Any regular reader of this blog knows how many times we've warned you about taking a cruise.
From Somali pirates to random people falling off the decks to infectious viruses to running aground, there really isn't any good reason to take a cruise and many more good reasons to stay home.
Well, this week the Carnival Triumph proved once and for all that if you're dumb enough to get on one of these floating death traps you deserve exactly what you get.
For five days, the 3000 passengers on this ship had five working toilets to use so most of them crapped in plastic bags and left their wrapped feces outside the doors to their staterooms. There was no power because of a fire which brought with it no working toilets, air conditioning, or food.
Smelly and starving, the passengers patiently waited while they were towed to shore. That alone took days. A scheduled four day cruise turned into five days trapped on a floating sewage barge.
Delightful.
