You took a cruise and now you are a maritime expert.
Since I just got off a plane from Europe, I guess I am now a pilot.
Great logic there, Norm.
Without knowing how much work, dedication, and experience it takes to become a captain of a cruise ship you have the chutzpah to call him/her a nincompoop? You sir, have no idea what you are talking about.
I’ve been on a fair number of old and new cruise ships for close to 40 years,, reliance on technology and gadgets and presence of mind and sight mixed together have usually done the trick..
but occasionally, stuff happens, too bad Sandra Bullock wasn’t there to save the day or Cap’n Stubing.
Helluva note this happened to a ship named the Opera.. and this so soon after the Budapest tragedy.
btw, nincompoop may be a bit much, more like, recently employed mariner would be a better fit.
Bon Appetit!! and nice wings.
