I've been on some smaller river cruises but that's it.

On a related note...I got to thinking the other day about how ironic it would be if some of the passengers who got stuck on that "Triumph" cruise who maybe got a pass for free or reduced fare on another future cruise, and then got on one of these recent cruises from hell.

I mean, how horrible would that be...

If that happened to me I would tell them to stick their free/reduced fare "Sorry we fucked up your vacation" vouchers up their asses.
