There's enough for a class action suit. Attorneys love that.

I think they have a strong case and will get a nice settlement. I would not hesitate to board a cruise ship tomorrow and take any length cruise.

Just got off our 12th Carnival cruise on 2/9. Planning to take another Carnival in May and again in December. It was an accident---could happen while we are on a ship--- I could also fall out of bed----have an auto accident----golf cart accident---, etc. Cannot worry about something that hasn't happened yet-- Life is too short. Had actually taken around 20 cruises or more ----
Loved each and every cruise we have taken----the best vacation as far as we are concerned and the biggest "bang for your buck."

We leave March 3rd. Looking forward to it!

Don't forget to read your legally binding ticket contract. Sections 11 and 12 are interesting.
Ticket Contract | Legal | Carnival Cruise Lines

We leave Saturday the 23rd for a 7 day caribbean cruise on the Carnival Dream! Can't wait! We have no qualms or hesitation at all! We have cruised many times before and look forward to a fun and relaxing time!!

Why should anyone collect anything..The cruise line did nothing wrong.
Yes a generous discount for anther cruise would be a nice gesture for the inconvenience
Far as being held liable for damages for the ship breaking down at sea.
I don't see it

Sent you a PM, as we will also be on the Dream 2/23 cruise! We'd love to buy you a drink and spend an afternoon talking "The Villages", since we are still wannabes!

I will be heading out for a 14 night Caribbean cruise on Celebrity in March. No, I am not concerned about taking a cruise anytime.

As far as I can tell, Carnival did nothing neglilent on this unfortunate incident. Carnival has plenty of high priced attorneys working for the corporation and they will not be paying off on lawsuits. That would set a terrible precedent for the cruise industry. No one got injured - just inconvenienced and a very unpleasant experience. All the passengers got a full reimbursement, a free future cruise, transporation to the home port, and a cash bonus.

[travelguy]

All passengers accept a binding contract which basically does not allow one to collect anything for inconvenience or other such incidents. For example, if the ship is unable to get to any of the ports (weather, etc) the cruise line is not obligated to go somewhere else, nor are they obligated to go anywhere.....and there are no price adjustments or any such refunds. We have been on several cruises where one of the ports was dropped and we spent the day at sea. That's the breaks. .....FYI....I would never...never cruise again on Carnival; 2 times and that was 2 times too much. A second class experience.........sort of like the Days Inn and Golden Corral.....with wet t-shirt contests. (the molten lava chocolate cake is to die for...that is the only good thing about Carnival.)

Typical response to a random incident. This country is sue crazy. Ya get tired of all the frivolous lawsuits that these less than competent judges allow in their courtrooms. That's why we have all the stupid labels on things and McDonalds coffee. Own up to responsibilities, and move on. Someone was inconvenienced. They I heard are also being compensated too. But not as much as some want so they don't have to work another day.

This thread is double posted, 12:25 and 12:27, by the OP. Computer hiccup? Hopefully the Admin can combine.
