    The “Poop Cruise” engine-room fire

    The February 2013 engine-room fire caused a prolonged loss of propulsion and widespread failure of wastewater and hotel systems. Raw sewage backed up into passenger areas while the ship drifted and awaited towing. Subsequent investigations examined the fuel-line failure, maintenance records, earlier leaks, and recent propulsion and inspection issues. The incident led to intense media scrutiny, extensive cancellations, repairs, and a broader Carnival safety-upgrade program.
