Cruise News - Cruise Ship Collides with Oil Tanker, Carnival Drink Glitch, Hurricane Franklin, MSC
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The host reports on several significant events currently impacting the cruise industry, beginning with a collision in Mallorca, Spain. A sudden storm with high winds caused the P&O cruise ship Britannia to break its moorings and strike an oil tanker, resulting in reported injuries and damage to the ship's railing. The report also covers weather disruptions caused by Hurricane Franklin, noting that the Carnival Magic had to alter its itinerary from Bermuda to the Bahamas, with the cruise line providing onboard credits to affected passengers. Additionally, the MSC Seaside experienced delays returning to Port Canaveral due to engine issues, which subsequently delayed embarkation for its next sailing. Finally, the host discusses a technical glitch involving Carnival's drink packages. A computer error allowed some passengers to book the Cheers package for the price of a single day rather than the full cruise duration. Carnival addressed the error by issuing refunds and promising future discount codes to those impacted by the incorrect pricing.
