Valuable lessons learned by the passengers on the Carnival cruise ship Triumph:
- If you hadn’t gone on a cruise ship, you never would have known that having to poop into seasickness bags was an option, anywhere.
- A multi-billion dollar... ship that is operating on emergency power apparently does not have the juice to operate a wireless router which draws the electricity of a light bulb. So, no cell phone access for you, Mr. and Mrs. Stranded Passenger.
- Never trust a cruise line that thinks ports of call in Mexico should be high on your list of vacation priorities. On the other hand, a five day nightmare on a stranded cruise ship is valuable experience when you next plan a trip to romantic Acapulco.
- In an emergency, the Carnival line thinks onion sandwiches are an acceptable emergency ration.
- When the engine room is on fire and your cabin is filled with smoke, do not listen to the cruise ship employees who tell you to stay where you are.
- If your ship breaks down, Carnival will tow you to either a) the second least desirable place on Earth, or b) Mobile, Alabama. Either way, you will have no choice in the matter.
- Feces running down the walls is part of Carnival’s emergency preparedness protocols.
Life is not without its ironies. All of those passengers should go to Carnival’s Facebook page and answer this question while the link is still up:
Our company slogan is "Fun For All. All For Fun." If you created a personal slogan to represent your last Carnival cruise vacation, what would it be?
