Carnival Cruise Line has canceled six departures of the
Carnival Fascination because of hurricane damage to its terminal in San Juan.
The canceled voyages are the Sept. 24, Oct. 1 and Oct. 8
departures from San Juan and the Sept. 27, Oct. 4 and Oct. 11 departures from
Barbados.
Carnival said that port officials in San Juan have
discovered extensive damage to Carnival's terminal as a result of Hurricane
Maria. Carnival said the assessment is still in progress but it appears that it
will take several weeks to make the necessary repairs.
The Fascination docked at noon on Saturday in San Juan to
debark passengers who wanted to get off there. It is sailing now to Miami and
is expected to arrive at 7 p.m. today.
Carnival said its airline partners "are committed to
working with our guests to waive any change fees associated with rescheduling
flights." Carnival also said it would be working with guests who made
independent air arrangements.
Guests on the canceled cruises will have full refunds
automatically processed to their original form of payment, Carnival said.
