DOOMED multi-year world cruise Villa Vie Odyssey just can’t seem to catch a break.

Originally meant to depart in May, the ship finally set sail after a four-month delay, but this didn’t stop the problems.

The latest drama to hit the passenger contingent came last week when the toilets onboard decided to stop working, causing the smell of sewage to permeate the corridors.

This led to some guests considering whether to abandon the idea of life at sea and leave the ship for good.

Some even dubbed the ship as the SS Clusterf**k, with some guests writing on online forums deeming the ship as like a “third-world country”.

“Yep, we awakened to the faint smell of s**t marinating in a hundred unflushed bowls, wafting through the corridors, gently mixing with the ocean breeze,” one forum entry said.
