I'm curious about how it's possible to spend "two minutes" on a tender boat and get anywhere at all.
You're going to go after my two minute guesstimate of how long they would be in the tenders while they transfer to another ship?

Not now. But back then even the director called her "Kate Weighs-a-lot" She did diet and lost weight for the nude scene, though.
If he said that, he's a douche. And anyone who thinks she was "fat" in that movie is blind. And we wonder why there are teenagers with eating disorders committing suicide on a daily basis.

Sorry for getting OT...but it needed to be said.

nice to see a carnival cruise employee checking in
I work for Big Blue, not Carnival.
well, it doesn't really matter what company at this point there's no WAY I'll ever consider taking a cruise after this disaster.
It's your loss. Cruises are wonderful. My family and I have been on several and have had an outstanding time on each and every one.
it's just not for me, I don't see the appeal

She said the last few days they ate mostly "cucumber and onion sandwiches when the meat and cheeses went bad."
I aways thought I would hate cruising, but finally let my wife talk me into trying a 3 day cruise to the Bahamas. I enjoyed it quite a lot and we've been on 4 cruises in 4 years since then. I'm looking forward to the next one, although I would like some different ports of call next time.
So people would rather tolerate a boat filled with feces than to spend 2 minutes in a tender while they transfer to another ship?
Plus, I doubt they would fill the tenders to 160 people to transfer people....
You don't spend two minutes on a tender. If your cruise ship is too big in a harbour for mooring and tenders are used to get people to land, you easily have a half an hour ride. If the cruise ship's engines crap out in the middle of the ocean, let's say 600 miles away from the nearest harbour, it will be 24 hours.
You need to fill the tenders to 160 people if you want to empty the ship. Otherwise you go 24 hours to the harbour with half the people, 24 hours back, then another 24 hours. You still have no luggage.
And the whole thing is not safe. It's safe enough if your ship is hit with disaster and you need to evacuate; 100 times better than the alternative (swimming away from the sinking cruise ship), but if you evacuate a ship, I would guarantee there are broken bones, possibly people killed; and they _don't_ have toilets.
That was transferring to another ship
What ship?
Even assuming they had a spare ship, there's no way they would take the risk of transferring thousands of passengers to a different ship when the one they're on isn't in danger.
