Hope it was not the buffet.
I didn’t even have the salmon mousse.
Anybody that knows the recent history of what’s been going on, on Carnival won’t be surprised if it’s “ratchet” related.
The Carnival Cruise Line folks have had a lot of bad press lately. It seems large numbers of black vacationers have been acting up at sea if the viral videos of their frequent melées are to be believed. Carnival management tried to stem the bad behavior by prohibiting all rap music. That backfired badly. Who knows . . . maybe someone was disrespected on the Serenity Deck.
Or maybe it was something else, given the coverage.
I wouldn’t set foot on a Carnival Cruise after all the “black partying” and fighting I’ve seen on the videos. No Thanks.
That said, these cruises attract a lot of elderly - and very elderly - customers.
We take the smaller cruise lines - Viking and American River Cruises - and they are always chock-full of elderly in wheelchairs, walkers and with oxygen tanks - they need a golf cart to get to the bus which is yards away. Some I was sure wouldn’t make it to the end of the cruise - and sure enough, last cruise, one elderly cruiser had to be taken off by ambulance, luckily we were docked at the time. Never heard the outcome...

Cruise Lines do feature theme cruises. Carnival might consider doing a red blue gangbanger cruise limited to filling the ship with Crips and Bloods with semi automatics. I can’t think of a better way of the garbage taking itself out to sea to empty itself and coming back with an empty garbage barge.
So much for serinity on deck.
The victim is a buddy’s cousin. He had won a couple of jackpots in the casino earlier in the day.
