Tropical Weather Update

July 8, 2005 – 1:00 PM

We are closely monitoring the progress of Hurricane Dennis. At Carnival, the safety and comfort of our guests and crew is our number one priority. All of our ships currently operating in the Western Caribbean will maintain a safe distance from the storm at all times. We have made some changes to the itineraries for the current cruises on the Sensation, Imagination, Carnival Conquest, Carnival Victory and Carnival Miracle.

We have also been evaluating the impact of the storm on our departures this weekend from Miami, Port Canaveral, Tampa, Mobile and New Orleans. The following information is provided for general guidance, however it is based on the current forecasted path and speed of the storm. It is important to understand that this information could change based on any adjustments to the forecast for this storm.

Miami and Port Canaveral: We do not anticipate any changes to departures from these ports.

Tampa:

Inspiration (7/9/05): The ship is expected to debark guests from the 7/4/05 cruise on a normal schedule. Guests sailing on the 7/9/05 cruise will also embark on the normal schedule. The ship is then expected to remain in Tampa until local weather conditions allow for a safe departure. Some changes to the scheduled itinerary may be required depending on the actual departure time.

Carnival Miracle (7/10/05): Arrival into Tampa from the 7/3/05 cruise may be delayed until 4:00 PM or after. Embarkation for guests sailing on the 7/10/05 cruise may also be delayed. We will provide additional information on any changes by 2:00 PM on Saturday.

Mobile:

Holiday (7/9/05): The ship is expected to debark guests from the 7/4/05 cruise on a normal schedule. We now request guests sailing on the 7/9/05 cruise to arrive in Mobile between 9:00 AM and 12 Noon. The ship may be required to depart as early as 1:00 PM.

New Orleans:

Carnival Conquest (7/10/05): We are anticipating that there will changes required to the arrival from the 7/3/05 cruise and the departure of the 7/10/05 cruise. These changes will be dependent on the decision by local authorities to close the entrance to the Mississippi River. We will provide additional information on any changes by 2:00 PM on Saturday.

Carnival is committed to providing our guests with a safe and enjoyable cruise experience.
