Conditions On Carnival Triumph

(It's like the ghost of the Titanic.)

The Carnival Triumph is a ship that's been sailing since 1999, yep this ship was new when Britney Spears was.  The ship was stalled in the middle of the ocean on Feb 10th after an engine room fire caused complete loss of power and propulsion.  

Passengers on the ship have now been stranded at sea for three days.  The employees at the concierge desk have issued a white flag to the passengers aborad the ship saying quote, "We're sorry, but we have no more rooms to upgrade you to."  

We've heard reports that passengers have been forced to eat onion sandwiches due to the lack of food.  Two thoughts:
  1. Why wouldn't you just eat bread instead of eating bread that makes you cry.
  2. I bet you're thinking twice about that 5th burger you had the other day.
3 days without power and minimal food have proven to be to much for many passengers, with many upset that they were not able to charge their phones.   Passengers have also been asked to use the toilet as little as possible.  The crew has now changed its opinion of men peeing over the side from, "This will not be tolerated," to, "You've been eating onion sandwiches for a day and a half, go for it!"

The ship should dock later on today in Alabama, where it will most likely be converted into a Dixie Stampede.
