[B]Three Carnival cruise ships to aid Katrina relief[/B] WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- The U.S. government has chartered three luxury cruise liners -- Ecstasy, Sensation and Holiday -- for the next six months to provide temporary housing for victims of Hurricane Katrina, Carnival Cruise Lines said Saturday.

Two of the ships, the Ecstasy and Sensation, have a maximum capacity of 2,606 each and will be based in Galveston, Texas, while the third boat, the Holiday, has a maximum capacity of 1,800 and will likely be docked in Mobile, Alabama, the Miami-based company said.

I hope all the insurance is paid up in case the refugees make a mess out of them. Seems like a place for the diseases to spread rapidly. They should also do what it takes to prevent anymore of them from getting pregnant.

When the "refugees" get done, these ships will only be fit for use as garbage scows.

Niggers will fight for better cabins with better view. A fricking floating zoo. They should charge admittance to humans to visit these primates. Let them fight too for entertainment of the guests.

I bet they will need National Guard to keep order on those floating jails (or just keep niggers so pampered they don't even think about rioting and fighting).

Bad idea overall. Why not park them in an iceberg field and then going for it at full speed? :cool:

The bill for damage done by these savages to the ships will run into the millions. And the American taxpayer will foot the bill in the end.

We need, not 3, but 300 of these cruise ships. They dont need to be sea-worthy either, just floating long enough to get them loaded and depart...

What insanity has possessed Carnival? Not only will blacks trash the boats, but they'll blame Carnival for everything bad that they do. All I can figure is that someone in government offered them a whole bunch of our money.

Watcha gonna do, send them back to Africa?

That means hired, for pay. Why else would those cruise line companies rush to show up? Certainly not out of altruism.

FEMA is a check writing service, and the US Treasury generally honors the checks they write. So, yep, you nailed that dive.

It would not surprise me if these three ships were scheduled soon for refitting or scrapping. Might as well get boobus to pay for 'em, after all it's the Amer...er...Wall-mart way we operate now days.
