NOVEMBER SHIPS LEAVING FROM MIAMI HAVE BEEN DEVERTED!!!!!!!

FROM THE CARNIVAL WEBSITE


The Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) Ministerial Meeting and Business Forum will be held in downtown Miami in November.

This important meeting is expected to attract over 100,000 visitors to a very concentrated area in downtown directly adjacent to the Port of Miami. We have carefully assessed this situation and have determined that the massive congestion that will be created by this meeting would result in a serious disruption to our operation from the Port of Miami during this time.

As a result, we will change the embarkation and/or debarkation port from Miami to Port Everglades (Ft. Lauderdale) for the following cruise departures:

Paradise
Saildate: 11/2/03
Embark: Miami
Debark: Port Everglades

Carnival will handle the logistics for this change as follows:

• Guests with air and/or transfers purchased from Carnival: Carnival will adjust the transfers to correspond with the changes to the embarkation or debarkation port.

• Guests with air purchased independently: Guests can purchase motorcoach transfers from Carnival. If guests elect to obtain an independent transfer (taxi, etc.), Carnival will not be responsible for this cost.

• Guests driving to the pier: Guests should park at the appropriate port of embarkation. In the event the ship returns to a different port of debarkation, Carnival will provide a complimentary motorcoach transfer back to the port of embarkation. Carnival will adjust the transfers to correspond with the changes to the embarkation or debarkation port.

We sincerely apologize for these itinerary changes. However, they will enable us to offer the best possible cruise experience for all of our guests.

Thanks for the heads up. You would think I would have caught this since I have been to the Carnival website so much recently. We are sailing on the Paradise 11/2 and this will effect us. I just hope we can make our flight home with the extra distance involved going back to Miami.
