"Pregnant Woman Denied Boarding on Carnival Cruise: The Astonishing Reason"

Carnival denied a pregnant woman and another passenger boarding on a cruise after they were found to be more than 24 weeks pregnant, citing safety concerns for the mothers and unborn babies. The woman's mother, who had booked the ticket, was refused a refund, leading to accusations of discrimination. Carnival's policy, outlined in their conditions of carriage, states that passengers beyond 24 weeks of pregnancy can be denied boarding without refund. This incident adds to a series of cases where passengers have had their cruise tickets canceled for various reasons.
