The Port of Galveston, which has been closed to commercial traffic due to extreme flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey, is working to get the port ready to receive cruise ships.
Due to the port’s closing, Carnival’s three Galveston-based ships diverted course to New Orleans and stopped there to allow guests to disembark if they wished to make independent arrangements to return home or travel to another location. Otherwise, guests could elect to stay on board the ships.
