The number of Carnival Cruise Line itinerary revisions on 2025 and 2026 voyages continues to grow, with a newly announced spate of changes impacting 21 cruises on eight ships.
In notices to booked guests on December 5, 2024, the cruise line detailed a series of route changes, port replacements, and altered time in ports on the nearly two dozen voyages.
Most of the affected cruises are a year or more away, giving cruisers time to make changes if they wish, but some are just months away.
In all cases, any affected shore excursions pre-purchased through the cruise line will be automatically refunded or adjusted, as needed, and land tours for any new ports will be offered for booking before embarkation day.
