Update On Cruise Ships' Assist Efforts In St. Vincent Volcano Eruption

Two Carnival Cruise Line ships were released from standby off St. Vincent Tuesday, even as Soufrière volcano continued erupting, while Royal Caribbean International’s Serenade of the Seas and Celebrity’s Reflection remained in the vicinity. "Government officials in St. Vincent have advised Carnival there is no immediate need for an [off-island] evacuation of local residents. In consultation with the government, Carnival will be moving Legend and Paradise from the area, but we stand ready to assist should the circumstances change," a Carnival spokesman said. Over the weekend, Serenade of the Seas carried 137 evacuees from St. Vincent to St. Lucia.
