Travel-Carnival Cruise Prices

Carnival Cruise Lines prices have taken a dip this spring, according to pricing data, and some industry observers are blaming headlines over problems on several Carnival ships. The fares on this trip and some others began to sink following headlines about an engine fire that knocked out power on the Carnival Triumph in mid-February. Passengers endured filthy conditions as the trip was towed to Mobile, Ala., resurrecting stories of a similar incident from 2010 aboard the Carnival Splendor. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert, file)
