Carnival Cruisers Won't Stop Complaining, Luggage Falls in Water

Editorial Summary

Doug Parker reports on several recent developments affecting cruise passengers and operations. Carnival Cruise Line addressed passenger grievances regarding cabin amenities and vaping regulations. Passengers expressed frustration on social media about the lack of fans in cabins, to which the company responded that providing them would be too costly. Carnival advised passengers to bring their own fans while following size restrictions. Additionally, the company confirmed that vaping is restricted to designated smoking areas, with violations resulting in the same consequences as traditional smoking. The report also covers an incident involving a Celebrity Cruises passenger named Lindsay. She alleged that the company lost her suitcase in the ocean near Amsterdam and failed to notify her. Although a port worker informed her the bag was floating in the harbor, the ship had already departed. Lindsay reported receiving no compensation or assistance from the cruise line. Finally, the news highlights a protest in Brittany, France, where activists from Stop Cruise Ships and Extinction Rebellion used boats to block the Seven Seas Voyager from entering a port. The blockade prevented seven hundred guests from debarking as part of a movement against cruise ship emissions. The segment concludes with a brief update on mixed stock performance for Carnival Corporation and Viking.
