Overflowing toilets in the Caribbean. Living the Carnival Dream.
Just one month after Carnival Triumph flooded cable news with its red bags of dung, another group of passengers found themselves stuck on a cruise ship with nowhere to defecate.
Remember this? How about this?

Carnival Dream, a seven-day Caribbean cruise, is stuck at dock in Philipsburg, St. Maarten, because of a "technical issue" — one that apparently affected the plumbing system Wednesday night.
The ship's captain isn't letting people off, according to the Coast Guard, and passengers aren't pleased.
As Gregg Stark told CNN: "There's human waste all over the floor in some of the bathrooms and they're overflowing — and in the state rooms." (Sounds familiar.)
Carnival issued a statement about the incident Thursday morning, explaining that all services had been restored.
The cruise company is currently working to fly all 4,300 passengers back to Florida. They'll be refunded for three days and given 50 percent off another cruise.
