Heavy surf conditions and strong, gusty winds rattle more than pool cages and homes in Central Florida. Cruise ships unable to make land yesterday and today are running modified itineraries and even being held out at sea, waiting for conditions to improve.
The Port of Tampa was hoping to see Carnival Inspiration early yesterday but the ship was held out at sea due to weather conditions, leaving on-board passengers scrambling to modify travel plans to their luxury Florida villas. A new batch of passengers hoping to escape the Florida cold and get on board by Noon were held off and had their vacations cut short a day. Embarkation was held off with oncoming passengers given several options by Miami-based Carnival Cruise Line
- Sail with us and receive a one day pro-rated refund of your cruise fare (within 2-3 weeks) and a 20% future cruise discount (3 to 5 days). In addition to the $15 lunch allowance, government fees and pre-purchased shore excursions for Grand Cayman will be reimbursed via an on-board credit.
- Reschedule your cruise and receive a future cruise credit in the amount of your cruise fare.
- If you wish to stay in the Tampa area this evening, a discounted rate is available at the select hotels listed below. Complimentary, round-trip shuttle service to and from these properties to the terminal is also available.
- Guests who need to reclaim their bags from the porters, will be contacted by Zone Number once the lay down process in the luggage hall has been completed.
- Refunds will not be provided for hotel accommodations, meals, transfers or other incidental costs.
Yesterday, the line modified the itineraries of several ships Carnival Fascination spent the day at sea rather than visiting Key West. Carnival Freedom is in Cozumel today, avoiding a Key West call also.
