Carnival Splendor damaged by Fishing Nets

When sailing on her New Years cruise, she seems to have run over some drifting fishing nets. They got wrapped around the prop and damaged some of the seals.

The damage is not severe and she sailed on her next trip only needing to run a modified itinerary.

She should be ready for her next cruise by this weekend.

News just broke that her next cruise on the 13th will be delayed by a day.  Repairs are taking longer than expected in her repair port of Puerto Vallarta. She will leave this afternoon and make it to California by Monday morning.
