big_duck Posted April 3, 2013 #101 Share Posted April 3, 2013 The reporter is right. This may not be CCL's fault, it may not be the fault of anyone but Mother Nature, but this is certainly a PR problem for CCL. Agreed. Gerry Cahill must immediately announce they will not rename the Destiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston Bill Posted April 3, 2013 #103 Share Posted April 3, 2013 He meant to say John Heald was on the board and the ship shifted ... as a fat man myself I find that joke to be in very bad taste. Please return to the school yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WetToes Posted April 3, 2013 #104 Share Posted April 3, 2013 100% correct ehlf !! If a Carnival ship was to [God forbid] hit an iceberg and sink, the Carnival cheerleaders on this board would blame the iceberg. Again ... with the overused, boring, repetitious, "cheerleaders" comment. Ho hum. snooze ... :rolleyes: I'm no "cheerleader". Just don't get how this is Carnival's fault, and how anyone with half a brain can insinuate that it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icat2000 Posted April 3, 2013 #105 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Wouldn't be surprised it the ship is renamed and sent down to PO Australia as the Pacific Opal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winddawn Posted April 3, 2013 #107 Share Posted April 3, 2013 There sure are a lot of nasty comments posted here. It is reported that one crew member was thrown from the ship and is missing. May I please suggest that you put aside the snide remarks for a little while and say a prayer for this missing crew member and his family? My goodness. Thank you.

PurpleDog Posted April 3, 2013 #109 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Again ... with the overused, boring, repetitious, "cheerleaders" comment. Ho hum. snooze ... :rolleyes:I'm no "cheerleader". Just don't get how this is Carnival's fault, and how anyone with half a brain can insinuate that it is. It's repetitious because sh*t keeps happening to Carnival ships !

imnance Posted April 3, 2013 #110 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Just don't get how this is Carnival's fault, and how anyone with half a brain can insinuate that it is. I don't know all the facts, but I highly doubt that this IS CCL"s fault. Informed people will know this, however, most cruisers are not as informed as folks at CC. Not being CCL's fault doesn't mean it's not CCL's problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geocruiser Posted April 3, 2013 #112 Share Posted April 3, 2013 What I want to know did any one who was in charge of the ship know the weather forecast? A cruise ship has a big wind profile. Therefore, it would /should be tied up right. I would think this is not the first time a cruise ship has been docked with high winds blowing. I pray that the missing man is found alive and well.

Big_G Posted April 3, 2013 #117 Share Posted April 3, 2013 There is a high probability that this is not Carnival's fault but it really doesn't matter. Perception is reality and the perception to the average person is that Carnival has problems. That doesn't bode well for Carnival's image. ...and for those of you who think the price cuts will be great, they'll have to make up that revenue somewhere or make cuts in amenities or both.

big_duck Posted April 3, 2013 #120 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Not really. Ships get gashes like that all the time. As long as there is no damage to the underlying structure, they just cut out the steel and weld in a new piece. It is however right on a corner so there may be bigger problems underneath.

Tonka's Skipper Posted April 3, 2013 #121 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Most know I am not a fan of Carnival! However in this case its NOT Carnivals fault. When in the shipyard, the vessel's safety is the responsibility of the shipyard, including keeping the vessel alongside the pier. That's about a $250,000 hole! A prayer for the missing man overboard.
