HURRICANE HELENE
September 25, 2024 | 6:30 PM (ET)
Our Fleet Operations Center in Miami continues to actively monitor Hurricane Helene, which is now entering the Gulf of Mexico. The safety of our guests and crew remains our priority and our ships are sailing a safe distance from the storm. Given Helene’s forecasted track over the next few days, the following homeports and itineraries are currently under watch:
JACKSONVILLE – In preparation for the storm, the port will close tonight.
Carnival Elation 09/21/2024 – The ship is currently sailing a safe distance from the storm, en route to Jacksonville. Given the storm’s path, it will not be able to return to Jacksonville Thursday, September 26. Once the storm passes and the port reopens, officials will be able to fully conduct a post-storm assessment before giving clearance to return. We are very tentatively anticipating sometime Friday, September 27, possibly later.
