Sparky2 Posted February 25, 2014 #26 Share Posted February 25, 2014 If there were conditions like that someone would have posted the pics somewhere. Everyone loves sympathy. There were lots of people that came on here and said it wasn't as bad as some made it out to be. One of my friend's son & DIL were on that cruise and said it wasn't as bad as what CNN was making it out to be. They were lucky, though, as they had a balcony cabin.

yogimax Posted February 25, 2014 #27 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Bottom line... If Carnival had designed their ships correctly and maintained them as required, this would never have happened! Accident? No! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mephistoles Posted February 25, 2014 #30 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I feel badly for those who truly suffered through the Triumph "poop cruise"...and I feel badly for those who suffered through the cases of norovirus on RCCL, HCL, Carnival, and other ships.... ....that being said, I'm still cruising!

RuthlessBoss Posted February 25, 2014 #31 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Bottom line... If Carnival had designed their ships correctly and maintained them as required, this would never have happened! Accident? No! And your car never breaks down? Refrigerator never breaks down? A/C never breaks down? If manufacturers designed their products right, they'd never break down either:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I'm just confused as to what you want people's reaction to this not-so-news to be. I won't be canceling any of my plans due to the "What-ifs" in life. Whatever happens happens. And I intend to have a heck of a good time during it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailor_jimc Posted February 25, 2014 #36 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Count me as one of those that was there. On that cruise. Was it as bad as they are trying to make it sound? No. Was there urine on the floors and feces... never saw feces... There were a couple of ocassions when the list of the ship changed from one side to the other causing toilet water with urine in it to spill out onto the floors in the public restroom areas. (Only because people continued to use the toilets when they were told not to) But these spills were cleaned up as quickly as possible. No one FORCED you to walk through it. I didn't see anything worthy of taking a picture of. Except for the coast guard helicopter and the smoke coming from the funnel during the fire. We were on that cruise with 2 other families. All of us have been on Carnival cruises since then. If it was so awful and mentally life altering, I doubt any of us would have cruised again. It was not pleasant, but it was nothing worse than you would experience going camping... these people are just looking for a pay day that they don't deserve.

golfb4cruzing Posted February 25, 2014 Author #38 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Ya , that's what I was thinking. Kinda pathetic to get joy from others screw-ups. I have no joy with the issue. I just illuminated the latest court actions involving the SS PoopyScoop. I get joy from all the folks jumping up and down feeling their beloved Carnival is getting slighted. And there may not be photos as part of their compensation agreement from the cruise. Maybe a signed gag order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R3DP0 Posted February 25, 2014 #40 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) I am just waiting for the lawsuit where someone's spouse or lover has become sexually unable to perform due to this cruise.

But I sure as h-word wouldn't be going to court claiming all this BS trying to get paid while giving the slimy lawyer a third of my "winnings"!

gregg204 Posted February 25, 2014 #47 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Not looking good for Carnival. http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/25/travel/carnival-triumph-cruise-trial/index.html?hpt=hp_c2 Confused why is not looking good for Carnival? They knew this was coming. I think its looking real good for Carnival. The Triumph was voted its #1 ship for Jan and continues to sail full. Yawn. Heard it all before. Exactly, a story CNN can not let go. Its ok, let the bashers have their fun. Its been a while since they had some material to feed off of. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If no one sues how will they get paid? BTW, the people on the cruise didn't "get nothing". They were compensated by Carnival quite generously as I recall without lawyers. Well maybe not everyone agrees - like lawyers - because IF NO ONE SUES THEY DONT GET PAID! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
