When is your next cruise?

This sort of story makes me think I'll never take one. Don't like the sardines in a can feeling and the way germs incubate... but this takes the cake

businessinsider.com
"My wife (is) on this cruise and has said the conditions were horrible. No power, no water, having to use the bathroom in bags," Gary Keyes of Baton Rouge told usatoday.com.Carnival said technicians have since restored fresh water, and toilets were operating in some parts of the ship
On TV they had a real report that it is awful... poop bags stored outside the rooms since I guess they can't toss them over.... and they are peeing in the showers. Food is cold ham and cheese sandwiches.
The Carnival Triumph fire is the latest in a string of serious incidents involving cruise ships, most notably the Costa Concordia, which capsized in January 2012, killing 32 passengers. On Sunday, five crewmembers of a Thomson Cruises ship were killed during a safety drill in Spain.
My next trip (next month) is to a beautiful, new B&B on a wonderful estate (think Magnum PI) in Maui where I'll hike and windsurf and have a HUGE place about 200 yards from the ocean with a living room, dining room, bedroom overlooking the garden and full kitchen and fancy bath... 40" HDTV and a DVR... with a rental car outside loaded up with windsurfing gear. More my style.
