NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) -- The Carnival Sunshine will spend an extra night in port due to weather.

In an email sent out to travelers set to take the Carnival Sunshine's cruise from February 16 - 23, a cruise line said that the ship will no longer depart on Sunday.

"Strong winds and high waves will make it unsafe to depart as previously scheduled," the email said. "While we will be able to welcome you aboard tomorrow, Sunday, February 16, we must remain docked in Norfolk until weather conditions improve and it is safe to begin our voyage, Monday, February 17, 6:00 AM."

The delay will change the cruise itinerary some and the ship will not visit Princess Cays. Port times in Grand Turk and Amber Cove will be extended.

"While we are docked in Norfolk, all activities and events will continue as planned, but the casino and shops must remain closed," the email stated.
