“This is a situation where you couldn’t have a much bigger PR disaster,” Finkelstein tells CNBC. “Everything went wrong.”

Going forward, Carnival must exceed consumer expectations, says Finkelstein. “You can’t prevent every accident, every incident. We all know that. But you’ve got to be able to do something about it once it happens, so that people feel like it won’t happen again.”
