Oh the lovely Carnival Cruise ship Splendor. Ordinarily, it's a 697 million dollar, 13 deck, 3,006 passenger fun boat that's been zipping around the sea's for two years now. This past week however, it's been a 113k ton stink bomb being towed back to port after a fire knocked out the ships electricity.
Yesterday, it made it back to San Diego after a SLOW 4 day tug back into port. Two tugboats were dispatched to the coast of Mexico where the ship was stuck and at the zippy pace of 6 mph (converted to mph for you land-lovers, 5.21 knots). For days the pool and casino were shut down. Hot food and drinks became a thing of the past. Open windows and nap decks became your new AC and the worst part? Toilets across the ship were becoming a stinky problem.
My only question is: What concessions will the passengers on the ship get from Carnival?
I guess they are not suing, they are chewing instead, burgers! Link to story...
