Resumption of worldwide travel will one day be back, and until that day arrives, Carnival is marching onward within the bounds of its environmental compliance plan, now in its fourth year.
As Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer Peter Anderson mentioned back in fall 2019, incidents are assets. If the coronavirus’s presence aboard Carnival ships could be regarded as one enormous incident, then there would be many learnings—assets—to be unpacked. That is precisely what CEO Arnold Donald told the court in April; that the company was already learning a lot in the pause period so far.
