Heavy rains led to the bursting of a pipe on a CCL-Carnival Cruise Line vessel last weekend, resulting in flooding in several staterooms.
The incident occurred aboard the Carnival Sunrise as the ship was returning to Miami, Florida from the Caribbean during adverse weather conditions on Friday night (March 22) and early Saturday morning (March 23). The rainfall caused a pipe to burst, resulting in flooding in various areas of the ship, including guest cabins.
As a consequence of the flooding, the ship's upcoming departure was impacted.
“Some staterooms were taken out of service for Saturday's departure as our team completed clean up and replaced carpet,” said Carnival's spokesman Matt Lupoli.
“Those guests who were not able to sail were provided full refunds, a future cruise credit and received overnight accommodations if they needed them.”
