Carnival Cruise

Carnival's main dining room is a staple across its fleet. While favorites like strip steak and the famous melting cake are always crowd-pleasers, some lesser-known menu items deserve a spot on your must-try list. 

The dining room has a rotating nightly menu, meaning that you'll have plenty of chances to discover new dishes — if you know where to look. Sometimes, an appetizer, entrée, or dessert that seems underrated might end up being one of the best things that you eat on board! 

Carnival Cruise Line just extended a popular deal that could save you money on pricey add-ons. 

If you have an upcoming cruise booked, you may be wondering how to save money on Carnival's pricey CHEERS! Drink Package or Premium Wi-Fi Plan. 

If you are sailing on a Carnival cruise soon, whether it is to the Bahamas, Caribbean, Alaska, or elsewhere, you might be debating purchasing a drink package.

Carnival's drink package offers guests the option to enjoy up to 15 alcoholic beverages per day, as well as unlimited sodas and other non-alcoholic beverages, on their cruise for a fixed daily rate, rather than worrying about paying for each drink individually. 

Thousands of cruisers planning to sail this fall aboard one of Carnival’s newest ships received an unexpected cancellation email from the cruise line. 

Guests booked on 11 voyages on Carnival Firenze departing Long Beach, California, between October and November 2026 were impacted.

"We have made some changes to the itinerary plans for Carnival Firenze and, unfortunately, your cruise has been cancelled," reads the email shared on Facebook by Ken Martin. 

Carnival axed popular top-tier benefits on an upcoming cruise, proving why the cruise line decided to overhaul its loyalty program this year. 

Passengers sailing on the March 14, 2026, voyage aboard the Carnival Miracle were informed that some of the line's most valuable loyalty perks won't be available due to the number of VIFP Club guests on the sailing. 

Carnival's stock fell amid growing fears of an oil crisis in the Middle East as a result of the ongoing violence in Iran and the surrounding countries. 

On Friday morning, the cost of West Texas Intermediate oil, the U.S. oil benchmark, reached $86.57 per barrel. Prices for Brent crude, the international benchmark, shot up to nearly $90, or $84.99 per barrel, as reported by CBS News. Both were trading close to their highest levels since April 2024.
