No they plead guilty at the time so that it wouldnt be dragged out in court and cost more and so they could get back to what they do best...providing cruising fun for people like me...
The guilty pleas and allocutions in open court were detailed and compelling as to Carnival’s guilt. And it seems that Carnival is unable or unwilling to meet basic environmental responsibilities. If you go on their cruises, take care when you go walking or swimming on one of their exclusive beaches that you do not encounter Carnival cruise line sewage.
