how is it that more cash makes it a better deal? No matter how much money is offerred the ordeal cannot be erased. All the company can do is try their best to get one back to square one as best as possible.
I fear our litigious society is so geared to sue who ever for what ever that reality plays no part what so ever. Far too many lawyers who are ready to fatten their fee by getting as many dollars as possible. And when that gets done the icident is still what it is/was.
The go for the big bucks is just another opening for opportunists ready to milk the system.....it is an unfortunate by product of our current way of life.
In my opinion as a very frequent traveler my entire life, Carnival reacted with an appropriate spirit and intent to make a bad situation as good as possible.
Could they have done other things....who knows. The game is always easier to play from the bleachers or the day after isn't it?

This is NOT the first time for Carnival. They seem to make national headlines every couple of years with these types of issues. I did hear passengers interviewed say they thought the crew did a stellar job, but they only had negative things to say regarding carnival's management.
