It would take a stun gun and a roll of duct tape to get me on a cruise ship.

The first rule of Carnival Fight Club is: You don't talk about Carnival Fight Club.:P
The behaviour of the Carnival staff is mind-boggling.
If I ever considered taking a cruise with them, the thought is long gone now.:S>:(

If they'd spent half as much time doing something about the problem instead of trying to keep anyone from videoing it....
From the things we keep seeing in the news over the last few years I suspect they've dropped the prices to the point that pretty much anyone can go on one, like the way the airline passengers are bus riders in the sky. Only now you're not stuck with them for a couple of hours flight, it's ten days and nights. Cut rate nightmares.

"Hundreds of doctors have walked off the job in Kenya, demanding systemic changes at a hospital where the wrong patient was recently subjected to brain surgery. It has been more than a week since a registrar -- a specialist doctor in training -- cut open the skull of the patient, who was only meant to have a non-invasive procedure, but the outrage over the mistake is still mounting."
