I've been calling Carnival the ghetto cruise line for years and, once again, people said I was "bougie." Well this week a Carnival cruise ship broke down in the middle of the ocean after an engine fire. They just announced that the crew was finally able to get normal amenities back on line. That's right, they just got running water, sewage and lights back on. They still don't have heating and air conditioning. Any hood person can tell you that utilities are usually the first to go when times are tough.
The navy showed up and dropped off food rations. That's right...rations! Pop tarts, spam, bread and canned crabmeat. Tell me that's not a hood grocery list. Spam? Really? If they had hot water, I'm sure they'd be eating Top Ramen. (No disrespect to Nissin and the Top Ramen family...shout out to Maruchan!)
So now they're getting a TUG BOAT to pull the remaining 150 miles to shore. Do you know how slow a tug boat moves? You could get out and swim faster than one of those. Once they get the 4500 passengers back to Mexico shore, a caravan of buses will take them back to California.
So let's recap...
The whip broke down and is about to be towed. The fam is eating Spam, Little Debbies and tunafish to pass the time away. The lights, phone and a/c were out and they're all catching the bus back home. Ghettoness confirmed!
