The ship has finally come it.....well it's in Mobile. I've never been on a megacruise ship. Don't think I ever want to
Over ten million people cruise out of American ports each year. So the fact that only 4,300 people got stuck on a floating barge for a week during the last year is actually a miracle. As terrible as conditions might have been, there really wasn't any choice. You couldn't very well transfer 4,300 passengers from one ship to a rescue ship in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico. There is no telling how many lives could have been lost.
I wouldn't want to have been on the Carnival Triumph (or any Carnival ship), but it won't keep me from cruising.
