And I'm sure, Carnival in its drive to the bottom line wisdom told them to ignore the Cat 5 hurricane 200 miles away that was generating 120ft open sea waves heading straight for that island generating heavy rip currents (aint the same kind of rip current on an Island that you get on South Beach, no sir) because more than likely fat Americans would fucking complain if they couldn't swim because they paid "good money" to be there.

I have been on one of these Carnival Chicken Wing ships (most disgusting thing I've ever done) and there's a reason I call them Chicken Wing specials and it's not even close to racism so don't go there. Go on one yourself and you'll find out (or save your money and your sanity and take my word for it) I've also been to that another Island they had (2nd most disgusting thing I've ever done) and Carnival will throw a Scuba tank on your back and toss you overboard with 2 hours of training (I was in the past a trained recue diver, deep water diver and cave diver). It blew my fucking mind. I presented my credentials then was asked by the guys on the boat if I'd help with any rescues, of which their were 4 and 1 of them we resuscitated all the way back to the dock when the EMT's took over!!! I shit you not!! I got very very drunk that night. Have no clue to this day if the person made it.

I am in no way being insensitive to the people or the families of, that had this misfortune happen upon them. But I'm also the type of person that doesn't really feel sorry for anyone who are going to travel out of their element without being prepared for what may come across wherever your destination may be. If your from Iowa and want to swim in the ocean, drive over to the Mississippi and learn what currents are all about.
Rant off. Sorry I despise that company, the way they treat (at least when I was forced to go by my wife at the time 20 years ago) their employees, their complete and total disregard for even the simplest kinds of passenger safety and for LETTING PEOPLE BREATHE COMPRESSED AIR AT DEPTH WITHOUT CREDENTIALS!!
