Carnival Cruise on the Triumph

My sister-in-law was on the Carnival Triumph cruise ship that was stranded at sea last week. The following blog post was written by a friend of hers who was on the cruise with her. Interesting reading.

Cool. We cruise a couple of times a year, although on Royal Caribbean. We started out on Carnival but haven't been on them in almost 4 years. That's a great read and she has a great attitude. Too many people who have never cruised believed that everyone was starving and that no bathrooms were working the entire time and that there was no fresh water. I've tried to explain to a couple of people, to no avail. As others on the cruise boards have said, "ship happens"

 

She and her friends had rooms on level 7 and were fortunate to have a good spot under the stairs. My sister-in-law said that people with rooms on the lower levels and sleeping outside had it worse than them during the crisis.

 

We always book suites on higher levels. I had read the same thing about people on lower levels.
cruisecritic.com is a good resource.
