The vice-principal of the Sewol Ferry highschoolers, committed suicide after the accident. In his note, he asked that he be cremated and his ashes spread over the site of the accident, so that he could be a teacher in heaven for all the lost students. Really sad shit.
@@lil.dogbytewell I'm guessing it's just the US where teachers are treated like shit, paid poorly, heavily restricted in what facts they can teach, and considered daycare employees. Teachers elsewhere probably love their job and seeing their students succeed thanks to their guidence.
@@BFTBGSFTSTnot true. I knew at least one teacher I had my first semester of high school that absolutely loved being a teacher. He was a brain surgeon among other high paying jobs (I can't remember them since it's been so long and he only talked about it on rare occasions), and he said being a teacher was his favorite. He just wanted to help the young and upcoming generations grow, and he thrived off of our success. He was more proud of us than any of our parents honestly. Unfortunately, he spent time in Africa when he was 18, contracted malaria, and he suffered from seizures for the rest of his life. He died in 2020 from the effects of malaria. He was only 42 I believe. Rip Mr. Lilly, tell me how you feel!
Monster is probably the best term. Dude went to a brothel that more than likely had all sex trafficked women and wouldn't report because it was a "no-no" as a member of navy personnel in the rulebook.However, the navy knows guys are going to dip their wicks off shore in port of call through less than legal means. I have never understood the mentality of not reporting criminality in the military. Generally, no matter where you are they will overlook whatever minor thing you did to get at the greater crime at hand.
The sad truth is once people get kidnapped and sold into human trafficking/prostitution, they get so ridiculously and hardcore brainwashed that they can't even remember their prior life or their birth name and they know if they attempt to reach out for help, they will face Dire consequences. It's a devasting humanitarian crisis that's been around for ages, yet nothing has ever been done about it.
The Sewol situation is pure greed and negligence . they had no cars tied down, wouldn't let people help. The captain/crew were some of the first to get rescued, the USA navy were close enough to help but were told not to. Parents were told not to get involved. Just awful.
My friend who works on a cruise ship told me that when someone is reported as having fallen overboard, the ship will slow down and do a figure eight pattern in the water to search for the person, but only for an hour. He wouldn’t tell me how many times it has happened while he was on board, but of the times they did stop and search, they never found anyone.
That's because the sharks ate them! It takes a mile for the ship to turn around. So they don't! They call search & rescue & give the coordinates of where the person fell off. So they either get hypothermia or eaten by 🦈 sharks!
@@cathypruente-cole9312sharks don’t eat people though. They might bite when the person looks like an animal they do eat… but as soon as they realise it isn’t the snack they want they just don’t eat them. Doesn’t mean the people don’t die from blood loss or hypothermia… it get pulled away by the water movement etc. People who get lost as sea usually ARE lost at sea and the possibility of finding them again is low as in VERY low. That’s why killing someone on a cruise and pushing them in is actually a "solid" idea as long as you don’t have witnesses or a camera.
@@cathypruente-cole9312 The sharks idea is not likely. Sharks don't just randomly attack and eat people very commonly. It's very rare and most of the time, sharks highly prefer fish over any mammal. Any time they do bite a person, it's usually out of curiosity as to how they taste, and it turns out, they don't like it. The bite doesn't usually do people in, it's the bacteria in the shark's mouth that creates infections.
@@qalbi_ibn_lari Read about all the shark attacks that happened in the Pacific in WW2. The most famous being the attack on the crew of the USS Indianapolis which was sunk by a Japanese submarine.
The amount of disappearances that happen on cruise ships like there are so many true crime cases of people who are taken and trafficked, is absolutely horrifying.
I believe the reason why there are so many reported deaths on cruise ships is because there is a large amount of senior citizens who “live” out on the cruise ships. Some end up using cruise lines as a strange form of hospice
People have been doing it for awhile, because of how bad senior care is, it can actually be cheaper to just book cruises instead of paying for actual assisted living or hospice.
The poo rivers flowing in the floors is a very common occurrence on navy ships. Can tell you how many times I've woken up, got out of my rack, and bam! I'm up to my ankles in poopy piss-water.
The Sewol Ferry disaster was a national tragedy for Koreans. We witnessed video evidence of the captain running away first and foremost. He and a couple crew told those kids to stay in their cabins, knowing they would die. A couple (to be married) who were workers and a 19 year old cook rescued some of the children and kept fighting to save as many as they could before they went back in and drowned, trying to rescue more. Students who did survive (very few did) recalled telling the young cook to put on a life vest and to get out herself. She was said to have said "I will be okay. It is my job to make sure all of you get out before me. Just one more. I promise. I will save just 1 more and then 1 more and then 1 more after that." They became posthumously rewarded and regarded as the heroes of the Sewol Ferry Disaster. The students were on a field trip and were supposed to be on a different ship but they were switched last minute after arrival of the students. They were finding bodies for months. Some of students hugging their best friends etc... a father who's daughters body hadn't been found yet famously starved himself and refused to eat until his daughter was found. This is one of the saddest things in our history that caused such an uproar for years. Still remember when it happened. God bless the heroes that gave their lives to save who they could, and damn that captain to Hell. He also tried to appeal and they were like lol nah. But they reduced the sentences of some of the crew that fled because some of the crew were literally brand new and had no idea what was going on.
I didn't hear anything about this in the states, that is fucking terrible. Did that captain ever get arrested? Edit: Nvm, read this befor getting to that part
I actually learned about this for the first time 2 nights ago what a damn tragedy. People were so upset with the government the coast guard was completely disbanded. Fuck that Captian, its one thing being a total coward, another thing entirely to tell the kids to stay in their rooms, I would have been like "FUCK THAT" I need access to the ocean, not a fucking coffin. Absolutely heart wrenching to look at some of those texts the kids were sending to their parents.
It was also all over the news in Germany and I was so shocked at the time that I burst into tears. So many lives lost just because of these despicable people. I remember some time later there was a review of the events where a few relatives read out the last messages from their children. It was just heartbreaking.
I've actually been on the shit ship. They renamed it and sold the tickets for dirt cheap. My mom saw the price right after tax returns hit. So she bought us all tickets as a surprise, and you're correct. Every now and then you'd catch a whiff of poo while walking around
Holy cow, I did not know anything about the SA rates on cruise ships! I was wandering around a royal Caribbean ship at 1 AM by myself as a 18 yo girl. I’m usually very careful about where I go alone but I guess I just assumed there would be security all around those ships to protect me. Dear god I was not safe at all! yuck yuck yuck 🤮
Well put it this way out of millions of people According to the FBI, 131 sexual assault cases were reported to the FBI in 2023, including rape, on ships that embark and disembark in the United States. This is an increase from 87 in 2022 and 101 in 2019. The FBI also notes that sexual assault is the top reported and investigated crime at sea. The US Department of Transportation says that 79% of all crimes reported onboard cruise ships are sexual assaults. 12 million people go on cruise ships a year so... its really realllllyy unlikely
It seems especially crazy to me that only 2 companies account for 70% of SA cases! Seems like they need to be investigated and forced to make some changes.
The Sewol ferry disaster is so tragic. I watched some of the videos filmed by the students on board while they were waiting. They were all so young. They were joking around, they thought they'd be saved, they thought it was all going to be fine because they were all told to stay calm and in their rooms. And now theyre all dead. Many children had broken fingers and hands from trying to break the windows etc. later on. It always gives me shivers and always makes me so incredibly angry and sad because they had HOURS to save them. They could've all survived.
The one about the girl who wound up in in a brothel shook me to my core and it is vile and appalling and I cannot believe that there are human beings who will not only commit things like this but just let it happen
Families will know their kids were molested or raped by another family member and force them to pretend nothing happened. Id argue over half of the people on this earth would put themselves/their careers over other human lives in any given situation.
@@cmen6895I mean, humans ARE humans worst enemy so... I doubt the guess about numbers but agree with a mindset that can potentially expect some of the depths of depravity a human can inflict upon another on a whim.
The sewol tragedy is so heartbreaking. 16 year olds tying themselves to each other to not be separated. To this day the stories of the survivors and how they had to see their classmates die truly gets to me. I was their age and i just couldn't imagine going through what they went through.
@@Monkforilla it happened in 2014, the sudents were high school age around 16-17 korean age which would make them 14-15 international age. I was born in 1999 so yeah i was around their age.
@@Subbedhunter yeah it has been outlawed i think, but basically when they are born they are 1 year old already but there is another rule that has to do with the lunar year calendar or something but tbh you might want to google it bc i didn't explain it well.
If you ever get left behind by a cruise ship, do NOT take help from the first person that rushes up to you immediately after. There are rings that will wait for cruises to depart literally hoping some young thing got abandoned and comes crying to them for help. But in reality, just don't go on cruises.
@@mannemahakasmental health isn’t something to play with and his fans or followers are signing up and putting their trust in people who shouldn’t be trusted

Hospital pharmacist here: promethazine IV push is a one way ticket to severe (necrosis) tissue injury. We either dilute it SIGNIFICANTLY prior to giving it as an IV drip or give it deep IM. Have educated docs on this myself so I’m not surprised to hear a young cruise ship doc made this mistake.
The way you make it sound, I'm surprised they would even carry or be equipped with such a medication. Is it common for this to be available to people or company's outside a hospital setting? Is promethazine IV common to use after it's dilution, or would it be more of a down the line solution if needed?
Would a simple Internet search or check the label on the meds to prevent this? If you're not sure, just consult someone! We had a medical technician on an LNG ship I was on, and he talked via radio to the doctor on land! There are predetermined steps what to do in cases like that! And if the situation requires, the ship HAS to make a detour to a closest port or call a helicopter in the worst situation! But a lot depends on a company, and many choose to sail under flags of countries that have poor security codes! The only solution is banning passage and docking in regulated countries, but if there's no global consensus, this will keep happening
Not only that but it's in pill form specifically for nausea. Had it prescribed before for that very reason, and learned about the risks of the other forms of administration in my undergraduate psychopharmacology class. That doctor was a hack
*The Sewol Ferry in South Korea wasn't a cruise* but it shipped cars and ppl to and from islands. The kids were HSers going on an end of year trip to an island near Jeju Island (theyre super big tourist destinations). The ferry went over capacity to make more money. The crew didnt announce to the passengers they were sinking, they alerted coast guard and told the kids to stay put than abandoned the ship telling the CG there was no one else on board. The Blue House (SKs White house) wouldnt let divers enter the water until a LONG time after the ferry went down, thats why fishing boats came to save the kids and teachers. The Coast Guard rescue workers were joking and eating while the parents cried and begged for news of their children. The parents even tried to dive into the water or steal boats to save their kids. It was so sad. The President of SK ended up resigning from the backlash as well as other officials after the tragedy along with the many arrests. Even sadder, U.S. marines with many experienced divers were nearby on ships from Japanese bases and were willing and ready to help, but South Korea refused to let them into SK waters. Many kids were pulled from the wreckage still clinging to each other, kids called their parents saying goodbye (1 boys begged his parents to never let his brother go on a school trip) and teachers sacrificed themselves to give kids their spots on boats. Many of the divers that went in after it sunk fully got PTSD or injured from how the unsafe working conditions. Theres a lot of accounts of kids screaming and banging on the ferry begging to get the Coast Guard ships closer to rescue them, and they just watched them drown. To this day, parents haven't gotten a clear answer on the full account of details of what happened to their children. The parents recently had a hunger strike outside a government office to protest the lack of transparency and streamers (known as nuisance streamers in Asia, people who are mean in public for fun and record it) went and filmed themselves eating in front of the parents while they were hunger striking. Some parents still have no bodies to bury or info on their child. Its heart breaking. (Edit: dyslexia)
on a side note, this explains how it was over double its weight capacity from 800 to over 2000 tons of cargo. i dont think people alone can do those numbers on a boat, but adding other vehicles into the equation is a different story
@@disposable_income_andy You're a smart cookie; transport of cars is how most these ferry's make most their money so they would go over legal capacity. Cars would be put over safety lines and held in by weak link chains. the ferry tipped cause they didn't have enough water in the bow to evenly distribute the beyond maxed out weight capacity, which is what caused the listing. (Tipping to a side)
It's unimaginable that people would be so cruel towards other human beings. To just watch children die while there are so many people ready and willing to help save them and they just forbid them from doing so. The civillians that did go out and tried to save them are actual heroes
i watched a diff youtuber about that and it was just so sad, it affected me more deeply than i thought about which doubles my efforts to never be on a boat
I'm surprised he didn't get to the more gruesome details about the Sewell incident. Some details below: 1) South Korean government told families of the children that they were safe, despite the parents being on the phones with their children as they drown. (SK Coast Guard had since been disbanded and rebuilt from the ground up). 2) SK Coast Guard just stood on their boats, watching as teenagers banged on the windows, asking them to help get them out. 3) A US Carrier was in the area. SK Coast Guard refused to allow the US to assist in recovery efforts 4) A boy and girl's body were found tied together at the wrist. It was confirmed they were dating and had decided to tie their wrists so they wouldn't be separated even in death. 5) One student recorded his will as a joke. One the phone was returned to his father, the father felt it was important people knew what happened. (two students running by hand in hand in terror in the background may be the couple from number 4.) 6) A small child survived when the rest of her family couldn't get out alive. She was bullied through the reset of her education for that. 7)SK Coast Guard finally approved divers to go in to look for potential survivors in air pockets. The divers called off the dive as SK Coast Guard members kept trying to mess with their equipment to pose for pictures, making the dive unsafe. The SK Coast Guard was clearly more interested in publicity than the lives of children. 8) The owner of the ferry, when he was found, he was dressed like a hobo. It's believed that he felt so guilty for the deaths of the kids that he abandoned his fortunes and lived in destitution until he died. 9) The politicians that tried to cover up the tragedy were ultimately pardoned. The next president of SK was able to get his votes by promising to pardon the former SK president. One final note: The school the teens attended had a new school built. It was decided that the old school building would be turned into a memorial. The locations where each deceased student(teacher) sat features a student's(or teacher's) desk with the picture of the deceased, as well as several personal items donated by the families. When visiting, it's said you can hear a pin drop because it's so quiet. One of the few students to survive has since become a politician, hoping to correct much of the government's corruption that lead to the death of so many.
I adore Korean culture and its people and this is honestly devastating to hear. Thank you for sharing so that we don’t forget the lives lost and the idiocy of those who were supposed to help.
the sewol cruise ship story was truly inspiring for me. The various stories of the highschool boys sacrifcing themselves to call for help instead of their families before the cruiseship sinking and prioritizing the women, children, and elderly to vacate before them. It brings me to tears, but I feel prideful for them, like I want to honor or salute them.
For people who go overboard, it's got to be especially scary because those ships move extremely fast. I couldn't imagine being stuck in the icy abyss, watching my only salvation disappear over the horizon leaving silence and dread as my only companions during my final moments alive. I have never been on a cruise and will never go on a cruise. It started as a financial thing because I would never pay that kind of money for a psuedo-vacation. As I get older, I become more confident in my decision to not go on cruises because of all the reasons Hunter went over in this video. That and it just seems like a miserable time stuck in the middle of a terrifying void, surrounded by drunks and with nothing to do.
Cruises are actually fantastic. They are a great value for the money spent and amenities offered, far cheaper than a week at a resort of similar quality.
being an introverted kid on a cruise ship was so much stress, yeah I got to see some nice places, but so many hours just doing nothing in my room hiding, looking off into sea. I remember one night the waves were so bad they closed areas where alot of things were moving around, watched a performance that night where the performers could barely stand, and I remember some girl threw up and it just watching it swish back and forth across the floor for 15 minutes while waiting for the restaurant to reopen. Saw some nice places but never will get over the fear of the practice evacuation, the nothingness in the distance, people running down the halls at night, and fear of the ship leaving while we were exploring. I think the worst was where we had to spend numerous days at sea and I was bored out of my mind, hadn't seen land for days, was getting kind of claustrophobic.
Wats funny cus as another introvert I think I’d love to just chill in my room and watch the sea lol Course I’d prolly be tipsy vibing to music could see ya not having fun as a kid tho
Looking out into the sea is especially the reason I enjoy cruises. Just like flying, it's nowhere near as dangerous as people portray it. You won't fall overboard if you're not a bumbling idiot or absolutely plastered. Everything thing else in your worries is genuinely just overthinking and not relaxing. Which I understand, I've got awful anxiety but just chilling on my balcony looking into the sea is so tranquil.
@@Dovahkiin0117tbh same, but I didn't have video games when I was that young, I just relied on playing with my sister for entertainment who was unfortunately an extrovert and was busy playing with friends she made on the cruise lol
I remember reading an article a while back explaining the high death rate on cruises because of all the seniors. It can cost less than a nursing home so a large amount of old people do back to back cruises until they die.
Hearing and reading some of the students’ final words before drowning is some of the most haunting sh*t ever. Imagine losing your child like this, knowing it could have been prevented :(
There are some details I omitted to keep it short. I know someone who went on a cruise. He is a diabetic, and didn't watch his sugar. He kept getting beer (when the family told the servers to not give him any more) and went into a diabetic coma. The ship didn't have the medical knowledge/equipment/or whatever, to handle it (charged them $4,000 for 1 hour in their medical bay.) Then dropped him off in Colombia to the the nearest hospital, and continued the cruise leaving him there. The crew would not let the family leave the ship. It took several days back to the States, and the hospital was able to get him under control and out of a coma. They then wouldn't release him without being paid, So the family had to signed a promissory note to the cruise liner (total was ridiculous I do not remember amount) and hospital in Colombia (which was well over $10,000,) and then bought him a one way plane ticket from Colombia to the States. Needless to say. I will never consider a cruise for a vacation. Stay safe out there y'all.
Alternative cruise, in Croatia: smaller, mostly wooden, sailboat! Nothing luxurious, just basic comfort! Rented together with friends, a dozen, mostly couples, to tour the Adriatic sea for 10-14 days! Almost every day, you're in a different small coastal village/town, eating local dishes and fresh fish! Secluded beaches and amazing time! Best vacations in my life! We keep going back every couple of years!
I definitely was not fond of going on a cruise ship (Carnival) and I only did it for my family, but I was pleasantly surprised. I went into it already pretty down troughted and I felt pretty awful the first two days of which I spent just walking around and observing all the places on it. My least favorite things were how hot it was at night of which I can only sleep in the cool with a blanket and that the fact the wifi even the most expensive did not work too well; regardless, the Wifi did not bother me too much as the TV selection was pretty good and I prepared for that. My favorite things on the boat were the endless free food, playing blackjack, and just how nice the workers were. Half Moon Cay was so beautiful despite it heavily raining. The water was so clear and warm and the sand was white. The Bahamas was okay. It is my first out of country experience and I spent most of the time there walking around in the blistering heat, but I still really enjoyed the experience of a different place even if the part I was at was heavily influenced by Western culture. My most memorable moments were just being alone and observing the waters, the surprisingly pretty interior of the boat, and just thinking in considerably my worst period mentally. It's an experience I think about often and I consider going on another one as the isolation despite the density of our floating island is a therapeutic sorrow. I don't think I'd suggest going on one because of many of the points Papa Meat bring up, but there is something about looking at the sheer endless leviathan that is the ocean knowing you are stuck there.
Spent a total of a year and six months of my life on an aircraft carrier. I'm good on the going back on a ship as a "vacation". I'll never forget one night after finishing the 12-13 day shift. I just finished showering and was brushing my teeth prior to going to sleep. Right on the other side of the sink area, the toilets were overflowing sewage like fountains (our berthing's bathroom had a lot of plumming issues during that deployment.) and all of it had been pooling on the floor, only being seperated from the hallway and the sinks by like 5-6" of the hatch opening (doorway). I just stood there brushing my teeth while watching it slosh back and forth from the ship rocking and wondered maybe the student debt wouldn't have been too bad.
Nothing like having your berthing off the hall they dragged the trash down to take up to the HB for processing. Idk how many times the double dragon ran through my department... You couldn't pay me to get on a ship again like that after I got out 😂
@KILOLover I feel ya, the ship is something else. On the same deployment we had a MF who was shitting in the shower and throwing it up onto the angle iron above the shower. This guy had to shit in his own hand and toss it up there. Everyone in the our berthing and surrounding ones called him the "Phantom Shitter" and our CMC considered implementing a shower watch by the sinks to stop it from happening.
As an Iowan, allow me to describe the true corn maze experience. Go out at 1AM and sprint into a cornfield, fleeing the bonfire that just got busted. Lay on the ground for an hour waiting out the cops, then try to find your way back to the road while drunk. Now that's a corn maze!
This video just confirms my bias that being on a giant germ factory that costs way too much is not worth it. The risk of being stranded or dead is too high. I have never gotten the appeal if you want to go to multiple places just travel to them, don't do it via a giant vessel that is full of people that moves on top of something that is also trying to kill you.
My family never had a lot of money, but we had a lot of kids, so my dad would dump his income taxes into a carnival cruise to the Bahamas (the cheapest voyage) every year and we wouldn’t buy anything extra. We got the standard No balcony no window 5 feet of space cabin, and we watched other people do excursions, and it was always unironically a great time, we were really having the time of our lives. I never developed a fear of them until I was older and becoming a less ignorant adult made me paranoid, but honestly I don’t think it’ll stop me from going on them. Y’all don’t understand, Guy Fieri’s burger joint wasn’t just 24 hours, it was included in the trip payment, so you never had to pay for it, and it wasn’t the only 24 hour restaurant there, so you got a decent variety. There’s just something magical about not feeling the financial burden when getting food, I will gladly risk my life and mental sanity for a week of that again lol.
As a young broke college kid who just got out the military. I would use my housing allowance i got from the military every month i was in college to save for a cruise. carnival cruises were cheaper then flight tickets+ hotels cost, I also gambled a little in the casino so my rooms became free with carnival just had to pay taxes on the room. You can't beat the price they give you to travel to 3 different islands in 7 days, I would sneak on liquor on my luggage so I didn't have to buy drinks. Always had the time of my life with friends or people i met on the ship. I was paying about 400-500 dollars total for 2 people 7 day cruise. I lived 1 hour from a cruise port so didn't have to pay for any plane ticket. I've been on about 60 nights worth of cruising. Got 1 more planned because of the newest ship carnival built the jubilee.
Junior officer here, the reason so many deaths are reported onboard ships is a result of the average age of guests. In some cases its cheaper to do back to back cruises with us, then pay rent. Few suicides as well, it's not a job i would recommend to everyone. Stay away from larger cruises, if you want to enjoy yourself, go for adult only cruises and go for a vessel that has a maximum capacity of around 1200. High capacity ships and kids are not a fun experience. Also, sea days. The ship is a fancy taxi, its nice to enjoy its features but ideally you are there to see the world. If you can help it, avoid trips with sea days. You can spend 7 days going around Croatia, never spending a full day onboard the ship outside of sleeping and dining
Surprising there weren't poop-stains off balcony-railings where passengers relieved themselves overboard; I'd expect someone to set fire somewhere critical prompting relief vessels to evacuate ticket-holders.
It has never occured to me that a cruise ship might be one of the best places to commit human trafficking crimes until now. It's honestly so perfect of a place that you'd have to be seriously suspicious if you're fond of them and I might tell you to never talk to me again
I’ve been saying that same thing FOREVER! Thank you for reassuring what I always thought of cruises . Ppl call me crazy for saying and I’ve never been on a cruise. The idea of being stranded and with no way out makes me cringe 😬
I was terrified of the idea of going on a cruise ship from like 10 to 20/21 years old. It had nothing to do with statistics. Just that there's a huge chance we're all stranded at sea or something goes catastrophically wrong based off of 2 incidents I saw on the news. Plus I felt claustrophobic just thinking about being stuck on the boat for days and days. I was finally convinced that it was ok after hearing multiple family members and my dad and stepmom had gone on cruises and were so happy they did. Some family members even went on one with my 84 year old grandma to Norway last year. So it made me start to come around. But after this video, FUUUUUUCK NOOOOO I'm not going on a cruise!
The ocean is legit terrifying. I have self diagnosed thalassophobia and the fact that it is just a giant void somehow filled with monsters in their natural habitat is just no thank youuuu!
Well the reality is it is mostly just empty space, yeah there's things living in it but depending on location you'd be hard pressed to find sea life in a lot of places.
I love that he says it's like a prison sentence & a Walmart on the water while also comparing it to hell. I used to work for Walmart & somedays it did feel like a hellish prison sentence.
Crazy fact about the Sewol Ferry, an American ship was around at that time which had fully trained team offered to help but Korea refused their help because it didn’t look good on them.
Even if the vessel notices a MOB and tries to immediately manueveur to save them, using the Williamson turn takes approximately 10 minutes in the absolute most ideal situations. Pair that with search and rescue responses that require timely coordination from the crew and cruise shops dont always have the best rescue boat cranes/davits. Your chances of being saved in a MOB are slim to none. As someone who did nautical navigation in the Arctic, I would not recommend taking your chances with cruise ships. Not to mention that rates of pay are atrocious, some cadets will only receive as much as 50 dollars a day as their pay (so consider how motivated those people are to actually saving you or serving you).
You forgot to add all of the cases of Norovirus outbreaks on cruise ships. Fuck that. Being on a ship pooping my guts out and puking everywhere. NO THANKS.
funny thing about the carnival triumph is that it was remodeled and renamed after this and renamed the sunshine. its current home port is Charleston SC. this was really exciting because we thought we got a brand new ship until we looked up its shitty history.
12:20 and pro-menth-a-zine And the one where you see the kids jumping off the ship, he wasn't recently graduated from college, he was recently graduated from high school and he went on a graduation trip to the Bahamas because you only have to be 18 to drink in the Bahamas and they dared him to jump off the boat and he never came back up. He was only 18 years old. So sad.
I was on that poop ship. Not the specific trip that had those issues, but the same ship. I went on thr cruise last year (2024). I had no issues in terms of sanitization or dangerous drunkards, I had a wonderful time. I did however quickly feel the fatigue living on the ship. I was ready to go home come the 7th day.
"The Good Ship Misery" from that bomb of a film "The Pebble and the Penguin" sounds like the perfect theme song for cruise ships from what I learned today.
That’s why I tell my family I will never ever in my life get on a cruise ship, they look at me like I’m crazy, I really don’t understand the obsession with cruise ships
I'M from Mobile and I worked in downtown Mobile, and let me tell you, the stench from the cruise ship was terrible. It made the entire port and alot of downtown smell like raw sewage. Like it smelt like I was right next to it even though I was miles away.
When I was on a cruise with my family many many years ago, I remember we always brought our phone wallets and passports when we left the ship to do anything. Just in case we were to miss it.
Very on point about how powerful the ocean is. It reminds me of a show called "One Piece". You might like it Hunter. In fact, a cool video idea would be to watch it in it's entirety, and review every episode.
I hate them. they mess up the towns they visit. several cruises have illegally dumped sewage and oil and garbage, too close to the towns they visit, poisoning the water with sewage and causing beaches to be closed due to a dangerous level of fecal bacteria being detected, but tour companies working with the cruiselines will still take the passengers on diving tours where they are swimming in their own feces. There are at leas 3-5 cruise ships a year that get quarantined (in just one cruise route, this is every year. before covid) for things like measles outbreaks because they are petridish of human disease. They buy shopfronts and then during the cruise they will give passengers advertisements and "discounts" for items (usually jewelry) or the shops will offer "discounts" for passengers from certain cruise lines (that own the shop) The shops get these, like boxes? crates? of random jewelry, for cheap and sell each piece for a humongous markup. None of the shops are really operated by actual locals. A lot of the cruises are owned by Disney which does a lot of bs things to the towns they send their cruises to. They do not care about the ecosystem or preservation of the places they commodify to profit off their passengers. They do not care about their passengers that trust their lives into the hands of the people operating these cruise companies, if you die on a cruise or something terrible happens (like the poop cruise) there is nothing you can actually do. You have basically signed a waiver on your life and your experience where even if you die directly because of their negligence they aren't legally responsible for that happening to you. They don't even have to bring your body back to your family.
Ironically I'm in the USN and my absolute favorite thing about being on a ship is the void of space. No light pollution and being able to see everything is amazing.
i love the ocean. i was stationed in okinawa and would take my kayak out in open deep ocean and fish for some pretty strong mahi, wahoo and tuna. My favorite thing was to let the fish exhaust itself and take a ride and let it go where it wanted if it didnt try going straight down. I loved jumping out and just looking down in the deep (+150m) and genuinely felt a lot of peace. No fear of the deep open ocean at all. Fuck cruise ships. i'm terrified of being stranded in a ship with a lot of people with no plumbing.
Nice, this made me think of a spear fisherman I watch on RU-vid named Masaru, he catches and does some awesome taste tests of different fish, would certainly recommend. Idk how to spell his channel as its kanji but if you search "Masaru fisherman Japan" I'm sure you'll find him
Couldn't agree more dude. Did my one and only cruise recently. Missed the first stop due to weather, had a nice day on the second stop, caught covid. In my room for 5 days including the day I tested positive. By the time I was good to go, all the port visits were over and we were headed home. I'll speak highly of the hospitality staff who are stuck on these things, but that's about it.
im from mobile, alabama and i remember the smell just permeating all through the streets and down the bay. that carnival cruise ship absolutely traumatized my nostrils, like burn your nose hairs type stank.
"It's cheaper to pay out the victims, than to do anything about it" says alot about the company and how we punish these companies. That should NEVER be said
I played water polo in high-school. Hearing people say "they were a good swimmer" is funny as heck. I almost drowned off the shore from some undercurrents. Let alone open ocean. Not to mention im pretty sure they charge you a fine if you jump the boat
