The MSC Opera isn't the only cruise ship to have experienced a power outage in January. The Carnival Triumph and the Viking Sky also had issues. Fortunately, no one was left stranded. A statement from Carnival Cruise Lines on January 25 confirmed that the ships were not stranded.
MSC Opera
Over 1,700 passengers were left stranded after the MSC Opera cruise ship lost its power off the coast the Baltic Sea. The malfunction was caused by a technical problem in the electrical panel. It also caused the ship to lose its hotel service. The ship drifted three days before tugboats managed to catch it and tow him to a nearby dock. The ship was then towed to the Nynamshamn port near Stockholm.
The MSC Opera was spared from any injuries. The ship was six miles / ten km from Visby, when it experienced a power cut, which affected the ship's electrical, running and toilet systems. The ship had to cancel its 10-day cruise to Southampton because of the power outage. MSC Cruises has offered to rebook the passengers and give them their money back.
Viking Sky
The high risk of Arctic travel by cruise ships highlighted by the recent Viking Sky ship accident in Hustadvika in Norway. It highlighted the heightened risk associated with safety equipment failures on board and the ramifications for passengers and crew. The risk of such accidents is likely to increase with more cruise ships making the trip.
The cruise ship suffered engine failure in rough seas off the coast of Norway on Saturday. Although the ship was just minutes away from hitting the rocks, its engines failed. However, the crew restarted three engines to move it towards shore. It is believed that around half of the 1,373 passengers were airlifted to safety. Most of these passengers were American citizens, or British.
Carnival Triumph
The Carnival Triumph lost all power following a fire at the engine room. The ship spent four days drifting aimlessly in the Gulf of Mexico. It was eventually towed to Mobile, Alabama. It was not until passengers on board that Carnival was sued for breach of contract, negligence, and other charges. The passengers complained about the problems they experienced and sought answers.
The ship's captain was able to relight the ship's generator, but not before the cruise ship lost power for about eight minutes. The power outage affected three decks, including incinerator, and created a smoke problem.
MSC Ecstasy
MDMA, also called Ecstasy or synthetic stimulant, is a stimulant derived from the amphétamine family. There are several different types of MDMA, many of which have similar effects. These include MDA, MDEA, and MBDB (N-methyl-1-(3,4-dioxol-5-yl)-butanamine). Some products contain additional substances. For example, MDMA is often mixed with LSD, a dissociative anaesthetic, or with mushrooms to make "hippieflip" and XTC.
MDMA is linked to many side effects that are troubling for many. Many users experience feelings of disinhibition or derealization, while others report feeling fully connected to their ideal selves. Some users may feel in communion with God.

How To
How to avoid being seasick while on a cruise
A hat can help prevent seasickness when you cruise. A wide-brimmed hat helps prevent motion sickness by keeping the head from moving too much.
A hat also keeps water off the face, reducing the air's moisture. This makes it easier for people who feel dizzy when they breathe in moist, humid air.
Another tip is to drink lots of fluids. Avoid alcohol or caffeine. These drinks dehydrate the body causing more fluid to move around in the stomach. Salt levels can be decreased by drinking enough liquids. Salt causes the body and kidneys to retain water. This can lead to nausea.
If you do feel nauseous, try eating something salty. Salty foods can cause your stomach to produce more hydrochloric acids, which aids in breaking down food particles.
These tips may not work. There are other medications that can be used to treat seasickness. Be aware that some medications may have side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision, and headaches.
