This isn't the first Costa ship that came to Carnival. Splendor was being constructed as a Costa ship when moved to Carnival 

We know what happened to the sister ship The Costa Concordia.

But what about the Captain?

 

 

The captain of the Costa Concordia, Francesco Schettino was found guilty of manslaughter in 2016 and sentenced to 16 years in prison. Francesco Schettino was given 10 years for multiple manslaughters, 5 years for causing a shipwreck, and 1 year for abandoning the passengers at the time of the sinking.

I booked a solo cruise in a cove balcony for the August 24, 2024 for myself

I remember the news media stated, Schettino was requested to return to the ship to help with getting passengers off the ship, after leaving on a lifeboat. Schettino responded with " No I can do that from here".

I've seen the island where they are working on that but it looks like it is still going to require tendering from to the mainland but will be from the island instead of directly from the ship. I don't know all the facts on this but that would seem to still exclude the huge ships.

This sounds crazy but one of the guys working the tender on two different occasions  in Belize said the plan is to have a roadway built out to that island- like in Progresso I guess- then bus service running back and forth. It sounds crazy but I've heard that twice now. Of course, that being "the plan" doesn't mean it will happen.

Just booked the TA for me and my girlfriend. Really wanted a cruise to Hawaii this time last year for my retirement but there was no cruising then.

If I could book nov 18 for under 1k, I'd join the islanders group, but not for current prices. Maybe prices will drop. I'll keep watch, long way off. I'll take a SNJ inside Havana special thanks. 

 

At these prices allure wins hands down. Jubilee prices will eventually drop.
