Problems on Carnival Destiny force line to cancel cruises

The 2,642-passenger Carnival Destiny is experiencing a propulsion problem that will force the cancellation of two upcoming cruises and the modification of three others.

A Carnival spokesperson tells USA TODAY the problem began last week and is affecting the 14-year-old ship's sailing speed but nothing else. The Miami-based vessel will undergo a last-minute, seven-day dry dock starting on Feb. 13 to resolve the problem, the line says.

The three modified cruises all take place prior to the dry dock. The five-day cruise departing Jan. 30 will now visit Cozumel and Costa Maya instead of Ocho Rios and Grand Cayman. The four-day cruise departing Feb. 4 will visit Cozumel only; a call in Key West has been canceled. The five-day cruise departing Feb. 8 will now replace the scheduled call in Grand Turk with a stop at Freeport, along with visits to Nassau and Half Moon Cay.
