The Carnival Legend is expected to be alongside the Port of Tampa at approximately 4 p.m. eastern time today, several hours behind schedule.

The Operations at Port of Tampa also says the Royal Caribbean Jewel of Seas ship is a few hours delayed. The ship tried to get in early to avoid the fog but that didn't work. The cruise ship should start coming in around 8 a.m. this morning, which is an hour delay. It usually gets in at 7a.m. The Jewel of the Seas is headed out of Tampa again at 4:30 this afternoon.
