Nothing Like A 2-Hour Bus Ride After Spending Days Adrift On Stranded Carnival Cruise Ship
Passengers aboard what has been described as a hot, smelly ship will finally arrive on dry land in Mobile, Ala. sometime tonight after days on the stranded Carnival Triumph. But alas, there won’t be rest for the weary just yet. Despite the mayor of Mobile noting that his city also has hotels, passengers will either board a bus for a two-hour ride to New Orleans or a more than 7-hour ride to Galveston or Houston, Texas.

I would rent a car and go wherever I wanted to. If you have enough $$$$$$$ for a cruise then you can pay to rent a car and get a hotel room.

Carnival cruises are the cheapest in the cruising industry, 8 :17

You embarrass yourself and you don't even realize it. I bet you are an Obama supporter too.
When they come ashore, I'm certain the people have the option of getting on the bus or not.... I didn't see any chain gangs.
If they are the TOUR busses I have seen, they will be quite comfortable. The usual TOUR busses are first-class accommodations.

Passengers were given the option to board buses directly to Galveston or Houston or spend the night in a New Orleans hotel room. Those who opted to stay in New Orleans caught flights to Houston on Friday.
Carnival VP Terry Thornton said today that it as not 'logistically feasible' for passengers to remain in Mobile because of the volume of flights needed. However many tired and exhausted travelers opted to do so anyway.
Carnival is the "poor mans cruise line" If you really are interest in a nice time book another line. It is just like any other product line item...there a good ones and there are economy ones. You get what you pay for.
