I agree with the others Robert.  We have had the tv on Fox News all day and as sad as it is, I think Galveston is going to be destroyed and it is highly unlikely you are even going to get into that city, let alone sail out of it.  Right now, Shepherd Smith is reporting on it and he said that earlier they were reporting that people who stayed faced probable death and now they are saying certain death.  Some hurricane expert is saying that he thinks there will probably be a tsunami in Galveston.  If it were me, I would not risk my life for the discount on a future cruise and I do believe that Carnival will be forced to cancel completely.  Someone in Galveston is reporting now - hard to hear what he is saying as he keeps losing his connection but he was saying something about the pier being completely gone now and it is becoming suicidal to be outside there now because of all the flying debris.
