Carnival Cruise Line Announces Next Round Of Restart Plans
Protocols for Vaccinations, Testing & Masks to Remain in Place Through End of
Year
MIAMI, Sept. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- With eight of its ships already in guest
operations, and more restarting in September and October, Carnival Cruise Line
today announced the next round of details about additional ship restarts for
November 2021 and beyond.
* Carnival Valor will follow Carnival Glory in New Orleans with four- and
five-night sailings starting on Nov. 1;
* Carnival Legend will restart Nov. 14 out of Baltimore, replacing Carnival
Pride, which restarts guest operations from Baltimore Sept. 12 and then
moves its homeport to Tampa following a Panama Canal repositioning cruise;
* Carnival Radiance will have a new maiden voyage date of Dec. 13 out of Long
Beach (rescheduled from Nov. 5 due to a revised dry dock transformation
plan);
* Carnival Pride's new service from Tampa is scheduled to start on Nov. 14;
* Carnival Conquest's restart from Miami on Oct. 8 has
been rescheduled to Dec. 13;
* Carnival Sensation's Oct. 21 restart from Mobile has been moved to Jan.
2022.
"We are very pleased with the progress of our restart which will grow to 15
ships sailing from seven U.S. homeports by mid-November," said Christine Duffy,
president of Carnival Cruise Line. "We are making slight adjustments to our
timeline to take into account supply chain realities and ensure that our
destination and shore excursion offerings can meet the strong demand we are
seeing from our guests. Our teams, ship and shore, are prepared to
continue delivering on our great guest experience and manage all health and
safety protocols."
Carnival is also advising guests booked in November and December that it will
continue to meet the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention's (CDC)
standard of vaccinated cruises and that guests will need to present proof of
both vaccination and a negative COVID-19 test at check-in (with a small number
of capacity-restricted exemptions granted for children under 12 and other
guests who cannot be vaccinated). Carnival is working to set up mobile
pre-cruise rapid testing sites at all of its homeports as a back-up alternative
for vaccinated guests who aren't able to make arrangements (details
forthcoming). In addition, guests will be asked to wear masks in most indoor
venues of the ship where people congregate. Full details are available at the
Have Fun. Be Safe. page on Carnival.com.
With the extension of Carnival Sensation's restart, five ships operating out of
U.S. homeports will be moved to 2022: Carnival Liberty (Port Canaveral),
Carnival Sunshine (Charleston), Carnival Paradise (Tampa); Carnival Ecstasy
(Jacksonville) and Carnival Sensation (Mobile).
Separate from its U.S. operations, Carnival has cancelled four additional
sailings for both Carnival Spirit and Carnival Splendor out of Australia.
Cruises on both ships are now cancelled up to and including Dec. 16, 2021.
