Find us on facebook, twitter, our handle is cnnbottomline, my handle is christineromans. Is pushing the maij what you do if awe the minimum wage what you do if you cant figure out how to create new jobs. Ill be back this afternoon on your money at 1 00 p. M. Cnn saturday morning continues right now. Good saturday morning to you, im Susan Hendricks in for randi kaye. It is 10 00 on the east coast, 7 00 out west. An investigation into what turned a dream vacation into a nightmare. After days of agony at sea, thousands are finally home. The crippled cruise sliern labo a shipyard. We have more from susan candiotti. You have an update on the investigation . Reporter yes, you can see the triumph over my shoulder in the distance. That ship has 13 decks. This is the first full day that the triumph is at the boat yard. A team from the coast guard as well as the National Transportation safety board will be going over many, many things. Among them, going over every inch of the engine room where the fire brought out on sunday night turning, as you said, this cruise into a nightmare. When we investigate things like that, sometimes we find that the smallest thing will cause a a major problem. And that might be what we find in this case. The investigations still going on. Reporter and investigators will also be going over something called the voyage data recorder which preserves among other things all the conversations that took place on the bridge. It also records all the systems, Automated System that the ship runs under so they can examine that, as well. Of course, looking at the past history of the ship and past repairs. Susan . Do we know if theres been a previous mechanical issue with the triumph . Are they saying that . Reporter well, most recently, we know there were problems back in january and february of this year. Within the last couple of months. One of those involved what they call an alternator. Another involved the propulsion system. At least theali alternator was fixed before they set sail. Reporter anything else that carnival is doing to repair their image with passengers and future passengers . Reporter certainly by everyones account, this has been a Public Relations nightmare for the cruise line. What they have done for the passengers, remember, as soon as this happened, was announced a full refund. In addition, theyll get a 500 in cash as well as a full discount on future cruises that anyone might want to take with them that was involved in this horrible mess. So thats certainly that sghd a long way to help repairing their image. And this is clearly something they hope they can bounce back from. I hope so. Some of the people i spoke to say no, thanks, no more cruises for us. Susan candiotti, thank you. Appreciate it. Reporter youre welcome. To russia, they are cleaning up the debris from that shocking meteor explosion. Take a look. [ screams ] terrifying moments inside of a school in russia. The shockwave from the exploding meteor broke windows through the area. As many as 3,000 buildings were damaged, and 1,000 people were injured. Flying glass is blamed for most of the injuries. Emergency officials from moscow are there now assessing the damage to the area. Authorities have also blocked off a nearby lake. That is where they think the largest chunk of that meteor came down. In california now, investigators say the renegade cop blamed for a murderous spree likely killed himself. Christopher dorners charred remains were found in a burned out cabin after tuesdays standoff with police. He died from a single gunshot wound to the head. Nick valencia joins me again. You were there as the saga was unfolding in big bear. Turns out he was hiding near where the police were. Yeah. Less than 100 yards away. I know we use the term chilling a lot in the media. But i literally got the chills when a looked behind me. I saw less than 100 yards separated the command center from where chris dorner was hiding out under their noses. Its amazing when you consider how Many Police Officers were looking for chris dorner. As many as 125 Police Officers as well as planes that used body heat sensors to find him. Even though he was there under there. Nick, take us back to the day where you heard something and, therefore, you communicated what you knew to the officers themselves. Yeah. I was actually in the northeast part of l. A. At the time that i heard there was a shootout between chris dorner and police. I was running past officers as all journal lifts run past breaking news. I said to Police Officers, dorners in a shootout with some of your boys, the lapd officers. I broke the news to some, it was a surreal experience to have done that. Youre right. That is chilling. In the big bear area, you found some residents didnt know what was going on. Others were terrified of this man. One thing i wanted to point out, i actually spoke to someone who said they supported chris dorner. On line there was support that came forward for chris dorner. I said, how could you support a man who killed two innocent people . They said, dont mistake my support for chris dorner for my disdain for the Los Angeles Police department. Theres a lot of people that think even though chris donorer is dead now, his allegations of donor is dead now, his allegations of corruption and abuse arent. Its outrageous to support anyone who would kill other people and officers. This person stood by his belief and claim. A 1 million reward, nick. Wheres it going . We just dont know that now. That could be another black eye and stain on the reputation of the lapd. This Million Dollars was pulled together. More than 20 people will have a say in where it goes. Does it go to the couple that was tied up, to the man that was carjacked . Maybe does it go back into the city . There was hundreds of hours of overtime used by the Los Angeles Police department. Its going to be a very expensive bill once that comes out. It wasnt from taxpayers. It was from donors. It was from donors and private groups. The caveat to this all, no arrests, no conviction. Perhaps no money. Theres one person that has says he believes he deserves the reward money and is willing to split it with a couple that was tied up where dorner was staying. We dont know now. Theres no confirmation about where the money will go. I know two of the cops have young children. Maybe it will go to the families. We shall see. Nick valencia, thank you. Appreciate it. Overseas now where the olympic hero known as blade runner is spending the weekend in jail until his bond hearing on tuesday. Oscar pistorius is charged with killing his model girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, on valentines day. Despite her death, a Reality Tv Show starring steher will air. Im talking about mansions and models. Seven celebrities and seven lucky winners will live your island dream. Paradise is not a preview of the show. Earl barnett joins us from johannesburg. And isste steenkemps family speaking out . The show will premiere in a few hours. We havent heard from them but following the tragic news of her death, they said they would like the media to respect their privacy at this difficult time. Should be noted, Reeva Steenkamp was a bikini cover model, gracing the covers of south africas fhm version and the like. Still, though, some are wondering if it wasnt inappropriate for the producers and organizers of the program to continue with the airing of the show even though the woman has been killed. The executive producer defends the decision and says actually its a way for the rest of south africa to see and appreciate her beauty and intelligence. They think its helpful. And it will be preceded by a tribute for reeva. An attorney for naft Oscar Pistorius says hes denying the allegations in the strongest terms. A lot of people have a hard time believing the accusations against this guy. Reporter its just quite shocking. I mean, the reports are that this woman was shot multiple times in his home. How, were wondering and well find out, can Oscar Pistorius defend those actions . You see, here in south africa hes such an inspirational figure, this paralympic runner who made it to the olympics. A former girlfriend of his his taken to twitter to defend his character. Janea adkins tweeted, i want to say ive dated oscar on and off for five years. Not once has he ever lifted a finger to me as people speculate. This was a domestic disturbance . Other paralympic athletes are saying the man they know was an inspirational one. Listen to this the things hes done for me, hes changed my life. Not only me but millions and millions of people in the world. And he started a legacy. And i i hope people dont forget his legacy. Reporter and the truth is, we just wont know anything about what happened in Oscar Pistorius home on valentines day until the hearings resume on tuesday. Thats when we will possibly hear a defense and a plea. Until then, though, he will remain in jail, and his slain girlfriend will now only be seen on a realty program. Shocking is a term ive heard in relation to this tragic case. Thanks. Cruise lines are hoping you remember a little less of the cruise from hell and a little more of this.

If you get travel deals in your email, youve probably got one like this yesterday advertising, what else, but cruises with cutrate prices. In the wake of the illfated triumph cruise lines, royal crib to celebrity are dropping rates and hope to lure passengers like you back by reminding you how fun and affordable cruises can be. How do you make sure were getting a good deal . Here to help us is travel expert and contributing editor from Budget Travel reed bramblet. Great to have you here. Its a pleasure to be here. There are great deals out there now. If someones looking to take a cruise now, where do you find them . You find them can he cruise discounters. We have a graphic i know with cruises4 cruises411, cruise brothers, theyre about everywhere. You can get cruises in the caribbean for 179, 189 which for four four days, three nights. And not just on carnival which is discounting its cruises majorly to get more business drummed up. You can get them on holland america, royal caribbean, just about anyone. The other cruise lines are reacting to what happened with carnival and hoping that people wont shy away from taking a cruise because of what happened. There are always going to be inexpensive cruises in the western caribbean to the bahamas. Certainly in a time like this when theyre worried that people might be hery about cruising, area leery about cruising, theyre giving great prices so people say you cant not cruise because of the prices. Some packages may look like a deal but theyre not really. How do you tell the difference . Well, i would say that one thing thats not a great deal is the inside cabin. Thats always the lead price, the big price and splashy numbers that they put up on the ads. For just 5 , 10 , 15 more money, you get a sea view. When youre cruising, you want the sea view. You can look for scams or things that are bait and switch on the cruise message boards, cruisecritic and cruisemates. Com. I would say that the real things that arent bargains is everything besides the cabin. The cruiselines do not make money on selling you the cabin which is why theyre cheap. They make money on Everything Else that happens once you leave the cabin. So when you buy your alcohol at the bar or at the restaurant, when you gamble, the house always wins when you gamble on the ship. There are ways to get around that. You can, of course, buy wine packages with your meals that less s less than buying bottles. When you do drinking in port at ports of call. At restaurants, a lot of cruise lines offering a la carte restaurant or for an upgrade you can teater higheat at the highe restaurants which brings the class system to cruising. You can just stick to the buffet. Shore excursions is another big moneymaker for the cruise lines. You can go to independent shore excursion booking Companies Like port campus and viatour. Com. You can book a tour with fellow cruise passengers and pay 40 less on the same bus. Theres a high markup the cruise lines take. When you book the cruise, there may be fine print people never read. What kind of rights are people giving away when they do sign the sdplakcontracts . Are you signing away many rights. Its many pages long, many pages of fine print. The reason i know people are starting to sue carnival over the incident. Theyre not going to get much headway in court unless there is physical injury done. Its hard to prove the Emotional Distress which they undoubtedly went through over the five days. But when you sign that rite of passage, the cruise line pretty much covers itself legally. They are required to refund your money, thats about it. I know theyre giving people 500 as well and credits for a future cruise should they want to cruise again. Do you think that the debacle with carnival will kind of permanently damage the cruise industry or do you think people soon forget about that . I think people soon forget. This happened time and again. Happened in carnival in 2010 with the splendor, this time off the mexican coast and pacific ocean. Their profits were up 11 that year over 2009. They had the costa concordia. Costa is a carnival company, princess. 32 people died on the costa concordia. It was the biggest news story for days. The ship is still off the coast of tuscany listing. Yet they took a dent, yes, in profits, but they made only 1 billion last year versus 1. 9 billion the year before. The cruise industry is still on trook grow about 8 on track to grow about 8 a year as its been doing since the love boat came out on tv. Theyre chugging along thanks to captain stubing. To the asteroid that narrowly missed earth, though maybe not so close, around 17,000 miles away. This is what it looked like through a highpowered telescope.
