I think a cruise is a great vacation but you wouldn’t get me on a Carnival ship to save my life.
As a 20 year, 1 month, 18 day US Navy Vet, I say that ANYONE who gets underway ON PURPOSE DESERVES what they get.
Yeah, it’s only the propulsion and maneuvering system. Nothing to worry about. And you get a shiny new penny! See? See how shiny it is?
Now leave your money and go away ...
OK so skipping the Caymans means another day at sea. Another day at sea means people have nowhere to spend their money except onboard ship. People spend their money on the ship then it boosts Carnival’s bottom line. So maybe the engine problem was...fortuitous.
The media smells blood and will be in frenzy mode every time a toilet on a carnival ship backsup. Having said that, Dadgum, 2 different ships in 2 days? What the heck is going on.
