As I watched the evening news, I think how different things are for the people trapped on Carnival's Triumph. Not very triumphant. I don't understand, we stood for 30 minutes in a mandatory safety meeting. It was held in front of the very lifeboats that would be lowered if the ship became crippled. I am guessing that they are reserved for sinking.
I know they would not be of use for this situation, but the have what they call tenders that are used to transport passengers to port when the ship cannot dock at land. They are 30 miles out of Mobile. The estimated time to land sometime between nine and midnight tonight and then another 4-5 hours to disembark.
The cruise I just ended was on a Carnival ship. They obviously are not prepared for emergencies. I should not be surprised as they did not even have an eye repair kit to fix Wade's glasses.
