Coach B is correct. Story is blown way out of proportion by media. I was on the Carnival Cruise Elation that was stranded in the Pacific a couple years ago. Very similar situation yet we were drifting way out to sea. We relied on airlifted supplies from the USS Ronald Reagan. You don't bob like a cork, you list a bit( had sea legs for over a week ). Bathrooms overflowed but mainly on the lower cabins. They worked their ass off to get sanitation working and was able to. Problem is 4000 people who don't shower in an enclosed area. Body funk is the worst. As for the food, big deal it is cold and you have to feed 4000 people. Oh and by the way, food is located at the bottom of the ship in one location. Man power had to move all supplies to serving location. Trust me, the Triumph learned from the emergency on the Elation. My advise, ALWAYS get a balcony room.
Either way, it can't be a Fun thing...
and Yes, a Balcony is a Must ! all the BS I hear about only using your room to sleep...so who cares about a Balcony..
It's so much better with a balcony...You can just hang out there... eat Breakfast... Fresh Sea Air Great for you.
I also never get a room below the 8th Floor... that way I'm only a couple of Floors below the Pool Deck... and only a few floors from the Dining room.
Over the last four days Triumph passengers had described an overpowering stench on parts of the ship. After the fire, toilets and drainpipes overflowed, soaking many cabins and interior passages in sewage.
"Just imagine the filth," said a passenger, Jacob Combs. "It was inhuman."During the drama at sea passengers contacted relatives and media before their phone batteries ran out to say people were getting sick and passengers had been told to use plastic biohazard bags as makeshift toilets.
Smoke from the engine fire was so thick that people on the lower decks in the rear of the ship had to be permanently evacuated and slept the rest of the voyage on the decks under sheets, passengers said.
