Carnival Cruiser Loses It

Editorial Summary

Host Tony discusses several unusual incidents occurring within the cruise industry. He begins by describing a passenger in Cozumel who jumped from a pier into the water during the reboarding process, noting that the individual appeared to be swimming fine despite potentially hitting their head. The show then covers a situation in Nome, Alaska, where 229 passengers on the Holland America Line Noordam were unable to disembark due to heavy fog and a damaged tender boat. Moving to Australia, the host explains how a Carnival Splendor cruise missed its port of call at Moreton Island because no pilot was available to navigate the ship, resulting in the cruise line providing monetary compensation to passengers. The episode also addresses a policy change by P&O Cruises Line in the UK regarding excess alcohol being thrown away rather than held. Finally, the host details a legal situation in the Bahamas where six passengers chose to pay 52,000 dollars in fines rather than face jail time following a brawl at a police station. Tony concludes by questioning if a universal no-sail list should exist to prevent passengers involved in altercations from cruising again.
