Whiny passengers on cruise ship

How would the passengers from the cruise ship which lost power for several days have survived on the long sea voyages endured by those who settled our country, and even worse for those brought here as slaves. There is no doubt that some, maybe many, of these passengers, who can afford a luxury cruise, are the kind who say of the poor in our country that they have it great because they are better off than the poor in some other countries. But they themselves can't take a few days of inconvenience.

Haven't noticed anybody ask what God was trying to send. Maybe that if they have enough time and money to go on a cruise, they should be doing something for those less fortunate and for future generations. I recognize that probably some of the passengers are good people, just taking a dream vacation.

Feb 15 (Reuters) - A passenger from the stricken Triumph cruise ship sued Carnival Corp on Friday over "horrifying" conditions, including being forced to wade through human feces from overflowing toilets after power was knocked out by a fire.

The lawsuit by Cassie Terry of Brazoria County, Texas, alleged Carnival failed to provide a seaworthy vessel and sanitary conditions, according to court documents.

Terry suffered physical and emotional harm, including anxiety, nervousness and the loss of the enjoyment of life, according to the complaint filed in federal court in Miami.
