With Carnival Cruise Lines being in the news lately you would think that cruises are the most unsafe means of transportation and the best way to ruin your vacation. But that is not so. Just as in every day life... things HAPPEN. Yes it's a little unfortunate that in the last month three of Carnival Cruise Line ships has had problems.
It started with Carnival Triumph engine fire which stranded passengers at sea for five days, then Carnival Dream lost power in the port of Caribbean island of St. Maarten and recently Carnival Legend had technical problem that prevented it from cruising at its optimal speed -causing passengers to miss one port of call on their itinerary.
It sounds like Carnival needs to make more scheduled reviews of their ships but they are a reliable Cruise Line with great service. Cruise ships are safe like planes and trains which have their technical problems as well. It's unfortunate when a vacation is interrupted and you are extremely inconvenienced. Especially in the Triumph situation where they were without power, had poor sewage conditions and they had to deal with sweltering heat! But the good thing is that the ships did not sink and everyone made it back to shore in reasonable conditions.
Thinking of avoiding Carnival? DON'T this could have easily been any cruise line it just happened to all be under Carnival. So rethink your hesitation some more, like I said things happen and you could be missing out on the best vacation!
