So you've got 8 to 12 hours to get everybody off the ship.

That alone can take 3 to 5 hours.

Each ship, some of these big ones, they have 4,000 people on there, 4,000 passengers.

That's not including crew.

There would be about 70 to 80 massive truck trailers pulled up to the terminal to deliver provisions for the next trip.

Sometimes you see like 30,000 pounds of just meat going into one ship.

Near the end of November this year, there was one point where 10 ships were docked simultaneously and they had more than 320 trucks coming in to help restock supplies for these cruise ships.

But because of how many cruises take place daily and just the sheer logistics of being out in the water with as many good backup plans as a major corporation would have, which is never a lot, a lot of things go wrong on a cruise.

And a lot of the times, it's the cruise's fault.

And that's like a very bold statement.

It's merely an opinion.

And by cruise, I don't mean the crew.

I mean the corporation.

Like the poop cruise.

The Carnival Cruise takes off.

It's the Carnival Triumph.

And it's a 4,100 passenger type ship.

So there's a lot of people on board.

This is their vacation.

A fire breaks out in the mechanical room.
