Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, one out of point three wn I C
(00:01):
with Jay Towers, Allison and Chelsea. Welcome to Wednesday. I've
been seeing this on the Netflix menu for the last
couple of weeks that was coming yesterday, and it's called
train Wreck Poop Cruise. And this was this was the
twenty thirteen Carnival Triumph Cruise. So this is a cruise
(00:28):
that left from Galveston, Texas four days. It was going
to go Galveston to two days at Sea Cosamel and
then it comes back to Galveston. Okay, Okay. So it's
it's you know, it follows along people their home, their
videos and stuff, and they you know, one was like
(00:49):
a dad and his daughter's daughter was twelve at the time.
They had just gotten divorced, and it's like, I'm going
to take you on a cruise. You know, we get away,
you know, three girls, bachelorette party kind of thing. A
guy went with his father in law, his future father
in law. He just asks this girl to marry him,
and it was going with their family, all paid for.
I mean, you're following these people and they go on
this cruise and day one is great, Day two is great,
(01:12):
all good, and everybody's drinking and Cosmo and them, like
day four, on their way back in the morning, they
wake up to an alarm going off. So there's a
fire in the engine room or in one of the
stacks or whatever. Okay, And the long and short of
it is it burns through the electrical wires for the
(01:32):
entire ship. And this is now just a cruise ship
dead in the ocean. It's fine.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I would literally hate every second of that. That would
be my worst night marriage. So it can't be stranded
at sea just floating.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I mean, it's fine, it's floating, but it's but no power.
I mean emergency little those little emergency lights. Like people
were taking the lights that come on when they hit
salt water on your vest and ripping them off and
pouring like club soda on them so they'd activate just
so they could see in the bathroom. I mean, you
(02:05):
don't bring a flashlight on your cruise usually, no, you know,
so imagine that no air conditioning, sweltering hot. All the
food had to be thrown away, all the perishable food
had to be thrown away. The last day, the last day,
people are going up, you know, people are going up,
taking their mattresses up to the deck and putting their
mattresses out there, making like a tense city up there.
(02:27):
And then they find out there's no fix in it.
There's nothing, and there's no cell signal.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Oh so they can't even alert and they can't well.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
They were able to. It was one of one of
those phones they had, like one of those uh, you know,
satellite phones. Satellite.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
OK.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
So yes, they left Carnival, No. But the long and
short of it is, I think they were on this
thing for seven days wow. Because they're like, okay, we're
going to get tug boats from Mexico and they're going
to come up, grab the ship and tug it back
to Mexico. But it took so long and so many
(03:05):
days that no one and they had no tracking or anything.
So the ship started slowly going like hundreds of miles
floating off course towards Mobile, Alabama. Oh my god. So
then they had to wait to Mobile Alabama. And by
that time, another cruise ship comes up and they the
other cruise ship is sending some food over. They're all
(03:28):
partying on that ship and waving, and these people are
like and now to stop and help us. It's called
the poop Cruise because the toilets wouldn't flush.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
All right, thank you, Because for as much as I've
been enjoying this story, I felt very misled by the
title and I was wondering when poop would come into play.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
So here's the deal. It's called that because if you
had to happen to do a number one, you had
to do that in your shower because that would drink
because there's no flushing. And the number two they put
red biohazard bags in everybody your room and people were like,
I'm not going to the bathroom in a red um
and it ended up after seven days you had to
and what we were gonna do. Everyone had a poop
(04:07):
in a bag. So when the tugboats started, I'm telling
the whole story, but you know what, I'm not taking
anything away from it. But when the tugboats finally came,
and then all those days of mobile Alabama because of
the way and it was a little weathery, you know,
the ship was on an angle. So now all those bathtubs,
all the showers, all the toilets that were layered and
(04:27):
not flushed, all started overflowing throughout the entire ship. Oh
my gosh, it is like you will sit there watching
this going like, oh my god, what would I do?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
They all got a refund, right, like, you get your
money back.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Well, here's the thing. Maybe you should watch it so
you can see what happened at the time.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I swear to God, if they don't get their money, got.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Charged for the three extra days. Look, contract do you
think you sign every time you go on a cruise?
What do you think the contract is? We're not responsible
your ticket. Your ticket's the contract, and the contract does
not ensure safe travel that the boat won't sink. Oh,
doesn't promise any of those things on the contract. It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I had a feeling, you know what, that's just shameful.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Like even okay, even if you were able to get
out of paying all these people back out of the
goodness of your heart. As a major company who makes
a ton of money, and you do want these people
to come back eventually, wouldn't you do something to try to.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Make that happen.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I don't think goodness of your heart is part of
the bottom line of corporation.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Yeah, Ryan Ormani writes us, Oh my god, I've considered
this and I keep going past it. Terror writes, I'm
literally watching it now, I'm cringing, and my husband and
I are taking our kids on a cruise in September.
Timika says, watch it today, disgusting. I would never go
on a cruise fast forward. I love cruising. I love cruises.
It would not deter me.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
What my friends tells our group, like sometimes every once
in a while, we're like, why don't we just get
the friend group and go on a cruise very it's contained,
it's easy, it's planned out for you. And she's like,
I'm not cruising. I will not be a cruiser. God,
I loved it.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I'll tell you one other word. If you watch this,
one other word and when it comes up during the cruise,
it'll stay with you forever. The word is lasagna. The
word is.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
It's going to wreck with Asgna for us, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
No, not so much, not so much. Where the technique
of lasagna? Okay, okay, all right, there you go. That's
what I watched on that Ques
