Sailing Into Disaster: How the 'Trainwreck: Poop Cruise' Became a Holiday Horror
- In February 2013, a fire in the engine room of the Carnival Triumph disabled power and sanitation, stranding about 4,000 passengers in the Gulf of Mexico for nearly five days.
- The blaze damaged electrical cables powering propulsion, lighting, and toilets, forcing passengers to urinate in showers and use biohazard bags while the ship drifted without adequate backup power.
- Passengers endured extreme unsanitary conditions with waste piling up, slept on decks due to heat in cabins, lost cell service initially, and later used fleeting signals from a nearby ship to communicate.
- Carnival refunded passengers with $500 payments and free cruises, spent over $115 million refurbishing the ship renamed Carnival Sunrise, and invested more than $500 million fleet-wide in fire safety and system upgrades.
- The incident remains a cautionary case prompting safety overhauls in the cruise industry, as highlighted in the 55-minute Netflix documentary Trainwreck: Poop Cruise, released June 24, 2025.
