Carnival Cruise

After removing a popular appetizer from its Main Dining Room menus in 2023, Carnival Cruise Line confirmed the return of escargot. 

Whether you're an adventurous eater or want to step outside your comfort zone at least once, cruising lets you explore different cuisines without the fear of commitment. If you order a dish you don't like, you can simply order something else for no extra charge. 

The departure of Carnival Liberty's 14-night Panama Canal cruise was delayed by one day after the 110,00 gross registered ton ship was diverted because of a medical emergency and then developing propulsion issues. 

After calling at Key West, Florida, during her 7-night Eastern Caribbean cruise, Carnival Liberty had to divert course to Florida three days later on Nov. 29 to allow an ailing guest to receive medical treatment from a local hospital.

Carnival Cruise Line has recently tightened its policies, including implementing a new rule regarding controversial door decorations.

While decorating your stateroom door has become an increasingly popular cruise activity, one secret sign for swingers has now been banned from Carnival’s cruise ships. Confirmed by brand ambassador John Heald, the cruise line will no longer allow upside-down pineapples to be displayed on stateroom doors.

You can't get everything you ask for on a cruise. Just like how ships rotate between theater performances each evening, choices have to be made regarding dining venues. 

While you'll never go hungry on a Carnival cruise, the crew can't keep each restaurant open 24/7. Instead, the HUB app will tell you the hours popular spots, including Guy's Burger Joint and BlueIguana Cantina, are open. 

When it comes to mainstream cruise lines in North America, most people would immediately think of Carnival Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian Cruise Line.

Carnival Cruise Line has added a new cruise essential to its prohibited items list: Bluetooth speakers. The surprising move has left many customers fuming over the change, while some are praising the cruise line for the move.

Carnival’s website was recently updated to include specific verbiage prohibiting guests from bringing speaks onboard their ships, citing safety concerns. 

Florida is a major cruise hub, with popular embarkation ports in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Port Canaveral, Tampa, and Jacksonville. Cruises also depart from other ports along the East Coast, from Baltimore to New York and Boston; however, one port is ceasing operations at the end of the year. 

Carnival Cruise Line has released new passport rules for guests sailing to Panama. 

Did you know you don't necessarily need a passport to go on a cruise? While some itineraries, like one-way sailings from one U.S. port to another and international voyages, require a valid passport, some cruises permit a government-issued photo ID and a certified birth certificate copy as acceptable travel documentation. 

First-time cruisers have a unique perspective, often noticing certain aspects of the onboard experience that seasoned cruisers have grown accustomed to. Moreover, experiencing everything for the first time is also exciting, opening a new world of possibilities for those keen on cruising.
