Hurrican Joaquin forces Carnival Pride and Valor, Norwegian Getaway to Skip Bahamas

Three ships have altered their itineraries to avoid Hurricane Joaquin.

Carnival Pride

will skip Half Moon Cay and instead spend the day at sea.

Carnival Valor

will spend the day at sea instead of calling at Grand Turk.

Norwegian Getaway

will skip Nassau also in favor of a sea day.

Hurricane Joaquin is expected to linger northeast of the Bahamas through Friday before moving north toward New Jersey at present.
