<div>MOBILE, Ala. &nbsp;--&nbsp; Mobile residents will see a new Carnival cruise ship along the waterfront Saturday, but only for a short time.&nbsp; Due to the closure of the Mississippi River, the current voyage of the 2,056-passenger Carnival Fantasy will end in Mobile, Ala., on Saturday, July 26, instead of its regular homeport of New Orleans.&nbsp; Carnival will bus the stranded cruisers back to the Port of New Orleans or the New Orleans airport.<br /><br />Carnival Fantasy&rsquo;s next voyage, set to depart on Saturday, July 26, will also depart from Mobile.&nbsp; Carnival will provide complimentary motorcoach transportation from New Orleans&rsquo; Erato Street cruise terminal to Mobile.&nbsp; <br /><br />All guests for the next voyage are instructed to proceed to the Port of New Orleans to board a motorcoach to Mobile, because at the end of the cruise, the Fantasy is expected to return to New Orleans.&nbsp; The only exception would be individuals who are being dropped off and not leaving a car and prefer to proceed on their own to Mobile.&nbsp; <br /><br />Both the voyage ending Saturday and the new one departing Saturday are five-day cruises to Progreso and Cozumel, Mexico. </div>
