Passengers to be reimbursed with a coupon for a discount on another Carnival cruise?
I’d take that trip.
A two-fer.
If they're saying the ship is irreparable, that means the engines are pretty much totally destroyed, as in 'melted/burned beyond repair'. Those engines are huge. You can't just open door on the ship and replace them. The ships are constructed in such a way that in order to replace them, you literally have to cut the ship apart to do so.
Imagine...a two-year-old ship, destined for scrap already. What a waste.
