Cruise ship docks in Mobile
The Carnival Fantasy cruise ship arrived at the Alabama Cruise Terminal in Mobile on March 16 carrying more than 1,600 passengers who spent four days on a vacation. The cruise ship is anchored downtown until at least April 10, when Miami-based Carnival Cruise Line claims it will resume cruises. Two other cruise ships are moored in Gulfport, Miss., and the company’s fleet of ships are idling at terminals in Texas, Louisiana, Florida, and South Carolina. Mobile Mayor Sandy Stimpson says there is the potential for another cruise ship to dock within the Port of Mobile.
