    Exclamation Six kicked off Ship in Bahamas

    The Sensation has returned from her first sailing after having served as housing during the aftermath of Katrina.

    Some passengers felt the ship wasn't ready.
    Apparently six of those were very vocal, demanding, and aggressive about it.

    Those six were put off the ship in the Bahamas.

    I love the final carnival quote

    De la Cruz ( carnival rep ) said some things on the ship may not been ready, but overall, the ship was OK to sail.

    "We wouldn't have put it back into service if we didn't feel it was ready for guests," she said


    no happy campers on that ship..

    Apparently, the Coast Guard did not agree with CCL last week.

    The quote from the article: " ... we were treated like animals ...."

    Delores, let's just all hope the problems will be worked out by the time you sail! If this makes you feel any better, we were on GLORY this January for a B2B the first two week after dry dock. The second week was better than the first....

    I would like to see what happens if they interview some of the other passengers. Not just the ones that were removed from the ship.

    I really have no knowledge of the specifics here, but I have seen some people complain so aggressively they act like animals... and that is never going to get you anywhere but off the ship or arrested.

    I wonder what it was that was so bad...I mean specifically what made the passengers so upset in the first place. I am sure it wasn't safety issues...the Coast Guard cares about that but I'll bet that's not enough to make passengers that angry. There must be more to this story!

    Did the coast guard finally clear the ship to sail?
    Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
