Carnival Cruise

Carnival Cruise Line is one of the leading cruise giants in America. 

Their fleet of 29 fun ships sails to popular destinations across the Bahamas, Caribbean, Alaska, Europe, and more. However, Carnival is just one piece of a much larger puzzle.

Carnival Cruise Line is owned by Carnival Corporation & plc, the world's largest cruise operator with a combined fleet of over 90 ships across 8 brands. They're followed by Royal Caribbean Group. 

Carnival Cruise Line recently revealed the first installment of its 2027-2028 cruise schedule, and one of the most surprising announcements was the return of Carnival Dream to New Orleans, Louisiana. 

Carnival Dream, a Dream Class ship with a passenger capacity of more than 4,600, will return to the Big Easy in 2027, ending her 8-year absence. 

Carnival cruise fans were initally excited to hear that the popular cruise line was going to overhaul its outdated loyalty program. However, excitement quickly turned into frustration and disappointment after they announced the revamped program would be a point-based system. 

Carnival cruise fans are fuming over a major change to the dining experience at the line's brand-new private destination in the Bahamas. 

Carnival offers unlimited dining onboard, so guests can order as many poolside tacos and burgers as they want. Naturally, passengers would expect the same freedom and variety at Carnival-branded destinations, including Celebration Key. 

However, instead of the traditional all-you-can-eat beachside buffet, Carnival has allotted everyone just one complimentary meal that can be redeemed at one of 14 quick-service locations.

Are you looking forward to your upcoming Carnival cruise to Celebration Key, but are unsure what's available to eat ashore? 

Although Carnival's ships are known for fast-casual spots like Guy's Burger Joint and BlueIguana Cantina, Celebration Key offers a mix of local flavors and classic favorites to appeal to all tastes. 

A passenger sailing aboard a Carnival cruise ship was startled when a low-flying Navy military plane zoomed past the vessel while at sea. 

In a 1.5-minute TikTok captured by Nathan Miller, a P-8 Poseidon aircraft is seen flying low over the water. Miller expresses his concern while narrating the entire video. 

"Y'all, this is making me really nervous. I don't know what's about to happen," he says, "I hope [the plane] is just turning." 

The excitement is building over Carnival's new private destination opening later this month. However, some are outraged by the extra fees for amenities ashore. 

Located on the south side of Grand Bahama Island, Celebration Key promises a full day of beachside fun and Bahamian-inspired experiences. 

From 275,000 square feet of swimming space in the sprawling Calypso and Starfish Lagoons to splash pads, local artisans, and exclusive beach clubs, the destination was designed to offer something for everyone.

This year's exciting summer cruise season is in full swing. Ahead of the highly anticipated launch of Royal Caribbean's newest mega-ship, Star of the Seas, is the opening of Carnival Cruise Line's private destination in the Bahamas.

Trainwreck: Poop Cruise on Netflix recounts the infamous disaster aboard Carnival Triumph in 2013. What was supposed to be a short 4-night sailing from Galveston, Texas, to Cozumel, Mexico, turned into a nightmare after guests were awoken one morning by an emergency alert for the "alpha team." 

An engine fire that fried the ship's electrical cables left it adrift in the Gulf of Mexico with limited power, no plumbing, and food shortages.
