Carnival Updates on Hurricane Ian for Multiple Ships

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

As a result, the following voyages have been canceled: the four-day Carnival Paradise voyage scheduled to depart Tampa on September 29th, the September 29th four-day cruise on Carnival Elation from Jacksonville, and the three-day Carnival Liberty cruise from Port Canaveral scheduled for September 30th.

Booked guests will receive a full refund plus a 25 percent future cruise credit.
