President Trump imposed a short notice ban on ships visiting Cuba earlier this month, reversing liberalisation introduced by President Obama and leaving cruise companies to hastily reorganise itineraries.
Carnival said “the suddenness of the regulatory change to this high yielding destination has led to a near-term impact on revenue yields”.
Carnival Corporation chief executive Arnold Donald told the Miami Herald: “The reality is Cuba is gone for the foreseeable future and so it didn’t add into plans for next year and therefore, that higher-yielding itinerary is off the table.”
