During one part of the movie, they have a camera shot across the deck of the cruise ship. In that shot the signature "Whale Tail" of the Carnival Cruise Line is shown. All other pictures of the ship are without that smokestack and do not resemble a Carnival cruise ship.

Dissapointing.

I really like movie's like this, you know monsters,ghosts,flesh eating animals, that sort of thing, But this movie was so far from all of that, it was almost a comedy rather then anything else. I mean put in to one word "Stupid" just plane stupid. Do not bother with this film trust me.
