Coming soon to Netflix is a documentary that focuses around what soon became known as the “poop cruise”. And yes, the disgusting thoughts of what you might be thinking that involves are exactly correct.

The case happened in 2013, and honestly, it sounds completely traumatising. A luxury cruise soon met disaster when a fault meant it was stranded at sea. The fault then meant toilets couldn’t flush, and soon the flooding onboard was… beyond gross.

Netflix now has a documentary film all about what happened, coming later this month. Trainwreck: Poop Cruise will be released on June 24th. Here are all the details you need to know.

What happened on the infamous ‘Poop Cruise’?

The disaster happened on the Carnival Triumph ship, on February 10th 2013. The ship suffered a fire in an engine room. This then knocked out the cruise liner’s power.

The boat drifted – without power – for four days in total. For the whole time guests and staff were without air conditioning, and largely without lights, water, food or working toilets.

The trailer for the Netflix doc has revealed people were told to “do a number one in the shower” and a “poop in a red bag”. Biohazard bags were handed out to guests onboard to, erm, do their business in. Flooding began, and it wasn’t just water.

The Netflix synopsis reads: “It was supposed to be a luxury cruise: A four-day round trip from Galveston, Texas to Cozumel, Mexico. But for the 4,000+ passengers and crew on board, the reality proves catastrophically different. After an engine room fire destroys electrical cables supplying the entire ship, the boat is left drifting with no power for propulsion, refrigeration, lighting, air-conditioning, or, worst of all … flushing toilets.”

It continues: “Soon, raw sewage leaks all over the ship, food supplies start dwindling, and passengers begin to revolt. The cruise company races to control the fallout, but the damage is done: The media can’t get enough of the ‘poop cruise’.”
