Poop Cruise: Returns to Spotlight in Netflix Series

Devin Marble explores dim hallways on a Carnival Cruise Line ship in quest of a functional restroom near the midway point in the recently released Netflix original series “Trainwreck: Poop Cruise.”

After an engine room fire in 2013, the Carnival Triumph lost power, including the ability to flush the majority of the onboard toilets. At the time, the 28-year-old was a traveler on the ship. “But each time I enter a bathroom, you open the door and say, ‘Nope, that one doesn’t work,'” he stated during the performance. Say, ‘Nope, that one is disgusting,’ and move on to the next one. That one isn’t effective.

Marble and his soon-to-be wife and in-laws were among the more than 3,000 passengers on board the ship when it became trapped close to Mexico. After more than ten years, Marble finally located a bathroom, and his video footage is featured in the most recent episode of the “Trainwreck” anthology series, which premiered on Tuesday.

It’s funny, you know. Marble, who is now 40, said before the program’s premiere, “I keep thinking to myself, seeing back on it that it wasn’t quite as bad as I thought at the time.” “And perhaps all wounds heal with time.”

What is Poop Cruise about?

The episode follows a Carnival Triumph trip from Galveston, Texas, to Mexico in February 2013. Up until the return voyage, when the fire left the ship dead in the water with no backup power, everything went according to plan.

Before it was eventually hauled to Mobile, Alabama, passengers were stranded on board for around four days without functioning air conditioning, restrooms, or lighting in many areas of the ship.

Soon, visitors were pulling mattresses out of their cabins to avoid the oppressive heat after sunbathing on the open decks. After many perishables were thrown out, the buffet’s plentiful selections were replaced by what was left over. Additionally, even when sewage started to fill several areas of the ship, crew members worked to keep visitors safe and comfortable.

In the documentary, one worker is shown standing in his hut in brown water.

Human Stories and Lasting Industry Impact

Director James Ross said, “You start with two separate worlds, which are the passengers and the crew, and they never mix.” However, after the event occurs, everyone is essentially in the same situation. The personnel is also dealing with this scenario, so what’s occurring to the passengers is also happening to them. As a result, many of the barriers that are essentially necessary to allow people to enjoy the trip of a lifetime begin to collapse, and you end up with this fascinating combination of “we’re all just human beings trapped on board a boat with no toilets.”

The episode includes footage aboard the ship, including the clips Marble first started recording to document his trip. Others were gathered with the help of the archival staff. They recreated incidents like operations on the bridge that were unlikely to be captured on camera at the time.

“We had to use our imagination to rebuild those things,” Ross remarked. “As a director, you never really have a moment where you’re trying to figure out how you’re going to film someone taking a shower.”

The episode, according to Carnival, was a “receptive moment for the entire cruise profession.”

“A full investigation after the incident found a design vulnerability that was fixed, and as part of our commitment to strong safety standards, Carnival Cruise Line invested over $500 million throughout our entire fleet in broad fire prevention and suppression, improved redundant operation, and improved management systems,” the cruise line said in an emailed statement. “As part of our continued commitment to industry leadership in this area, this is in addition to our strict Health, Environmental, Safety, and Security (HESS) protocols that govern the entire fleet of Carnival Corporation.”

The ship is still called Carnival Sunrise.

Marble referred to the crew members as “superheroes” and said that the event helped him and his new extended family grow closer. For instance, even before the events occurred, he discovered that he and his now-wife’s father both brought additional flashlights and batteries for emergencies.
