Creator's Key Takeaways

Carnival Cruise Line pushed back checking for Carnival Liberty by 2 hours due to a system issue impacting debarcation and imbarcation.

A couple from Brisbane and Australia was cruising with Royal Caribbean when they hit an onboard art auction run by Park West Gallery and won a signed Muhammad Ali glove for $5,000 Australian dollars.

Carnival Cruise Line hit some major fleetwide technical issues on February the 9th. And yes, it certainly slowed things down.

The good news, food, drinks, and fun are still very much operational.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Buyer beware when participating in onboard art auctions.
Arrive later for check-in if notified of system delays.

Carnival Liberty faces delayed check‑ins in New Orleans after a system issue slows debarkation and embarkation, a Brisbane couple raises concerns after receiving a different Muhammad Ali–signed glove than the one they won at a Park West art auction onboard a Royal Caribbean ship, and Carnival experiences fleetwide technical problems on February 9th, causing embarkation delays across multiple ports. A chaotic day behind the scenes, but the cruise world keeps moving.
