Hurricane Milton affects cruise schedules

Carnival Cruise Line has announced significant delays to several ships in the fleet due to the approaching Hurricane Milton. The cruise line has already informed guests that a cruise on the 'Carnival Paradise' has been cancelled and that the ship, while not cancelled yet, would not be able to return to port on Oct 10, 2024. The arrival of the 'Carnival Valor' in Miami on Oct 10 would be delayed. The 'Carnival Sunrise' would not be returning to Miami as scheduled on Oct 10. The 'Carnival Glory' would not be returning to Port Canaveral on Oct 11. Passengers were assured on Oct 9 that they would be kept updated on the situation and provided with available options as soon as possible.

Cruise ship rescued 27 refugees

On April 21, 2024, on the first full day of her current cruise, the 'Carnival Paradise' rescued 27 refugees from Cuba west of the island nation en route to Roatan, Honduras. All of them were brought safely aboard the ship and provided with emergency care, while official authorities were notified regarding the next steps. At approximately 2:30 p.m. the bridge crew spotted a small boat signaling for assistance. The cruise ship immediately turned to render aid, bringing aboard 27 Cuban nationals from the overcrowded boat approximately 20 miles southeast of Los Cajuelos. The small wooden boat was in poor condition, with a makeshift sail. The US Coast Guard Sector Key West was notified, as were Roatan officials. The refugees were to be turned over to authorities as soon as possible, as is standard procedure with these incidents. Because Carnival Paradise was on a scheduled day at sea, the time spent with the rescue operation will not significantly impact the ship’s itinerary. The 'Carnival Paradise' had left the port of Tampa, Florida, on April 20, for the 5-night Western Caribbean sailing. After visiting Roatan on April 22, the ship was scheduled to visit Cozumel, Mexico on April 23 before another day at sea. The cruise will end in Tampa on April 25. At this time, there were no expected changes or delays to the ship’s itinerary or overall schedule.

Cruise ship rescued Cubans from makeshift boat

For the second time in less than a month, the 'Carnival Paradise' on Aug 21 has come to the rescue of six Cuban refugees from a makeshift boat. The cruise ship stopped and then a boat made of styrofoam and plywood drifted to the side of the ship. The six were taken aboard the cruise ship and then transferred to a small boat with Mexican officials on board as they approached the port in Cancun.
