MOBILE, Alabama – In a statement issued Monday afternoon, Carnival Corp. announced it will, in fact, reimburse the U.S. government for taxpayer dollars spent addressing at least two distressed ships, including the Triumph.

“Carnival Corporation is in the process of voluntarily submitting payment to the U.S. Treasury Department to reimburse the federal government for costs related to the Carnival Triumph and Splendor incidents,” the statement reads.

The statement does not specify, or even hint at, a possible sum.

Wonder who twisted their arm..and how hard.

Story will most likely sink, tho, in light of Boston.
