The Carnival Vista cruise that departs from Galveston is taking a 17-day hiatus.

This ship has "an issue affecting its maximum cruising speed," according to Carnival Cruise Line, and the July 6, July 13 and July 20 cruises are canceled as it undergoes repairs.

Vacationers on the originally scheduled June 22 and June 29 cruises -- they were pushed back to June 23 and July 1 departures -- will get an extra day, as those seven-day cruises have been extended to eight days.
