Because of a Mississippi River oil spill near New Orleans, the Carnival Fantasy ended a voyage in Mobile rather than its regular New Orleans homeport in July 2008, according to an archived WKRG report.
Carnival arranged free motorcoach transportation for passengers who needed to travel between Mobile and New Orleans. The ship’s next voyage was also scheduled to leave from Mobile and end in New Orleans.
This article records a temporary 2008 cruise diversion and is not a current travel notice or Port of Mobile schedule.
