A Cautionary Tale - But Not the One You Think

I watched Trainwreck: Poop Cruise as someone who lives on a boat and has also spent plenty of time off-grid, camping, living simply. So my reaction to the events on the Carnival Triumph was not what the filmmakers may have intended. Yes, the fire was serious. Yes, the loss of power was frightening. But what truly shocked me was not the mechanical failure - it was the passengers.The documentary reveals something deeply unsettling about modern entitlement: a total inability to adapt when modern comforts disappear. When toilets failed, the crew handed out sanitary disposal bags - a practical, biosecure solution. Most passengers refused. The result? Unsanitary conditions, plumbing backups, and worsening chaos. This wasn't just a systems failure; it was a human failure.What astonishes me is the genuine horror expressed at the idea of peeing in a shower or using a bag - things our species has done, in one form or another, for tens of thousands of years. Watching people recoil from such basic realities while drifting in the middle of the ocean was, frankly, more apocalyptic than the fire itself.The film is well-paced and tightly edited, and Carnival deserves scrutiny for its disaster preparedness. But if there's a deeper message here, it's this: modern humans may not be ready to survive without flush toilets and air conditioning - and that should worry us far more than an engine room fire.Stuff happens. Systems break. But survival requires mindset, not just amenities. If these people are representing the species, then we are doomed.

CLEARLY 100% of the interviewees have NEVER BEEN CAMPING

I am at a loss to understand why some individuals chose to focus on relatively minor issues when faced with the profound challenges of being stranded in the ocean. Defecating in a bag, for example, is far from ideal, but it could be worse, such as intentionally causing constipation. Urinating in the shower really isn't as dramatic as they make it and while the absence of air conditioning may be uncomfortable, it is essential to acknowledge the magnitude of their circumstances. The documentary is not accountable for these people's inability to cope; nonetheless, it would have been advantageous to select more resilient interviewees.

That sunk fast

Trainwreck: Poop Cruise (2025) starts off with a weirdly intriguing premise; enough to make you press play out of morbid curiosity. But it doesn't take long to realize there's not much beneath the surface. The documentary feels like typical Netflix filler: shallow, rushed, and you could say, somewhat intellectually insulting.The incident itself is so anticlimactic, many might've been better off never hearing about it.The documentary is just short enough to keep you watching, only to leave you wondering why you bothered.Hopefully this is just throwaway content, and Netflix has something better cooking.
