>> yes, brooke.e tell you, up until 2011, jacque reid and i were on the same cruise for about nine years. yes. so it was a huge morning radio show cruise, but the last three years going into it, there was a lot of trepidation because stories like this. and i think that's why enrollment and participation of passengers coming on to ships began to dwindle because people are afraid to be stuck at sea. there is not a lot you can do out there. we heard the horrific stories about not being able to get food, the bathrooms aren't working, nobody wants to deal with that. >> you hear from carnival, carnival says we never lost power, they say we always had ample food, the sewage system is okay. but then you hear from people who are stuck on this boat and they say, yeah, not so much. not at all the case. carnival is giving them reimbursement of the trip and then some. andrew, good enough? what do you do if you're carnival? >> i don't know what you do if you're carnival. you try to keep the issues out of light as
