The Netflix documentary Trainwreck: Poop Cruise revisits the infamous Carnival cruise disaster from 2013, where passengers endured horrific conditions stranded at sea on a nearly powerless ship. Featuring personal accounts from passengers and crew, the film explores the chaos of overflowing waste and emergency reactions. Directed by James Ross, the documentary goes beyond mere entertainment, blending personal narratives, archival footage, and humor to reflect on the cruise industry's failures and the resilience of those involved. Despite its humor, it raises serious questions about safety protocols on cruise ships.
Tensions ran high, as did the levels of waste-water that seeped onto the boat as toilets failed to flush and passengers failed to poop into provided biohazard bags.
The streamer is angling to be your number one source for chronicles of high-profile failures - and also, in this case, your number two.
Poop Cruise director James Ross selects a few passengers and crew members to take us through the descent into the bowels of cruise hell.
These Trainwreck documentaries tend to be irresistible in subject matter and slightly malnourished in terms of insight; they're a cross between cultural-anthropology deep-dive and a VH1 I Love the '90s segment.
