Port of Galveston
Fogged In
Carnival Triumph
Departure Delayed
The port of Galveston is a great place to start your cruise vacation. The boardwalk has shops and restaurants for you to enjoy before departure.
Galveston Channel Closed
Due
to dense fog (zero visibility) Galveston channel was closed today.
Therefore, Carnival Triumph’s arrival today Saturday, January 21st was delayed until conditions improved sufficiently for the channel to
reopen for marine traffic. Carnival Triumph remained at anchorage at
the pilot station.
Passengers Updated by Cruise Director
It
looks like the fog is starting to clear nearer to the terminal and the
island. It’s still pretty thick where we are. In his last
announcement, Captain Los said that we might be able to board the pilot
by 11:15am. This would put us alongside at 12:45pm or 1:00pm. At this
point, the phone lines have been opened and are complimentary so that
guests can update/change travel arrangements. We’re going to start
serving lunch in about an hour. Hopefully, the fog will clear soon.
Arriving Passengers: TEXT CCL1 to 36500 for text updates
