Carnival Says Flu Won't Change Cruises To Mexico

Miami, FL – Carnival Cruise Lines says the swine flu outbreak has not affected its trips to Mexico from ports in the United States.

The company said in a statement Monday that it will not be making any adjustments to its itineraries and that no guests on Carnival's ships have been reported having swine flu symptoms.

Carnival, based in Miami, has cruises to Mexico from ports in Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas and California.

Customs officials at airports, seaports and border crossings are watching people entering U.S. territories for signs of the illness.
