This week on the news…
The carnival cruise ship triumph broke down and passengers
were stuck on the ship for 5 days with no power, limited food, and only
makeshift toilets (which were just red biohazard bags). There are pictures of
sewage leaking down the walls of the ship after its leaning caused all the
toilets to overflow, and of the top deck turned into a camping ground of tents.
I feel bad for all those who had their vacations ruined, but I feel even worse
for the employees on the ship. I mean, they had to go through all the same
things as the passengers plus some. They had to use the biohazard bags and then
they had to dispose of them all; it didn’t sound very pretty. I also feel for
the staff because as an employee in the food industry I know how easily
customers can get upset, and how often they overreact. In an interview on CNN a
man was infuriated with Carnival Cruises because they didn't get generators and
other supplies more quickly. I think that the crew was honestly trying to make
the best out of a crappy situation (literally), and people should have
recognized that.
