The moral of the story... If you are going out boating in the ocean, carry an emergency equipment kit that includes communications gear, water supply, and signaling devices. These boaters were negligent, and it cost them their lives.
if you are so sure about their negligence, i guess more than 1000 people on the titanic were all negligent, right? there is only so much you can put on that small life boat, you know. the bad thing is the lives that were lost here and it sounds like possibly needlessly. personally i dont blieve the princess captain although whitney houston heartbreak hotel he may not have been lying but hope the real truth gets told.
Do NOT use this line for any cruise! If they do not value humans whitney houston heartbreak hotel adrift at sea, doyou think they will place any value on the lives of the customers? Consider whitney houston heartbreak hotel that "saving" the silly boys who were adrift would have brought them a lot of positive publicity, had they stopped and picked them up.....but they did not. SHAME on them. BOYCOTT this cruise line!
BOYCOTT gardinerda and everyone else making themselves judge, jury and executioner. People like you are the reason why OJ got off and george zimmerman will get off. There is not proff that anyone on the cruise ship knew about it. the story says people on board knew. This same cruise line once had someone jumping over board and then turned around and forced everyone on the boat to look overboard for them. Stop destroying businesses for no reason. Ive gone on this cruise line 15 times so i know
