Carnival Cruise

Count Carnival in for Alaska cruises this year.

Carnival Corporation announced three of its brands will sail to Alaska in 2021: Holland America, Princess Cruises and Carnival Cruise Line.

The sailings will go out of Seattle.

While Carnival announced a new round of cruise cancellations, all hope is not lost for summer sailings.

Carnival Cruise Line posted a new update on its restart plans, which involve three ships sailing from the United States in July, while other sailings are cancelled.

Carnival announced its ships will get a look to their hulls that match the new look.

The Carnival Mardi Gras is the newest cruise ship in Carnival's fleet, and it has a hull design that will be copied across to other ships.

The cruise line confirmed the Mardi Gras' hull design will become a trademark feature across the fleet.

If you're looking to make the most out of your cruise vacations, it pays to be loyal to a single line. Over time, you will unlock some benefits meant to make your vacation more convenient and possibly save you some money!

While each cruise line has their own loyalty program that they are all built differently. On Royal Caribbean, for instance, you are able to earn two points per night of the cruise if you're sailing in a suite. No matter what cabin you book onboard any of Carnival Cruise Line's ships, you will only receive one point per night.

It has been more than a year since cruise lines voluntarily halted sailings, and cruisers are wondering when Carnival ships will resume voyages.

Since late 2020, when the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's sailing ban expired, there have been several new developments -- conditional sailing framework requirements, vaccination roll-outs and an extension of Canada's no-sail order.

Carnival Cruise Line has joined others in cancelling their May cruises.

The cruise line announced on Wednesday it has decided to cancel all of its U.S. departures through May 31, 2021.

In a statement, the cruise line said a "date for the return of guest cruising operations from U.S. ports has not yet been determined."

With the new round of cancellations, Carnival cruise ships won’t begin sailings until June at the earliest.

Carnival removed its new health protocols from its website a day after posting them.

The new rules were inexplicably removed from the website and replaced with a general statement from the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC).

Carnival posted on Friday comprehensive new rules that included wearing masks, social distancing, and limited shore excursion options.

When Carnival restarts cruises, guests will be required to weak masks, socially distance, and limit shore excursion options.

Carnival announced its new health protocols aimed at keeping guests and crew members safe onboard.

The new protocols are a listing of the rules and things guests can expect to encounter on a cruise ship when they restart.

While not a new set of fleetwide cancellations, Carnival is tapping the brakes some more on its ships returning to service.

Carnival Cruise Line announced on Monday new plans for additional ship deployments related to its phased approach to cruises restarting in 2021.

The cruise line outlined a series of ship-specific cruise cancellations and movements including:
