Carnival Swine Flu update

Carnival Cruise Lines has cancelled all port of call visits in Mexico for 16 ships that were scheduled to stop in that country.
Itineraries for vessels departing between April 30 and May 11 that included stops in Mexico have been modified. In many instances, the modification simply involved substituting an alternate port. Find full details on the modified itineraries at www.carnival.com/cms/fun/cruise_control/itinerary_updates.aspx.
Guests who do not wish to sail on a modified itinerary may opt to receive a refund in the form of a future cruise credit equal to the full amount paid for the voyage. The credit may be applied to an alternate sailing departing through the end of 2010. Compensation for missed ports/altered itineraries (where applicable) for guests who sail varies by itinerary. Four- and five-day cruises from Galveston and New Orleans are being converted to seven-day voyages, so those guests may opt to receive their refund in the form of a future cruise credit or money back.

Carnival announced today that they will continue to alter itineraries through June 15th for 16 of its ships that were scheduled to stop in Mexico.

Guests who do not wish to sail on a modified itinerary can opt to receive a refund in the form of a future cruise credit equal to the full amount paid for the voyage.

Here is the latest update--Carnival will begin cruises back to Mexico!

Carnival Cruise Lines will resume visits to Mexican ports of call based on the latest guidance from the Centers for Disease Control, which is no longer recommending against non-essential travel to Mexico. Once all voyages with previously modified itineraries are completed, those vessels will revert to their original routes featuring stops in Mexico. Most itineraries were modified through mid-June with the exception of the Holiday which was modified through late May. A ship-by-ship listing including dates for when each vessel will resume its original itinerary is available at http://www.carnival.com/cms/fun/cruise_control/itinerary_updates.aspx.
