Wouldn't one think, that if the ship WAS NOT taking on water, it would
resume it's cruise and repair the hull later on?
Why is it necessary to RESCUE the passengers, if there is NO danger because
the ship IS NOT taking on water? Then, AFTER the passengers are removed, the
ship will sail for 40 HOURS to Argentina. Go figure!
If I have a fender bender accident while driving to florida, and NOTHING
important is damaged, I fix the car AFTER I get home.
I guess people enjoy paying a LOT OF MONEY to end up being jerked around.
This cruise company must be operated by relatives of the 3 stooges.
