The new menus are being phased in gradually, and the first ship, after Carnival Dream, to offer the cuisine choices is Carnival Conquest, which added the new items in time for her July 17 departure on a Western Caribbean itinerary. The problem developed on Tuesday evening, when tracking data noted the vessel cruising at very slow speeds with occasional dead stops at different times in the open waters of the Baltic Sea. These initial sea trials are part of a two-part series that’ll evaluate the ship’s operating systems, maneuverability, and navigation. The ship will serve as a floating hotel for the current guest while repairs are made.

One of the most recent was in May 2022, when the ship cancelled a call to Grand Cayman due to a propulsion problem. Sister ship Carnival Panorama, which is part of the same class, has also recently experienced issues related to propulsion, with the latest being in June 2023. The Carnival cruise ship is departing on another Western Caribbean voyage, but with different ports. Carnival Vista will make visits at Roatan in Honduras, Belize, and the final port in Cozumel, Mexico. With the August 5 sailing ending later than scheduled, it resulted in a slightly delayed departure for the following August 12 voyage. Guests on the following sailing were informed via a text message that embarkation would be delayed by two hours.

Carnival Panorama Tour

Last summer, another Spirit-class ship, Carnival Pride, experienced issues while sailing in Northern Europe. The vessel was on a 12-night European cruise from Dover, England, and started experiencing issues after leaving Kiel, Germany. Carnival Pride was taken out of service while the vessel underwent repairs in Europe. Princess Cruises told guests booked on a 19-day “Southern Islands & Sea of Japan” voyage on Diamond Princess, due to depart on May 16, 2024, that the sailing is canceled and offered two options.

Previous Issues, But Dry Dock Coming

Carnival Cruise Line cancelled the upcoming cruise onboard the Carnival Pride following a technical issue with the vessel. After a month-long dry dock, the ship will return to its year-round homeport of Long Beach. The ship left Texas last Thursday on a scheduled four-day cruise with 3,143 passengers and a crew of 1,086. Conditions appear to be worsening on the Carnival cruise that has been floating aimlessly about 150 miles off the Yucatan Peninsula after a fire erupted in the aft engine room Sunday, knocking out the ship’s propulsion system. It isn’t clear when the video was taken; the ship is currently sailing a 5-night Bahamas cruise to Nassau and Half Moon Cay.

Latest News

Earlier this week, in a separate incident, the Coast Guard said that some passengers aboard a Carnival cruise ship heading to Norfolk, Virginia, reported they were feeling ill after smelling chemical fumes. If a shorter cruise does go ahead, Carnival will provide a prorated refund of the original cruise fare, in addition to offering a to-be-determined amount of onboard credit. The Vista-class Carnival cruise ship came to an unexpected stop while it was heading back to the Port of Galveston, Texas, on August 11, 2023. According to an announcement on board at the time by Captain Claudio Bozzo, the Carnival Vista had an issue related to propulsion, resulting in some work. Two tugboats arrived on the scene of the stranded vessel Tuesday to tow it to Mobile. Besides the two tugs, at least two other Carnival cruise ships have been diverted to the Triumph to leave supplies, and a Coast Guard cutter reportedly was at the scene.

Cruise Ship’s Early Arrival a Boon to Local Economy

The Coast Guard has informed Mexican authorities of the situation in their waters, a spokesman said. The delay was especially complicated because many guests had arrived in Europe to join the ship, and an unknown number of guests who had booked back-to-back voyages were already onboard the ship. Those onboard while the ship is in the repair dock must remain on the ship, which has a capacity for 2,124 guests. Booked guests had expected to depart from Dover, UK, on July 21, but the mechanical problem will delay the start of the sailing to July 24.

Guests can receive a full refund of all monies paid, or they can opt for a similar itinerary departing on June 22, 2024, also on the 2,670-guest Diamond Princess. The final port of call – Gothenburg, Sweden – was cancelled due to the propulsion issues which dramatically reduced the ship’s cruising speed and forced the unplanned return to Kiel. At times late Tuesday evening and into early Wednesday morning, the ship was at a dead stop in the Baltic Sea. The cruise line offered various forms of compensation, such as refunds to those who decided to opt out of the sailing, and hotel reimbursements for those who had arrived before embarkation.

While the ship originally was slated to arrive on Sunday, the ship was forced to change course in order to disembark a passenger in need of medical attention. An email to passengers expecting to board on Sunday informed them that the ship would not be leaving Baltimore until Monday, and that the scheduled 7-night sailing would instead be a 6-night voyage. If a shorter cruise is possible, guests will receive a prorated refund of their original cruise fare as well as an onboard credit for the adjustment, depending on the finalized plans for an altered sailing.

Carnival Cruise Passengers Attempt to Bring Portable Washing Machine Aboard Ship

All pre-purchased Carnival shore excursions for Gothenburg, as well as applicable taxes, fees, and port expenses, are being refunded to guests’ Sail & Sign accounts. Guests already in Europe will be reimbursed for hotel stays and provided a food per diem as they make arrangements to return home. The ship, the Carnival Freedom, had departed Port Canaveral, Florida, on Monday for a five-day cruise. “Our team has been busy exploring all options to get you back to the UK so you can catch your return flights home or continue your vacation in Europe,” the company said in a statement delivered onboard. Meanwhile, the passengers that are already in Europe will receive reimbursement of the expenses related to the cancelled cruise. Affected passengers will be offered different compensation and options, based on their current location and plans.

Some Cruise Critic members who moved quickly were even able to secure replacement voyages aboard Carnival Radiance, Carnival’s second ship based out of Long Beach. Carnival Panorama offers Mexican Riviera cruises roundtrip from Long Beach, California, with weeklong cruises typically calling on Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta. The company is currently constructing two more ships for the cruise line, Disney Treasure, due to debut in 2024, and another unnamed sister ship scheduled to launch in 2025. Disney Cruise Line has revealed very little about the revamp of Global Dream, other than to say the ship will be deployed to Singapore in 2025. The line has hinted that the renovated ship will offer more restaurants and family areas.

The now-cancelled Carnival Pride cruise was to have been a 9-night European itinerary calling on ports in Scotland and Ireland. Carnival Cruise Line is also investigating any availability on its sister lines – P&O Cruises and Princess Cruises – for 7-night sailings from Southampton departing on Saturday, July 22. P&O Cruises’ Iona and Princess Cruises’ Sky Princess are both offering Scandinavian itineraries on that departure date. This option will most obviously affect guests who have booked airfare through Carnival Cruise Line, but will also apply to guests who have not yet begun their travels to meet the ship in Dover in two days. Impacted guests have different options to choose from for this last-minute cancellation, depending on whether or not they have already traveled to Europe in advance of Friday’s embarkation.

“Based on when we can make the repairs and return the ship to Dover, we may be able to operate a revised itinerary with a shorter cruise that will end in Dover on the originally scheduled debarkation date of Sunday, July 30,” the company added. The ship will begin its upgrade on January 7, 2024 and during this time, the hope is that the propulsion issues will finally be fixed. Carnival Legend, a 23-year-old Spirit-class ship, is currently homeported in Baltimore for the season.

Local businesses around the Port of Portland, in southwest England, reaped the benefits of unexpected revenue when Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Dawn arrived a day before her scheduled call. During that refit, new venues were added to the vessel, the spa was renovated, the ship received the new red-white-and-blue hull livery, and various mechanical and technical upgrades were made. The ship’s hotel operations and other onboard power usage does not appear affected, nor are any safety systems compromised. “We continue to have constructive discussions with the CDC but still have many questions that remain unanswered. We are working diligently to resume sailing in the U.S. and meet the CDC guidelines,” Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line, said in the statement. Nine of Carnival’s 14 U.S. homeports use this secure, streamlined technology, including Miami, Port Canaveral, Tampa, Jacksonville, New York, Baltimore, Mobile, Galveston, and Long Beach.

A short video clip showing a not-so-appetizing enchilada served to a guest aboard Carnival Cruise Line’s Carnival Sunshine went viral on TikTok, putting the cruise line into a kind of cheesy spotlight. It was a German news outlet that obtained photos of the ship when workers at the yard opened the construction hall gates for a breath of fresh air, and enabled a glimpse of the vessel. Cruise watchers got a sneak peek at a ship Disney Cruise Line is renovating at a Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany. The cruise line has kept the ship under wraps since buying the vessel, Global Dream, from bankrupt Genting Hong Kong in the fall of 2022. The port in 2023 is having a good season, with cruise-related revenues expected to inject around $13 million into the local economy.

According to a statement published by Brand Ambassador John Heald, following the technical issue, the Carnival Pride made an unplanned stop in Kiel, Germany, to board expect technicians. Scheduled to sail roundtrip from Dover, England, on July 21, the nine-night itinerary was set to visit the British Islands and Ireland. Carnival Vista departed Galveston on August 5 on a seven-night Western Caribbean cruise which included calls to Montego Bay in Jamaica, Geirge Twon in Grand Cayman, and then the final call in Cozumel, Mexico, before its eventful return home to Texas. At the end of 2021, Carnival Horizon was taken out of service and brought to Europe for repairs. Panorama will leave Cabo on Wednesday afternoon to start its 1,000-mile voyage back to Southern California.

In a letter sent to booked guests, Carnival notes an issue affecting the maximum cruising speed of the ship requires Carnival Panorama to be pulled from service to undergo repairs. The ship was unable to make two of its three Mexican Riviera ports of call this week, with Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta scrubbed from the itinerary. Carnival Legend experienced engine issues on Saturday afternoon off the coast of Florida, resulting in a delayed return to Baltimore.

A Carnival Cruise Line passenger went overboard on the line’s Carnival Glory ship. The Carnival Magic ship departed from Norfolk, Virginia, on Thursday and returned to Norfolk on Tuesday, WTKR reported. "The Coast Guard is utilizing both air and water assets to conduct the search," the military branch said. “He realistically could have been in the water for 15-plus hours before we were able to successfully rescue him,” Gross said. The missing 28-year-old man, who hasn’t been identified, was with his sister at the Carnival Valor’s bar at 11 p.m.

CCTV footage suggests the guest jumped overboard

"We greatly appreciate the efforts of all, most especially the U.S. Coast Guard and the mariner who spotted the guest in the water," the Coast Guard said in a statement Thursday to ABC News. The cruise ship was released by the Coast Guard from search and rescue efforts and will continue its way to Norfolk, Virginia, where it's scheduled to arrive Tuesday. "The decision to suspend the active search efforts pending further development is never one we take lightly," Coast Guard District Seven search and rescue mission coordinator Lt. Cmdr. Christopher Hooper said in a statement. "We offer our most sincere condolences to Mr. Peale's family and friends." But security cameras often indicate the jump was intentional, as seems to have been the case with 30-year-old Jaylen Hill in July. Hill was reported missing by family members on the Carnival Elation and the cruise line said surveillance video showed him jumping over the side.

The man appears to have jumped from the fourth deck shortly before 2 a.m. A family member reported the passenger missing on Monday morning. The Coast Guard was then alerted by the crew of a bulk carrier after they spotted the man in the water, and he was rescued Thursday night about 20 miles south of Southwest Pass, Louisiana. Some cruise lines are adding overboard detection sensors which use thermal cameras and micro radars to detect incidents and alert crew members. Lupoli told Forbes the cruise line is “providing assistance” to the missing passenger’s family who are still onboard, noting the ship is scheduled to dock in Jamaica’s Montego Bay on Wednesday after departing from New Orleans on Sunday.

“From what my granddaughter could tell from the poor quality of the footage, it looked like he went to move and slipped off. I know Tyler wouldn’t deliberately jump,” Barnett's grandmother Dirlean Tate Mason told NBC News on Thursday. She said her granddaughter Destiny Barnett reviewed the video of Barnett on the ship. The passenger was reported missing by the crew of the Carnival Valor on Wednesday afternoon, the Coast Guard said last week. "We greatly appreciate the efforts of all, most especially the U.S. Coast Guard and the mariner who spotted the guest in the water," Lupoli told CBS News.

Barnett was on the cruise with 13 of his family members when he went overboard. His sister Destiny Barnett said on Tuesday that she felt trapped on the cruise, unable to enjoy the vacation, but also unable to leave without knowing what happened to her brother. “Suspending an active search is never a decision we make lightly, and we offer our most sincere condolences to Mr. Barnett’s family and friends,” DiGeorge said. Caitlin Yilek is a politics reporter at cbsnews.com and is based in Washington, D.C. She previously worked for the Washington Examiner and The Hill, and was a member of the 2022 Paul Miller Washington Reporting Fellowship with the National Press Foundation. Carnival Valor had said in a statement to ABC News that it conducted a search-and-rescue operation after Grimes went missing.

The Coast Guard responded with two cutters and an airplane to search for the 43-year-old man. The Mardi Gras and the cruise ship Elation also participated in the search, said Coast Guard spokesman David Micallef. Of the 212 listed as overboard between 2009 and 2019, only 48 people were rescued.

CBS Miami reported the Mardi Gras is the largest ship ever built for the cruise line. The first cruise ship with an onboard roller coaster, the Mardi Gras is 1,130 feet long, has 21 decks, 2,641 staterooms, and features six themed zones and restaurants from Guy Fieri, Emeril Lagasse, Rudi Sodamin and Shaquille O'Neal. Lupoli said the Coast Guard released the ship from the search efforts and it continued to Port Canaveral.

The U.S. Coast Guard is searching for a 35-year-old man who went overboard a cruise ship Tuesday. The man fell off a Carnival Magic cruise ship about 186 miles east of Jacksonville, Florida, the Coast Guard tweeted. The U.S. Coast Guard assisted the Carnival crew with search and rescue and told ABC News they found the man in the water shortly after 8 p.m.

If the ship is moving the person may be rapidly swept away and if the location isn't known a single person's head can be extremely difficult to see in the vast, rolling ocean. The captain also will notify other ships in the area who are then obligated to help search. The bridge will contact the Coast Guard and a search will begin. The ship will stop and the crew will try to pinpoint where and when it happened so they can start a thorough search in that area.

Not very many as compared to the number of passengers over time. Worldwide, as of 2023, 386 cruise and ferry passengers and crew have gone overboard since 2000, according to a list from CruiseJunkie. Shout out or notify a crew member as soon as you can and note the time so the bridge officers can identify the exact position of the ship at that time. A cruise ship travels miles in a few minutes and does not turn around quickly.

A 28-year-old man who went overboard while on a Carnival cruise ship in the Gulf of Mexico was rescued by the U.S. All ships have "safety barriers that are regulated by U.S. Coast Guard standards and prevent a guest from falling off," according to Carnival spokesperson Matt Lupoli. That cry is one of the worst things you can hear while you're on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean. It means someone has spotted a passenger or crew member either going over the side of the ship or in the water, and a life is at stake.

Tyler Barnett, 28, was on a family vacation on the Carnival Glory cruise ship when he was reported missing just after midnight on Monday, the Coast Guard said. The search for the missing passenger began shortly after noon that day, following the ship’s path from Southwest Pass, Louisiana. The cruise ship was on a four-day Bahamas sailing and on its way back to Jacksonville, Florida, at the time of the incident, Matt Lupoli, a Carnival spokesperson, said. The man was reported missing by his travel companion late Sunday afternoon after he was not seen all day.

Carnival Glory’s week-long cruise from New Orleans also has scheduled calls on Grand Cayman and Cozumel. Carnival’s care team continues to support the Barnett family on board. Mason said Destiny Barnett has since left the ship, which docked in Montego Bay in Jamaica on Wednesday.

Under the 2010 Cruise Vessel Security and Safety law, cruise ships must have 42-inch guard rails and man-overboard imaging or detection systems. The cruise ship's operator, Carnival Cruise Line, told Insider in a statement that the man — whose identity was not immediately released — was reported missing by his companion late Monday afternoon. A spokesperson for the cruise line said the delay occurred because the crew was only advised that Barnett could be wearing a different shirt on Tuesday. The security team was able to change the search profile of onboard video afterward, the spokesperson said. “Our crews battled severe weather conditions for multiple days and made every effort to find Mr. Barnett,” Lt. Cmdr. Sean DiGeorge, Coast Guard District Eight search and rescue mission coordinator, said in the press release.

Following not being seen for several hours, his disappearance prompted a search both on the ship and in the surrounding waters. Security footage from the Carnival Glory “shows the man jumping off the cruise ship,” according to a Tuesday night update from the Coast Guard. The United States Coast Guard said in a tweet on Tuesday that crews were searching for a 35-year-old man who fell off the Carnival Magic ship about 186 miles east of Jacksonville, Florida, on Monday.

"Even a small buoyant device will help you — something you can use with your arms around or your neck over just to help relieve some of the stress if you're not a great swimmer or you're having a hard time staying afloat," survival expert Cat Bigney told The Insider. Describe the person as best you can, including how fit they appeared, what they were wearing and if they were holding anything that might float, as all those factors will affect likely survival times. "I'll stress that people don't just fall over the side," said Brian Salerno, senior vice president of global maritime policy at Cruise Lines International Association, the industry's leading trade group. "There are railings and they're pretty high. It's almost always the result of an intentional act." Due to strong winds and high waves, the Coast Guard was forced to halt search operations on Monday evening. "I just want answers, and I'm holding out for hope," Barnett's grandmother Dirlean Tate Mason told NBC News in a story published on Tuesday.
