Carnival Cruise Line has provided an update on itinerary changes and cancellations for five of its ships sailing in the Caribbean region, as its Fleet Operations team in Miami continues to monitor Hurricane Ian.

Because of expected weather impacts, the Port of Tampa Bay and the Port of Jacksonville are now closed. As a result, the four-day Carnival Paradise voyage scheduled to depart Tampa on September 29th is now canceled, as well as the September 29th four-day cruise on Carnival Elation from Jacksonville. Booked guests will receive a full refund plus a 25 percent future cruise credit.

As well, itineraries have been adjusted for the following sailings:

Carnival Sunrise

Sunrise is currently operating a four-night itinerary out of Miami that departing on September 24th. The voyage will not stop at Bimini on Wednesday, September 28th as planned. Instead, the vessel will spend the day at sea and is expected to return to Miami as scheduled on September 29th.

Carnival Paradise

Paradise is currently operating a five-night cruise from Tampa. The ship will be extending today’s visit to Cozumel overnight, and is scheduled to depart on Wednesday, September 28th. It will then head back towards Tampa, but remain a safe distance from the storm while Carnival’s team determines when it can return to the Port of Tampa.

Carnival Elation

Carnival Elation is currently on a five-night sailing from Jacksonville, and replaced today’s scheduled call to Princess Cays with a sea day. The vessel will visit Freeport, Bahamas on September 28th instead of having a scheduled sea day. It is likely that the cruise will be extended until JAXPORT reopens once the storm has passed.

Carnival Ecstasy

Ecstasy departed Mobile, Alabama on September 26th on five-night cruise and will visit Progreso on Wednesday and Cozumel on Thursday. These are the same ports as the original itinerary, but reordered; initially the itinerary was set for a visit to Cozumel before Progreso.

Carnival Glory

Carnival Glory departed New Orleans on Sunday, September 25th for a seven-night cruise. Instead of visiting Key West and two ports in the Bahamas, the ship will now stop in Roatán, Belize, and Cozumel.
