AHHH, I think he is probably right. He went on a cruise, but ended up having a FREE camping trip, a GRATIS free Cruise in the future, at least $500 cash, and a good story to tell. He is a winner with a positive attitude.

Oh yeah, what a deal...Get one vacation a year and spend it slipping and sliding on human waste..Cool...Tell all your friends and ask the wife how impressed she is!

All I would ask is for my money back and possibly the pay for the lost vacation time. I certainly wouldn’t be whining about pain and suffering.

Ah, the winning post on here.
What joys in life do not have some element of risk?
Ships sink, planes crash, hotels burn down...S happens.

I do not fault Carnival at all, and I think their compensation was quite fair and adequate.
The whiners, including those on this thread, should just stay in bed and never leave home.

Im with you, attitude and perspective are everything. Most folks crushing this guy on this thread have never been on a US Naval vessel...much worse is very common, especailly on LHA’s. If the guy says it wasnt that bad of an experience (except for all the idiots going into bunker mode), than it wasnt that bad of an experience.
