<p>The Galveston Daily News has some bad news this morning for people who sailed out of Galveston last week on cruises to the Caribbean: Your cars are more than likely ruined. </p><p>The news outlet quotes a city spokeswoman who says vehicles left in port parking lots last week by cruise passengers &quot;are most likely a total loss&quot; due to damage from Hurricane Ike. </p><p>Two ships sailed out of Galveston before the storm hit on Saturday -- the 2,974-passenger Carnival Conquest and the 2,052-passenger Carnival Ecstasy. As of early this morning, both were still at sea. As we reported last week, Carnival decided to go ahead with the Ecstasy sailing even after it became clear the storm would make landfall near the city and officials had issued a mandatory evacuation order.</p><p>The Daily News also says the Port of Galveston could be shut down for an extended period in the wake of Hurricane Ike, and cruises likely will not resume for some time. The cruise terminal was flooded with two to three feet of water, and the wall next to the water was torn down, the news outlet says. </p><p>As we reported late Sunday, Carnival already has canceled two cruises scheduled to begin today at the port. The line says passengers scheduled to sail on the cruises -- on the Conquest and Ecstasy -- will receive full refunds.</p><p>With the Port of Galveston closed, the two ships are now heading to New Orleans, where they will disembark passengers over the next two days. </p><p>&nbsp;</p>
