Cruise ship rescued Cuban migrants
On Feb 24, 2024, the 'Carnival Celebration', en route to Miami, rescued a number of migrants 20 miles north of Cuba. The homemade boat was in precarious conditions with about 20 Cubans aboard. They were removing water from the boat with buckets to prevent the rustic vessel from collapsing. The Coast Guard sent a speedboat to the scene. The process to follow was to return the irregular migrants to Cuba.

Cruise ship assisted overcrowded row boat
The 'Carnival Celebration' on March 24, 2023, encountered a crowded row boat while sailing northeast of Cozumel. The incident occurred at approximately 6 p.m. ship time, when the small craft was sighted with at least 12 occupants, both male and female. The cruise ship immediately diverted to offer assistance, prepared to take the people from the small craft aboard if necessary. The small boat was using multiple oars for propulsion and steering, but was not otherwise signaling for emergency aid. While constructed in part of varying materials, including duct tape, the craft seemed reasonably stable. The 'Carnival Celebration' pulled up alongside and communicated with the craft, and while the occupants stated they did not want to be rescued, they did accept food and water. Everyone was observed to be alert and in good health, and the boat – while small and crowded – was not in immediate danger. The Carnival’s shoreside team and the United States Coast Guard were both contacted about the encounter. The cruise ship remained alongside the small craft until clarification of next steps was received, at which time the ship was released to continue on its sailing.

Cruise ship rescued five migrants
On Jan 2, 2023, the 'Carnival Celebration' spotted five people in distress on a small vessel about 29 miles northwest of Cuba. Once the migrants were rescued from their drifting boat, the 'Carnival Celebration' contacted the U.S. Coast Guard, which took them into custody offshore. The ship resumed on its voyage with its scheduled itinerary unaffected and returned to Miami in the morning of Jan 3 after a week-long Caribbean cruise.
