Carnival Cruise
Line Notifies Guests Of Cruise Cancellations
MIAMI, April 6, 2021 -- Carnival Cruise Line is
notifying guests of additional cruise cancellations and the
extension of its pause in all operations from U.S. ports through
June 30, 2021.
Booked guests and travel advisors are being notified directly of
the cancellations and the options for a future cruise credit plus
onboard credit package, or a full refund. To provide
flexibility for guests booked on July itineraries that remain in
the schedule, Carnival is extending final payment deadlines for all
July sailings to May 31, 2021, with
the ability to cancel without penalty.
"We know that this is very disappointing to our guests who
continue to be eager to sail, and we remain committed to working
with the Administration and the CDC to find a workable solution
that best serves the interest of public health. We are asking that
the cruise industry be treated on par with the approach being taken
with other travel and tourism sectors, as well as U.S. society at
large," said Christine Duffy,
president of Carnival Cruise Line. "While we have not made plans to
move Carnival Cruise Line ships outside of our U.S. homeports, we
may have no choice but to do so in order to resume our operations
which have been on 'pause' for over a year. We appreciate the
continued patience and support from our loyal guests, travel
advisors and business partners as we work on a return-to-service
solution."
