Herold called her insurance provider who said they would set up the towing and a rental car so she could drive home to North Carolina. When Herold took an Uber to Enterprise, they told her they were out of cars and she had to wait a few hours until a car was available. You’ll recall that back in 2019, Carnival put a new policy into effect which was intended to serve as a dress code. “All guests are expected to ensure their clothing and accessories are respectful to fellow guests,” it read in part.

Speaking to CNN, Hassler criticized the cruise operator for sailing in poor weather conditions, questioning why officials didn't wait for the storm to subside before setting off. One woman has died and 10 others were injured after a shuttle bus crashed into the transportation area outside a Honolulu cruise terminal Friday, according to police. Other cruise lines that call at Ocho Rios include Carnival Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line, Holland America Line, TUI Cruises, and Princess Cruises. As she and her family got out of bed, they stepped into what she estimated was 2 to 4 inches of water. “We opened the door and people are yelling and screaming ‘Hey, we're taking on water.

The scene inspired Heald to express safety concerns about the elaborate set-up in a post on his Facebook page. The posted image shows two fans suspended from the ceiling using a kind of pulley system, with their electrical cords, and possibly extension cords, draped along magnetic hooks attached to the metal ceiling. It is impossible to determine where the image was taken, so the identity of the cruise ship and cruise line is unknown. The ship’s Indulge Food Hall will feature a new station called Planterie, offering plant-based food bowls with healthy options such as spiced vegetables, tabbouleh, and honey-roasted carrots. Sun Princess launched in February 2024 with the three-choice dining plan in place.

"There are a lot of people that do not know how bad this area can flood but the Port Authority doesn't inform the public about it, either. We have been trying to let the public know that this is the way it will be until they close it down in December 2024. Stephanie Royal is hoping the incident will cause big changes for the cruise parking in the Charleston area. He said this was his third time aboard Sunshine out of Charleston and his fourth with the cruise line. "It was only 45 minutes later that Captain Contarino came over the intercom system to let everyone know that due to adverse weather conditions, we may arrive later in port than scheduled," Taylor said.

Daniel Taylor, of Albemarle, North Carolina, was one of the passengers aboard the ship and reported water damage and communication outages, as well as high waves that battered the vessel. He spoke to FOX Weather after documenting his experience in a timeline of events. A Carnival cruise was anything but a carnival for thousands of sea-sick passengers caught up in a coastal storm over the Memorial Day weekend.

The ship’s arrival in Charleston was delayed, as was embarkation for the vessel’s following sailing. The ship is currently on a five-day Bahamas sailing and will return to Charleston on Thursday. The captain came to speak with Cox and other guests holed up in the ship’s Liquid Lounge. He informed them that the vessel had taken on water and that bad weather had changed their route, though Cox said the captain did not get specific. Cox and her family did not hear any other official updates from the line, but the crew distributed bottled water and a small number of blankets to passengers.

Meenan said the crew announced that they were heading into some rough weather on Friday afternoon, advising them to hold onto handrails and warning of a potential delay, but did not communicate further until the following morning. Royal Caribbean temporarily suspended port calls to Labadee, its private destination on the north coast of Haiti, due to the civil unrest and gang activity that has thrown the island nation into turmoil. In one case, two cruisers on a Carnival Cruise Line ship were injured during an excursion in Cozumel, Mexico, and were temporarily stranded there without passports in 2023.

In the video, she also noted that the line is using drug-sniffing dogs during both routine and random searches at homeports and at destination ports. Another passenger, Christa Seifert-Alicea, said they didn’t receive word from the captain or crew for more than 12 hours. Throughout the storm, several passengers also complained they were starting to feel sick due to the boat’s rough movements. The ship’s crew members were forced to evacuate their flooded quarters, according to a video shared on Twitter that shows the area in disarray. The 4,000-guest ship continued on its voyage, a 7-night Eastern Caribbean cruise that is due to conclude in Port Canaveral on April 20, 2024.

Also, read about the new dining venues planned for the new-build Norwegian Aqua, a social media image that prompted cabin safety concerns, and the dramatic evacuation of a Disney Cruise Line guest. It is important to note that Carnival Magic remains safe with all hotel operations functional at this time, and guests on board are in no danger. Some services have been temporarily suspended as crew members are called to emergency duties, but will be resumed as soon as possible. Winds near Jamaica today are from the north and west, steady at speeds up to 17 knots (20 miles per hour / 31 kilometers per hour). From that direction, the winds would have been pushing broadside on the ship alongside the dock, exerting considerable force to move the vessel into the dock structure.

Also, more activities, games, and entertainment are being added to onboard schedules. The cruise line also pointed out that if a guest misses his ship’s departure from a US port and wishes to join the ship at a foreign port, a passport will be required to travel to the port call by air. And then there are emergency situations where the lack of a passport can present multiple problems. The 5,200-guest Excellence-class ship was to depart October 4, 2025 on a 14-night roundtrip voyage from Southampton, England, to Spain, Portugal, and the Canary Islands.

Unfortunately, the weather still proved to be an obstacle for the ship, as strong winds drove the vessel into the dock, causing extensive damage to the concrete structure. As the system moved up toward the Carolina coast, gale and high seas warnings were issued from Florida up to Virginia, and Carnival Sunshine endured some of those effects as it waited to get into port. Carnival Sunshine, which was headed from the Bahamas to South Carolina, arrived in Charleston behind schedule, according to the spokesman. Some crew cabins needed to be temporarily taken out of service because of water damage. Meenan also noted that the crew worked hard to make the remainder of the sailing pleasant for passengers. “Even the next day, they all had smiles on their faces and tried their best to make it a nice day for us,” she said.

The spokesperson added that the Carnival Sunshine is now sailing on a five-day Bahamas cruise and will return to Charleston on Thursday. Norwegian Aqua will debut in Southampton in April 2025 and sail a transatlantic cruise to Boston before operating two cruises from Miami. After that, she will be based in Port Canaveral until August 2025 and then will reposition to New York for the fall 2025 season. Under the new policy, the traditional option enables guests to have the same table, wait staff, and meal time each night, while another offers reservable dinner times, and a third provides a dine-anytime approach.
