PORTMIAMI

Carnival Glory, Carnival Vista and Carnival Victory are returning to Miami and will be in position to dock in PortMiami, contingent on the port reopening tomorrow afternoon or Wednesday morning.

We sincerely apologize for the disruption Hurricane Irma has caused to your vacation plans and we look forward to welcoming our guests on board.

Please join us in keeping our Caribbean and Floridian friends, Carnival employees and those communities impacted by Hurricane Irma, in our thoughts and prayers.

Wow, a so many affected in so many different ways.

I was supposed to be on Conquest today and our flights have been cancelled. We have no way to get to Florida.

I've noticed that both PortMiami and Port Canaveral (and maybe PE? haven't checked recently) are all being very vague about when they might resume normal operations. I assume ('assume') it must be because they are waiting for infrastructure conditions (power, food, lodging, gas, flights) to improve on land.

Sorry Carnival treated you like that. Thanks for the port update.

Carnival treated us fine, just passing along some info.:)

So whats the problem. You cancelled.

No problem, I was just passing along some info. We cancelled because of flight issues originally although the port and Carnival would later have their own issues.

Ultimately, Carnival cancelled this cruise (Victory 9/12) and Delta ended up cancelling all of the flights we would have been on.

Port Canaveral is open and the Conquest and the Splendor are in port now.

This is a thread about the port of Miami, so when you bumped it I thought there had been a PoM update. :)

Also I'm 99% sure you mean Port Everglades, not Port Canaveral.

Sorry. I made two mistakes. Jump on this thread and it's the Port Everglades that is open and not Port Canaveral. Sorry again.
