CRUISE NEWS: Two Oasis-Class Ships Change Itinerary, Carnival in Trouble, Princess Cruises
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
This news update covers several legal and operational developments within the cruise industry. A significant legal ruling involves Carnival Corporation, where an Australian judge found the company negligent for failing to cancel a voyage on the Ruby Princess during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. The ruling requires the company to cover medical expenses for a passenger and potentially opens the door for thousands of other passengers to seek damages. Additionally, a lawsuit has been filed in US federal court against Carnival Corporation regarding an injury on the Carnival Horizon, where a passenger alleges a balcony door slammed shut and severed his finger. The report also details itinerary changes for two Royal Caribbean Oasis class ships due to inclement weather. The Utopia of the Seas altered its five night sailing from Port Canaveral to include a day at sea and a visit to Cozumel instead of its original destinations. Similarly, the Oasis of the Seas experienced disruptions during its Bahamas cruise from New York, as rough weather and high winds prevented a scheduled stop at CocoCay, leading the ship to call on Fort Lauderdale instead.
