Cruise Line Cancellations to Mexican Ports of Call
Yesterday evening the Center for Disease Control and Prevention decided to issue a travel warning advising people to forego any nonessential travel to Mexico. The U.S. Department of State also issued a similar alert due to the Swine flu outbreak. Today the cruise lines have started to address the issue. Holland America, Princess and Carnival cruise lines have all confirmed that they will be changing their itinerary to avoid Mexican ports of call.
Today two of Princess Cruises ships the Sapphire and Coral Princess skipped scheduled stops along the Mexican Riviera, and were replaced by San Diego and Catalina. Passengers aboard Holland America’s Ryndam were scheduled to be in Mazatlan today but instead skipped that port of call. Also, Holland American announced that five of their ships will be changing their itineraries to avoid Mexico. The Ryndam, Statendam, Westerdam, Veendam and Zuiderdam will all be sailing a yet to be released itinerary.
Meanwhile three Carnival ships were supposed to dock in Mexican ports today. The Carnival Holiday and Inspiration were supposed to spend the day in Cozumel, while the Carnival Elation was set to dock in Ensenada. None of those ships made their stops today. It has also been announced that the Carnival Paradise will be skipping Ensenada tomorrow.
Stay tuned for more information to see what the revised itineraries will look like, and to see what the other cruise lines will be doing to keep their beloved customers healthy and happy.
