When Luxury Cruising Goes Wrong

Interviews with people whose luxury cruises ended in disaster, including the story of a family on a voyage around the Gulf of Mexico that ended in misery when the ship caught fire and lost power, leaving them and almost 3,000 passengers stranded at sea for days. Dubbed the 'poop cruise', instead of sipping cocktails in the lap of luxury, they had to endure the stench of raw sewage backed-up on deck. Narrated by Glynis Barber

When Luxury Cruising Goes Wrong airs on 5 HD at 3:00 AM, Monday 29 December. (Subtitles, repeat.)
