Btw, Costa is owned by Carnival. Obviously.

Carnival seems to have an unusually large list of mishaps. I found the following list at:
http://www.cruiseshipfires.com/index.html .
Carnival Celebration Fire- 1995
Carnival Ecstasy Fire- 1998
Carnival Tropicale Fire- 1999
Carnival Celebration Fire- 2000
Carnival Triumph Bomb- 2001
Carnival Spirit Explosion- 2007
Carnival Sensation Bomb- 2007
Carnival Freedom Fire- 2007
Carnival Ecstasy Fire- 2009
Carnival Imagination Fire 2010
Carnival Freedom Fire- 2010
Carnival Sensation Bomb- 2010
Carnival Fascination Bomb- 2010
Carnival Splendor Fire- 10/2010
Carnival Splendor Fire- 11/2010
Carnival Elation Bomb- 2011
Carnival Imagination Bomb 2011
Carnival Triumph Fire- 2/2013
Notice many ships are repeat offenders. Also, I am not surprised at all the bomb threats considering how many
disgruntled former passengers there must be.
Additionally, a yahoo search of "carnival cruise accidents" returned countless links to every type of imaginable accident. I never realized there are so many accidents, but no doubt they are hushed up as much as possible. All I know, is I will stay away from Carnival. They seem to have little regard for their passengers.
