Trainwreck: Poop Cruise is about the 2013 Carnival Triumph cruise
As mentioned above, Trainwreck: Poop Cruise explores in detail the events that happened at the 2013 Carnival Triumph luxury cruise heading to Cozumel, Mexico, from Galveston, Texas. The cruise is now popularly referred to as "Poop Cruise" due to a catastrophic series of events that left thousands of passengers stranded at sea in unsanitary conditions.
A fire in the engine room initiated the catastrophe on February 10, 2013, when the ship was in the Gulf of Mexico. Electrical cables got damaged to such an extent that they caused critical system failure, shutting down air conditioning, lighting, refrigeration, and most notably, the flushing toilets.
With no toilet system, the sewage soon began overflowing into the common area, creating dire conditions for the guests. The stranded ship also started to drift towards Mobile, Alabama, due to currents. For days, the guests not only had to tolerate the unsanitary conditions but also the food shortage that was caused due to refrigeration failure.
The whole incident caused a media frenzy, prompting several media outlets to cover the news through choppers. It garnered widespread attention on social media for five days till the ship was docked on February 14, 2013. The cruise company offered compensation to their guests for the distress, which included a full refund of the ticket, reimbursement for transportation expenses, and a $500 payment.
