The May 28, June 2 and June 6 departures of Carnival Freedom from Port Canaveral have been cancelled. Once guests are transferred from Carnival Freedom, the ship will proceed to Freeport for a repair to the funnel. Carnival Conquest will then return to Miami, and her May 30 departure will be shortened by one day, with guests embarking on May 31. Carnival Conquest will arrive to Grand Turk on Saturday, May 28 and guests aboard Carnival Freedom will transfer to Carnival Conquest for the voyage back to Port Canaveral, arriving on Monday, May 30. Carnival Conquest’s next cruise, departing May 27 from Miami has been cancelled and that ship will be deployed to Grand Turk to transport Freedom guests back to Port Canaveral. There are 2504 guests and 972 crew on board. While the majority of Carnival Freedom’s guests went ashore in Grand Turk today, Carnival’s technical team completed an initial assessment of the funnel and related features, and the shoreside team completed a plan to get our guests back to Port Canaveral. On Thursday morning while in port at Grand Turk, Carnival Freedom’s emergency response team quickly activated and extinguished a fire inside the ship’s funnel. All guests and crew are safe, and all other ship, hotel, and guest services, along with safety equipment are fully functioning.

The ship’s May 28, June 2 and June 6 departures were cancelled so repairs could be made. Work to Carnival Freedom’s funnel began while the ship was still in Grand Turk and will continue at the Grand Bahama shipyard in Freeport. We are grateful to our guests for their support as our team worked this weekend to bring them back to Port Canaveral on Carnival Conquest, and we remain proud of our Carnival Freedom crew who handled the situation on the ship effectively and according to safety protocols.
