The film covers the Carnival Triumph ship - which departed from Galveston, Texas, and set sail to Cozumel, Mexico for a four-night stay in Feb. 2013.

Passengers were stranded for about five days until finally making it to Mobile, Alabama.

A Carnival spokesperson told Fox News Digital the incident from over 12 years ago was a teachable moment for the entire cruise industry. 

Stewart Chiron, a Miami-based cruise industry expert known as "The Cruise Guy," told Fox News Digital the Carnival Triumph disaster was an unfortunate situation.

Chiron said the incident "highlighted the significant safety measures available at that moment in time and lessons learned, as it has never happened again."

"The ship did exactly what it was supposed to do and preserved lives," he added. 

Viewers have taken to social media to share comments about the outrageous incident. 

"Not me, watching the Netflix documentary about the 2013 carnival cruise that turned into a poop cruise," said one woman on X.

Another X user posted, "OK, listen, hear me out. Other than the crew, who all seemed GREAT, these people seemed unbearable and really dramatic."

One X user wrote, "'Trainwreck: Poop Cruise' on Netflix is a perfect documentary to show how Americans would not be surviving a war on their soil for a single week."

An X user posted, "Oh, the entitled cruise passengers are the worst!"
