Coast Guard Sector Houston-Galveston watchstanders received a medevac request at 7:55 p.m. from the cruise ship, stating a 52-year-old male passenger presented symptoms of a stroke aboard the vessel. Watchstanders consulted with the duty flight surgeon, who recommended a medevac.

Cruise shortened due to delay

Carnival Cruise Line has informed passengers booked on the 'Carnival Breeze' that the April 30 sailing from Galveston has been shortened. After a transatlantic journey from dry docking in Cadíz, the vessel is delayed in arriving back in Galveston, Texas. The ship’s first voyage from the Port of Galveston has been shortened from a five-day cruise to a four-day cruise. Carnival Cruise Line said, “The ship will be arriving into Galveston a day later than scheduled. As a result, the voyage will now operate as a 4-day cruise departing on Sunday, 05/01/22, with a visit to Cozumel, Mexico.” The vessel was scheduled to sail a five-day itinerary departing on April 30, including calls Progreso and Cozumel. The shortened cruise will now be departing a day later on May 1, and will only include a port of call in Cozumel. With the departure of the 'Carnival Breeze' on May 1, it has also resulted in the need to use the same cruise terminal as the 'Carnival Dream', which is also departing on May 1.
