Name: Ricky______ Message: I was on the hell cruise of the Conquest in May when we missed Roatan because the Captain said was high winds. We as passengers were then amazed to see a __________ ship docked we went to sea so that Carnival could make money in the casinos and bars I paid for three ports of call and got only two yet my compensation was only $21. This was my first cruise! Why did Carnival do this. This was posted on my blog and indeed I see these kind of comments occasional and so it always gives me a chance to set the recorder straight. The Captain has an absolute duty of care to assure the safety of the people onboard Now, for the other ship Ricky mentioned it was most likely docked at another facility and not in the inside passage which leads to Mahogany Bay where the Carnival Corporation ships dock, the entrance to which has rocks on both sides, hence the danger in high winds. There is one more thing, while I am so sorry that you missed a port to suggest this is done on purpose to make money in the casinos is if I may say respectfully both preposterous and quite honestly……. totally bonkers. The revenue we refund in excursions plus the port charges runs into the many thousands of dollars. Bottom line is safety first and while we never ever like to miss a port, if the safety of the ship and those on board is in doubt we will not attempt to dock. But this happens very rarely indeed and I hope on your next cruise you will have calm seas, wonderful days in port and of course a huge portion of Carnival fun. cheers
