Carnival Splendor Cancels Upcoming Cruises for Repairs

Carnival Cruise Lines has canceled additional departures of the Carnival Splendor including the January 16, 23, 30 and February 6 and 13, 2011, voyages to allow for additional repair time following an engine room fire aboard the vessel in November.

The ship is now scheduled to re-enter service February 20, 2011.

The ship is currently in San Diego but will sail to San Francisco in mid-January where repairs will be completed at a dry dock facility. As some of the needed parts are not readily available and are being manufactured in Europe, the repairs will take longer than initially anticipated.

Guests booked on the canceled voyages will receive a refund or future cruise credit equal to the amount paid, along with reimbursement of air transportation-related change fees. Those who re-book may also receive a 25% future cruise discount and/or on board credit depending on the ship and sailing date of the new booking.
