Hurricane Paula - Latest Cruise Updates

Hurricane Paula  is a Category One storm located 55  miles east of the Cancun, Mexico moving north at 9 miles per hour with winds of near 100 miles per hour. On the current track, the storm will be near or over the western tip of Cuba tonight and or early Thursday.  Gradual weakening is expected. 

Watches and Warnings are in effect for the coast of Mexico including Cozumel.

 

 Vendor Changes – Ferry service between the mainland and Cozumel has been discontinued and resorts on the Yucatan peninsula are evacuating.  Over a dozen shelters have been opened to receive people fleeing the storm from Cozumel and Cancun.

Carnival - For cruises departing this Thursday through Sunday, we will continue to closely monitor the progress of the storm.  We are hopeful that we will be able to operate all of the scheduled itineraries.

The safety of our guests and crew is our number one priority and we base all of our itinerary decisions on the ability to operate the ships at a safe distance from the storm.  There is a chance that itinerary modifications will be required.  In that situation, we will make every effort to provide an attractive alternative itinerary.  While our policy does not provide for guest cancellations without penalty for weather-related itinerary changes, we know how much our guests value the ports of call and work hard to offer other destinations that will provide a great vacation experience.

 We will provide updates here on Carnival.com if any new information becomes available.  In the meantime, we look forward to welcoming our guests aboard all the Carnival ships this weekend.


Norwegian Cruise Line - Currently, all of our ships are sailing as scheduled. Norwegian Pearl will call on Roatán, Honduras today as planned.
