REVOLT AT SEA! Carnival Passengers Protest On Cruise Ship

I'm curious as to how the passengers were able to get a microphone and a working PA system!

I mean if they already knew they were having problems with this ship and they chose to send it before they were rectified the people should get a full refund. I mean they knew as a company that they were taking a risk and they should have to pay for that. Anything less is a bait and switch even if they didn't do it deliberately they certainly didn't do enough to prevent it either.

This is why they call carnival the floating Wal-Mart!

I was on the Vista Last year at this time and the engine issues nearly ruined our trip. That ship must of got nothing fixed during dry dock.

Carnival is a mess and so are some of their passengers! 😂🤦🏾‍♀️

“What in the Carnival is going on here” 😂😂😂😂

I was on the Vista in August 2023. We were late boarding because it arrived late...because of propulsion issues😄 AND, the power truned off for about 15 minutes during the cruise. To keep booking cruises when you haven't fully fixed the mechanical issues is crazy.

Bait and switch is never a good policy, they know the ship is a lemon. They should all get a future cruise credit, plus OBC.

Carnival is Greyhound of the seas.

It seems that Carnival was fully aware that this ship was suffering mechanically and wasn't going to complete its scheduled itinerary. The propulsion issue was reported before the last cruise ended. Carnival falsely represented what they were offering these passengers until they boarded then proposed that crazy offer to them. Carnival had the opportunity to do the right thing. Greed took over the decision process, they allowed these passengers to board and then broke the bad news. Shame on Carnival. Everyone on board should receive a full refund and not some prorated future cruise credit. These cruise companies are treating the very customers that make them rich and pay the bills like trash.

I'm going to side with the passengers on this. They need to be held to a higher standard being a cruise ship. The passengers paid for a cruise, and they deserve a cruise! We need to stop allowing these companies to take advantage of us and stand up to these greedy corporations that can't upkeep their ships.

Wow... Carnival should never let this happen

Sounds like the carnival panorama last year when we lost a engine which they knew they were having issues the day we got on the ship Carnival needs to do better than this

I feel their pain 😢. I abandoned the Carnival line after 3 cruises. Poor food, lackluster service, and mediocre accommodations were the deciding factors for me. I believe people should spend their hard-earned travel dollars ONLY with the cruiselines that value their business. If Carnival insists on abusing and mistreating their patrons, their patrons should explore other cruising options. 🤷🏾‍♀️

That's crazy that they were aware of the problem and waited to inform passengers after boarding

That man at the beginning was like , I ain’t in this mess and walked off that stage . This is Embarrassing 😳

Hi, ..... very sad that Carnival is still having this "Propulsion issue" year after year after year. I too, was adversely impacted by this EXACT SAME ISSUE, on this exact same ship a couple of years ago!! We lost 2 of our scheduled Ports of Calls and were given some Onboard Credit that was considered by many as NOT sufficient or fair. IF THE SHIP IS STILL EXPERIENCING PROPULSION ISSUES, REMOVE THE SHIP TO LONG TERM "DRY DOCK" and get the issue fixed correctly once and for all!! Some people save their hard earned money for months or years to take a well deserved Cruise vacation only to have this happen. Come on Carnival, YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS!!

I was on that ship August 10-18 during this uneventful cruise for those who stayed. Our choices were leave the ship and get 100 % money back, leave the ship and get 125% for future cruise credit, or stay and get 400 dollar on board credit and also get a 25% cruise credit for a future cruise booking. Those were our options with the refund of credit for off shore excursions packages and tips be refunded. I wasn’t happy about this but at least we got something. I think carnival got the better in this because all the fuel they saved for not going out that far away. I have a copy of the letter they sent to us.

Carnival: The Spirit & Frontier line of the water. Traveled w/them twice only b/c family chose it. After the second time I told them NEVER again. I understand ppl having different financial abilities, but I cannot lessen my expectations or pleasure with the likes of Carnival.

This sealed it for me about taking a carnival cruise, they definitely seem to be the Walmart of cruise lines.

Normally a change of ports isn't that drastic. In this case they actually turned a southern Caribbean cruise into an eastern cruise which is a lot cheaper. If it had been a weather issue, that would be one thing, but ship malfunction is on them. The $400 would have been fair if it had been offered as money back, and not on board cash.

i have made 100+ cruises on Carnival ships, so obviously I'm a fan. We sailed on Vista the first week it was in Galveston, and many times after that before it moved ports. I really cannot tell you how many times our itinerary was changed because of propulsion issues. I have to agree that the change in that particular itinerary was really beyond anything tolerable. Most people book a cruise for the chance to go to particular destinations, not for the opportunity to just sail anywhere on a ship. after all, if you book a vacation and buy a ticket to say, Grand Cayman, and they drop you off in Freeport instead, that certainly wouldn't be acceptable. I know itineraries can be changed in emergencies or because of weather, but selling tickets to destinations that a company has a pretty good idea the ship cannot make is indefensible. IMO they should have gotten 1/2 their fare back and a 100% future cruise credit. AND TAKE VISTA OFF THE BLOODY LINE!!

Don't cruise if its going to be on the Carnival Vista. Choose a more reliable boat! Carnival needs to step up with better refunds!

They been doing this for years. Corrupt system.

Wow 🤯 what a mess! We love Carnival but I do look at the ships that I am booking. With the history of the Vista, I would never book that ship. We are booked on the Dream on our next cruise. Let’s pray it goes smoothly. I do feel Carnival has to take some fault in the way this all occurred, especially if Carnival was working on the problem when these cruisers were boarding the ship. They should have been made aware there was going to be an itinerary change.

That is absolutely insane. Some people do plan their cruises for years in advance, like that incident where people sold their houses and quit their jobs for this 5 year cruise, then it immediately got canceled-

I am a Platinum member on Carnival and the cruise contract we all sign before the cruise embarks is binding and gives all the the power to Carnival. If it is true that Carnival was aware of the mechanical issues before the cruise, then I think they should have taken the ship out of service, until the issue was repaired. The gestures of a $400 obc with all Bahama ports is decent, however 100 percent future cruise credit if you disembark is not, because the customers would have to pay lodging and airfare to return to their respective destinations. It would have been refreshing if they would have offered to cover those charges, however it is a billion dollar business and they want every dime. Consider this a lesson for all cruisers, no matter the cruise line, they hold all the power, so prepare for the worst while expecting the best!

Me personally, I think countries like United States and other countries should start cracking down on these cruise lines. They seem to have their way. Everything's in your contract. They can do what they want to do. That's not right. That's not fair You know, they should give you your money back when they're supposed to, or they should give you a credit when they're supposed to. Not to take advantage Of the cruises and customers.

for the Vista it sounds like it may have been a manufacturing defect when the ship was built. I know a dry dock may be too costly for them.... but the bad press is not a good look.

Hi Justin. I usually side with the cruise line with issues like this but in this case the itinerary was like a dream cruise and changing it up to go to Nassau or any of the stops in the Bahamas was a complete and under downgrade. I don't think $400 on board credit is a fair compensation. I also think the passengers have lost money in airfare and many people that work can't reschedule because most people only get 2 weeks vacation for the year. I don't know what the solution is but maybe if this ship keeps breaking down they should stop using it. Carnival obviously knows this ship is not fit for sailing and I for one would be furious.

People are fed up with the deteriorating services and the cruise companies greed for corporate profits. This speaks volumes to people's level of frustration. Carnival et al need to listen. I've chose to protest by boycott even though they send me free offers every week. It's a matter of principle.

This is why I will never sail on carnival. I’ve heard too many stories. I’m a Royal Caribbean girl all the way

The algorithm sent me to the world's cheapest cruise and I'm here. This is a VERY interesting channel! Subbed

What if the Carnival guy just said F it I quit and went back to his room. 😂

Carnival vista always has problems. Avoid that ship if you can.

The itinerary change wasn't about what was most cost effective for carnival, it was about distance. The Bahamas are 180 miles from FL, while aruba is 1100. Ship with propulsion issues can't sail 1000 miles.... Going from the original itinerary to the Bahamas is like downgrading your steak house dinner to Applebee's. Of course they were mad. 🤬 These are people, who through all this inflation, found money to cruise for 8 days so, yes, they want the trip they paid for. The Vista is a lemon. Even though schedules are made years in advance, I hope carnival swaps ships for this itinerary with a more reliable ship.

What in the Carnival is going on here!!! Is there any other way to start another video????

I have sailed Carnival every year since 1993. My last sailing was 2023. I did the Sailing out of Baltimore. I told my husband that was THE LAST Carnival cruise that we would do. And we are platinum VIFP members. But I am over it. I would rather be a bottom tier Loyal to Royal than be a part of the Carnival any longer.

If this ship has had this constant reoccurring issue they need to take it out of service. My gosh, what if a sudden storm blew up and they were dead in the water? what if there was even a minor choppy waters and the ship couldn't stop heading towards another ship that wasn't very maneuverable? It would be horrific and hard to believe that the line would take this risk!

I can understand the frustration, but cruise contract allows this. Take 100% cruise credit then collect on travel insurance.

People are just fed up with inadequate compensation for all the things that have been happening on cruise ships. The contract is such that they can do anything they want, any way they want. Cruisers have no rights. I empathize with them. This might not be the best way to handle it. However, the cruise lines hold all the cards. There needs to be more regulation. Weather is one thing, but the state of the ship is totally their responsibility.

This is criminal behavior by Carnival. Operating a vessel with known engine issues is asking for a lawsuit.

Those people need to be refunded. I'm sick of corporations screwing working people over

SOME of us remember when “that BS” was Never a factor on cruises 🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻 Things change, Huh?

I'd be pissed. This isn't port miss this is a cruise change.

Makes me wonder why the US Coast Guard isn't involved with this nonsense. If a ship sailing out of a US port has demonstrated engine issues, why couldn't they prohibit the sailing?

So propulsion issues...I would rather them let us know as they did because if the propulsion isnt working, I'd rather not be stuck in the middle of the ocean.

Carnival cruises has become the Spirit airlines of cruises 🤣🤣

That Dam Carnival again......🤣😅😭😅🤣🤣😂

I just got off that Vista ship on a back 2 back on August 20th. Glad I was not in that nonsense. Sorry for those who has been affected.

Those are MAJOR port changes. Carnival should have absolutely given them their cruise fare back or a future cruise credit for that same amount and the $400. I would have been pretty unhappy about the choices. Was on Horizon and we couldn’t dock in Bonaire due to weather. We all immediately got back the port fees, a $100 cruise credit and our excursion refund. I thought that was reasonable and like I said they did it immediately.

Platinum level Carnival guest who overall enjoys the brand but…we had a propulsion problem years back that resulted in the ship staying overnight in San Juan & missing St Thomas, very disappointed with only port fees reimbursed. Seems any cruise company should be more sensitive to itinerary changes unless driven by nature/ weather. Guests choose the sailing based on the itinerary in many cases.

I traveled with msc and excursion was canceled we did not get credit or money back, Europeans protested, Americans and people from Canada did not protest, some People were arrested E

"Mutiny On the Bounty"💣💥.. 2024! (That was a nightmare and a mess, for passengers, and the cruise line.) Glad I missed that one.

So I understand what you’re saying you buy a flight to go to Paris but now he’s gonna drop you off in South Africa what kind of nonsense are you talking about? What they having the cruise contract if they have to change a port, they have the right to do it but changing the whole itinerary I don’t think that’s in the cruise contract. People buy a specific itinerary and if you cannot provide this itinerary, the passengers should get a full refund.

First of all Carnival should never let the passengers take over their ship like that. You ate the food and lodging so you will not get a full refund period. We had problems on Vista as well and they accommodate us. However, you just can’t please everyone. People are who they are. You can also call Carnival before you port out to see if any changes have been made.

Revolt at sea? Isn't that known as a mutiny?

How the fk does the crew even allow this nonsense. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I was on the Vista immediately before this sailing, I could tell there were some issues with propulsion

The video made me uncomfortable, but Carnival definitely has a few rust buckets in their fleet that they need to either fully refurbish or retire. Magic, Horizon and that ship usually have the more exotic ports.

Why am I not surprised this is on a Carnival Cruise? Why am I not surprised who is holding the microphone? Why am I not surprised I cannot even understand what the person is saying? What I am surprised about is why they haven't taken the microphone away from her?

Itineraries are fluid and can be changed at the drop of the hat. I was booked to go to Bermuda one year and ended up going on a Canada and New England cruise at the last minute. Some people arrived at the port dressed for Bermuda and didn’t have much in the way of suitable clothing. One couple actually traveled from New England from one of the ports we stopped at. They literally went home for lunch. It is in the cruise contract that itineraries can be changed at any time without notice for any reason.

This chick said she spent $600 for the cruise. Paid for Vista, but expected Celebration 😂

Angry masses + microphone = chaos

Well, I won't be sailing with them. Find another line folks, the risk is too great for your wallets.

I wouldn't want to be on a ship with this crowd... Itinerary change, a bit disappointing, but this crowd... toxic!

This is what happens when you don’t explain maritime law to new guests 😂

I think your break dancing is more impressive than what I saw at the Olympics

The lady on the mic for PRESIDENT she's right on everything she said lol

If anyone wants to protest they should not book a trip on the Vista. That ship has a history of issues. Stay away from this ship.

Carnival is two left shoes all the way wrong 🙃. They knew something was wrong with the ship when they left Port Canaveral.

people do have a look at the cruise ticket contract. It says in it that Carnival and the Master of the vessel can change an itinerary at any time for the safety of the ship and passengers including mechanical and weather reasons.

Carnival had no business launching this ship until they had the propulsion issue fixed. Cruising the Caribbean is not what I usually book but I know there's tons of people that do but if they had refunded the money, the people on board could have made other plans if their ship was having too many problems

Personally speaking this ship has had these issues for a long time and continue to become an issue. If they failed to make the repairs so they could swindle people out of their vacation money then that is grounds for a potential lawsuits. The fact the options provided to the customers were garbage is in itself a whole different issue. You can almost never get your money back, they like to force the credit for the next cruise as an option but that is a trap. Cause they figure that the people who take it after having a bad experience will probally not sail again with the liner at which point they lose nothing since the credit is fake money. Then telling people if they want to get said refund they would have to be stranded on an island they have no information on is insane, that is not an option. Personally Carnival should have offered a free flight back to the port of call for passengers wanting to leave due to the complete change in ports of calls. I get that legally you signed a contract but that contract could be rendered null and void if either party acted in bad faith. Knowing there is a mechanical issue and not premptively changing the sailing before departure is 1 red flag. changing all ports of calls is the second as then the contract you signed for a cruise is 100% different. Then comes red flag number 3 of you can take our half ass offer and get stranded until you figure out a way home or deal with the change. Personally I have slowed down how much i cruise cause of ships breaking down and issues i have faced while on board a carnival ship. I was on the Vista when its propulsion went down a few years back during a hurricane and it was scary as heck.

Well it’s Carnival again. Never any good news with Carnival.

Just another reason we don't sail on Carnival.

Cut to the chase - & give us a quick overview! No point showing the ‘nuts & bolts’ of the argument- (as it is rather slow & boring). Sorry! Give us the outcome on things like this - with a quick bit of background.😳😳😳

I would never cruise with carnival

From the overhead speakers: "Crew, affix bayonets"....

Well, I have done the ABCs ... Never Nassau, lol. (Ghetto cruise😂) That's a rip-off. The cruise was more than $400 more for that itinerary. However, I would have disembarked, taken the 100% credit, and booked a similar itinerary on a different ship. We ALWAYS purchase insurance. It's not expensive and, as shown here, is worth every penny. I would have been extremely angry, no doubt. We dont take cruises shorter than 10 days with the one exception of Bermuda. (3 days in port, 2 sea days) Buy the insurance folks.... We love and appreciate you more!

I heard that they made this offer to the passengers before they even boarded in port Canaveral.

The issue was discovered and announced BEFORE leaving port Canaveral. Your video makes it sound that they were already out at sea.

Whoah, changing ports to TWO of your own private islands and another Bahamas stop is REALLY bad. I would want all my money back and 100% cruise credit. Especially since it seems Carnival knew it had propulsion issues.

I can sum it up in one statement Jay. Everyone wants something for nothing

Wow what happened to Carnival cruises?

This is ridiculous I and my clients would rather be safe than have to deal with a hurricane

Has Carnival cruise been invaded by "Avenue 5" cruisers? How is it the guests have access to, let alone control of the ship's microphones in order to foster a protest on board ship? What insanity is that? Where is Hugh Laurie when you need him!?!

That’s why I don’t do Carnival. Can NO do!! Lol

Champagne Tastes on a beer budget and everyone is angry. They probably scared any big spenders customer away from Carnival.

Wife and I have sailed with CCL ( Carnival Cruise Lines) since 1998 but only on their Princess lines. There is a reason Carnival is called the WalMart at Sea. Here is one more reason, thanks Jay.

They need to figure out what is going on with this ship. We were on it in may and we were a little luckier then these people. We were stuck in San Juan until 5AM which cut our next port stop quite a bit shorter. As you said they have been have propulsion issues for a while with the Vista. Regardless if the new port stops may be a more desirable and expensive itinerary, that is not the cruise these people signed up for. Before anyone says the contract says they have the right to do this, it’s still very disappointing.

😂😂😂 a whole mess

Doing a cruise next year so doing the usual homework on different lines. This is 1 of many videos to save and pay for the more upscale lines and avoid carnival like the plague

Went on the Vista 2022 and they had propulsion issues at that time. Didn't get to visit the one port I really wanted to visit, but had my itinerary been changed like THIS, I would have been livid. I pick my cruises based on ports I've never visited before and the last place I want to go is to the Bahamas. Worst ports ever! Changed the Aruba, Curacao ports for the Bahamas is like changing from a castle to a hut. It's ridiculous and I understand the pain of the passengers. Vista needs a dry dock and to get these propulsion issues fixed once and for all.

A refund with a future all inclusive cruise that doesn't expired should be granted to EVERYONE. The time most people sacrifice from work to enjoy a vacation is f**ked so it's not just the money also .

Between the Nora virus, belligerent and drunk passengers, questionable hygiene practices , sewer and mechanical problems , I can't imagine why anyone would pay to be trapped on a floating tin can .

Sounds like carnival needs to close for business it seems like EVERY SINGLE cruise has some bullshit going on fucking over their customers.

I read an article about this earlier today and they said it was weather related but now it's ship related.

Ghetto cruise on Carnival ???? Who would have thought ???? Carnival needs to stop these Urban Yacht stuff.
