UPDATE ON CARNIVAL CRUISE LINES' PORT CANAVERAL OPERATIONS:
FANTASY VOYAGE DEPARTING THURS., SEPT. 9 WILL OPERATE FROM MIAMI

MIAMI (9/7/04) - Based on the latest information from the
Canaveral Port Authority, Carnival Cruise Lines finds it necessary to
modify the departure port for the three-day Fantasy cruise scheduled

voyage from there, as scheduled. However, based on further
assessments of the conditions at Port Canaveral as of this morning,
Carnival has been advised that the port will not be ready to receive
cruise ships on Thursday. The company realizes this has been a
tremendously frustrating experience for its guests and apologizes for
the on-going changes and adjustments that have been necessary in the

Canaveral on Sun., Sept. 5, was cancelled. Guests may choose between
a future cruise credit or full refund.
