Passengers at the Carnival Dream was stranded within the Caribbean after the ship developed equipment problems.
The incident comes only a month after passengers were stranded for four days inside the Gulf of Mexico on board the Carnival Triumph in what some described as toxic conditions.
Several passengers aboard the Carnival Dream, that’s currently docked in Philipsburg, St Maarten within the Caribbean talked of human waste all around the floor in some bathrooms, in addition to power outages.
According to a press release from the cruise line, Carnival Dream developed a technical issue with the ship’s backup emergency diesel generator.
“At no time did the ship lose power and the ship’s propulsion systems and first power source was not impacted.
“There were periodic interruptions to elevators and restroom services for a number of hours last night,” added the statement.
Carnival is making arrangements to fly all guests home via private charter flights and scheduled flights from St. Maarten.
The cruise line confirmed it is going to cancel the ship’s next voyage that’s scheduled to leave on Saturday, March 16th.
Guests scheduled to sail in this cruise will receive an entire refund and 25 per cent off a future seven-day cruise.
Guests who re-book can have their current rate protected at the future sailing.
