SEPTEMBER 12, 2008 – 1:30 PM
We are closely monitoring the progress of Hurricane Ike. All of
Carnival’s ships continue to operate at a safe distance from this
storm. Our number one priority is the safety of our guests and crew.
For our cruises scheduled to depart from Galveston on Sunday or
Monday, here are the current plans:
Carnival Conquest September 14, 2008 Departure
Based on all the information available to us now, we do not expect the
Port of Galveston to be open on Sunday. We have now decided to operate
a 6 day cruise departing on Monday, September 15. This cruise will
visit Grand Cayman and Cozumel.
Guests that elect to sail on this cruise will receive a 15% refund of
cruise fare. In addition, we will provide a 25% discount on a future 3
to 7 day cruise departing prior to December 15, 2009.
There is some chance that the Port of Galveston will remain closed on
Monday. If that occurs, we will operate a 5 day cruise departing on
Tuesday, September 16.
We will send a communication to all guests on this cruise no later
than 7:00 PM (CDT) on Sunday to advise any changes to our plans to
operate the 6 day cruise on Monday, September 15.
Carnival Ecstasy September 15, 2008 Departure
We are planning to operate this cruise as scheduled with departure on
Monday, September 15.
There is some chance that the Port of Galveston will not be open on
Monday. If that occurs, we will operate a 4 day cruise departing on
Tuesday, September 16.
We will send a communication to all guests on this cruise no later
than 7:00 PM (CDT) on Sunday to advise any changes to our plans to
operate the scheduled 5 day cruise on Monday, September 15.
We want to thank all of our guests for sailing with us. We look
forward to welcoming you aboard the Carnival Conquest and Carnival
Ecstasy on Monday.
