People are just realizing the most disgusting secret about Carnival Poop Cruise came AFTER the Netflix special

Various TikTokers have posted videos of themselves realizing that they inadvertently went on the infamous 'Poop Cruise' featured on the recent Netflix documentary years after the actual disaster.
The revolting TV episode released Tuesday catalogued from start to finish the doomed voyage of the Carnival Triumph in February 2013.
The ship was meant to embark on a four day sojourn out of New Orleans, Louisiana throughout the Gulf of Mexico.
But, on day four, an electrical fire broke out and engulfed the ship's electrical cables in flames. Those cables powered its entire electrical system including the power, refrigeration, propulsion, air conditioning and the power to flush the toilets.
What came next was five days of utter anarchy, characterized by open sewage flooding onto the decks, people having sex out in the open, and fights over a waning food supply.
However, at the end of the documentary, it was revealed that this cursed ship was not actually retired from Carnival's fleet.
Instead, the company spent $115million to clean and repair the ship. Then, it was renamed 'Sunrise' and has been in service ever since.
One content creator, Sarah Elizabeth, posted pictures of her June 2022 cruise and showed that she had in fact sailed on the Carnival Sunrise.

'Just watched this on @Netflix and realized the first cruise we EVER went on in 2022 was in fact the infamous POOP CRUISE. I'm dead. Hahah,' she wrote in the caption of the TikTok video.
Another TikToker, Thomas Adrianna, said she sailed on the Sunrise in 2024 out of the ship's home port in Miami.
'Guess what boat I was on last year. The Carnival Sunrise. On top of that, our boat actually flooded the day before our cruise and we still went because they claimed that our floor wasn't affected. Y'all I can't believe they had us on that s****y a** boat,' she said.
A third woman who went on Sunrise with her family posted a rapid slideshow of her experiences on the ship.
The comments on these videos ranged from people sharing their own experiences on the Sunrise, good and bad, to others asking if the ship still smelled.
'Can't convince me they were able to clean the dookie out of every crevice,' one person commented.
Daily Mail approached Carnival for comment and received a statement that said: 'Carnival Triumph, like two other ships in the same class, was renamed after a $200million bow-to-stern transformation. The ship re-emerged with major upgrades and enhancements as Carnival Sunrise in 2019 - six years after the 2013 incident. This was also well publicized and celebrated at the time, with a naming ceremony that took place in New York City.'
The Netflix documentary was released on Tuesday as an episode in the running Netflix series 'Trainwreck,' which has looked at several different disasters.
Past episodes covered the crowd crush at Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival and Woodstock '99, a music festival in upstate New York tainted by sexual violence and inadequate sanitation.
Viewers of the 'Poop Cruise' episode were particularly horrified at how quickly social order broke down once it became clear the ship wasn't going anywhere.
Makeshift tent cities sprang up because there was no air conditioning in the ship. People dragged their mattresses out to the top and used their sheets to create shade for themselves. This mad dash led to fights over space on the deck.
When it came to the crew's request for people to poop in bags because the toilets weren't working, viewers were outraged that some passengers felt they were above doing that.
This, of course, led to toilets overflowing onto the decks and creating a stench so horrific that people reported being unable to stand being in the interior of the ship.
Help finally arrived for them on Valentine's Day - February 14, 2013. Tug boats ushered the floundering ship for the Gulf to a nearby port in Mobile, Alabama, miles away from the cruise's original docking point.
Carnival's statement to Daily Mail concluded: 'The Carnival Triumph incident over 12 years ago was a teachable moment for the entire cruise industry. A thorough investigation following the incident revealed a design vulnerability which was corrected and led Carnival Cruise Line to invest more than $500million across our entire fleet in comprehensive fire prevention and suppression, improved redundancy, and enhanced management systems, all in support of our commitment to robust safety standards.
'This is in addition to our vigorous Health, Environmental, Safety and Security (HESS) protocols that guide the entire Carnival Corporation fleet as we maintain our commitment to industry leadership in this area. We are proud of the fact that since 2013 over 53 million guests have enjoyed safe and memorable vacations with us, and we will continue to operate to these high standards.'
