Default Is Carnival Cutting Corners on Maintenance?

There definitely is something wrong at Carnival. There have been too
many incidents. Whether they are skimping, poorly managed, or there is
a design issue they need to spend some of Mickeys billions and fix the
problem.



Funny. Of course several of these problems have occurred because Carnival
was testing safety equipment and found it wanting, so they "took the high
road" and canceled or curtailed cruises. And of course no other cruise
lines have had incidents all this time... Or have they? If you did a
little research, you'd find there have bneen several. Recently three ships
came into New York so "sick" they had to be scrubbed from bow to stern
before allowing any passengers aboard. Only one of them was a Carnival
ship. Which one was reported by the press? The press is definitely
"piling On" because it sells commercial time, and is always popular to beat
up on the big guy. And you, my dear friend, are buying it hook, line, and
sinker.
