Two cruises have been canceled during the busy spring break season following a fire on the Carnival Freedom, the cruise line announced.
Two cruises have been canceled this week during the busy spring break travel season, following a fire on the Carnival Freedom the second on the ship in less than two years. "Regrettably, the damage is more than we first thought and will require an immediate repair to stabilize the funnel, resulting in the cancellation of the March 25 and March 29 cruises from Port Canaveral," a Carnival spokesman told Fox Business.
Cruisers told the TV station the top deck was closed the rest of the trip, and they did not get to visit all the ports planned for their itinerary. "We sincerely regret the impact to our embarking guests, as we know they have been looking forward to their spring break vacation," the Carnival statement reads. The cruise line is providing guests on both canceled cruises with a full refund and a 100 percent future cruise credit.
