Otherwise, I'm assuming Carnival would have absorbed the cost of running another boat out there to take the people off to avoid the PR disaster that's brewing. They're just one death from this mess away from a huge fiasco.<br /><br />I know they don't have a spare boat, but I figure you suck up cancelling a cruise and making it up to the irate passengers as a cost of business to avoid what is happening now. It's a death by a thousand cuts in the media, and when the boat makes it to Mobile the pictures and stories that come out will make it a buyers market for cruises for another 6 months or so.<br /><br />2-1 odds on a name change for the "Triumph".CenterPuke88https://www.blogger.com/profile/17770056621255249861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-48847303138877496262013-02-13T12:26:19.202-05:002013-02-13T12:26:19.202-05:00Maybe a couple of tugboats could shepherd the Triu...Maybe a couple of tugboats could shepherd the Triumph to a port somewhere.<br /><br />signed, Proud Landlubber who gets visions of the Titanic on ferryboats.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01347115855111060618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-77632329292315525922013-02-13T12:07:10.149-05:002013-02-13T12:07:10.149-05:00I got to stand on the deck of the Missouri, once. ...I got to stand on the deck of the Missouri, once. <br />Now that is my kind of 'Cruise Ship'.

I think back to the days of Katrina, and how Carnival soaked the American taxpayer by offering temporary housing to flood victims and jacking up room rates to higher than normal.<br /><br />I'd love to see the whole company at the bottom of the ocean.Nangleatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908938252272172718noreply@blogger.com
