Carnival Cruises
HURRICANE SANDY UPDATE – 12:30PM – 10/28/12
We continue monitoring the forecasted path of Hurricane Sandy and keeping in close contact with port officials. As always the safety of our guests and crew is our number one concern and our ships will maintain a safe distance from the storm at all times.
CARNIVAL MIRACLE – 10/29/12 DEPARTURE NOW SCHEDULED TO DEPART SUNDAY 10/28/12
The port is expected to close at 6:00PM on Sunday. In an effort to continue with the cruise and keep safely away from the storm, the cruise will now depart on Sunday, October 28. Check-in is scheduled from 2:00PM to 4:00PM, and sailing is set for 5:00 PM from Pier 90.
Due to the short notice, we were unable to reschedule the delivery of our supplies (food, beverages, etc.) that was planned for Monday. Unfortunately, we will need to change our itinerary so that we can receive our provisions at the first port.
Below is the revised itinerary:
Day Port of Call Arrive Depart
Sun New York, NY 5:00 PM
Mon Fun Day @ Sea
Tue Fun Day @ Sea
Wed Port Canaveral, FL 7:00 AM 6:00 PM
Thu Nassau, The Bahamas 11:00 AM 8:00 PM
Fri Fun Day @ Sea
Sat Grand Turk 8:00 AM 5:00 PM
Sun Fun Day @ Sea
Mon Fun Day @ Sea
Tue New York, NY 8:00 AM
Guests who sail will be treated to complimentary gratuities for the extra day and will be reimbursed for any additional parking expenses at the port.
If you are unable to sail, please contact us at 1800 CARNIVAL.
CARNIVAL GLORY – 10/28/12 DEPARTURE HAS BEEN CANCELED Due to the storm, high winds and tidal flooding are expected in the Norfolk area. The Norfolk cruise terminal is positioned behind a major flood gate in the city which will likely close during the day tomorrow. When this happens, there will be no access to the cruise terminal.
We are sorry to say that we have no alternative but to cancel the 10/28 cruise. Refunds will be processed to the original form of payment within the next 2 weeks.
We know how much our guests were looking forward to this getaway and regret the disappointment this has caused. We look forward to welcoming you on board on another Fun Ship in the near future.
CARNIVAL PRIDE – 10/28 DEPARTURE - CANCELED
The US Coast Guard has just made us aware that we will not be able to depart from the Chesapeake Bay. At this time, it is uncertain when this restriction will be lifted. We respect the Coast Guard’s decision and since we do not know when we will be cleared to sail, we will not be able to operate this cruise.
Guests will be provided with a full refund (within two weeks to the form of payment) and a 25% future cruise discount. Parking expenses will be refunded as they leave the parking facility. Should guests need a hotel room for this evening, please have them contact a Guest Logistics team member in the terminal. We will also cover $30 per person for dinner this evening.
We are sorry for the disappointment this has caused.
There are no changes expected for any other sailings departing this
weekend. In the event we need to make a deviation to a future
itinerary, we will update our guests.
Norwegian Cruise Line
Hurricane Sandy UpdateSunday, October 28, 2012 at 10 am ET
At Norwegian Cruise Line, the safety and security of our guests and crew is of the utmost importance. Therefore, the company is closely monitoring the path of Hurricane Sandy and is modifying the following itineraries:
Norwegian Jewel will embark guests in New York and depart as scheduled today.
The US Coast Guard has advised that it will close the Port of New York as of 6 pm today, Sunday, October 28. Therefore, Norwegian Gem’s arrival in New York on Monday, October 29 will be delayed and the ship will remain at sea. The Coast Guard has not yet determined when it will re-open the Port of New York. Therefore, guests scheduled to sail on Norwegian Gem’s October 29 sailing are asked to continue to check ncl.com for the latest updates and information. We expect an update on the ship’s arrival and departure times on Sunday evening.
Norwegian Dawn will cancel its call to Portland, Maine on Tuesday, October 30 and instead stop in Halifax, Nova Scotia on Monday, October 29 from 10 am to 8 pm.
Guests on board these vessels will be kept up to date by the ship’s Captain.
We appreciate our guests’ understanding.

Information about the hurricane "Sandy"
Rostock, 28.10.2012, 22:30 clock
Change the itinerary of AIDAluna: Travel 28th October to 10 November 2012
Current weather forecasts, predict the arrival on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of the tropical cyclone Sandy in New York. In addition to strong winds and massive rainfall for New York, a storm surge is predicted. For this reason, the authorities have arranged a closure of the port from Sunday, 28.10.2012, 18.00 o’clock. For safety reason, all vessels are leaving the port. Therefore AIDAluna is departing on Sunday afternoon from New York. How long the port will remain closed from today's perspective cannot be predicted.
Information for guests who have booked their trip through AIDA Cruises:
Most guests, flying back from New York from the prior cruise, to a large extent, have already reached their home. A few travelers flying home on Sunday night were on canceled flights. Affected Guests were offered and encouraged to sail to Miami on board Aida Luna and from there begin their journey home.
For guests who did not arrive in New York in time for the AIDAluna’s early departure, are now alternatively to fly into Miami to meet the AidaLuna. The arrival of the ship in Miami is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon. All guests who have booked their trip through AIDA, and because of the port closure could not go to New York to board, will be contacted directly by AIDA Cruises and informed of their alternative flight. AIDA Cruises has arranged two full charter flights for Monday 30 October 2012, to transport travelers to Miami. More individual reservations and full charter flights are currently being booked for Monday and Tuesday to get to Florida. Once the airlines, have confirmed the reservations, we will inform our guests individually. Many guests have already been informed.
