Carnival Magic returns after Ebola sufferer debarks

After carrying a suspected Ebola sufferer on board, the Carnival Magic ship recently debarked in Galveston without any issues. The passenger had been quarantined amid worries that she had been infected with the disease, but she did not show any symptoms of the virus when tested at the Department of State Health Services, where all exams came back clear. The passenger has completed the 21-day incubation window and, along with her travel partner, she was able to go home on her own without any issues. Spokeswoman Jennifer de la Cruz explained that debarkation for the rest of the passengers carried on as expected, with the passengers given a leaflet from the Centers for Disease Control, which emphasised that they were not in danger. “This is purely to allay any concerns our guests may have and not because there is any science-based reason. Be that as it may, we are undertaking an aggressive cleaning and sanitizing initiative anyway,” Ms de la Cruz explained. The ship will continue to embark as scheduled, going on to visit Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel as expected. Despite the concerns of passengers, Carnival will not provide refunds to those wishing to cancel a cruise journey. Instead, those on the affected voyage will receive credit to the value of $200 per person, along with a 50 per cent discount on a future trip. Ms de la...

Top Ten Hottest Caribbean Cruise Destinations

Is there anything better than a trip to the Caribbean? With white sands, pristine beaches and a famous laid-back culture, it’s been a favourite destination for cruises for as long as there have been cruises! But with over 2.754 million km² to explore where do you start!? Here at Cruise.co.uk we have narrowed it down for you, providing you with the top 10 Caribbean cruise destinations. 1 – Nassau, Bahamas As you cruise into the port of Nassau you know you’ve reached Caribbean heaven. The bustling tourist centre of the Bahamas is handily attached to the aptly named Paradise Island, giving you a two-for-one port experience. The Straw Market and Festival Place are a must for unique gifts and a wander of the manicured lawns of the Cloisters and Versailles Gardens is a breath of fresh air for anyone suffering from a touch of cruise ship claustrophobia (or inside-cabin-itis). That’s if you can prise yourself away from the white sands of the island’s beaches. Don’t miss Arawak Cay for the freshest fried seafood you’ve ever tasted. Unless, of course, you’re a freshly fried seafood connoisseur, then we’re making no guarantees. 2 – Kings Wharf, Bermuda Safe arrival at Kings Wharf (having hopefully avoided disappearance into the Bermuda Triangle) is cause for celebration, with an ‘all in one’ attraction centre waiting for your disembarkment. Cruising straight into the Royal...
