    This is the reason I never want to do cruises because of these scary situations!

      The thing is we tend to think that cruise ships are seaworthy given their size, but any ship can become unstable in a severe storm.

    going directly into the storm is the safest thing for a ship to do if they cant avoid it, the same as taking a wave head on is safer and less destructive than being hit on the side

    I’m confused… Did the ship have to go into Charleston during the storm? Could they not have waited or went a different direction??? Passenger safety is more important than a timeline! 🙄

    Carnival prioritized money over safety and need to be held accountable for that.

    Carnival corporate made the decision to risk the lives of their 3000 passengers & hundreds of crew to save money. They always do. They dodged a bullet this time. Someday they will not be so lucky.

    Every cabin in the ship have life jackets in it. So whoever is saying did not get the life jacket,they should listen to safety briefing that most people ignore.

      Of course, they should have stayed either in the Bahamas or far out to sea. There was no excuse for risking all those lives.

    I can think of the state the ship was in after that. Head out again right away with no clean up?!
    Or even see if the ship was seaworthy? IDK, the Carnival ships are impressive. But I don't think any of them are safe.
    Too big, too many people aboard. God forbid something worse than this might happen. The other Carnival brand.

    Fear mongering. Crew with life jackets? Its probably standard procedure for just in case emergency, while talk like that creates panic. The media is to blame.

    Some of the comments in here are unbelievable. You're at sea. Storms will happen and winds are unexpected. The ships are designed to stand up to harsh weather. That doesn't mean it'll be a ride where you won't feel the waves or rocking if the boat. If you're coming during hurricane season, you should know this and even if you aren't, you should be expecting this. Complaining and crying about it isn't going to stop a storm. Put your big girl panties on and make the best of it. God, this country has turned soft. 🤦‍♂️

    It's not Carnival's fault mother nature dishes out bad weather. I love cruising but like anything, whatever you do you always take chances (flying on an airline, riding in a car, or even crossing the street).

      Unless you were there, and experienced what we experienced, you really have no right to comment. The captain sailed us directly into a violent storm, then failed to give us any update for 12 hours. Then Carnival took down the TV channel that broadcasts the wind speed (which was over 70+ knots) and later took down the internet so we could not communicate with the outside world, while they did damage control. I am grateful I didn't die, but this incident must be investigated to protect passengers in the future. Cruise companies cannot prioritize money over safety, period.
