Passenger Sues Over 'Horrifying' Cruise

She barely had time to shower: A Texas woman who was aboard Carnival's infamous Triumph cruise already has sued the company over the "horrifying" conditions aboard the ship, Reuters reports. Among other things, Cassie Terry says she had to wade through feces from overflowing toilets after the ship lost power.

The lawsuit might well be the first of many, but the New York Times notes that the wording on tickets generally makes it difficult for passengers to win such suits. And one last final injustice: One of the buses carrying passengers home to New Orleans broke down at some point after leaving Alabama, reports AP. They had to wait for a replacement bus.
