Carnival Cruise Line threatens to pull ships from US ports over coronavirus restrictions
Fox News
Carnival Cruise Line said on Tuesday it was considering moving its fleet of ships out of U.S. ports if it is unable to resume sailing out of the country again.
"While we have not made plans to move Carnival Cruise Line ships outside of our U.S. homeports, we may have no choice but to do so in order to resume our operations which have been on ‘pause’ for over a year," Christine Duffy, Carnival Cruise president said in a statement. Duffy said the company, which canceled cruises through June 30, is eager to work with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to find a "workable solution that best serves the interest of public health." However, as other facets of the travel industry (like airlines) begin to rebound with more widespread vaccine availability for travelers, Carnival is asking that cruise companies, which have not operated out of U.S. ports since March 2020, are also "treated on par" with the rest of the industry, USA Today first reported.More Related News
