Now a little over a month from the last Cruise Ship being evacuated we had to do it again.

I'm just wondering if were being told the truth as to why these 2 ships got into trouble like this?

Could there be something else going on that were not being told?

Or am I just putting more into this than what it is?

The link above shows where another cruise ship had to be evacuted as well.

Just like everything else on this down the toilet planet. It is a decline in standards and quite possibly idiots behind the wheel.

The days when stiff upper lipped British captains, commanded respect across the oceans are long gone.

Ships are regestered in the cheapest avalible port, thus allowing the ship to be crewed by the cheapest and lowest standard crew avalible.

Also people sailing these days are so reliant on technology.

They were in 3ft of water, on a rather large boat! Surly the displacement OMG.

The eyes in the front of your head - Use them people!!!

ChiKeyMonKey,

Ok, I see your point here. Were hiring people who just don’t know how to drive a cruise ship.

I don’t know though. Seems really fishy to me that 2 cruise ships have went down in a little over a month from each other.

First these ships went through a time when everyone on board would all get sick. Now 2 ships sink.

Maybe, just maybe something else made these ships take on water.
