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.<br /><br />For our cruises scheduled to depart from Galveston on Sunday or Monday, here are the current plans:<br /><br />Carnival Conquest September 14, 2008 Departure<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br /><br /> <br /> <br />
