Taking a Cruise is a
wonderful experience. I’ve taken three cruises and will continue to
cruise for the rest of my life. That is not the case for the
passengers of the cruise ship the Carnival Triumph. The Carnival
Triumph left Galveston, Texas, on February 7, 2013 carrying 3,143
passengers and 1,086 crew and was due to return there on February 11,
2013. On February 10, 2013 there was a fire in the engine room
causing the ship to have no power. The passengers on the ship went
through 5 days of pure hell. There was a shortage of food and raw
sewage in the cabins and in the hallways. Passengers were forced to
sleep on deck to get away from the stench. It was two days before a
tug boat reached the Carnival Triumph to pull the 893 foot ship to
the port in Mobile, Alabama. The Triumph arrived on February 14,
2013, passengers were cheering on deck and from the balconies they
were finally getting off the filthy ship from hell. I don’t know
what it is about Carnival Cruise line. Just over a year ago the Costa
Concordia which was part of Carnival Cruise line. Hit the rocks and
sank killing 32 people. It seems to me that Carnival Cruise line does
not know how to hire the right crew to operate their ships or that
the ships are too old and need to be tired. Carnival Cruise line had
the nerve to offer a full refund and $500.00 to every passenger. I
don’t think so!
Everyone I have talked to
on the cruises I have been on has nothing good to say about Carnival
Cruise Line. One of the biggest complaints was the service sucked. I
have only cruised Royal Caribbean and there sister ship Celebrity. I
must say Royal Caribbean is my favorite by far. I’m a service
driven person. I feel that if I’m spending all that money I want my
service and experience spot on. For $100.00 more I’ll pay that for
peace of mind. I just want to say don’t be afraid to cruise it is
so fun. I think everyone should experience one time.
