Actually it is not all that bad.

1. The passengers are being fully reimbursed for this trip
2. The passengers are getting a free cruise for the future.

I hope the US. Navy and coast guard are getting reimbursed for the food it sent too. I know these people are stranded, but it's the lines fault, even though it was an accident.

Oh I bet the cruise line will be paying out their ears for this. They flag their ships in some little banana republic to avoid paying taxes and guess what happens... a rescue by the Coast Guard, what would have been paid for partly by your tax dollars now has to be paid for in full out of your wallet. :haha:
