Fiasco total: El crucero de la caca

Omgosh a lot of the people who attended the cruise for fun are people I would hate to hangout with. The people who couldnt handle the begining of the problems like poo in the bag and number one in the shower when it wasnt stinky. Are so lame.

Yall never went camping. You guys are not lasting if goverment went down and structures started failing.

I had such a annoyance at those who couldnt handle and complained at the minor indecency.

And to the dude who wanted to hold in and not poo in a bag, could of actually created a health emergency not from bad hygenic outer conditions but because that can come out his mouth.

The documentry itself is kind of funny, love the news coming out, the aftermath, and the crew were the greatest.

They say it's not nice to laugh at other people's misfortunes, but sorry, I couldn't help but laugh.

In February 2013, everything was going fine on the Carnival Triumph luxury cruise ship until day four, when a fire knocked out the ship's electricity. This, in turn, disabled the toilets, leaving passengers with the option to do number ones in the shower and number twos in a red poop bag.

Most of the food had to be thrown away, thanks to no refrigeration, leaving passengers with crappy, unappealing sandwiches and not much else. A plan to give passengers free drinks didn't go well, as it seems drunk passengers on a broken cruise ship stuck in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico was a recipe for yet more disaster.

This is just day one; it gets worse, much worse. I felt bad for laughing, but I couldn't help it.

Eventually, the media got a whiff of the story, which is much better for them than the whiff of pee and poop being endured by the poor passengers and crew of the Carnival Triumph.

It turns out there were plenty of warning signs that this could happen. There had been several fires on Carnival's ships, and this fire was caused by a leak in a diesel engine's flexible fuel oil return line that spilt onto a hot surface and ignited. This was not the fault of the crew, who came across as guardian angels, thus saving Carnival Cruise Line a little bit of face, but not much.

This is the third of the Netflix Trainwreck series I've seen, and probably the best so far. Thankfully, nobody died in this disaster, but anyone watching will surely be glad they were not on that boat.

I didn't follow the story when it first happened, so this documentary was a wild, bizarre, and completely captivating surprise for me. I was hooked from start to finish.

But there's a great guilty pleasure in watching this when hearing the American women on a bachelorette cruise share their dramatic version of events, complaining about missing out on margaritas and beach time, while a crew member calmly explains that this kind of thing happens all the time in her country and doesn't shock anyone. It's both brilliant and embarrassing! 😂

I think this is the reason for the 1-star reviews, but it's a fascinating commentary on culture pulled from a story about poop flooding a ship. I say, well done!

Also, credit to the producers for keeping it under an hour. That was the perfect length.

Trainwreck: Poop Cruise (2025) starts off with a weirdly intriguing premise; enough to make you press play out of morbid curiosity. But it doesn't take long to realize there's not much beneath the surface. The documentary feels like typical Netflix filler: shallow, rushed, and you could say, somewhat intellectually insulting.

The incident itself is so anticlimactic, many might've been better off never hearing about it.

The documentary is just short enough to keep you watching, only to leave you wondering why you bothered.

Hopefully this is just throwaway content, and Netflix has something better cooking.

It is a fairly short documentary that is fun to watch. Well, fun if you like laughing at other people's misfortune.

What struck me is the incredible sense of entitlement of the passengers (at least those being interviewed). Oh, the HORROR of having to poop in a biohazard bag! Really, is it that bad, under the circumstances? They were reacting to the red bag suggestion as if they were told to perform surgery on each other without anesthesia.

Hannah, the crew member, could not have possibly grown up in the Soviet Union, just based on her age. Her knowledge about the country comes from the same sources as fairy tales about bears on the streets playing balalaikas. I did grow up in the SU, and I have never heard nor experienced disasters similar to that cruise ship, where people hoard food, fight each other for sleeping places, and generally everyone is out for themselves. On the contrary, this kind of experience would have been handled differently, the crew would have been rationing food (one sandwich per person), and the passengers would have been much more disciplined and would have banded together.
