Carnival Corp’s CEO Micky Arison. His company is now offering a 30% discount to shipwrecked victims of the Costa Concordia on future cruises. Is this a sick joke? Who is doing Carnival’s PR? Descendants of Joseph Geobbels?

This outfit will be lucky to still be sailing after all the lawsuits.
Maybe the same person who hires the Captains and trains the crews.
Don’t you realize that all those people who were not injured in any way deserve to be given millions of dollars? for some reason...
This would have made a great episode of ‘Undercover Boss’.
Since the ship will probably be sold for scrap, maybe the passengers should be given dive suits and cutting torchs and be given all that’s cut off.
That’s the sort of offer I might make if I were a competitor. Actually, on second thought, it wouldn’t be 30%. It be 100%, or it wouldn’t be.
I believe the offer is a free ticket on your next voyage or 30% in cash of the ticket’s worth if for some reason you have nightmares about sailing again.
They are out of their minds. This is cheap, petty, insulting, and wrongheaded on every level.
That’s of course off of full retail... If you go to cruises.com you can get them for 50% off of retail.
That’s the good news. The bad news is that they’re charging the passengers double for life vests.
I have had friends, who were treated much better for far less. One ships lost its’ pods and had to cancel the cruise, they were given a free cruise and expenses home.
On my last Alaska cruise, we changed destination because of rough seas, another cruise ship was stuck in Hubbard Glacier for two days, because they went ahead.
Now that their Skipper has run off, it seems apparent Gilligan has been left in charge of the aftermath.
Not near enough for me! I want naked dancing girls in my luxury cabin. I want champagne in my bathtub. I want a lifetime supply of Cialis and all the condoms I can use. And I want it now! And beer, I want beer! And Chicago-style Bone-in Ribeye steaks for every meal. And my own personal PlayBoy Bunny masseuse.
I hope they all hold out for 35%. That would only be right.
