People are just realizing the most disgusting secret about Carnival Poop Cruise came AFTER the Netflix special
The revolting TV episode released Tuesday catalogued from start to finish the doomed voyage of the Carnival Triumph in February 2013.
The ship was meant to embark on a four day sojourn out of New Orleans, Louisiana throughout the Gulf of Mexico.
But, on day four, an electrical fire broke out and engulfed the ship's electrical cables in flames. Those cables powered its entire electrical system including the power, refrigeration, propulsion, air conditioning and the power to flush the toilets.
What came next was five days of utter anarchy, characterized by open sewage flooding onto the decks, people having sex out in the open, and fights over a waning food supply.
However, at the end of the documentary, it was revealed that this cursed ship was not actually retired from Carnival's fleet.
Instead, the company spent $115million to clean and repair the ship. Then, it was renamed 'Sunrise' and has been in service ever since.
One content creator, Sarah Elizabeth, posted pictures of her June 2022 cruise and showed that she had in fact sailed on the Carnival Sunrise.

'Just watched this on @Netflix and realized the first cruise we EVER went on in 2022 was in fact the infamous POOP CRUISE. I'm dead. Hahah,' she wrote in the caption of the TikTok video.
Another TikToker, Thomas Adrianna, said she sailed on the Sunrise in 2024 out of the ship's home port in Miami.
'Guess what boat I was on last year. The Carnival Sunrise. On top of that, our boat actually flooded the day before our cruise and we still went because they claimed that our floor wasn't affected. Y'all I can't believe they had us on that s****y a** boat,' she said.
A third woman who went on Sunrise with her family posted a rapid slideshow of her experiences on the ship.
The comments on these videos ranged from people sharing their own experiences on the Sunrise, good and bad, to others asking if the ship still smelled.
'Can't convince me they were able to clean the dookie out of every crevice,' one person commented.
Daily Mail approached Carnival for comment and received a statement that said: 'Carnival Triumph, like two other ships in the same class, was renamed after a $200million bow-to-stern transformation. The ship re-emerged with major upgrades and enhancements as Carnival Sunrise in 2019 - six years after the 2013 incident. This was also well publicized and celebrated at the time, with a naming ceremony that took place in New York City.'
The Netflix documentary was released on Tuesday as an episode in the running Netflix series 'Trainwreck,' which has looked at several different disasters.
Past episodes covered the crowd crush at Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival and Woodstock '99, a music festival in upstate New York tainted by sexual violence and inadequate sanitation.
Viewers of the 'Poop Cruise' episode were particularly horrified at how quickly social order broke down once it became clear the ship wasn't going anywhere.
Makeshift tent cities sprang up because there was no air conditioning in the ship. People dragged their mattresses out to the top and used their sheets to create shade for themselves. This mad dash led to fights over space on the deck.
When it came to the crew's request for people to poop in bags because the toilets weren't working, viewers were outraged that some passengers felt they were above doing that.
This, of course, led to toilets overflowing onto the decks and creating a stench so horrific that people reported being unable to stand being in the interior of the ship.
Help finally arrived for them on Valentine's Day - February 14, 2013. Tug boats ushered the floundering ship for the Gulf to a nearby port in Mobile, Alabama, miles away from the cruise's original docking point.
Carnival's statement to Daily Mail concluded: 'The Carnival Triumph incident over 12 years ago was a teachable moment for the entire cruise industry. A thorough investigation following the incident revealed a design vulnerability which was corrected and led Carnival Cruise Line to invest more than $500million across our entire fleet in comprehensive fire prevention and suppression, improved redundancy, and enhanced management systems, all in support of our commitment to robust safety standards.
'This is in addition to our vigorous Health, Environmental, Safety and Security (HESS) protocols that guide the entire Carnival Corporation fleet as we maintain our commitment to industry leadership in this area. We are proud of the fact that since 2013 over 53 million guests have enjoyed safe and memorable vacations with us, and we will continue to operate to these high standards.'

Amtrak revives Gulf Coast service 20 years after Hurricane Katrina brought it to a standstill
Tickets are now on sale for a train service between New Orleans and Mobile, Alabama, that has been revived 20 years after it was halted by Hurricane Katrina. The new, twice-daily Amtrak Mardi Gras Service begins on August 18, and will take three hours and 43 minutes to travel the 145-mile Gulf Coast route. End-to-end adult fares start at $15 each way and the trains will offer coach and business-class seats, as well as Wi-Fi and a café service. The first stop after New Orleans is Bay Saint Louis, which offers white sand beaches, downtown art galleries and antique stores, notes Amtrak. Next is Gulfport, where visitors can book fishing charters and explore Fishbone Alley, an "ever-evolving" public art space tucked into a historic alley. Top seafood restaurants await at the following stop, Biloxi, says Amtrak, and "incredible" 19th-century antebellum architecture at the penultimate stop of Pascagoula. Amtrak continues: "Pirate Jean Lafitte, Andrew Jackson, Ulysses S. Grant, Zachary Taylor and Jimmy Buffet all spent time in Pascagoula and considered it home, a hideaway or a respite throughout the years. Visit La Pointe-Krebs House, circa 1718, with a panoramic view of Krebs Lake or simply relax with a picnic at Beach Park for the day, overlooking the Mississippi Sound. 'The Mardi Gras' final stop is known as the Paris of the South, a city, says Amtrak, with a vibrant history that stretches back nearly 325 years — each chapter brimming with fascinating stories and timeless traditions." Hurricane Katrina, which began as a tropical storm and intensified to a category 5 hurricane, struck the Gulf Coast region in August 2005, causing $125 billion worth of damage and leading to the deaths of 1,800 people. Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), senior member of the US Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, said: "I'm thrilled to have the Amtrak service restored along the Gulf Coast. "It has been almost 20 years since Hurricane Katrina interrupted this service, and its reopening has been a lot of hard work. The Mardi Gras Rail will expand travel options and allow more Americans to experience the beauty and economic benefits of the Gulf Coast. "Mississippians deserve access to reliable transportation, and the Mardi Gras Rail will provide more options for communities along the Gulf Coast. I am looking forward to joining Amtrak and thousands of fellow Mississippians at the grand opening." David Clark, Visit Mobile President & CEO, commented: "This is an incredible moment for the City of Mobile. "The twice-daily service will provide substantial options for easy and experiential travel for visitors and citizens while creating a new avenue of economic impact for the City of Mobile and Gulf Coast communities." Amtrak President Roger Harris said: "We encourage customers to get their tickets now to experience this new scenic service. "Guests can plan travel for football trips this fall, for November and December holiday travel – and even Mardi Gras Season next year."

Olivia Munn says male director tried to 'ruin' her chances to get future roles after HBO dispute
Olivia Munn is opening up about a harsh experience on the set of HBO 's The Newsroom with a director who tried to hinder her from getting future roles. The 44-year-old actress was first best known as a correspondent on the popular G4 series Attack of the Show, before breaking through as an actress as Sloan Sabbith on The Newsroom. She opened up about an unnamed director on The Newsroom during a wide-ranging chat with Dax Shepard on his Armchair Expert podcast. The actress - who recently made headlines for comments about Jeff Bezos' ex Mackenzie Scott - realized this director wanted to put his 'imprint' on her Sloan Sabbith character, which involved a romantic relationship with Thomas Sadoski's Don Keefer. 'There was a storyline where my character and Tom Sadoski's character are dating and falling in love,' she said. However, the director, 'kept trying to force me to carry that storyline only on my side. He's like, "Can you look out at him and smile?" And I'm like, "Why she's busy doing this?" She added that he would suggest, '"Can you stop and snuggle up to him or flirt with him?" Or, "Can you give him a kiss?" And I'm like, "This is in the middle of working."' There was another scene where she finds out that Keefer engaged in some 'insider trading with information I got him,' and while her reaction for the character was naturally one of outrage, the director thought otherwise. 'They were like "I don't think that you're that angry with him it's kind of funny." I just fought back so much and then it got to this place where there was one scene and I was like "No I'm not,"' she admitted. 'And he goes he said "Look it's my job as a director to see all the different colors of the rainbow." And you are looking at only one color and I don't think you realize how you're coming off and I said "How am I coming off?" and he said really forceful and strong and I said, "Great, that's what I wanted," and walked away,' she said. Munn added that some time after that incident, she was, 'on the one-yard line for a movie,' and she found out that this director had spoken out against her. 'My manager calls me and says, "Hey, you're gonna get the role. But first, I guess there's another director who they know and he says that on The Newsroom you were late all the time and really combative,' she said. 'I lived seven minutes from there. I was never late. I was like, "I know who this is." He just was trying to bash me. And I told my reps, "Please tell the directors this,"' Munn said. She added, 'And then I still got the role. But I will always remember that just because of our conflicts of how we approached a role, he wanted to ruin my chances of getting anything else.' Munn also opened up about one of her exes, NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers, during the podcast, revealing she didn't watch the new Netflix documentary about him. She also opened up about rumors that she started the rift with his family, which he recently debunked. 'There's this whole big narrative that stayed with me for so many years, but there was just this dynamic in the family that had nothing to do with me. It became this whole big thing, and people were like, "I can't with her, she's keeping this family apart."' 'People have speculated for many years what was the rift, and I know, but I'm not saying because it's not my story to tell,' Olivia revealed.

EXCLUSIVE Insider reveals the TRUTH about Ryan Seacrest's new pictures
Ryan Seacrest shocked his fans when he shared a series of Instagram photos on Monday looking noticeably slimmer. Seacrest unexpectedly sparked panic among his seven million followers, as many were worried about his appearance. Now, an insider has exclusively revealed to the truth behind Seacrest's latest how he really feels about them. Seacrest, 50, shared a nine-slide carousel documenting his 'life lately,' including a picture of the American Idol presenter looking slim in a button-up shirt and matching pants, but his stylish ensemble looked a bit baggy. Commenters quickly aired their concerns, with one saying he looked 'frail' and another telling him 'you're getting too skinny.' 'Please tell me you're not on the skinny drugs too,' one commenter wrote anxiously. However, plenty of his fans rushed to his defense, with some saying it was 'rude' to discuss his weight, urging others to 'be positive and encouraging.' Now, an insider has told that 'Ryan thought that the pictures made him look good.' 'He's very happy and healthy,' the insider confirmed, adding, 'Nobody should be worried about him.' The media mogul, who is dating 32-year-old entrepreneur Camille Orders, has been busy working out this summer, which is what he credits with his new physique. The radio personality has been working out with a new trainer, Dodd Romero, who has also worked with Jennifer Lopez and Lenny Kravitz. He's also combined Pilates and yoga for the first time, which is what created the 'visible change.' 'He's also been enjoying vacation time this summer and eating lots of pasta,' the source made sure to add. The Wheel of Fortune host has even been documenting his pasta excursions on Instagram. On Tuesday, he posted another carousel and wrote: 'Little time off for a pasta making lesson with my pal @brunellocucinelli; featuring a pot that's a monument to carbs.' The comments were much more encouraging, as fans praised the pictures and said the meal looked incredible, adding that it was brave he was cooking in a full suit. Seacrest has enjoyed a busy summer abroad. Before he was linked to Order, he previously admitted to feeling 'depressed' about being single nearly one year after he broke up with his longtime girlfriend, model Aubrey Paige. Now, he's moved on and is enjoying a European summer, despite the negative commentary. In June, he was spotted in Rome on a romantic stroll with his new girlfriend, who previously worked as an intern at E! News. 'People shouldn't be worried, he is in great spirits and great health and enjoying life,' the insider confirmed.
