The Carnival ship will be one of the first to call at Cabo San Lucas following Hurricane Odile and will be loaded with relief supplies provided by the cruise line. During the ship’s visit to Cabo San Lucas on October 6th, the crew will off-load pallets of bottled water, canned food, cereal, diapers, paper products, personal items, and other supplies needed by local residents.
“We have been in close contact with officials in Cabo San Lucas and have sent our own teams there to evaluate the recovery process,” said Gerry Cahill, president and CEO of Carnival Cruise Lines. “The residents, along with local, state and federal authorities, have worked extremely hard to ready the destination to receive visitors and revitalize the economic contribution that tourism brings to the area. At the same time, local residents are still in need of relief supplies and it is extremely gratifying to be resuming our Mexican Riviera cruise program while doing some good for the local community,” Cahill added.
Carlos Joaquin Gonzalez, federal under minister of tourism for Mexico, stated, “Our tourism destinations are ready to receive visitors. Tourism is an important part of the local economy and we are grateful for everyone’s contribution to the recovery of Los Cabos. The destination is ready for cruise passengers and the majority of restaurants, shops, and tours are ready to be enjoyed.”
Carnival Miracle’s new year-round Mexican Riviera program will encompass three different week-long itineraries, including a new three-port, 7-day cruise featuring Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, and Cabo San Lucas. Carnival Miracle’s schedule from Long Beach also includes two other itinerary options. The first is a 7-day, two-port itinerary that features a stop in Cabo San Lucas, along with a two-day overnight stay in Puerto Vallarta. The second alternate itinerary includes a visit to Puerto Vallarta, along with a two-day call at Cabo San Lucas.
