I know the passengers will be compensated with full refund, another cruise for free and 500.00 but I would like to hear that Carnival is doing something for the crew as well. Can you imagine what they went through?---they already work from early morning to late at night when the cruise is going smoothly. Their cabins are either deck 0 or 1---I am sure they did not have the option to sleep on the deck--which I am sure wasn't very comfortable. I know the passengers had a horrible experience but for some reason, I think of the crew. We have thoroughly enjoyed each and every cruise --just got off the Carnival Dream 2/9---our 12th with Carnival and a good part of our enjoyment is the friendliness and service we receive from the crew.

Amen to this! I have also been concerned about the crew and their conditions. Also, let's just give some air time to the millions of people in 3rd world countries who live like this EVERY day of their lives? At least the passengers on the ship knew that their experience would end soon. I hope at least someone used this experience to count their blessings for the conditions they live in during their regular lives and think about those who don't have the option to "just leave".
