Example of weaknesses that Carnival Corporation & plc has is their safety record. In early 2012, the Costa Concordia struck off the coast of Isola del Giglio, Italy. In 2013, Carnival Cruise Line’s Triumph reported a fire, which left the ship adrift in the Gulf of Mexico (Carnival Corporation & plc SWOT Analysis, 2016). Among the other cruises, Carnival Cruise Lines have notably been the worse. In 2009, the Center for Disease Control tracked all major outbreaks, about 56% on Carnival cruise lines compared to a 48% average market share from 2009-2011. The company is also accounted for worse safety record for persons lost at sea.

Charlotte Doyle had no idea that one trip on a ship could change you drastically? Avi’s, The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle shows how one ride across the Atlantic Ocean could be horrific, enjoyable, smelly, and depressing. Throughout Charlotte’s ship ride on the Seahawk, her friends, actions, clothes, and the way she viewed people changed. Her friends changed from Captain Andrew Jaggery, to the crew, her actions changed from proper to laid-back, and her clothes became dirty. Charlotte’s adventure on the Seahawk changed her in many ways.
On top of all the negligence the ship owner was still only worried about his benefit and collected an insurance payment on the ship that sank. This strengthens the argument that he probably knew this ship would not make it. The ship owner’s greed cost the lives of the crew on board. Clifford in the essay says, “The unjustified beliefs affect many people, and that it is therefore clear that those beliefs were culpably wrong”(Clifford PAGE MUNBER). Clearly the situation of the ship owner is demonstrated here because the unjustified beliefs he had about the ship being ready to be sailed affected all the people on board the ship and their

In the top-left corner the piece reads, “only first class passengers carried”. While this could simply indicate that the cruise liner treats all passengers equally, it is much more probable that the words serve as a means to draw their intended audience, the exuberantly wealthy, in with the promise of an untainted paradise. The article, however, appeared in the newspaper, The Miami Herald. This implies that it was destined for a much larger audience, one that spans a more diverse, modern, and inquisitive audience. Similarly, the fact that Shors published the article in Miami suggests that his reading population will be more sympathetic to the suffering of Panamanians in the articles, as a large portion of Floridians are Hispanic in ethnicity.
A Night to Remember EBR #6 A Night to Remember by Walter Lord has a few cause and effect relationship, but the main one really leaves a big impact. The sinking was described as, “When the water reached her red and green running lights, they knew the end was near …but nobody dreamed it would be like this—the unearthly din, the black hull hanging at 90 degrees, the Christmas card backdrop of brilliant stars” (Lord 84).

The captain had the option of calling a tug boat, but there was a 15% chance that the tug boat would claim over the Ship. They could try to repair the ship but there was a 20% chance that it could not be repair and they could not wait to repair first and then call the tug boat because it would leave soon and would not be available (25% chance). The weather played a great part on this decision too, because if the weather went bad (20% chance) and they decided to repair and failed there was a chance that 50% of the crew would die. Even worse than that would be a storm (25% of chance) hit them and they lose steerage (25% chance), it would result in 100% of the crew dead.
