But they don’t seem to be finished there.
The goal according to Carnival is “accelerating the development and growth of the overall cruise industry in China, which is expected to eventually become the largest cruise market in the world.”

End of the Story
A 24-year-old woman pled guilty in US District Court to a charge of involuntary manslaughter stemming from an incident we reported on back in October 2011. The woman, who was 20 years old at the time, gave birth to an infant while alone in a stateroom aboard Carnival Dream. She then left the child under the bed and told no one.
In a plea agreement, the woman pled guilty to the felony charge and was sentenced Wednesday to two years of supervised release.
