Tropical Storm Ernesto’s path through the Atlantic has disrupted two Carnival cruise ships planning to sail in the storm’s track.
Ernesto became a tropical storm on Monday after moving quickly through the Caribbean, and meteorologists expect it to evolve into a hurricane later this week, given the storm is continuing to gain strength. Ernesto is the fifth named storm of the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season. As of Tuesday afternoon, the storm’s maximum sustained winds were measured at 60 miles per hour.
Ernesto’s path has caused Carnival to modify two of its cruise ships’ paths to avoid encountering the storm. Plans for Carnival Pride and Carnival Magic were both altered to account for the storm.
