I would say the whole bridge crew better have some good answers.

If I was the owner, I would suspend everyone until I got solid answers.
Then fire everyone involved in the bad decisions.

But Italians look like they wasted no time in arrest.

My sister-in-law was on a 'Scrapping Cruise' on this ship last year. She said it was horrible - poor
service, dirty, generally run down. She was somewhat shocked to see the same ship in the news.

What is a "scrapping" cruise?

I thought the boat was relatively new.

A scrapping cruise is when a bunch of women who are 'scrappers', i.e. makers of scrapbooks, get
together and work on scrapbooks while on a ship. My wife goes to Bethany Beach every spring for a
scrapping get-together.

The ship entered service in July, 2006, so she was pretty new.
