Very curious to know how Carnival made that decision.

I am guessing it was based on when they could dock the ship in Baltimore.

After coordinating with the port? The Port of Baltimore announced Royal Caribbean was returning on the 25th earlier in the week, then announced Carnival’s return on the 26th yesterday.

 

The current plan is to refloat the Dali early Monday morning, where it will take 21 hours to get to its dock.

same dates i have heard, working in Norfolk in Maritime industry, those crews have been busting $$ the last few months, and continue to do so. I know many crews around here are up there working. 
It has been nice to see the cruise ships here in port, and especially since we are cruising out of Baltimore in a few months, was nice to go down and see the ship we will be cruising on 🙂 we have never cruised, so this will be our first. granted leaving from Norfolk would be nice since we are local, we do not mind the drive up to Baltimore for our cruise.
here is a shot of hte Carnival Pride leaving Norfolk last night (Sunday). this will be the ship we are cruising on 😮

as a side note she will NOT return to Norfolk, plan is to return to Baltimore ! 

Carnival will return cruising from Baltimore May 26 🙂

It's not the Pride, but there is a cruise ship in Baltimore today. It's Vision of the Seas. Sails tomorrow.!

[BearsFan315]

Sounds like a bit of a headache for those who got on in Norfolk. I'm surprised they aren't unloading in Norfolk first and then repositioning to Baltimore, especially since they have to sail by Norfolk anyway.

Carnival will provide free transportation to folks who want to get back to Norfolk.
