Carnival Cruise Passengers Arrested for Elephant Tranquilizers
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Doug Parker reports on several developments in the cruise industry for July 23. Four United States passengers aboard a Carnival Cruise Line vessel were arrested in Bermuda for allegedly possessing various drugs. The items seized included cannabis, vape pens, suspected THC gummies, and carfentanil, which is a potent opioid used to sedate large animals like elephants. Bermuda police officials noted that even small amounts of carfentanil can be lethal. Carnival maintains a zero tolerance drug policy and reminds guests to follow local laws. In other news, Carnival celebrated a milestone as two ships, the Carnival Glory and Carnival Conquest, docked at the new Celebration Key private destination in Grand Bahama. This 65 acre resort represents a 600 million dollar investment for the company. Additionally, the Crown Iris was forced to cancel a scheduled port stop in Greece due to pro Palestinian protests at the dock. The ship remained anchored for safety before redirecting to Cyprus. Finally, the report notes mixed performance in cruise stocks, with Royal Caribbean and Norwegian seeing gains while Carnival Corporation and Viking experienced declines.
