No, Thanks, I Don't Want To Hit The Buffet Right Now

Some Carnival cruise ships -- including the line's newest -- failed health inspections, and that included flies on the buffet, passenger illnesses, overflowing trash bins, and, well, okay, here's one that might ruin your vacation: a honeymooning couple says they couldn't use their bathroom because the drains began to spew black sewage. They said they had to use the bathrooms in the spa for the rest of their cruise. The staff, they say, acted like poop coming up through the drains is normal. Another passenger said her cabin smelled like poop, too. Would you soldier on or would you get off the boat at the next opportunity and fly home? Do stories like these make you want to avoid cruises altogether? (Miami Herald)
