spleenstomper Posted February 15, 2012 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2012 You would think people in Houma would understand the situation regarding captains and boating and how this was one ***** who caused death and a horrifying experience...

Rare Banditswife Posted February 15, 2012 #5 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I don't have time to take survey, but would definitely say heck No. We booked our next cruise right after the Costa incident. Cruising will most likely be safer than ever now. Someone made a reference to Titanic. 1 shipwreck in 100 years are very good odds. I'm looking forward to my Dream cruise.

FightOnRon Posted February 15, 2012 #7 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I am going on the Splendor in April. 1. Ship caught fire in past 2. Ship is sister ship to Concordia 3. Leaving on the 100th anniversary of Titanic sinking (which technically could be called a CCL ship now as White Star got taken over by Cunard which was taken by CCL). ANCHORS AWAY and bring on the DOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaParrotHead Posted February 15, 2012 #8 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Nope. The only thing it did do was make me order some mini LED lights with clips to put on our lanyards incase of a power outage we could make it back to the cabin (hopefully) and get our lifejackets. I have to say, I kept saying "where do I know 'Houma' from?" over and over in my head, until it dawned on me it was from "Swamp People". One of my faves. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady_cruiser Posted February 15, 2012 #11 Share Posted February 15, 2012 We left for cruise the morning the crash happened and it didn't stop us. And we have another one coming up in less than a month. Maybe we should all E-Mail the Houma newspaper and tell them that a simple yes and no poll does not do justice. I bet if they are bombarded with E-Mails to the editor they might take notice of how we really feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tucker in Texas Posted February 16, 2012 #13 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Just in case you are involved with something like this, a thing my Coast Guard friend told me is never put on your life jacket until you see daylight. They are taught that from Day 1 in the Academy. Wonder how many of those fatalities with people wearing life jackets found in their cabins were pinned against a ceiling or wall with them and drowned when they tried to make their way to the life boats. Maybe some, maybe none. Still what he told me makes sense. Tucker in Texas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh-angler Posted February 16, 2012 #19 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I feel safer on the ship rather than South Louisiana highways. I arrived in Houma Saturday after the Costa incident we would be leaving on Sunday on the Conquest and we had no negative feeling from our group of 13. I made a trip to Houma today for business and made a quick stop to check on family before returning to Lafayette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
