Carnival Cruise Line has canceled a weekend cruise out of Tampa due to the port being closed and the ship arriving back over two days later than scheduled.
The September 26 sailing on Carnival Paradise has been canceled. Carnival Cruise Line was hoping the port would reopen so the ship could sail a shortened three day cruise. Unfortunately, that’s unable to happen.
Carnival issued a statement saying that the cruise ship would not be able to return to Tampa until tomorrow afternoon. Because of the late arrival, Carnival decided to cancel the cruise and give all guests a full refund.
Since the ship isn’t arriving until tomorrow afternoon, it didn’t make sense to sail a one and a half day cruise when it was scheduled as a four day cruise…
