Star Pride Loses Power

Windstar's Star Pride, on the way to its New York debut, lost power today for a time off the Massachusetts coast. That resulted in the loss of propulsion as well as regular hotel services.

The ship did have emergency power so it could maintain navigational equipment, essential safety systems, and basic comforts for the passengers and crew.

The complete story appeared in the September 7 edition of Cruise News Daily.

Complain, Complain, Complain

Despite all the technology like scrubbers and so forth, Alaska's Department of Environmental Conservation received at least ten complaints from citizens watching Norwegian Pearl dock at Juneau on Tuesday. They were complaining about the emissions coming from the ship's smokestack.

The DEC hasn't received the reports from their own observers yet, and they can't talk about whether or not they are in the process of issuing a fine.

It Was a Fall, but Now Is Called Murder

A January incident aboard Carnival Elation has resulted in a second-degree murder charge against one of the passengers.

On the January 18 sailing from Jacksonville to the Bahamas, a woman reportedly fell from her balcony on Deck 14 and landed on the Deck 11 where she was found dead.

The complete story appeared in the September 6 edition of Cruise News Daily. 

Tell the World

Thanks to Carnival's thoughtfulness, you can now tell the world that you've gone “Hog Wild for Craft Brews.” Of course, that refers to the Parched Pig craft beer brewed aboard Carnival Horizon.

Alternatively, there's a similar proclamation Carnival Vista passengers can make about Red Frog Pub & Brewery aboard that ship.

Carnival Cruise Line has begun to sell logo items for their two shipboard craft breweries aboard Carnival Horizon and Carnival Vista.
