Holidaymakers on a luxury cruise liner were plunged into a nightmare when a fire knocked out power, leaving the vessel floating in the Gulf of Mexico. The 2013 journey turned to chaos as the blaze damaged electrical cables that powered the entire ship, resulting in a loss of propulsion, lighting, air conditioning, and even functioning toilets. The ordeal faced by passengers aboard the Carnival Triumph is now the focus of a new Netflix documentary released yesterday (June 24), titled Trainwreck: Poop Cruise, reports Surrey Live . The documentary’s synopsis hints at the grim conditions: “Soon raw sewage leaks out all over the ship, food supplies start dwindling and passengers begin to revolt. As the cruise company races to control the fallout, a media frenzy ensues. Soon everyone is talking about ‘The Poop Cruise’.” Those captivated by the harrowing tale may wonder what happened to the ship featured in the documentary, and some might even wonder whether you can still book a cruise on the doomed vessel. In line with the practice for luxury liners, the Carnival Triumph underwent significant refurbishment and was rebranded as the Carnival Sunrise in 2019. The cruise ship is still in operation, mainly covering The Bahamas and the Caribbean, and boasts a busy schedule for the year. This includes a four-day Bahamas trip from Miami this November. An indoor cabin on this voyage costs around $284 per person, while those wishing to indulge can opt for a luxury suite at up to $836. TripAdvisor reviews reveal recent guests’ impressions, with one writing: “For an older ship, it’s still a lot of fun – just temper your expectations. We stayed in a balcony cabin on deck 8. Yes, the bathroom looks outdated with its bright blue sink and shower curtain – but it’s part of the charm.” Another guest said: “I loved every minute of being on the ship. The food and shows were amazing… It was everything I wanted and more!”. In the wake of the Carnival Triumph fire and subsequent issues, Gerry Cahill, then-president and CEO of Carnival Cruise Lines, assured customers that such an incident would “not happen again” as an investigation into the fire’s cause was underway. Carnival provided a response to Surrey Live’s Screen Time team, stating: “The Carnival Triumph incident over 12 years ago was a teachable moment for the entire cruise industry. “A thorough investigation following the incident revealed a design vulnerability which was corrected and led Carnival Cruise Line to invest more than $500 million across our entire fleet in comprehensive fire prevention and suppression, improved redundancy, and enhanced management systems, all in support of our commitment to robust safety standards. “This is in addition to our vigorous Health, Environmental, Safety and Security (HESS) protocols that guide the entire Carnival Corporation fleet as we maintain our commitment to industry leadership in this area. “We are proud of the fact that since 2013 over 53 million guests have enjoyed safe and memorable vacations with us, and we will continue to operate to these high standards.” Trainwreck: Poop Cruise is now available to stream on Netflix
