Cruise Itineraries Continue to be Altered
August 31, 2005 – The entrance to the Mississippi river has been closed by officials, forcing more cruise ships to alter itineraries, following what many are saying is the most significant natural disaster to hit the United States.

Carnival Cruise Lines has announced the following changes:

New Orleans Cruises:
The Sensation Aug. 27cruise will now return to Galveston, Texas on Sept. 1.Guests will debark and take air or land transportation back home.

The Sensation Sept. 1 cruise will depart and return to Galveston, Texas.

The Sensation Sept. 5 cruise will now depart and return to Galveston, Texas.

Please note that all in-coming access into New Orleans and the Port is closed at this time. Guests that parked at the pier in New Orleans will not be able to access their cars until there is a complete assessment of the area. The Port of New Orleans hotline (1-866-476-7866) will provide updated information about access to the port area as it becomes available.

NTA will continue to post changes to itineraries as we become aware.
