As Hurricane
Maria nears the Leeward Islands, Carnival Cruise Line has adjusted itineraries,
some of them for the second time in five days.
Carnival Glory's
Sept. 16 cruise will shift from the eastern Caribbean to the west, with port
calls in Ocho Rios, Jamaica; Grand Cayman Roatan, Honduras; and Cozumel, Mexico. Last week, Carnival reset
Glory's eastern Caribbean itinerary to skip St. Thomas, which was devastated by Hurricane Irma.
Likewise, the
Sept. 16 departure of Carnival Magic will now visit Amber Cove, Dominican Republic; Montego Bay,
Jamaica; Grand Cayman; and Cozumel. After departing Port Canaveral, the eight-day
cruise was expected to stop in Grand Turk, San Juan, St. Kitts, and Antigua
(substituting for hurricane-wracked St. Maarten), all in the eastern Caribbean.
Carnival
Fascination's Sept. 17 departure from San Juan will now operate to Grenada,
Barbados, St. Lucia, Antigua and St. Kitts.
Carnival
confirmed that the Carnival Victory, departing Miami on Monday Sept. 18, will
operate a four-day cruise to Cozumel, skipping a scheduled stop at Key West.
