Default Is Carnival Cutting Corners on Maintenance?

No. It means they just spent $300 Million on rehabbing a ship, are
planning to do several others, and are assuming more of the maintenance
tasks on some of their port facilities to improve guest experiences.


So they will just let the rest of the fleet deteriorate.

"Denial" is NOT the longest river in Africa! Personal attacks do not
make your case -- especially when faced with the obvious.

I see the obvious in every one of your posts.

One obvious is that Carnival Corp. has been skimping on maintenance for
several years. Another obvious is that you are either in denial over
this or that you have a vested interest in Carnival Corp and that you
have to attack the messenger, rather than address the issue.

No, go crawl back under the rock you came from.

There definitely is something wrong at Carnival. There have been too
many incidents. Whether they are skimping, poorly managed, or there is
a design issue they need to spend some of Mickeys billions and fix the
problem.

I thought you were the one to object to personal attacks?

The only REAL obvious here is that you have another sagenda in your posts.
Perhaps you work for another cruise line, or perhaps your mother didn't
change your wet nappies often enough. Maybe you just like to show how
intelligent you think you are by putting down a corporation that couldn't
be bothered defending themselves from whiney wimps like yourself. In any
case, you are posting pure speculation based on vaporous evidence.

Funny. Of course several of these problems have occurred because Carnival
was testing safety equipment and found it wanting, so they "took the high
road" and canceled or curtailed cruises. And of course no other cruise
lines have had incidents all this time... Or have they? If you did a
little research, you'd find there have bneen several. Recently three ships
came into New York so "sick" they had to be scrubbed from bow to stern
before allowing any passengers aboard. Only one of them was a Carnival
ship. Which one was reported by the press? The press is definitely
"piling On" because it sells commercial time, and is always popular to beat
up on the big guy. And you, my dear friend, are buying it hook, line, and
sinker.

I thought the subject said maintenance? Other lines do have incidents
but Carnival has had more of late, and more major ones of late. That is
why they are getting bad press. Testing safety equipment.....LOL

All the while as he did during the Concordia disaster Mickey is
tweeting about the Miami Heat.

Well know cruise industry writers also think it is obvious that Carnival
has a maintenance problem among other problems.

I notice that you did not address the issue. You resorted to personal
attacks, which violate the rules of information exchange. I responded
with a comment that applies to anyone resorting to unprovoked personal
attacks.

No, I have never worked for nor have investments in any cruise line
companies.

I am just a concerned passenger who has cruised on Carnival (twice),
Holland America (twice), Cunard and Princess. I have seen maintenance
issues within the last two years on Carnival and Holland America, which
implies a problem with their corporate ethic.

Now, the question that you have evaded: Do you, "Nooffa Subject", work
for or have significant (to you) investments in CCL?
