Carnival Watches Beryl
Even though Beryl has been downgraded from a Hurricane to a Tropical Storm there could still be an impact on the cruise industry. One of the main cruise lines in the Caribbean is keeping a close eye on things as posted by Carnival Cruise Ambassador John Heald.
He posted the following:
For those of you sailing on the Carnival Magic, Carnival Sunshine, Carnival Glory and Carnival Fascination here is some news for you
We have been monitoring Hurricane Beryl, a category one storm which recently developed in the Atlantic. In conjunction with our Fleet Operations Center in Miami, we will continue to keep an eye on the path of the storm. Based on the latest forecast, our plan is to proceed with our scheduled itinerary. Should any changes become necessary, we will provide our guests with an update.
Everyone’s safety is our number one priority. Our ships will be operating at a safe distance from the storm at all times.
For now, no Carnival cruise ship itineraries have been impacted by the cruise line. Those guests booked in sailings for Carnival Magic, Carnival Sunshine, Carnival Glory and Carnival Fascination will go ahead as normal. Guests will be updated if there are any changes.
