Carnival Cruise Lines

Cozumel should get into the act & ban Carnival also!

Federal judge threatens to temporarily block Carnival ships from docking at U.S. ports

Honestly not surprised. I use to work for carnival shore side. They are all about profit and nothing else.

I try to avoid cruising with Carnival, and this is one more reason to definitely avoid.

If Carnival does it, you can bet the others do too.

I don't know how true that is, but I don't trust any of them. So if a federal judge has postponed his decision until June, threatening to stop Carnival Corp. from docking its ships at U.S. ports, sales & boardings may be challenged. Who wants to get on a ship leaving the US over Memorial Day weekend unsure that they will be allowed to return.

I can't believe that they are still allowed to dump in "open waters". That's analogous to saying that once you leave town you can dump all your garbage & sewage anywhere. Geez

Do you really think this judge's ban wouldnt have been overturned in less than 10 minutes?

Hint: Probably closer to 5 minutes.

But in reality, Cozumel is blasting apart its reefs to make room for cruise ships. What makes you think they care enough about the waters to ban their profit centers?

We call them BUBS.....big ugly boats.

Question - Just how much experience do you have obtaining a stay of a Federal District Court’s injunction? Because if you can get it stayed in 10 minutes after it’s entry, you are either the world’s best lawyer or you have a wizard’s wand worthy of Harry Potter.

How long it would actually take depends entirely upon which Circuit Court of Appeals Carnival would have to go to, and what 3-judge panel it drew. Still, just because of the procedural steps that Carnival would be required to take, FIRST seeking a stay of the injunction from the District Court, getting that request denied, THEN filing the appeal in the Circuit Court, waiting for the Clerk to assign the case to a panel (which the Clerk typically won’t do until the opposing side has an opportunity to file a response), getting the panel to hear the case and decide, etc., getting the injunction stayed in less than 2 weeks would probably take a miracle. More likely is AT LEAST 30 days or more. And that could really hurt Carnival, both in lack of bookings, required refunds to already booked passengers, and loss of goodwill.
