IMANOT Posted May 9 Author #26 Share Posted May 9 Thanks for the support. I needed to change my return flight as I didn’t think we would get back in time. I took a gamble and moved both flights to Norfolk. I would have switched it back to Baltimore if needed. It paid off for me but the process was more stressful than I would have liked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PC 462 Posted May 15 #32 Share Posted May 15 The Coast Guard said that commercial vessels can now traverse the 48-foot channel daily from 8 PM to 6 AM. Too late for the usual cruise departure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if anyone parks at Norfolk for departure, is Carnival busing then back to Norfolk from Baltimore on 5/26? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMANOT Posted May 15 Author #35 Share Posted May 15 The May 19th sailing is leaving from Norfolk and arriving in Baltimore. They were told around the 8th or 9th to get prepared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PC 462 Posted May 15 #36 Share Posted May 15 From May 10. Carnival just gave this update to WMAR-2 News: "We informed our guests that we have been given a strong indication that cruise traffic can return to Baltimore before the end of May, and based on guidance from port officials, we are planning to embark guests on Carnival Pride's May 19 cruise in Norfolk, Va. but expect to conclude the sailing in Baltimore. We are encouraging our guests to register for our complimentary bus service between Baltimore and Norfolk for the sailing's embarkation. We remain in close contact with local, state, and federal officials regarding the return of our operations at the Port of Baltimore." Port officials tell WMAR-2 News they have no new information to share yet. They're waiting for an updated "Marine Safety Information Bulletin" from the Coast Guard, which is expected to have more details. From May 14 According to the Coast Guard, the Captain of the Port will open the 48-foot channel on May 14 for commercial vessels from 8 PM to 6 AM. Vessel transits will remain at the discretion of the Captain of the Port based on prevailing weather conditions and salvage operations. Winds must be less than 15 knots and two escort tugs are required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the whole that seems to be good news, though it still makes it interesting for people planning flights to make the timing work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
