Hurricane Ian Forces Cruise Ships to Alter Course
byDori Saltzman/With Hurricane Ian bearing down on Florida’s west coast and the U.S. Coast Guard setting port X-Ray conditions (winds of 39 to 73 miles per hour are expected within the next 48 hours) for Tampa, several cruise lines have already been forced to reroute ships.
Here are the changes announced so far.
Carnival
Carnival Ecstasy, which departed on a six-day cruise on September 26 from Mobile, will reorder its scheduled port calls, switching Progreso, Mexico to Wednesday and Cozumel to Thursday instead of vice versa.
嘉年华的兴高采烈目前正在杰克逊维尔(Jacksonville)出发为期五天的行程,由于天气不良,今天9月27日在9月27日的海上访问了凯公主的访问。此外,该船现在将于9月28日访问Freeport,而不是预定的海上日。
嘉年华荣耀将于9月25日从新奥尔良出发进行为期八天的航行,将访问Mahogany Bay(Roatan),伯利兹(Belize)和科苏梅尔(Cozumel),而不是先前预定的港口呼叫到基韦斯特(Key West),自由港(Freeport)和拿骚(Nassau)。
狂欢节天堂目前正在海上,但在坦帕(Tampa)出海,将于9月29日星期四开始。目前尚不清楚该船是否能够在周四返回港口。计划于29日出发的航行巡洋舰被告知不要到达航站楼,除非他们从嘉年华获得确认可以做到这一点。
Celebrity Cruises
Celebrity Infinity, which departed Port Everglades on September 24, replaced stops in Belize and Cozumel with ports calls to Nassau and Labadee (Haiti).
MSC Cruises
9月24日离开迈阿密的MSC海滨已将其预定的西加勒比海行程换成了东加勒比海地区。该船现在正在巴哈马访问普拉特港(多米尼加共和国)以及海洋礁和拿骚。
MSC Divina, which is currently at sea, is homeported out of Orlando's Port Canaveral. While its itinerary remains out of the hurricane's projected path, guests were advised before sailing that conditions along Florida's west coast may prevent the ship from returning to Port Canaveral on the morning of September 29. Guests were given the option to cancel for a full refund or rebook on another date/ship.
Norwegian Cruise Line
Norwegian Sky, which departed Miami on September 25, has swapped out its scheduled Western Caribbean itinerary. Instead of visiting Grand Cayman, Roatan, Harvest Caye (Belize) and Cozumel, the ship is stopping at San Juan, Saint Thomas, Tortola and Nassau.
皇家加勒比海
Allure of the Seas, which departed from Port Everglades on September 25, is skipping its port stop in Roatan, scheduled for today.
Liberty of the Seas, which departed from Galveston on September 25, is skipping its port stop in Cozumel, also scheduled for today.
9月24日从加拿大港(Port Canaveral)出发,海洋的水手们出发了五晚的航行,于9月26日跳过了预定的停靠站。
