A Carnival cruise ship diverted its course and rescued 27 Cuban nationals who were adrift in a wooden boat on Sunday. The Cubans were provided with medical attention and food on board and were later notified to the US Coast Guard. Despite the detour, the cruise reached its port of destination in Roatan on time and is expected to make further stops in Cozumel and Tampa. The incident highlights unforeseen events involving cruise ships, such as a recent airlift of a pregnant passenger from the Disney Fantasy cruise ship due to medical complications.
