Stop in New York skipped to bring in more staff
Carnival Corp’s Cunard unit said on on Dec 29 that the 'Queen Mary 2' will skip a scheduled stop at New York and instead extend its stay in Barbados until Jan. 2, 2022, to bring in more staffers. The decision to add more crew members was explained as a precautionary measure, but the company did not expand on why it needed more workers on the ship. The vessel was among the more than 85 ships the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is investigating for onboard COVID-19 cases. The ship left Southampton on Dec. 13 and will sail back to the United Kingdom after its stay in Barbados to ensure it reaches the British port city on Jan. 10 as planned.
