Tropical Depression Danny
This storm has weakened significantly and we are not anticipating any itinerary changes at this time for the following cruise departures: Carnival Triumph departing from New York on August 29; and Carnival Pride departing from Baltimore on August 29. The Carnival Miracle cruise that departed from New York on August 28 will visit Nassau on Monday, Half Moon Cay on Tuesday and Grand Turk on Wednesday.
Hurricane Jimena
We are closely monitoring the progress of Hurricane Jimena which is currently located about 250 miles southwest of Acapulco, Mexico. All of our ships are currently operating at a safe distance from this storm.
For the Carnival Elation cruise departing today (August 29) from San Diego, we plan to sail on our scheduled course to Cabo San Lucas. We will continue to monitor the storm and make itinerary adjustments if needed
For the Carnival Splendor cruise departing from Long Beach tomorrow (August 30), we will continue to evaluate the situation. It is possible that itinerary changes will be required; however we want to monitor the progress of the storm prior to departure tomorrow.
Rest assured, we will navigate our ships at a safe distance from the storm at all times. Our number one priority is the safety and comfort of our guests and crew.

Here is what Dr. Rob Carver (filling in for Dr Jefff Masters ) says this morning:
People along the western coast of Mexico and along along the Baja need to pay close attention to this dangerous storm. I emphasize that using the current track and intensity forecast, Jimena will be a Category 4 storm when it approaches the tip of Baja and a Category 3 storm when it makes landfall up the coast.
