MIAMI — A federal judge has threatened to temporarily block Carnival Corp. from docking cruise ships at ports in the United States as punishment for a possible probation violation. The company has acknowledged these incidents in court filings. The court filings say that during 2017 Carnival had a program in place to prepare ships in advance of the audits to avoid negative findings. The same ship, according to court filings, dumped 26,000 gallons of grey water into Glacier Bay National Park in September 2018. Monitors also found that the Carnival Elation ship dumped plastic garbage overboard during an audit in December.
