OceanAngel Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Passenger debarkation from a Carnival ship in Galveston was delayed Thursday following the discovery of a suspicious package, according to Carnival Cruise Lines. The company said the Ecstasy, had returned to Galveston at the end of five-day Caribbean cruise. "The debarkation process was temporarily halted and the cruise terminal evacuated while the package was further investigated by law enforcement authorities," Carnival said in a statement. "It turned out to be a false alarm and debarkation resumed mid-morning." Carnival said Ecstasy, which is based at Galveston year-round, is scheduled to sail late Thursday on another voyage. http://charlotte.bizjournals.com/houston/s...21/daily46.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
