That Carnival Cruise ship finally made it to Mobile

One thing I keep hearing is how great of a job the crew did considering the circumstances. That alone will probably reduce legal actions against the company and those crew members should be taken care of.


This will cost Carnival a lot of freaking money. They offered refunds on this cruise and a voucher for a free cruise. I believe they also offered $500 cash. They booked 1,500 hotel rooms in NOLA, charted commercial charter flights to Houston and arranged for ground transportation back to Galveston.

The fire damage will have to be fixed along with an almost complete strip down of the ship from new carpet to new mattresses and furniture. Total costs will be huge. Mobile should have a few job openings right now as it will take a lot of labor to get this ship back to sea.
