MIAMI, Oct. 6, 2021 -- Carnival Cruise Line announced plans for more ship

With 17 ships scheduled to be operating by year-end, Carnival Sunshine will
restart from Charleston on Jan. 13 and Carnival Liberty from Port Canaveral on
Feb. 11.

With today's announcement, Carnival's U.S.-based operations will cover the

Carnival's U.S.-based capacity: 
*
Galveston: Carnival Breeze, Carnival Dream and Carnival Vista

"Our restart plan continues to excel across all metrics, and we are looking

Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.  "We appreciate the
support and patience of our guests, travel agents and port and destination
partners who have been key to this successful restart."

Duffy said that Carnival continues to carefully monitor the status of public
health and adjust its operating protocols accordingly.  "We are optimistic
that vaccines will be approved for children between the ages of 5-11 before
the end of the year and we look forward to welcoming more families back on
board," she added.  As it relates to ships operating in January and February,
Carnival will continue to operate vaccinated cruises under its current
protocols. 

Cruises on Carnival's three remaining U.S.-based ships – Carnival Ecstasy
from Jacksonville, Carnival Paradise from Tampa, and Carnival Sensation from
Mobile – have been cancelled through February.

In addition, Carnival Splendor from Sydney, Australia is cancelled through
Feb. 7, and Carnival Spirit from Brisbane, Australia is cancelled through Feb.
