The famous dirt cruise began when a fire broke out in an engine room as the carnival victory was on its way back to Galveston, Texas, to wrap a four -day trip. Although the fire was extinguished quickly and no one was injured, the power damage broke into the ship and left its toilets that cannot be used.
By the first day, it became clear that waste was going to be a problem, as staff directed guests to urinate in the showers and fascinate in red plastic biohazard bags. Guests were then asked to leave the bags outside their rooms to collect as they stacked in the hallways.
The smell, which marinated in the intense heat worse by any working air conditioning, became overwhelming. One guest in the documentary continually recalled taking imodium in an effort to avoid using the bathroom.
In an effort to escape the heat, many guests moved their mattresses out of their rooms and on to the deck, where they could at least try to sleep in fresh air.
In an attempt to pick up morale, the crew eventually decided to open the ship’s bar for free drinks, but led to people urinating over the rails and throwing the red bags over the top (one member of the crew even remembered the wind blowing the bag back in the face of guest).
Efforts began to help those on board almost immediately, with extra food and supplies arriving in a boat within 24 hours. However, the supply crew were unable to do anything about the lack of electricity, and could not improve the sanitary conditions.
A rescue attempt by a group of pull boats proved to do more bad than good as the weather took a turn for the worse and caused the boats that pulled on the ship was tilt, sending sewage pouring out of the toilets and floors.
“You would walk down the hallway and suddenly you would hear, ‘squish, squish, squish, squish.’ And you know what you’re standing in, ”one guest remembers in the documentary.
Carnival released a statement Around the release of the documentary, saying that the event is “a moment that can be reached for the whole cruise industry.” He also touched on the health and safety upgrades that the cruise line has made since the incident.
“A thorough investigation following the design vulnerability event that was corrected and led a carnival cruise line to invest more than $ 500 million across our whole fleet in comprehensive fire prevention and prevention, improved redundancy and improved management systems, all to support our commitment to robust safety standards,” the statement reads. “This is in addition to our active health, environmental, security and security protocols that lead the entire fleet of the carnival corporation as we maintain our commitment to industry leadership in this area.”
The statement concludes, “We are proud of the fact that over 53 million guests have enjoyed a safe and memorable holiday with us since 2013, and we will continue to operate to these high standards.”
Finally, the ship was drawn to land in Mobile, Alabama, after nearly five days at sea. Guests on the dirt cruise received “Full Advertisement, Shipment Costs, $ 500 payment and a free cruise,” according to the documentary.
In terms of the victory itself, the carnival spent more than $ 115 million in its upgrade and renovation, and still sails today under the name Sunrise Carnival.
Maritime lawyer Frank Spagnoletti represents a number of passengers in a series of legal cases after the fact, all of which were settled. The company was defended at the time by a clause in the cruise ticket contract which said it “made any security for safe passing, Seaworthy ship, adequate and healthy food, and sanitary and safe living conditions.”
The clause has since been drawn from a carnival policy.
