We are also scheduled on the Carnival Paradise leaving Tampa on Thursday the 29th. Just watching the Weather Channel and they are expecting hurricane winds and rain starting Wednesday afternoon through Friday morning with winds up to 100 mph. I can't imagine embarkation either Thursday or Friday.
Canival Cruise does not "call it" until 48 hrs prior to cruise, according to a Carnival representative yesterday.
We are frequent Carnival cruisers but we absolutely hate not knowing where this cruise stands with Tampa being in the impact cone of Ian. The entire state of Florida is under a state of emergency.
Welcome any information or update.
Thanks,
Karen
