We were on the Carnival Triumph the week before it lost power. Both my daughter and wife have been very reluctant to take more cruises because of that. And of course my daughter texted me a link to this incident right after it happened adding "This is why" (she doesn't like cruises.) She and her mom are down in Panama right now hiking around for 2 weeks (leaving me at home alone.) But that type of trip is much more their style.
