This nightmare at sea has lasted five days or more than four thousand people aboard that ship. But it is not quite over yet. It will take official several hours to get the passengers off the ship, and then they will have to be bused back to galveston taxes where their crewsuise from hell began. That is the best way to sum it up for all those 4000 people on the boat. It finally came in to port in mobile alabama about 45 minutes ago, but so far we have yet to see any of the faces that have endured this trip. This small port in mobile is not equipped to welcome of vessel the size of the triumph. This is a mass of cruise ship and this small port is not ready to welcome a ship of that size. The ceos said he is on the boat right now talking to the passengers but he said he wanted to apologize facetoface, and after they finally get the vessel secure, it should take 15 to 20 minutes before we start seeing people set foot on dry ground. Heres a sample of what those people are feeling we did what they are hearing from that ceo. I know the conditions on board were very poor and i know its very difficult. I want to apologize again for subjecting our guests to that. We provide our we pride ourselves on providing our guest with a great vacation experience, and clearly we failed in this particular case. Some say once they are able to set foot on dry ground, they will be met with blankets, fully powered cell phones, and more food. Then it is on two chartered buses that will either drive them to new orleans or galveston. What a nightmare has been. And what is perhaps the most striking image of desperation passengers use their own bodies to beg for help. As we get our first glimpses inside the deplorable luxury liner, one passenger captured a sound to help describe the smell. I could start to smell it, and it smelled like sewage. That is how you explain it. I guess the toilets were leaking from the top to the bottom down the ship, and it got really bad. It ran through the elevator. It was stripping so bad it sounded like it was raining. An engine fire knocked out electricity some four days ago. The nearly 4000 passengers were left without water and cucumber and onion sandwich as for food. No power means no toilet, and now the corridors are filled with urine and feces. Some passengers even told to relieve themselves in tubs and sinks, leaving the ship involved in stench. It is a mixture of sewage and rodding food, depending on where you are in the ship. Now able to finally put all that behind them. We want to take you back out live to the scene in mobile alabama, where there has been no shortage of excitement from people on the boat and those on the dock there waiting to receive their loved ones. Very excited to finally be backed. That is what we are talking right there, some of the homemade signs they made using their toiletries and sheets. We should be seeing these passengers off that vote finally in the next four to five hours. What an ordeal. Only on 7 tonight, just minutes before the trial of dr. And mobile, we spoke with an Arlington Woman who has lived through this nightmare just moments before the triumph docked in mobile. She gives us her exclusive story tonight. Sabrina said she is really tired and ready to get off that vote. This was supposed to be a fine college reunion. She was meeting friends from all over the world on the ship, but it has turned out to be anything but fun. Tonight, sabrina tells us things on the carnival triumph have gone from bad to worse. She could not be more ready to get on dry land. I will not be on a body of water any time soon. She said a few bathrooms work, sometimes. Sabrinas says many people are just resorting to doing their business in biohazard bags. She says the cruise line has done a poor job rationing food and medicine. She said the worst thing are the employees. A few are nice, but many have turned testy. At the same time, they are customer service. They are supposed to help us. She said the fire affected the floor her captain was on more than others, so she has been sleeping where she can. I spent the first three night in lawn chairs. Despite all that, she and her College Friends are trying to stay positive. We are trying to just laugh and make the best of the situation. Unfortunately sabrinas ordeal is not over yet. Tonight she is planning on taking a couple of our bus ride to new orleans and it appears tomorrow she will probably fly back to houston and from there make her way back to the d. C. Area. She will need a vacation to get over this vacation. Thanks for that. Family and friends of those passengers have been waiting at the port in mobile, alabama for hours now. We have been watching how folks on board that ship seemed to be in pretty good spirits despite howls hellish it seems to be. What are you seeing on the shore . We are just seeing a lot of excitement. As soon as the ship pulled into the dock we heard screaming and cheering. The first thing i could make out what someone saying, happy valentines day. They are shouting their messages and cheering as well. Are you hearing anything at all about carnival, the company, and how they have handled this so far . People are very upset about how this was handled. They are being given reimbursed for the cruise and being given 500. Many are saying that is just insulting, that they deserve so much more for what the people on board have endured. While the carnival ceo just apologized, he has gone on board to apologize to the passengers. Some feel they just have not done enough. I am not sure how close you are to its, but can you smell it from where you are standing right now . No, we cannot smell it from where we are, but we have heard reports of just how awful it is on board that ship. I am sure we will be hearing many more of those stories as the passengers are finally able to disembark in the next few hours. We will check back with you later on.
