Splendor Cruise Ship Fire - 3 reasons why you will lose if you sue
Carnival He's right, it is a fair offer - you get two good crusies for what you originally paid, the cruise line didn't do it on purpose, and commuters are routinely inconcienced by railroads and airlines with essentially no such compensation. Anyone who sues should be barred from entertaining their friends with heroic stories of having spam for breakfast. On the side I think the Cruise Line saying they didn't serve the Spam, like it was unacceptable, should result in the Commander of Naval Operations sending a picture to the Carnival CEO of himself in full uniform standing with his middle finger outstretched and a voice bubble saying "Loose my phone number and have your next disaster someplace off Somalia." They really do owe the US Navy and Taxpayers an appology on that one! The Navy mounts a maximum effort, at taxpayer expense, because the cruise ship is supposedly running out of food - and they're not happy with what was delivered. That's why the Taxpayers came equiped with middle fingers. Some military families may comsider this when booking their next cruise. Val Kraut |

The provisions were bought and provided by Carnival. The Navy only delivered them. -- Charles |

Splendor cruise ship fire - 3 reasons why you will lose if you sue
" I don't think the Navy commander cares. The provisions were bought and provided by Carnival. The Navy only delivered them. ONLY DELIVERED THEM - do you have any idea how much it costs to operate a CVN task Group. Do you realize all flight airframes have limited lives and Carvival just used how many of these on the C-2s and delivery Helicopters. They should pay the taxpayer back for these. Especially if they ordered stuff they didn't indend to use . A fools mission at the Taxpayers expense. That's like I bought the box of Candy my friend paid top dollar to deliver it and I criticized it and choose not to eat it when it arrived. I still think the way it was done shows basic disrespect for those who came to aid - and an apology and thanks from Carnival to the Navy and US taxpayer is very much in order. You must think a CVN battle group is something like a UPS delivery truck! Val Kraut |

You must think a CVN battle group is something like a UPS delivery truck! Carnival says the Spam was not ordered, it was substituted by a vendor. All Carnival did was state that none was served to guests in response to the media making a big deal about Spam being served to luxury cruise ship passengers. It was not a fools mission, provisions delivered were used and needed. Carnival did thank the Navy. I don't see why an apology is needed. Also the Navy was already operating in the area training. The Navy helping out is part of it's mission and most of the passengers were US taxpayers. It was not a fools mission. -- Charles |

O Good! - the Carnival image must be preserved - there are no operating toilets, the place smells - but we're above serving Spam delivered at the Taxpayers expense. I still think, as a taxpayer, they owe an apology. Val Kraut |

How it happened and why the power could not be restored needs to be investigated so it hopefully can be prevented from happening again. Carnival apologized to the Splendor passengers for what they went through. They thanked the Navy. Your attitude is a little much. -- Charles |

All of this was written off as good training time for the chopper crews and folks deployed to the cruise ships. Probably better than what was scheduled since it was closer to real life situation. IF the flights from SD to the carrier were in addition to regularly scheduled, that might be an issue. -- "Even I realized that money was to politicians what the ecalyptus tree is to koala bears: food, water, shelter and something to crap on." ---PJ O'Rourke |

"Carnival apologized to the Splendor passengers for what they went through. They thanked the Navy. Your attitude is a little much. No it's not a bit much - they were on the ropes and called for help and then criticized what the help delivered because it didn't fit what they think their image is - so next time help yourself. Make a nice T-Shirt - I'd rather starve on Carnival than eat Spam! Val Kraut |

I still think, as a taxpayer, they owe an apology. You are so very over the top in your criticism....it was an ACCIDENT for heaven's sake. You're behaving as if it were intentional. It could have happened on any cruise line. Carnival ordered food supplies that were not perishable since there was no refrigeration. They may have ordered canned hams or turkey breasts...who knows? The supplier SUBSTITUTED the Spam because apparently they did not have what Carnival ordered in immediate supply. Carnival has thanked all who came to their aid and will generously reimburse all inconvenienced passengers at a pretty hefty price tag...The Navy was already in nearby waters doing exercises in preparation for exactly the situation that occurred. It gave them a real life experience to deal with. You are making a mountain out of a mole hill. Give it up...Carnival does not owe any apologies to you or anyone else for something that they did not deliberately cause...They have already apologized profusely to the passengers involved by word and action. --Jean---a taxpayer who thinks there are lots of other ways money is being wasted everyday that you should complain about! |
