Cruise ship rescued Cubans from makeshift boat
For the second time in less than a month, the 'Carnival Paradise' on Aug 21 has come to the rescue of six Cuban refugees from a makeshift boat. The cruise ship stopped and then a boat made of styrofoam and plywood drifted to the side of the ship. The six were taken aboard the cruise ship and then transferred to a small boat with Mexican officials on board as they approached the port in Cancun.

Cruisings in 2023 cancelled due to dry docking
Carnival Cruise Line notified passengers on Aug 4 that their October 2023 cruises aboard the 'Carnival Paradise' have been canceled due to the need for the ship to enter dry dock. The impacted guests were being offered compensation options. Cruises from Oct 8 through Oct 26, 2023 aboard the ship have been canceled: “In our continuous efforts to enhance our product, Carnival Paradise has now been scheduled for dry dock. As a result, we’re sorry to inform you that your reservation has now been canceled.” The canceled cruises are a series of 4-5 night Western Caribbean and Bahamas itineraries, all departing from the Fantasy-class vessel’s homeport of Tampa, Florida. In total, five sailings are now canceled. The 'Carnival Paradise' will resume sailing for the planned Oct 30, 2023 departure, a 6-night Western Caribbean sailing calling on Key West, Florida; Montego Bay, Jamaica; and George Town, Grand Cayman. Guests whose reservations were now canceled can choose to rebook on a comparable sailing at a different date, or even on a different vessel if they prefer. The new booking will carry price protection from the original fare if guests opt for similar accommodations and a sailing that does not exceed the length of the original cruise.
Cruise ship rescued distressed migrants
The 'Carnival Paradise' has rescued at least 20 refugees from a small, overloaded boat on July 31, 2022, at around 3.30 p.m. near the Cuban coast, while the ship was sailing between Cuba and Mexico on a 5-night Western Caribbean cruise. The small boat with at least 20 refugees aboard appeared to be a rowboat and was drifting at the time it was spotted. The cruise ship slowed and turned to assist the vessel, and brought the individuals aboard. The weather at the time was relatively calm, but the small boat was visibly overloaded and assistance was necessary to ensure the safety of those onboard. After the refugees were brought aboard the cruise ship, the rowboat was left adrift, still with some containers left aboard. The small craft showed dents and damages and was obviously in poor condition. Report with video: https://www.cruisehive.com/carnival-cruise-ship-rescues-refugees-from-overloaded-boat/77811
