room so we were okay, pretty much. but we were very concerned. greta: go ahead. and we looked, we looked for the life vests for sure. greta: kim, i suspect there s some people who sort of grin and bear it. some people who are really angry and some people are really scared. is that a fair assessment that denver people responded differently? absolutely people responded differently. there were many people that, you know, were able to make the best of it. i had he say most people were able to make the best of the situation. we really didn t have a choice. but it was very frightening with the fire occurred. many people went to the muster stations and stayed there, even after we were told to go back to the rooms, people stayed at the muster station, but it was very frightening and you know, i hope there s been rumors that there may have been problems with the engine before on this ship.
get home soon. thank you for joining us. thanks, greta. bye-bye. greta: and we ve got our phone connection back with debra jordan with bob barton, two friends who decided to take a last minute vacation and never expected that this would happen. so, tell me, why, any thoughts on taking last minute vacations again? no, not, not at all. i think i m i m sorry? so you re fine on that? i am fine on that. and what i was about to say earlier was that our particular situation was probably different than most of the ship because we were on a higher floor with a balcony and we did have ventilation and light and i had flashlights and the food was plentiful. it was a little aggravating waiting in line sometimes, but we did have lobster for lunch and dinner today. so, all in all, our experience, i believe, was different than most folks. there were some, some real discomfort on the ship, but we
and i was telling you earlier, fortunately i brought a flashlight so lighting was not a problem for us, but i imagine it was for the other folks because you can t see the hand in front of your face in the cabin. greta: and what. if you opened your door and then the person across the way opened their door from the balcony you would get some light in and a breeze, a cross breeze, but for the people on below decks where they didn t have any balconies, nobody opening the doors across from you, no doors or ventilation whatsoever and the plumbing didn t work. unlivable, unlivable. greta: good luck packing in the dark because that s a challenge as well and actually got flashlights. we re completely packed and ready to go, thank you. greta: i bet you are, i bet you have been for days, anyway, thank you both and good luck. thank you. greta: minutes ago we heard from carnival cruise lines ceo and just this minute, an ambulance is entering the

you know, serious conditions differently and having more information sometimes helpful when you understand it. was she afraid that her life was in jeopardy during part of this? she kept thinking that the ship was tilting. she kept feeling, she was thinking that they were losing balance and felt like the it was tipping and that s what she kept telling me and i kept trying to reassure her and calm her down, that everything will be okay and no, the ship is not tilting. so, we feel it, we feel it. that was back on sunday evening. greta: and you spoke to her on monday and a second ago. did you talk to her between monday and tonight? between monday and no, he no, monday was the last time we spoke and then today was the next time that we spoke. greta: why were you able to speak? had she lost her cell phone coverage or. yeah, they were only able to get service when there was a ship close by and they he
