Been on cruises, not my cup of tea by any means. Here is something I don't understand though.

Why is it that the people are forced to stay on the ship on unsanitary conditions and with minimal food and water?

Why have these people not been evacuated by the plethora of lifeboats on board? At the least the elderly, those with children, and ones with greater health risks should be evacuated.

I have a good friend in the travel industry and for sure Carnival is the trailer park of the cruise ship industry but still, can't they do better than this? I mean they are responsible for taking care of their passengers and it amazes me that there are not better systems in place to avert this kind of disaster.

I know that logistically it is not simple but that does not mean plans and solutions cannot be implemented.

Anyway, my .02 and God bless all the people on board and I wish them all a safe return. I am sure many will never step foot on a cruise ship again, even with the refund and free cruise they are all being offered.
