Trainwreck: Poop Cruise OTT Release Date - What began as a dream vacation turned into a floating nightmare. Netflix's upcoming documentary, Trainwreck: Poop Cruise, set to premiere on June 24, 2025, revisits the infamous 2013 Carnival Triumph incident that left over 4,000 passengers stranded in appalling conditions.
This is the third instalment in Netflix's eight-part Trainwreck anthology series, which delves into real-life events that spiralled into media frenzies. Directed by James Ross, read on to know everything we know so far about this title.
In February 2013, the Carnival Triumph set sail from Galveston, Texas, for a four-day cruise to Cozumel, Mexico. Midway through the journey, a fire erupted in the aft engine room, disabling the ship's power and propulsion systems. Without electricity, the vessel lost air conditioning, refrigeration, and, most distressingly, functioning toilets.
As raw sewage began to seep into passenger areas, the ship drifted aimlessly in the Gulf of Mexico. Food supplies dwindled, and the stench became unbearable. The dire conditions led to the media dubbing it the "Poop Cruise". Passengers endured five days of squalor before the ship was towed to Mobile, Alabama. Investigations revealed that a fuel leak from a diesel generator, overdue for maintenance, was the fire's cause.
Trainwreck is a Netflix documentary series that explores some of the most bizarre and sensational events that captivated the public. Each episode stands alone, offering an in-depth look into incidents like the Astroworld Festival tragedy, the Balloon Boy hoax, and the viral "Storm Area 51" event. Through interviews, archival footage, and firsthand accounts, the series examines how these events unfolded and the media's role in amplifying them.
