hahahahahahaha one the floor
The Victory may just be the next Legend, Dream or even Triumph as we hobbled along at 75% power.
With that being said, I do think the media is being too harsh on Carnival and cruise ships period... I wouldn't mind being on ship that broke down if that meant my vacation was going to be longer

I really like RCI. We have stepped out to try out NCL. Good but not high on my list but I give them credit for hanging through the rough years and turning things around.
Also tried HAL. Not my cup of tea and I will leave it at that. Just returned from my first Celebrity cruise and they have moved ahead of Royal on my list. The Reflection was beautiful.
Not sure what is going on with Carnival but they really need to get it together and quick. This not only hurts Carnival but it gives the entire industry a black eye.
This morning Royal Caribbean announced due to an unforeseen shortage they will be rationing sugar on their ships until further notice. "We just don't know where it all went" < G R I N> said a spokesman for the line.
In related news NCL announced a new towing a service ... "We thought we would give the other guys a rope to hang themselves."
It's getting bad out there.
I hope CCL is issuing rain slickers to all their executives because the passengers are going to know what to do with the gotten tomatoes now. I think it is time to start checking those maintenance logs.

I got one too.
I was defending them at first, but now it looks like there are some major issues. Either shoddy maintenance, or a group in the engineering department is on RCI's payroll....
Watch the video if possible. I could have sworn that I saw the CEO of RCL.(Goldstein) see if you agree.
