This is like a Greek tragedy, or a warped episode of Final Destination.

Carnival Triumph cruise from hell goes on as bus breaks down

and then passengers are told there is a fault with their PLANE!

Triumph passengers were stuck again! This time a bus they were aboard

broke down on its way from Mobile, Ala., to New Orleans.

Exhausted and bedraggled travelers had to haul down their luggage and wait for a replacement bus

No, thats for sure, I think a nice vacation laying around on a beach drinking margaritas may be in order.

I was at a fundraiser last night for the Human society and one of the girls I was talking to said her mom was on board and that it took 3 hours in line just to get a hot dog, She said it was hot, the toilets weren't working and the smell was awful.

I think the passengers will need another vacation to to recoup after this one.

A refund and discounts on future cruises is not going to be acceptable I am sure for most passengers. Who would go on another cruise with them? I think they should at least double the refunds. Expect major lawsuits. This may be the end of Carnival.

I guess you should always bring your own bag.

Sounds more like a floating concentration camp, then a luxury cruise.

Future liners should have oars like viking ships, just in case.
