— "While there is a US State Department Advisory with specific reference to Freeport and Nassau, our shipboard team has not made any announcements about Freeport," a Carnival Cruise Line sspokesperson said yesterday. "We are confused by the allegations. As a standard practice, we advise guests visiting destinations to follow well-cited travel advice and stay in main tourist areas, not carry large sums of cash they don't intend to spend, and not wear lots of jewellery. Our guests love visiting Freeport."
On Tuesday, two cruise ships, Carnival Dream and Carnival Sunshine, brought over 7,000 guests to Grand Bahama. A bus took passengers to the Prop Club at the Grand Lucayan Resort. The visitors stayed there all day, visiting the restaurant and beach.

Previous sources said that Michelle Bond (the woman in question) has received at least $400,000 in consulting fees from FTX Digital Markets — the entity that Salame ran.
