You would think that for a ship so expensive they would have had a little redundancy in the ship systems.
The cost for lack of it will be very high.

I’d guess it will need a good washing after a few thousand people hang it over the side for their morning constitutional.
Talk about a miserable experience. Feel sorry for the travelers.

The worst part would be 3300 people w/no toilets. Wonder what the contingency is for that? Ugh. Hope Carnival at least gave everyone free booze.

Passengers are getting food and water, but the toilets don’t work. What could go wrong? This article is probably reporting conditions better than they actually are and there is a potential for major health risk.

It took 3 hours to fight the fire? That seems like some fire.
Don’t these boats have fire suppression systems?

and passengers will be taken back to California, where the cruise line will
help get them home.
Did this strike anybody besides me funny? Does "help" mean they get a $100 voucher or something?

Didn’t something like this happen 10 years ago to another Carnival Cruise?
To: Dr. Scarpetta
I’ve never wanted to take one of those fancy cruises. An hour on an excursion boat or ferry when I have to is about it for me. This type of thing happened to a cousin and her family several years ago on a fancy cruise.

You mean there actually is a Lido Deck?

No AC Or Toilets, Crippled Carnival Ship Splendor Needs Tow And the plan is to get them to Messico? How is that an improvement? It sounds like a typical Mexican vacation.

Ummmm, I don't think I'd be too thrilled to go to Ensenada.
What a choice....a cruise ship with no bathrooms or.....Mexico! UGH!

Well, my Sis & BIL are on a cruise, but they were headed to Panama. This must be in the Pacific.

As I get seasick in the bathtub, Carnival or any other cruise line will not have to worry about me as a prospective client. Stuck on a ship with no ac or working toilets is to me a vacation from hell.
