Sailing Blind! Lights out at sea!

Imagine this! Your on the cruise of your dreams, everything is going brilliantly. You have had a fantastic day ashore and built up a bit of an appetite, so you decide to go to your designated restaurant and you sit down for dinner. Your waiter passes you the menu “Can I help you sir?" Then just like that all the electric goes out onboard and you’re left in the dark......
 Sound scary? Well just ask the Carnival Fascination passengers that were left dancing in the dark on Wednesday night, after a power cut left the ship adrift at sea for several hours. Apparently the cut was due to a "technical malfunction", what comfort this gave the cruise passengers I don’t know, but at least we are talking hours and not days.

How long exactly the power was out is yet to be confirmed, but I’m sure it seemed like a life time for the passengers. I suppose its slightly more fun than having a power cut at home at least you can still fill up on the tasty food by torch light. Carnival is offering compensation to the disembarking passengers for the delay and the hours without power in the form of a 20 percent discount on a future two- to five-day cruise. The excitement of cruising!
