Human error, generally rears it's ugly head, but there's still more to
it..... i.e., the system and the officer's training/experience, allowed this
"error" to occur.

Latest news: Passengers got a full refund. Captain remains Captain.
Several crew re-assigned. Ship was on Autopilot at the time of the
incident. Human error at fault. No further explanation forthcoming
from the company.

Now when on the helm of the fat sam I had a very hard time inducing a
30 degree roll, lucky to get a 10 degree roll without getting caught,
and we were 11 decks abouve the waterline.

I guess the fat sam was not as top heavy as the carnival ship. I wonder
if the helmsmans was just FN with the passengers, or maybe they engaged
the autopilot on the wrong course.

Critical injuries....oh my. That ship looks extreamly top heavy, wonder
whats going to happen if it gets in a major storm, people are going to
be slapped back and forth between the bulkheads.

Thats a pretty extensive report there Don.
Are you employed by Princess cruise lines for Damage control PR?

Just kiddin, we all know how the News people make mountains outta mole
hills

Before you said the Capt sounded terrorized, in this report you say he
is out of breath from running up 3 decks..which is it?
