Passengers OUTRAGED! Carnival’s 2025 ‘Scam’ Is Getting Worse… === #cruisenow #cruise #cruiseship #carnival === Passengers OUTRAGED! Carnival’s 2025 ‘Scam’ Is Getting Worse… Carnival is facing more serious problems than ever before… from unexpected incidents to a worrying rise in crime on board its ships. Could this be the warning sign that passengers should truly start worrying when booking a Carnival cruise? Let’s dive deeper into the shocking numbers and the stories behind them… But before we dive into the main topic, don’t forget to hit that subscribe button to help me reach my first milestone of 5000 2000 subscribers, and like if you find the video useful. It really means a lot and gives me the motivation to keep improving both the content and video editing. Thank you so much! Passengers OUTRAGED! Carnival’s 2025 ‘Scam’ Is Getting Worse… Once again, Carnival Cruise Line has become a name that sparks concern, leading the list of cruise companies with the highest crime rates in 2025. The latest report from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) shows that Carnival continues to hold on to this unwanted “crown” — a position no passenger ever wants to see their cruise line occupy. The last time Carnival was surpassed was back in the second quarter of 2022, when Royal Caribbean temporarily took the top spot. According to the Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act, the DOT is required to release quarterly reports on crimes reported to the FBI that occur on cruise ships. And just in the first three months of 2025 alone, a total of **48 crimes** were documented across all cruise lines — a number that should make anyone who loves ocean travel stop and think. Passengers OUTRAGED! Carnival’s 2025 ‘Scam’ Is Getting Worse… Here’s the breakdown by cruise line: * Carnival Cruise Line: 12 cases (the highest of all lines) * Royal Caribbean: 9 cases * Princess Cruises: 6 cases * Disney Cruise Line: 6 cases * Norwegian Cruise Line: 5 cases * MSC Cruises: 5 cases * Celebrity Cruises: 3 cases * Virgin Voyages: 2 cases
