@martinc.720 Especially because alcohol makes you pee like crazy, and too much makes you puke. So, a bunch of angry drunk people with no toilets peeing puking and pooping. Great idea.
It's actually the first time I have heard the technical details of the fire. It's usually just mentioned as a fire in the engine room without any of the actual story.
Thank you for the excellent research, and laying out this story so clearly. I remember the news stories, but this is the first time I've ever heard such detail. Very impressive presentation.
I've never been on a cruise ship. Only ever slept on an overnight ferry in the Philippines, where the bunks were on completely open decks, it was a beautiful crossing to Palawan. However: one thing I know I will never do is, return to a tiny box with no way out in the depth of the bow of a ship when it begins to show signs of trouble. Gives me chills just thinking about it.
6:28 "Passengers enjoy the smell of the ocean" The phrase "Enjoy while it lasts" comes to mind. I don't know how you were able to deliver that line and "to everyone's relief" with a straight face lol
Oh yeah. The Sewol taught us a lot. But I will say there is a culture thing there too, they were sitting in water, in the dark and still not leaving because of a cultural respect and deference to leadership figures. Most of us reading this don't have that sort of culture. (don't get me started on cultural influence) Essentially if you put us in that situation we would feel confident in persuing our instincts and finding safety.
Not to mention the Titanic "go back to your cabin, nothing's wrong", and the Costa Concordia "go back to your cabin, it's just an electrical short, all is well". I'm absolutely getting my vest and standing on deck. Carnival had a moderate fire, I think in the smoke stack, a few years ago and they said the same thing and everyone ignored them. Fool me once...
I was hired by the Carnival and was about to join the Triumph,but at a last minute,the cruise line changed it to the older Fantasy...I was soooo disappointed,until I learned of this incident. So I guess I dodged a bullet.
What exactly were they suing for? A poor trip? There was no wrongful death or disfigurement. They refunded them in full, gave them all 500 bucks for any losses; and; oh, kept the boat afloat and got them back safely to a harbor. Sure you could say pain and suffering…. but other than the sewage issue (which they didn’t ignore; they attempted to do everything in their ability to make things as good as possible), and lack of HVAC. It was a miracle that no one was seriously injured or killed. The crew and company reacted very appropriately.
Carnival really did need to send more tugboats immediately, and Portapotties. Six knots an hour over such a distance was just not enough. This ship was a health emergency. As a nurse, I'm shocked that human waste from 3000+ people was allowed to slosh around. So dangerous from a nursing perspective.
Even if they had a way to get portapotties on board they would have been quickly overwhelmed. They'd need *hundreds upon hundreds* of them and there's just no feasible way to do that; it's quicker to get the ship to port. A lot of passengers made things worse by still using toilets or their shower instead of peeing / pooping in a trash bin and dumping it overboard. I haven't finished the video yet so he may have covered this but there were a lot of challenges with getting the tug to port and the Gulf's current wasn't doing them any favors early on. Ultimately at the end of the day this was a freak and unprecedent situation that's been corrected in newer cruise designs.
Honestly given how many things had to go spectacularly wrong for this to happen they handled it kinda well. They evacuated the woman who needed it, got supplies from nearby ships (leaving them on the borderline if anything went wrong), arranged transfers and compensated all passengers (not just per room by the sound of it). Yes it is a good PR fix and the minimum that should be expected but how often have people had to fight for this? This whole thing could have been worse though. Imagin this but in the middle of the Atlantic of Pacific? Or just a notoriously dangerous patch of water? I live not that far from Bass Strait and the roaring 40s that is freaking dangerous man.
As a marine engineer I can safely say this entire thing was a clusterfuck. The fire was allowed to get out of control, multiple gensets were "down for maintenance", the ER engine room was unmanned at the time of the fire (completely illegal and inexcusable) not to mention seeming impossible on a ship with a crew of over 1000 man crew! We never leave the ER unmanned sailing with a crew of 12! Not sure how much of this is true and how much got butchered the media, but the crew was either completely incompetent or the information is wrong as the news manages to completely screw up information like this every singel day🤦
You can view the final report from the Bahamian authorities online, but if I remember right the biggest issue was two fold a) the control cables between the engine rooms and the control room were damaged by the fire and b) the electrical bus was damaged and c) there was a single point of failure.
A few days without a toilet and people shit and piss everywhere. How would these helpless and infantile tourists survive if they got into REAL trouble. In Finland, fortunately, almost all men (and some women as well) do military service (at least 6 months), so everyone knows how to get along without all the possible comforts of civilization. Oh, what kind of breeches.

Great Video again👍 I never heard about this incident. After all, Crew was working super👍 Of course, it is not what you expect on a cruising trip. I really don‘t understand these spraycovers!! You will never find the leak. Usually heavy oil is not to ignite so easy. ( I thought?). For me, using Spraycovers is like useing ducktape, instead of real maintenance. Great Video, can’t wait for the next 👍👍😘
"Refurbishment" - You mean a large team of "underpaid" workers, indifferent to how much they were paid, had to clean up that oversized porta-potty ! If this was the 1950s, I would have towed it to where they parked all those WW2 warships subjected to those early nuke tests !
the fact they had thousands of them bags means they've ran a scenario where toilets failed and someone chimed in and said ''plastic bags !'' ,and the ceo said '' Brilliant idea '' 🤣. You'd get the engineers to cannibalise the top deck railings grids vents etc steel and start making porter potties they can hang over the lower deck railing so they could poop in the sea lol with bed sheets privacy .. Few hours work for lads that definitely have a decked out workshop onboard..grinder welder etc..they can change a broken piston at sea so 2 dozen port potties is easy..
That's one thing about this incident that I've always wondered about.... *why* did they not make makeshift toilets that allowed waste to either drop directly into the sea behind the ship or drain down spare pipe to the sea. Day 1 they should have made a designated male urinal area for dudes to just piss over the railing and in a matter of hours could have rigged up some sort of temporary toilet mechanism using the materials you mentioned.
@@TheCraigy83 I've had amazing memories and vacations on cruises but I realize they're not everyone's cup of tea. I've even cruised on Carnival before although now that they've officially become the WalMart of the Seas I can't see myself cruising with them again.
Been on Carnival, NCL, and Royal Caribbean. Never had anything less that a great time on Carnival, never had a good time on NCL, and Royal fell right in the middle. Absolutely best crew are on Carnival. Of course, I don't do the cheapo 3 day booze cruises on Carnival...Mediterranean, Baltic, Alaska, trans-Pacific, and 10 day Caribbean have a different demographic of passenger who's not there just to get drunk.
I went on a cruise ship when i was 17, with my friend and his parents. We quickly got to know all the other kids our age and got up to a tonne of mischief. We discovered that one of the outside bars shut at 2am and would be entirely empty and we could go behind the bar, turn on the ... gas? for the beer lines and even though they had removed the taps we could insert something into them and beer would come out. Cue finding cups and a bunch of us kids getting drunk, we were sneaky about it and did this nearly every night of the cruise without getting busted. This also turned a bunch of us into night owls, who'd sleep most of the day and get up to shenanigans at night. We hardly ever saw my friends parents as we were operating on different day night cycles, and they were too busy having their own fun to pay much attention. There was also a tropical storm we had to avoid and miss one of the destinations, and they closed all outside decks for a day. We found a way outside and that all furniture had been tied down. With the heavy wind we discovered we could unsecure the plastic tables, have them upside down on the deck with the four legs sticking in the air.... then flip them up, hold onto two legs and put your feet on the other two legs and the wind would turn it into a makeshift sail and hurtle you down the deck. The deck was curved so you'd hit the railing and be slowed down slowly until you got to the center. We got to do this a few times each before we were busted, names taken and threatened that the captain would speak to us (which seemed like a very serious thing at the time). I guess it was incredibly dangerous... but so much fun. I've never bothered going on a cruise as an adult because i will never have so much fun and mischief as i had as a kid lol
Why would the lack of one generator plunges the boat in darkness? There is no isolation between anything? Kinda boggling they couldn't power essentials..
If I remember correctly the issue is that the fire destroyed a common point of failure with the electrical bus so they had no way to transfer power to where it was needed. For years after this incident as a safety measure cruise ships had huge portable generators installed on an upper deck and had massive cables ran into the engineering spaces to provide power backup in case a freak situation like this happened again. Newer cruise ships had the design improved so this couldn't happen again.
I was not there, But the Cruise Compony treated them well. and was on with soughting its issues. In life nothings garrenteed. Should think of it has an adventure. A pooey one but still.
when i saw this on the news i was only thinking "why not shit in a bucket and throw it overboard?" or at least sit over the railing and shit, works on fishinboats in a pinch ^^
Surprised they didn't name it Carnival _Golden Shower_ or Carnival _Chocolate River_ - TBH, sounds just like every day in a S.E Asian inter island ferry.
atleast Carnival behaved somewhat civil and actually apoligised to their customers for the incident. it is sad to say but most cruiselines would not even do that when push comes to show. Especially if the captain is from the Mediterranean sea. The only real poor choice made in my humble opinion was the free bar which most likely happened to slip by due to the captain and other officers beeing exhausted, and the maintance by the company but that is sadly more normal operations by most A-list companies on todays world market.
They apologized but I remember when this happened they were relentlessly drug publicly on the news, tv shows, and forums for their pretty pathetic compensation offer to the passengers for what they had to go through.
Was it a problem for a crew member to grab the first extinguisher and put out the fire before it spread to the entire engine room instead of reporting the fire? I mean on a military ship you don't wait for approval to put out the fire or on a smaller civilian ship
"Guys the plumbing isn't working, offer them unlimited booze" What could go wrong lol
Whoever made that suggestion was probably really drunk at the time!😂😂
Of all cruise lines to do that on....Carnival is the very last I'd want to give free open bar to a bunch of pissed off stranded passengers
“They closed the open bar after 2 hours” put me on the floor 💀 😂
😂😂😂💯

Carnival sounds like a real crappy circus.
As if I needed yet another reason to never take a cruise.
Happy vacation. Please Sht in this bag
Poop cruise, plague cruise(s); yet people still go on these things lol.
Well there were no deaths for a change👍
Neat merch bro!!!
👍🏻
The "Poop-Cruise from Hell", is part of Maritime and Internet History. ⚓💩
Carnival: the Walmart of the seas
Surprised they didn't name it Carnival _Golden Shower_ or Carnival _Chocolate River_ - TBH, sounds just like every day in a S.E Asian inter island ferry.
atleast Carnival behaved somewhat civil and actually apoligised to their customers for the incident.
it is sad to say but most cruiselines would not even do that when push comes to show.
Especially if the captain is from the Mediterranean sea.
The only real poor choice made in my humble opinion was the free bar which most likely happened to slip by due to the captain and other officers beeing exhausted, and the maintance by the company but that is sadly more normal operations by most A-list companies on todays world market.
They apologized but I remember when this happened they were relentlessly drug publicly on the news, tv shows, and forums for their pretty pathetic compensation offer to the passengers for what they had to go through.
Pooparadise Cruises. I wouldn't board that thing if you paid me $10k
Was it a problem for a crew member to grab the first extinguisher and put out the fire before it spread to the entire engine room instead of reporting the fire?
I mean on a military ship you don't wait for approval to put out the fire or on a smaller civilian ship
18:07 dam! i hope they total the hole ship after that 😬
They didn’t. I was on the Triumph two years later. I honestly didn’t notice anything amiss.
I’ve been on several cruises. I’m glad I skipped the poop cruise.
I don’t need to know more about this. But I do want to hear you tell it. lol
😂
You play, you pay.
Captain, we have a situation a rather crappy one.
would do a big loggy
