We are closely monitoring the progress of Hurricane Gustav and
Tropical Storm Hanna. All of Carnival’s ships will continue to operate
at a safe distance from this storm at all times. Our number one

We have made some itinerary changes for several departures this week
in order to provide our guests with an enjoyable shore experience,
while operating the ships in the safest and most comfortable
conditions possible. These are listed below:

cruise will depart from Mobile at 4:00 PM on Wednesday and visit
Cozumel on Friday (arrive 8:00 PM; depart 5:00 PM).
Guests that sail on the new four-day cruise will receive a 25% refund
of the cruise fare paid. In addition, guests will receive a 25%
discount of a future three- to five-day Carnival Cruise departing
prior to December 15, 2009. This discount applies to the cruise fare

If guests elect to cancel the cruise, we ask that guests contact us
right away to cancel the booking. Guests will receive a full refund
