The Carnival Conquest, on an eight-day cruise from Fort Lauderdale, is at sea today instead of calling in Grand Turk. It plans to return on schedule to Fort Lauderdale on Oct. 4.

The National Hurricane Centre said Tropical Storm Grace, that came to life in the eastern Atlantic Ocean on Saturday, may fall apart before it can threaten people on land.

Travel to the Island is hampered by damage to the Douglas-Charles Airport which remains closed. Repairs are said to be underway but the reopening is unscheduled.

In a report from Gina Kramer of CruiseCritic.com, Carnival Cruise Lines was forced to adjust its itinerary for the Carnival Conquest cruise ship due to the approaching storm.

Tropical Storm Danny weakened Sunday and was poised to bring winds and rainfall to parts of the Caribbean.

Danny is following a very typical track for a storm located in that part of the Atlantic Basin. It is heading west-northwestward, and should for the next four to five days.
