A cruise ship from a well-known cruise line has had a disastrous turn of events resulting in a loss of power and raw sewage filling the hallways, etc. So passengers have been trapped in foul-smelling, filthy conditions in the pitch dark, forcing many to sleep on deck. Well, the ship is being towed into port, and passengers will be refunded and offered a litany of other consolations by the cruise line to try to make up for this awful experience.
But what caused this to happen? Well, please don't quote me, but a high-ranking member of the corporation tells me that this was the result of a simple unintended mix-up. Apparently what happened is that there was also a cruise planned for a group of schieze movie fans to stage a schieze movie festival and convention that was supposed to be somewhat, um, shall we say, "immersive". So this ship was actually supposed to break down and have all the sewage back up into the cabins and hallways, because that's what turns these people on. And the darkness was intentional as well, so as to help provide an "anything goes" atmosphere for which no-one could be recognized or held responsible later. (Remember how on the TV show Happy Days, guys on dates would intentionally run out of gas at Inspiration Point so as to be stuck with their dates with nothing to do far from home? It was supposed to be something like that for this group of porno fans, from what I understand.)
So apparently what happened is that somebody confused the ships in a spreadsheet, inputting the names incorrectly so that the wrong ship got matched with the wrong group. And as I understand it, there is an equally miserable group on a completely functional cruise ship that's not getting any press. And they're so unhappy because there are no perverted excrement-related porno movies to watch, there's no feces in their rooms, and the lights are all on so that they can see each other and know who did what to whom. But the cruise line promises to sort this thing out, and they're promising this other disappointed tour group an extra-disgusting and -kinky experience for their next cruise. The only problem is, some of these passengers claim that they can provide their own movies, their own excrement, and their own degrading experience for a fraction of the cost simply by staying home. And that doesn't look good for the future of cruise ships; at least not for specialized group cruises.
(Isn't it interesting how if you remove the letter "u" from the word "cruises" that it becomes the word "crises"? And seeing as how "u" sounds just like the word "you", that must mean that if you're not there, everything will go wrong on a cruise ship. And there have been quite a lot of things going wrong on cruise ships lately. So then, this whole thing is really your fault! And so are all the rest of these cruise ship calamities! How dare you do this to all those innocent cruise ship passengers? {You know who you are! Shame on you!})
