It\u2019s like Ted Sarandos is some sort of landlubber.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=3615\">Tennessee Is Courting Paramount \u2014 And the Studio Is Considering It (Exclusive)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<em>The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> has extensively covered <em>Amy Bradley Is Missing<\/em>, released on July 16, 2025. For those spared the true-crime horror story, to summarize: In 1998, 23-year-old Amy Bradley vanished overnight from the Royal Caribbean\u00a0cruise ship she and her family were vacationing on. A search of the ship found no trace of Bradley, leading officials to believe she likely jumped or fell overboard on the way to Cura\u00e7ao. Her body was never found, however, and in the ensuing decades multiple people have reported seeing Bradley alive on several area islands.\u00a0<em>Amy Bradley Is Missing<\/em>\u00a0serves up compelling evidence that she may have instead been trafficked off the boat.<\/p>\n<p>\n<em>Trainwreck: Poop Cruise<\/em>, released on June 24, 2025, chronicled the absolutely disgusting \u2014 and legitimately dangerous \u2014 goings-on from the 2013 Carnival Triumph disaster. The ship departed from Galveston, Texas headed toward Cozumel, Mexico on a four-day pleasure trip, though it turned out to be anything but that. When an engine fire knocked out power and plumbing for five days, 4,000 passengers were stranded with overflowing sewage \u2014 including, yes, poop \u2014 spoiled food and unbearable heat. No one died, thank goodness, but it was a horrible ordeal.<\/p>\n<p>\n<em>Amy Bradley Is Missing<\/em> made Netflix\u2019s top 10 global series list for four weeks; <em>Trainwreck: Poop Cruise<\/em> did it twice (but for movies).<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAnd now we have <em>Shipwrecked: Nightmare at Sea<\/em>, which set sail on Netflix on Friday. In just its first two days, the feature-length doc racked up 9 million views, the streamer reported on Tuesday, second only to Millie Bobby Brown threequel <em>Enola Holmes 3<\/em> (12 million views over the fulls even days). <em>Shipwrecked: Nightmare at Sea<\/em> chronicles the harrowing ordeal faced by passengers and crew on the Costa Concordia (Costa Cruises is a Carnival subsidiary), which in January 2012 slammed into a giant rock just off the coast of Giglio Island, Italy, flooding the engine room, tipping over the boat, and causing 32 deaths. It is the worst modern cruise-ship disaster on record, and the documentary is a tough watch.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAs we say in the news business, three is a trend. In the content business, it starts to feel like an agenda. With its 325 million subscribers and the popularity of each of its recent cautionary tales, could Netflix capsize the cruise industry? (It probably wouldn\u2019t mind putting Disney Cruise Line out of business\u2026)<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cNot at all,\u201d cruise journalist Ashley Kosciolek told <em>THR<\/em>, immediately and completely killing my theory. \u201cCruises are more popular than ever. Fares are the highest they\u2019ve ever been because the demand is there [and] ships are booking out further in advance than they used to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=3614\">Writers Guild Sues to Block Paramount-Warner Bros. Merger<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tShe\u2019s right. Last year, a record-high 37.2 million people took an ocean cruise, according to industry group Cruise Lines International Association. The lobbyist organization estimates the number will reach 42.1 million by 2029. The two industry leaders (and the companies involved in the Netflix docs), Carnival and Royal Caribbean, each reported record revenues in 2025: $26.6 billion and $17.9 billion, respectively. That should fund a few backup generators.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThough the COVID-19 pandemic nearly ended the cruise industry, it ultimately created an urgency to hit the high seas once restrictions were rescinded.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cPeople shifted from \u2018I\u2019d like to cruise someday\u2019 to a \u2018Seize the day and book the trip\u2019 mentality,\u201d Kosciolek said.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tPlus, you\u2019re like 200 times more likely to be struck by lightning than to be involved in a catastrophic cruise ship occurrence.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cAnyone who cruises knows these are rare incidents,\u201d Kosciolek said. \u201cI think what the general public should understand is that ships are like small cities. They aren\u2019t immune to occasional danger or human error.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=3612\">FX and Hulu\u2019s \u2018Far Cry\u2019 Adds Steve Buscemi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tOK, but like, familiarize yourself with your muster station anyway, Mmkay?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Netflix has released 3 cruise-ship disaster docs in 13 months: Amy Bradley Is Missing, Trainwreck: Poop Cruise, and now Shipwrecked: Nightmare at Sea.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3616,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[2575,65,2576,2577],"class_list":["post-3617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting","tag-amy-bradley-is-missing","tag-netflix","tag-shipwrecked-nightmare-at-sea","tag-trainwreck-poop-cruise"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Is Netflix Trying to Sink the Cruise Industry?
