Thx, Pete. Sad to hear that, but I'm sure all crew members don't get along in their little world on cruise ships.

 

Now just wait for the headlines and all the 'news' shows -

 

"MURDER ON A CARNIVAL SHIP!".....since Carnival owns Cunard, it will happen. They seem to love saying 'another tragedy on a CARNIVAL cruise ship.':(

Carnival Corp, not Carnival cruise line.

 

Princess is a division of Carnival Corp that manages both Cunard and Holland America, so Murder on a Princess ship would be more accurate.

 

As for the Filipinos, they would probably prefer being on the ship at the moment, since typhoon Chanchu is battering their island. At least 24 dead.

Zy - how soon we forget.:rolleyes:

 

Remember the Costa Magica? What did they say on all those nighttime shows ...? "A Carnival Cruise Line ship."

 

They rarely make the distinction from Carnival CORPORATION. All the non-cruising public hears is the word Carnival.

From our observations many behind the scenes crewmen are Filipino. Another observation: no one drives a tender as well as a Filipino.

Murder. Typhoon. I think I better lock myself in the storm cellar with a bottle of Donna Fugata wine!
