Two Carnival ships preparing for cruises from Mobile, Ala., and New Orleans will be delayed due to the path of Tropical Storm Ida.
The storm, downgraded from a hurricane on Monday morning, is expected to make landfall Tuesday morning.
The Carnival Fantasy’s first sailing from Mobile will be delayed one day due to the temporary closing of Mobile’s port. The Fantasy will now operate a modified five-day cruise leaving Nov. 11. The ship will call in Cozumel and Costa Maya.
The Fantasy was originally scheduled to operate a six-day cruise departing Nov. 10.
Carnival said that passengers on the shortened trip will receive a pro-rated refund of the paid cruise. Passengers also have the option to cancel and receive a full refund.
The Carnival Triumph's first sailing out New Orleans will also be delayed due to the closure of the port there.
The Triumph will operate a three-day cruise from New Orleans departing Nov. 11, instead of a four-day cruise departing Nov. 10.
Guests on that cruise will get a 50% refund of their fare and can also cancel for a full refund.
