Carnival warns those planning to travel on their ships during spring break, saying unruly passengers could be slapped with a hefty $500 fine.
Along with the $500 fine, unruly cruise guests would be forced to reimburse expenses if detained or made to disembark early, Fox Business reported.
Carnival revised its cruise ticket contract to say any passenger whose behavior impacts “the comfort, enjoyment, safety or well-being of other guests or crew” is expected to be detained on board and removed from the ship.
The passenger could also be banned from future cruise bookings with Carnival.
The cruise line hopes they don’t have to enforce the contract guidelines but will do so if needed. “We do not expect to be implementing these fines much, but on those rare occasions when guests cross the line and disrupt the vacation of others, we will follow our guidelines.” a Carnival spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
In addition to the updated contract, passengers under 18 must leave all public areas by 1 am unless accompanied by an adult or participating in a ship-run activity.
Carnival chose to crack down on inappropriate guests after seeing increased occurrences on past voyages and in the tourism industry.
