Carnival Fantasy - New Orleans Mississippi River oil spill update
All cruises on Carnival Fantasy originally departing from New Orleans thru
September 1 have been diverted to Mobile, AL. http://www.carnival.com/cms/fun/crui...s_Update2.aspx It will then go in for its scheduled drydock and Evolutions of Fun upgrade. It will finally return to New Orleans for the October 4 cruise. -- Andy P. Jung Metairie, Louisiana U.S.A.

It will be fun reading your report when you return. What additional information are you looking for? Andy provided the link to the Carnival website notice that sets out the change to the Mobile cruise terminal for upcoming cruises through September 1. Although your cruise departing on the 28th is not listed, I think that is only because it is a charter. I Googled and found the Elvis cruise website, which has NOT been updated to reflect the change to Mobile: http://www.theelviscruise.com/Destin...5/Default.aspx I Googled "Mobile cruise terminal" and got the port site on the first hit: http://www.shipmobile.com/ It will tell you the exact location and parking information. Where are you driving from? You can re-map your driving directions with any online mapping application. Yes, you should receive some sort of notice from Carnival soon. IMO you should have already received something from your TA and/or the Elvis cruise charter folks. But I can't imagine that the notice will provide much more information than Carnival has already published on its website. Your reference to plans to drive to the port suggests you will not be impacted by the change except to the extent of your personal road trip plans. Because several cruises before you will operate out of Mobile, I'd suggest you follow the discussions over at Cruise Critic to learn updated logistical tips about the Fantasy's temporary use of the Mobile cruise terminal. Also, note that the Carnival Holiday has been using Mobile for a while, so you can also search for info that way. A good forum to check would be the Gulf Coast ports board at http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=414 Did you sign up for the roll call for your cruise? Folks are likely talking about the switch there. It's almost here. Have fun! Diana Ball Austin, TX |

Becca No problem, I've always wanted to know that little tidbit of the 80 ft depth. The deepest point of the Mississippi River is just downriver at Algiers point across from the French Quarter where the river curves causing it to be over 200 feet deep. -- Andy P.

Wow, that is awfully deep for a river. My parents lived in New Orleans, that is where they were married. Now, she lives near me, I am in Shreveport. When is the next Chee-Weez cruise? We need cruise on the same ship, sometime, Andy. Becca |

I have a feeling that they will not cruise again next year probably due to a spat with their travel/event booking agent (half of the band didn't get suites) during last year's cruise. -- Andy P.

It could be the cruise line's fault or it could the booking agent. I hope they can work out their differences. Becca |
