Carnival Cruise Line shares close-to-last Hurricane Milton update
The cruise line still has multiple ships stuck at sea and many passengers with questions.
While Florida looks to choose up the pieces after an incredible part of the state dealt with the devastation wreaked by Hurricane Milton, multiple Carnival Cruise Line are still stricken by the storm.
Carnival Brand Ambassador John Heald has been doing his best to keep passengers and the people worried about them up-to-the-minute with what's going down. It truly is a challenge because the cruise line does now not make all of the decisions that affect its passengers and the people taking a look to board the following cruise on those ships.
The Coast Guard, to demonstrate, decides when the cruise ports reopen, and those decisions will play a significant part in when Carnival can bring its ships home an even technique to send them out again. Image source: Shutterstock
