Netflix's latest documentary unpacks the 2013 'poop cruise,' in which a Carnival cruise ship was stranded at sea for days without working toilets. EW details its most gut-churning revelations.

I’m not sure what exactly I was expecting from the new Netflix documentary Trainwreck: Poop Cruise, but I didn’t expect it to be quite as big of a nightmare as it is. For a few weeks, since I first heard about the documentary, which came out this week as part of the 2025 television schedule, I’ve been joking with co-workers about it.
