I went on a four day cruise on this same ship last year, Actually watched game of the century 1 while on this cruise. The ship was dated, but it was very clean and overall a lot of fun. Actually recommended this trip to friends and family. Haha

Mobile does not allow ships in to their port at night? CNN reports.

Based off of what I've seen of Carnival rates probably 3 rooms for $75.00.
I meant how valuable was it to be able have a little private area to go sleep on for fresh air and not have to share it with the unwashed masses.

At this moment 38 more miles to go. Not a lot of room for error. Only 400' of channel when entering port.

I would be calling a charter fishing boat captain to pull up next to the cruise ship and I would take my chances on jumping at this point.

I said it in the other thread. If I would have been on that ship. A life boat would be missing by now. They are close enough to drive one of them bitches right up to the FloraBama

Too bad you didn't buy it for them. Getting a refund and a free cruise later.

Probably not normally. That would suck to be in Mobile bay for the night. If they knew anything about the bay, they would just need to be able to swim out of the channel. After that they could probably just walk to shore.

Carnival people say Mobile airports can't handle all the charter flights. Mobile airport people are calling bull shite. I get the impression Carnival just sucks at everything.
Brookley was a fricking airforce base. And the Bates has PLENTY of room, even for 20 737's

I'm friends with a couple of bar pilots. They bring ships in 24/7. Crippled 900ft ships with 4000+ people on them under tow, may be different though.

Apparently not. Safety issues at hand apparently with the size of their channel.

I'm not up to date on this story. Other than toilets overflowing, what's the deal? Why is this ship having trouble?
