Carnival Glory rescued 16 migrants from a man-made raft this past weekend.
The cruise ship was returning to Miami near the end of a seven night cruise to the Western Caribbean when the migrants were spotted on a man-made raft. The United States Coast Guard was called and the 16 Cubans nationals were briefly brought on board.

The cruise ship was on a seven night cruise to the Western Caribbean with port stops in Cozumel, Belize, Roatan, and Grand Cayman.
