NCL and Carnival Drop Joystar
In a statement, NCL said: 'Effective immediately, NCL has chosen not to continue its business relationship with Joystar Cruises. The company will no longer accept new reservations from Joystar or any of its affiliated agents. NCL will continue to service existing Joystar reservations booked prior to January 5, 2009.'
Meanwhile, Carnival confirmed that it has placed JoyStar on a 'do not book status.' Carnival said it is 'no longer accepting business from them based on continuing concerns over the commission payments to JoyStar agents.' Carnival made the decision January 7.
