Only time will tell with what resources were left to use AFTER a thorough investigation. And possibly made public. I am sure Carnival upper management, engineers, lawyers and to hedge the situation US Cost Guard were in the decision process on what to do. Remember the first consideration is saving lives, the passengers were uncomfortable ( different people have different levels/expectations of this) but all returned safe. And this might be why Mexico was taken out of the equation. Anyhow I guess we will see what the fine print that was accepted by the passengers is in due process.

SXM??? Wendell
