Carnival Horizon Assists Cuban Refugees
On Monday, officers aboard Carnival Horizon spotted a small boat off the northern coast of Cuba that appeared to be drifting. Crew members came to the aid of the five occupants, providing them with food and water.
They declined to come aboard Horizon and instead opted to continue with their journey, with their boat being deemed safe by Carnival staff.
The incident did not impact Carnival Horizon’s schedule, as it continues on a six-night western Caribbean voyage. Today the vessel is spending the day in Grand Cayman. It is scheduled to arrive back to Miami on Saturday, September 17th.
