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.

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.

Gentlemen,

If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer. The ship, I can
only describe it this way, knuckled 3 times during the list.

Also think the list may have been more than 15 degrees, passenger
cabins and pubic area windows were in the ocean on the tilted side on
the 5th and 6th decks.

Regards,

Patty

passangers, Is that true?

full refund.

Just to the one side ,with each knuckle it listed quicker.

Absolutely.

Not yet but I am sure they will.
