The stranded cruise ship

The carnival cruise ship, the Triumph, left land thinking about the enjoyable days to come. After a wonderful four day trip, they were sailing home. On sunday, the engine broke down cutting off all electricity and setting the boat adrift. Bathrooms stopped working. The smell of raw sewage wash unbearable. many people moved their mattresses out to the dock because they couldn't breathe. They ran out of food and had to wait in three hour lines to get onion sandwiches. People went insane. After five days in this condition they were finally pulled back to the United States.
The owners of the cruise ship has given every person $500, and a free ticket for a cruise in the future (many people hated the free ticket, never wanting to go on a cruise ever again.)
