Carnival says the ship will arrive at Jacksonville today around 10 a.m., roughly three hours behind schedule. The line says the delay would have been shorter if not for tidal conditions.
The line says it is offering passengers on the current voyage a 20% discount on a future two- to five-day Carnival cruise as compensation for the hours Wednesday on board without power and the delay.
"Carnival sincerely apologizes to our guests for this disruption to their vacation plans," the line says.
Embarkation for the ship's next voyage, a four-day cruise to the Bahamas, will be delayed until 1:30 p.m. today, the line says. The voyage is expected to depart on time at approximately 4 p.m., the line says.
Built in 1994, Carnival Fascination is the fourth oldest of Carnival's 22 ships. It sails year-round from Jacksonville on four- and five-day cruises to the Bahamas and Key West, Fla.
