With All The Cable News Camera's In Mobile It's No Wonder That Carnivale Would Want To Dock At Nite. [View all]
I'm thinking this latest delay is an effort by the cruise line to come into port under the shadow of darkness. I don't think they want any more attention than they already have and coming in at nite will make it harder for the cable news crews to interview people coming off the ship and getting their accounts of what happened to them; the conditions on the ship and the treatment that these passengers had during their ordeal.
If they came into port during the day - I think it would make for better TV - and the cruise line knows this. So I'm really thinking that the cruise line is delaying this whole thing on purpose.
Any thoughts?
