Celebrity’s Galapagos cruise cancelled amidst fishy regulations

Celebrity Cruises was forced to cancel two Galapagos Islands sailings when it was cited for violating an Ecuadorean law that the cruise line had no way of knowing existed because it had not yet been published.

The line’s 94-passenger Celebrity Xpedition was banned from the Galapagos National Park for…26 pounds of frozen lobster tails aboard.

But a new regulation requires that all lobster meat has to be consumed within five days of the end of the season. Celebrity said it was unaware of the law.
