scejas Posted June 15, 2005 #1 Share Posted June 15, 2005 CHARLOTTE AMALIE, U.S. Virgin Islands (AP) -- Carnival Cruise Lines was fined 65-thousand dollars. Two of its ships were turned away from St. Thomas and San Juan, Puerto Rico, today due to a computer glitch, the Coast Guard says. Miami-based Carnival also allegedly failed to notify officials in advance of their arrival. The Coast Guard says the Carnival Glory was delayed from docking in St. Thomas for four hours. Carnival was fined 32,500 dollars because it hadn't sent Coast Guard officials documents listing names of passengers and crew. They also hadn't sent the ship's last five ports of call. Carnival spokesman Vance Gulliksen said the computer system, which normally sends out the documents several days ahead of time, had broken down.
