“Our restart plan continues to excel across all metrics, and we are looking forward to completing the restart of the fleet in the new year. We appreciate the support and patience of our guests, travel agents and port and destination partners who have been key to this successful restart,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.
Duffy said that Carnival continues to carefully monitor the status of public health and adjust its operating protocols accordingly.
“We are optimistic that vaccines will be approved for children between the ages of 5-11 before the end of the year and we look forward to welcoming more families back on board.”
Cruises on Carnival’s three remaining U.S.-based ships – Carnival Ecstasy from Jacksonville, Carnival Paradise from Tampa, and Carnival Sensation from Mobile – have been cancelled through February.
In addition, Carnival Splendor from Sydney, Australia is cancelled through February 7, and Carnival Spirit from Brisbane, Australia is cancelled through February 20.
The Cruise Line is working towards the return of its full fleet sailing from U.S. homeports in the spring of 2022.
