Gil Jamieson Cruise Quotations

Cruise ships provided over two million meals, plus housing for over 8,000 hurricane victims, first responders, and representatives from eighteen federal and state agencies. Carnival Cruise Lines, Captain Angelo Los, and the staff of both the Ecstasy and the Sensation have been tremendous partners with FEMA throughout this recovery process.

The departure of the ships marks another step forward in the region's recovery. In the fall, the cruise ships will return with tourists who will help boost the local economy and help the great city of New Orleans continue to rebuild.
