The routine arrives with confidence.
Cruise ships are marketed as floating resorts, but when something goes wrong, they can quickly become a nightmare. The Carnival Triumph incident in 2013 is a prime example. A fire caused a loss of power, affecting key systems, including sanitation. Thousands of passengers were left without working toilets, and the ship was eventually towed to Mobile, Alabama. The incident led to changes in cruise ship design and operation.
The “poop cruise” nickname stuck, and the incident was even documented in a Netflix series. The ship was later repaired and renamed Carnival Sunrise, but the memory of the incident remains.
Because nothing says “vacation” like a ship full of poop.
