Just now: Carnival Cruise Line Faces $3M Fines and Passenger Detainment Over Onboard Misbehavior… Full details
Carnival Cruise Line has implemented stringent measures to address increasing incidents of passenger misconduct aboard its ships. The company now imposes a $500 fine on guests whose disruptive behavior affects the comfort, safety, or well-being of others. Additionally, passengers may be required to reimburse Carnival for expenses incurred due to detainment or early disembarkation resulting from their actions. citeturn0search0
These policy changes come after several high-profile altercations on Carnival vessels. Notably, a brawl involving approximately 30 individuals occurred on the Carnival Sunrise in September 2022, and another incident took place on the Carnival Elation in July 2022. In response, Carnival has increased security personnel across its fleet and introduced measures such as drug-sniffing dogs at ports to deter the possession of illegal substances. The company has also implemented a curfew requiring passengers under 18 to be in their cabins by 1 a.m., unless accompanied by an adult in their traveling party. citeturn0search1
Carnival’s commitment to maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment is further underscored by its zero-tolerance policy towards disruptive behavior. Guests found in violation may face fines, reimbursement of associated costs, removal from the ship at their own expense, and a permanent ban from future Carnival cruises. citeturn0search0
