Carnival Passenger Arrested and Jailed After Fight With Teen

Editorial Summary

Doug Parker reports on several developments within the cruise industry for December 24. A Minnesota woman faces child abuse charges following an incident aboard the Carnival Conquest near the Bahamas. Authorities state the woman allegedly tackled a teenage boy under the mistaken belief that he had assaulted her sons. The teenager maintained he was not involved in any prior altercation and was simply running down a hallway. The woman was arrested upon the ship docking at Port Miami and held on a 2500 dollar bond. In another report, passengers at Port Tampa Bay experienced significant delays after a private parking company lost their vehicle keys. Some travelers were stranded for over four hours and required locksmiths to create replacement keys. Additionally, the Crown Princess has returned to service following a three week dry dock in Singapore. The maintenance period included routine propeller work and repainting, along with the addition of a new Irish pub, a redesigned casino, and a jewelry store. Finally, the report notes a decline in cruise industry stocks, with Carnival Corporation, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, and Viking all seeing percentage decreases on Tuesday.
