CARNIVAL Cruise Line has been praised for its decisive response to an incident on Carnival Dream last week in the Caribbean when a water leak sprung in fire safety equipment.
The cruise continued uninterrupted because the crew replaced carpeting and restored 50 staterooms within six hours.
Only about 100 guests were impacted, with those affected given a full refund, a future cruise credit and were offered a flight home if they wanted to disembark early.
Only two opted to do so.
The incident went viral when a passenger posted a video of the flooding.
The original post has now been taken down – but not before the video was viewed more than 1.3 million times.
Carnival said the water main break had no effect on the safe operation of the ship.
