By Donna TunneyThe Carnival Triumph was briefly held at its homeport in Galveston after a Texas judge issued an arrest warrant for the vessel in connection with a Costa Concordia lawsuit against Carnival Corp., the parent company of Carnival Cruise Lines and Costa Cruises.
The suit, filed by Eaves Law Firm of Jackson, Miss., on behalf of a woman from Germany who died in the Jan. 13 Concordia accident in Italy, sought the Carnival Triumph as security in its attempt to get Carnival Corp. to post a $10 million bond for damages.
U.S. Magistrate Judge John Froeschner of Galveston issued the arrest order on March 31, and the 2,758-passenger ship was forced to delay by several hours its scheduled departure on a five-day Western Caribbean cruise.
It was released that night after Carnival resolved the issue.
