Carnival Cruise

Carnival Cruise Line is ending one of its cruises early to avoid the developing Nor'easter that's expected to slam the East Coast over the weekend. 

Passengers on the current sailing aboard Carnival Sunshine were informed on Wednesday that their sailing will be cut short by one day due to the worsening weather forecast. 

The Sunshine Class ship was supposed to call at Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos on Thursday, January 29. However, the final port visit of the 8-night Eastern Caribbean cruise was canceled at the last minute. 

Drinking is often considered synonymous with cruise vacations. However, as wellness culture continues to grow, many travelers have cut back on alcohol — and cruise lines have taken notice. 

Picking the right stateroom for your Carnival cruise matters quite a bit. With options ranging from small inside cabins to roomy suites, there are plenty of choices.

Throughout my cruising career, I've had my fair share of bad cruise cabins. For example, my Junior Suite on Carnival Vista was located so far forward that the motion was impossible to ignore. 

Carnival recently announced that its oldest ship, Carnival Sunshine, will head to Europe in 2027 to offer a series of itineraries to bucket-list destinations like Morocco, Turkey, Montenegro, Italy, and Tunisia. 

Carnival and Margaritaville at Sea are two of the cheapest cruise lines that offer guests everything from nonstop entertainment to multi-course meals and comfortable accommodations. Which one, however, is right for your next cruise?

Carnival Cruise Line is one of the most well-known cruise lines at sea. With nearly 30 ships operating worldwide, it's hard to ignore their iconic red, white, and blue funnels, which have become a symbol for fun-filled vacations on the water. 

From the upbeat environment of their "FUN" ships to exploring new ports of call, planning a Carnival cruise is exciting! However, nobody wants to go into debt over their annual vacation, so it's crucial to budget accordingly.  

Carnival is known for its laid-back atmosphere and wallet-friendly sailings. That said, the actual price of a weeklong cruise varies based on several factors, such as sail date, age of ship, and cabin category. 

A cruise passenger was wrongfully detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents when their Carnival ship returned to Miami, Florida. 

Jose Martinez, a U.S. Coast Guard Veteran and U.S. citizen residing in Phoenix, Arizona, was abruptly woken up around 6:45 a.m. on January 5, 2026, when ICE agents barged into his cabin. 

Martinez was sailing on the Carnival cruise ship with his wife, Tamara Verhas, and several others for a special birthday celebration.
