Carnival drops Antigua from seven-night Southern Caribbean cruise itinerary
28.09.09
In a statement, Carnival says it had been contemplating moving the ship away from Antigua for quite some time. "We have not modified this Southern Caribbean itinerary in the past four years and had a desire to incorporate a new port of call," the line says. "At the same time, St. Maarten holds very strong appeal from a tourism standpoint and we have made a commitment to St. Maarten to support the extensive port and infrastructure development currently underway there."
Carnival notes Antigua will remain on the itinerary of the eight-night Southern Caribbean cruises it offers on another ship, the Carnival Freedom, out of Ft. Lauderdale. The Freedom sails the itinerary every fourth week -- or 13 times a year. Still, the net effect of the change is to reduce Carnival's arrivals in Antigua by 80%.
The six Carnival Victory passengers -- Shoshonnah Henry, 24; Dolores Lalanne, 25; Mike Pierre Paul, 24; Joshua Jackson, 25; Nancy Lalanne, 22; and Rachael Henry, 27 -- were arrested on Sept. 4 after allegedly brawling with police and are undergoing a trial on charges ranging from battery to malicious damage. The incident occurred after the cruisers claimed a taxi driver overcharged them for a ride.
The cruisers have been forbidden from leaving Antigua and reportedly face up to two years in prison if convicted.

He added: "We also discussed ways in which Barbados can play a greater role within their business, such as having Barbadian products on P&O cruise ships and partnerships with our hotel school, so that Barbadian students can carry out some of their training on board. I am encouraged that Barbados will play a central part in the development of the cruise industry within the whole Caribbean region."
