The Disney Wonder and Carnival Sensation cruise ships were forced to divert to Fort Lauderdale this morning, as a stubborn Tropical Storm Fay continues to keep Port Canaveral closed.
Spokeswoman for both companies said they are providing transportation for guests to and from Lauderdale's Port Everglades. Both companies will also depart for the next cruises out of Lauderdale today, though they expect to have the ships back in Brevard County this weekend.
A spokeswoman for Port Canaveral said Coast Guard officials are currently surveying the port channel to make sure navigational aides are still in place and to determine when Canaveral can reopen.
