Carnival has been ordered to pay $20 million for environmental violations for dumping plastic and other waste overboard:
Carnival Corp. and its subsidiary Princess Cruise Lines has been ordered to pay $20 million for environmental violations just two years after it paid $40 million for dumping oil-contaminated waste into the ocean, the largest penalty of its kind at the time.
“While serving 5 years of probation, all Carnival related cruise lines vessels eligible to trade in U.S. ports were required to comply with a court approved and supervised environmental compliance plan, including audits by an independent company and oversight by a court appointed monitor,” it said.

“A corporation is responsible to its shareholders and board of directors to be profitable, but not by breaking the law and destroying the very environment in which it navigates for profit,” said U.S. Attorney Ariana Fajardo Orshan for the Southern District of Florida.
