Passengers and their luggage will be transferred between the two ships and since they are sister ships passengers will be receiving comparable stateroom assignments on the new ship. The current plan calls for the Carnival Conquest to arrive at Grand Turk on Saturday, May 28 in the late afternoon. The Carnival Conquest was returning today to Florida from a cruise, and after disembarking her passengers this morning immediately departed from Miami for the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Instead, Carnival elected to send a sister ship, the Carnival Conquest, to transfer the passenger back to Florida. A preliminary assessment was being conducted at the airport in Grand Turk for the possibility of charter flights to transfer the passengers from the cruise ship, but an airlift would require shuttling passengers on smaller planes. “We understand this extends the time you had planned to be away from home and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this delay may cause you.”Ī Carnival support team arrived at Grand Turk yesterday evening to further survey the damage and make arrangements for the 2,504 passengers on the current cruise. “In order to get you home as soon as possible, we have made arrangements to send Carnival Conquest to Grand Turk to sail back to Port Canaveral,” wrote Captain Mario Imbimbo in a letter distributed to passengers on the Carnival Freedom. While the fire teams were able to extinguish the fire containing the damage, technical teams reported that the ship needs to head to the shipyard at Freeport for repairs. Carnival Cruise Line reported that it is sending a ship to Grand Turk to evacuate the passengers after the fire yesterday aboard the Carnival Freedom.
