<p>Grand Turk, home to a Carnival Corp.-built cruise port, appears to have sustained &ldquo;substantial&rdquo; damage from Hurricane Ike, which also forced itinerary changes for a number of cruise ships. &ldquo;It appears it is going to take some time for Grand Turk to recover,&rdquo; Carnival said. &ldquo;As a result, we are not able to provide an estimate for re-opening of the Grand Turk cruise facility at this time. Once overall reconstruction on the island gets underway, we can better evaluate the situation. We will pass along any additional details that may become available in the coming days specifically regarding the status of the Grand Turk Cruise Center.&rdquo;</p><p><br />Meanwhile, Carnival Cruise Lines amended itineraries for a number of ships in the Caribbean due to the hurricane. Carnival Liberty&rsquo;s Sept. 6 cruise from Miami will replace the scheduled Eastern Caribbean itinerary with visits to Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Belize and Isla Roatan, Honduras. Carnival Miracle&rsquo;s Sept. 6 cruise from New York will replace the scheduled call in Grand Turk with a visit to Tortola on Thursday. Carnival Fascination&rsquo;s Sept. 8 departure from Miami will visit Nassau on Wednesday and Freeport on Thursday.

Carnival Inspiration&rsquo;s Sept. 8 cruise from Tampa will visit Progreso on Wednesday and Cozumel on Thursday.
