14. There’s A Gross Side
Cram tens of thousands of people into one floating building, then feed them exotic food and booze for days. See what happens. It’s more than a handful of clogged toilets. Sometimes the whole ship gets sick, like when the 2013 Carnival ship lost their engine after a fire somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico. The incident left the ship stranded with no power, which meant nothing worked. The ship’s sewer system backed up all over the boat. The stench was so bad, passengers created a tent city away from the rooms so they could breathe. It’s probably the only time everyone on the cruise lost weight instead of gaining it.
