Carnival Settles Class Action Over Ill-Fated Millennium Cruise
A class of Carnival Cruise Lines passengers whose voyage to celebrate the millennium was interrupted by equipment failure has settled a lawsuit against the Miami-based company with a unique result -- more than $5 million worth of free trips. Under the settlement, about 2,460 passengers from the last Carnival Paradise cruise of 1999 will receive a free one-week cruise embarking from any U.S. port outside Alaska. The total value of the cruises is $5.7 million.
