October 20, 2009 – 11:00 AM

We are closely monitoring Tropical Storm Rick which has developed off the west coast of Mexico. The storm is forecast to pass south of Cabo San Lucas tonight and make landfall on Mexico’s mainland on Wednesday.

The following are the itinerary plans for the October 18, 2009 departures on Carnival Splendor and Carnival Spirit:

Carnival Splendor – The ship visited Ensenada on Monday and will call in Puerta Vallarta on Thursday and Cabo San Lucas on Friday.

Carnival Spirit – The ship will operate the scheduled itinerary.

Our highly trained officers and crew will do everything possible to minimize the impact to the cruise experience for our guests. The ships will navigate at a safe distance from the storm at all times. Carnival’s number one priority is the safety of our guests and crew.

This information will be updated if any additional changes are required.
