Letter from Gerry Cahill

[blondietink]

Got our email letter today!

[cruzn buckeye]

I have been on 24 cruises, did not get the letter, but that is okay. I watched him on tv when he was in Mobile, and see him as being very sincere. I am sure he felt for the passengers and crew that went through this.

[deborahjo]

We just got letter yesterday. Must be being sent out in shifts.

[bar1068]

Kinda goofy. My wife received the email on 2/18....then I received it on 2/21...go figure.

[loujerb]

Got mine yesterday, never been on :) CCL, booked on 4/22/13 cruise on the Triumph.

[pe4all]

Still no one out of 4 of us got the letter. I feel unloved!:p:D

Did that email mention that CCL will reimburse the U.S. govt for costs incurred escorting the Triumph and sending helicopters with supplies?

Reimburse for what, that's what our gov't does in any disaster?

What about incidents like pooping in red bags?

 

I wonder what would have happened if a Costa ship caught the end of Long Island.

So anytime the US Coast Guard helps out in an emergency you want them to be paid for it? They are a branch of our military. That is their job.

Both my husband and myself had our emails a few days ago. We have only sailed once before with Carnival although our second is booked for this October.

I'm so sad to report that I didn't get the e-mail that we're sticking with our plan to cruise like a Norwegian this year!:D

Not sure why you're raising this in this thread.

 

In any case, USCG is a public service and should not seek reimbursement... unless, the investigation finds there gross was negligence involved. Otherwise, it is part of their mission to protect life at sea.

It really is quite simple. CCL's foreign flagging of ships allows them to avoid paying the U.S. taxes. When their ships crap out, it costs the U.S. taxpayer. It has happened twice.

Now, there is nothing stopping CCL from sending the U.S. Treasury a check for reimbursement.

If CCL wants to say it is sorry, they should send a check to the U.S. Treasury, not a mass email which is not even worth a postage stamp.

Next time one of their ships take a dump, let the Mexican govt take care of it (it was in their waters) and if that's not enough, send out a call for additional assistance from their friends in the Bahamas.

The ship was in international waters, not the Mexican waters. Three miles from shore is where international waters begin. They were 150 miles out from land. Just saying.

[Pellaz]

Absolutely. Since she was in international waters, the UN should have responded with tugs and assistance.

 

In THAT version of reality, after two weeks of heated debate in the General Assembly and grudging approval by the Security Council, the tugs would be getting to Carnival Triumph.....right about now. ;) :rolleyes:

True, and they might. It would be a kind gesture, but it's not necessary.

A Mexican tug DID respond.

STILL no letter from Gerry. If I don't get one, I shall be, in the words of Prince Humperdink in The Princess Bride, Very Put Out. :)

[deborahjo]

Big difference between Mexican waters and international waters like said above. The Triumph was in the later so it was a CC issue.

[ILUVCRUIZN]

Just cruised 2 weeks ago and have not received an email. :confused:

 

I have already gotten like 5 survey's though since we have been back. They have my email address for the survey's but not the letter. :rolleyes:

[linbobky]

we have been on 12 carnival cruises and havn't received a survey yet. but, i have already read it here.:)
