Passengers describe 'sewage running down the walls' and people acting like 'savages'

134. What's mean spirited? The reality of civil litigation?

I've actually won against Carnival in IP arbitration:

I totally agree that the way their entire operation is designed to screw customers by jurisdiction shopping for ship registries, their influence in the Florida legal system, and even their ability to influence international treaties on the subject is pretty damned mean spirited. As noted in the link above, I have personal experience with their underhandedness.

You can be raped aboard ship by one of their employees, and they will drop off the employee at the next port and deny, delay, and litigate until the cows come home.

Anyone with the financial means to support fee based litigation against Carnival is crushing on their own yacht, and not these floating Petri dishes of theirs.

That's an observation of reality. If it was up to me, everything would be butterflies and rainbows, I assure you.
