<p>The storm could become a <strong>Category 3 </strong>hurricane by the time it makes landfall, and it is forecast to bring dangerous flooding to southern and eastern Texas and southwestern <strong>Louisiana</strong> from Friday into early next week, with up to two feet of rain possible at the local level.</p>



<h2>Cruise Updates</h2>

<p><strong>Carnival Cruise Line</strong> guests scheduled to depart on cruises from Galveston this weekend are asked to sign up for text alerts by texting the codes below to <strong>CRUISE (278473)</strong>, a cruise line representative tells Travel Agent:</p>



<ul><li><em><strong>Carnival Freedom</strong></em> 08/26/17 - CCL1   </li>
	<li><em><strong>Carnival Valor</strong></em> 08/26/17 - CCL2      </li>
	<li><em><strong>Carnival Breeze</strong></em> 08/27/17 - CCL3   </li>
</ul><p><span style="font-family:&quot;ＭＳ 明朝&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">“</span>We are closely monitoring Hurricane Harvey and are continuing to evaluate the projected path and potential impact on our operations in Galveston this weekend,<span style="font-family:&quot;ＭＳ 明朝&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">”</span> Carnival said. <span style="font-family:&quot;ＭＳ 明朝&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">“</span>At this time we have not announced any changes to our scheduled itineraries. We will provide further updates as they become available.<span style="font-family:&quot;ＭＳ 明朝&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;">”</span> </p>



<p><em><strong>"Liberty of the Seas</strong></em> is keeping a safe distance behind the storm as she makes her way back to Galveston," a <strong>Royal Caribbean </strong>representative tells Travel Agent. "We are actively monitoring path and progression of Hurricane Harvey and will make sure to inform our guests of any itinerary changes."</p>



<p>The move follows a number of <a href="https://www.travelagentcentral.com/cruise-lines-adjust-schedules-to-steer-away-from-tropical-storm-harvey">cruise itinerary adjustments due to Harvey issued earlier this week</a>.</p>
