October 31, the AMSAT Symposium committee was informed by Carnival that our Symposium ship, the Carnival Liberty, was experiencing a technical difficulty resulting in an itinerary change. The technical difficulty affects the maximum cruising speed of the Carnival Liberty.
The full text of Carnival’s notification has been posted on the AMSAT 2016 Space Symposium web page at: http://www.amsat.org/?page_id=3667
Summary of changes and impact to attendees:
Our destination is now Progreso rather than Cozumel.
Scheduled departure is now 22:00 local time on Thursday, November 10.
Scheduled arrival is now 10:00 local time on Monday, November 14.
All guests who have purchased shore excursions for Cozumel through
Carnival will receive refunds for their scheduled excursions.
- All guests will receive a $50 on-board credit and 25% discount on a
future sailing with Carnival.
This itinerary change should have minimal impact on the events of the Symposium. It may affect your travel times to and from the airport. Please check your flight departure times and contact Carnival if there is any conflict regarding this modified itinerary.
We have no further information from Carnival at this time.This and further communication will be emailed to all registered Symposium attendees in the next 24 hours. If you have not yet registered with AMSAT for the Symposium, please do so by contacting the AMSAT office or via the AMSAT Store at: http://store.amsat.org.
Please reply directly to me (off-BB) with any questions.
