What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorCarnival is cutting half of its cruise fleet in Australia, News.com.au reports, which means fewer ships sailing out of the country for anyone planning a holiday.

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo if you booked a cruise down under, check your email before you pack, because your ship might just be gone.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe summary doesn't say which ships or how many bookings are affected, so I wouldn't panic before breakfast.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHalf a fleet?
