Disney Cruise Ship Rescues 12 Suspected Migrants From 'Rustic' Vessel

On Sunday, Disney Cruise Line's Disney Wonder was en route to the Cayman Islands when the vessel picked up 12 suspected migrants.

The ship, Disney Wonder was on its way from Miami to the Cayman Islands when the small vessel was spotted southeast of Cuba at about 8 p.m. Saturday.

There were no reported injuries but Rios said cruise ships have agreed to notify the Coast Guard if they see migrants on unsafe vessels at sea and to rescue them if necessary.

Mysuru again tops list of India's cleanest cities
While NDMC makes it to the top 5, South MCD has been ranked 39, North MCD 42, while East MCD is lower at 52. The survey, the government said, was conducted to promote a spirit of competition among the cities.

CNN reports that the cuban migrants were brought on board the Disney cruise ship, which has 11 decks of restaurants, pools, and recreation.

USA officials have noted an uptick in Cuban migrants trying to get to the United States on land and by sea. The boat had the 12 Cuban migrants in it.

This isn't the first time that cuban migrants were detained onboard a Disney Cruise. In 2013, the ship picked up eight people stranded on a raft off Key West. Since Obama made that announcement, over 43,000 cuban migrants have entered the United States in 2015, which is a 78 percent increase since a year ago.

Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh has improved its rank in "Swachh Survekshan-2016" to break into top 10 clean cities in India. Mysuru in Karnataka, Chandigarh and Tiruchirapalli in Tamil Nadu are in the sweet spot of Top 3.

Figures show more than 120 Cuban refugees have landed in the Cayman Islands since January.

Mr Rios said cruise ships have agreements to contact the US Coast Guard if they come in contact with migrants and hand them over to authorities. It's unclear whether they had been heading to the United States.

A growing number of Cuban migrants have been picked up recently.
