Carnival Cruise Line is under fire after Black passengers became aware of a series of onboard policies that some say are restrictive at best and racist at worst.
According to Carnival, the policy is meant to enhance safety and improve the overall guest experience. But for some travelers, the message feels exclusionary.
What is one of the new policies implemented by Carnival Cruise Line in June?
Allowing unlimited alcohol consumption
Zero-tolerance stance on marijuana
Extending curfew for adults
Banning all music onboard
Among the policies is a zero-tolerance stance on marijuana, even if it’s legal in a passenger’s home state.Because cruise ships fall under U.S. federal maritime law, all cannabis products are banned.
“Marijuana, including cannabis and its derivatives…are unlawful and strictly prohibited on board,” Carnival stated.
Violations can lead to removal from the ship, a lifetime ban, law enforcement involvement, and possible fines.
There’s also a Carnival curfew now in place for minors. Passengers 17 and under must be off public decks by 1:00 a.m. unless participating in a supervised youth program or accompanied by an adult.
The cruise line has tightened its regulations on personal Bluetooth speakers and appears to be limiting the playing of hip-hop and rap music in onboard clubs, although no formal ban exists.
Black Passengers Not Feeling Carnival's Policy
