Ep 75: Trainwreck: Poop Cruise (2025)

Season 1, Ep. 75

"Ship Happens" 

Anchors aweigh and plumbing in disarray! This week, we recap Netflix’s Trainwreck: Poop Cruise—the story of the Carnival Triumph, aka the floating porta-potty that gave new meaning to “all-inclusive.”

We walk through every septic twist of the eight-day nightmare: failed systems, nonexistent plans, PR spin that smelled worse than the ship, and passengers praying over bagged poop. From the moment the engine failed to the glorious tugboat rescue, we break down how this luxury vacation turned into a literal hot mess.
