As they finally came off the Carnival cruise ship Triumph late Thursday and early Friday in Mobile, Ala., passengers from the ill-fated cruise told stories that call to mind TV's Survivor and literature's classic Lord of the Flies, the Los Angeles Times writes. Thanks and yeah, people are getting sick because sewage everyone; urine on the floors, waste in bags, and undercooked food. Strong fecal and urine stench near the cabins and just a poor environment. No food shortages, we’ve had 3 other carnival ships come by and one of the three again and they used a helicopter to drop a generator and just recently (today) we got a delivery of sterno.

She was asked which ship is currently the cruise line’s top-ranked vessel based on customer feedback. Carnival attorney Curtis Mase has asked Graham to reject all of the damage claims. In court papers, Mase said the passengers either haven’t proved their health issues are linked to the Triumph cruise or haven’t shown they suffer from any lingering problems at all. Passenger Debra Oubre, of Friendswood, Texas, who said she has worked in cruise line shore operations and has enjoyed a dozen cruises, said she joined the suit to hold someone accountable. CBS News reports that among the "caravan of buses" that Carnival chartered to take passengers to New Orleans, "at least one ... became stranded on the way."

The Carnival Triumph, dubbed the “Poop Cruise” after passengers were forced to live for almost a week amidst their own sewage, set sail Feb. 7 with only four of the six generators working, and the company knew about the fire hazard posed by the generators, CNN reports. The generator that caught fire and caused the outage had been overdue for maintenance for over a year, and was often not in compliance with the safety laws, according to the internal company documents. CNN obtained the documents as lawsuits are pending against the cruise line. For a short cruise holiday with P&O Ferries, pack as much as you like with zero luggage limits.

CCL serves 48.4 percent of total worldwide cruise passengers. RCL serves 23.3 percent, and all other brands combine to serve 28.3 percent of cruisers.

Except crowded and unhygienic.” And it wasn’t gross enough from keeping him from using a free voucher to go on another cruise next year. As he sat in an Alabama port, he was happy to cut the hype and explain what happened to his fellow users in an Ask Me Anything session conducted on his phone. Carnival said the ship had passed inspections and that it was in full compliance with all relevant regulations. Hundreds of passengers and up to 1,000 businesses on the Italian island have sued or are in the process of suing Carnival.

This effectively made the Carnival Triumph the second Carnival vessel to fail an inspection in 2017, after the Carnival Paradise scored an 83 in July, the Miami Herald reported. The Paradise earned a 96 in a re-inspection a few months later. Carnival has already offered passengers a refund, cruise credit, and $500, but this disaster may prove too big to be solved with money. Thirty passengers aboard the Costa Concordia lost their lives, and as of December 2012, two were still missing. But with these breakthroughs also came the company's first major PR nightmares.

They also chuckled at how disconnected recording and transmitting devices could possibly result in anything other than “non-operational” equipment. According to CBS News, 4,500 passengers were trapped at sea for over 24 hours with very little food and no A/C or hot water.

"And then," The New York Times explains, "there is the matter of potential litigation by passengers, although the ability of passengers to sue cruise ship operators is sharply limited, lawyers said." Said one passenger of the $500, "We think it's hush money." Cruise ship accidents, injuries, crimes, disappearances, fires, and collisions on the high seas involve issues of maritime law.
