Krookie Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Well, today I was supposed to be sailing to the Carribean with my family, unfortunatly...THIS happend: http://www.abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=2210556 Now, because the ship had to spend 2 days 'recovering' in Florida, my family and I will leave on Saturday, and get a 50% refund.

LadyCrimson Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 At least they're giving a partial refund. And you still get to go to the Carribean. Bummer about losing a couple days tho. “Things are as they are.

alanschu Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 At least it didn't happen while you were on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveThaiBinh Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 (edited) Exactly. Kind of a lucky escape, maybe? The article says the ship was already tilting when it left port. What could have caused this, but wouldn't have immediately signalled the need to stay in dry dock? Edited July 21, 2006 by SteveThaiBinh "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."

metadigital Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 At least it didn't happen while you were on it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That was my first thought. Actually, myfirst thought was I hope that neither of those two passengers were either of your parents.

Darth Hades Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 When I first heard this story it was only a 15 degree tilt, now its a 30 degree tilt? Not one damn person on the boat or reporting the news took geometry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepixiesrock Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Yeah, because if they had taken a geometry class, they would have been able to tell the exact degree that it tilted while they were on the ship.

metadigital Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Powerful men often think it is their right to have a mistress in addition to "number one wife". I'm thinking particularly of one who had two complete families (wives and children) completely ignorant of each other. (Getty?)
