Netflix has released a documentary that takes a deep dive into the infamous 2013 'Poop Cruise' incident aboard the Carnival Triumph. This unfortunate voyage was marred by a fire in the engine room, which stranded approximately 4,200 passengers and crew at sea for five days without power. According to the documentary, the conditions on board deteriorated dramatically as toilets became non-functional, leading to unsanitary conditions that passengers described as a 'lasagna of poop.' The cruise had originally been intended for two days, but instead turned into a chaotic ordeal marked by severe shortages of food and drink, confrontations among passengers, and makeshift camps on deck while the ship awaited assistance. After enduring such dire circumstances, the passengers were finally brought back to land, where one crew member expressed a humorous but lasting impact, saying he could never again look at lasagna the same way. The documentary, part of Netflix’s anthology series, has garnered substantial attention since its debut in June.
