Really bad metaphore about our server.

As a customer - I will sue your ass until the ship is mine - then make it to scrap.
As a captain - I will help the customer in that case - cause working condition to that ship are really bad
and prevent me from doing my job properly.

Hope you got what you looked for Arion.

Simple the boat would never sail with passengers until it has sea trials and all these problems were fixed cause no insurer would ever insure it and would drop that companys business in a rapid fashion

The captain would not sail if above trials were not done its not worth losing his reputation

So as a company, the owners sent out 5 ships knowing full well that it's not seaworthy/passenger taking worthy?

They must have iron danglers. <This one could get the post removed>

So this is what i get from the post ---

1) There are some switches which turn the lights on to some other room.
2) Faulty wiring leading to risk of fire of malfunction of critical equipment.
3) Hygiene system dumping waste in sea.
4) Switches missing in some rooms.

It's a cruise. You have rich people on it. rich people like to get their money's worth.
So first of all, the company will get sued to the points of infinity because the richies can.

The company would be under investigation by the proper authority. Their license to send ships out to sea would be under question by the same authorities.

You as the person responsible for the faults will be charged with felony along with your employers because you knowingly let the ship go out to sea when it was obviously not seaworthy, and you as the chief engineer who designed it, is liable to tell your employers that the Cruise should not go on.
Of course you will say the owners forced you to do it, but they are rich and you are the small fish. So you'll be the one crucified for Felony, larceny and voluntary manslaughter (if someone dies during the cruise)

You have pissed off Green Peace for polluting and endangering Ocean flora and fauna. The country whose waters you would have polluted by dumping waste, will sue your company. As usual they will go scot free and you will be charged with destruction of protected environment life.

Unless the company is an idiot, every ship's first engineer and captain will have Absolutely all the details of the ship with them at all times. And since it's 2013, AND it's a cruise, i'm assuming it has a radio over which people can share ideas to solve any emergency situation.

Also, unless the company is an idiot, they will have first rate engineers on board every ship. And usually, faulty wiring and such is not rocket science.

You used a model for another audience which worked on them and applied to people from different ideologies? I don't know who hired you, but if I was the owner, i'd like to see you fired for endangering the lives and/or well-being, health and happiness of my customers, and ensure you never get a job anywhere else.

As a captain, he would work hard to make sure the customers remain happy. (It's not like he/she cares for the ship, since if he/she did, they wouldn't have allowed to put the ship out to sea. It is obvious that they only care about the profit, so that's that.)

The customer Liasion officer would offer full refunds to all the passengers to ensure that their company does not get bad press.

I think I missed one critical point, being the fallout from this debacle.

As the person above my post, has so pointedly singled out, the company would have a hard time finding insurers for them.
