Princess Chatter Archive / Re: Carnival owned cruise ship Costa Concordia runs aground off Italy

This Costa Line seems out of control, were there no 'checks and balances' by the parent company..Carnival Corporation?

I have no time for Costa, I lost $4000 in airfares and accommodation when they rescheduled Costa Atlantica out of the New England Cruise I booked 2 years ago, it took me 10 weeks to get my cruise fare back, but no chance with the airfares and accommodation.  Our insurance company would not pay out either on cruise ship rescheduling. >:(

Costa and their adminstration are the pits as far as I am concerned.

"A BALLERINA seen dining with the captain of the doomed Costa Concordia was the first person to reach a lifeboat, it was claimed yesterday.

While most passengers and crew fled with nothing, dancer Domnica Cemortan, 25, was on a lifeboat with a packed bag 30 minutes before the cruise liner finally ran aground off the Italian coast.

Her quick escape has prompted claims she was given early warning the vessel was going down before the order was give to abandon ship."

"Italian Coast Guard Cmdr. Francesco Paolillo says officers urged the captain, Francesco Schettino, to return to his ship and honor his duty to stay aboard until everyone else was safely off the vessel, but said Schettino ignored them."

Oh dear.  I hope this does not reflect badly on other Italian Captains/Officers employed on the ships, of whch Princess has many, as we all know.

But maybe too, pax might take lifeboat drill/emergency drills a little more seriously from now on. Many still try to dodge it, as we know. ???
