Carnival Cruise Line Updates Guests On Itinerary Cancellations

MIAMI, Dec. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Carnival Cruise Line is informing guests
and travel agents that it has cancelled select itineraries for specific
operations in 2021, as it implements its plans for the resumption of cruising
in 2021, including cruise operations in February from Miami, Port Canaveral
and Galveston and moving the inaugural sailing of Mardi Gras until April 24,
2021.

Mardi Gras will operate from Port Canaveral, and remains the most anticipated
new ship to operate from North America in 2021.  It will be the first
liquefied natural gas (LNG) powered ship in the Americas, and feature BOLT,
the first roller coaster at sea.  Carnival will take delivery of the ship
from the Meyer Turku shipyard in Finland later this month and eventually sail
to the U.S. and meet the requirements of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control
& Prevention (CDC). 

Carnival is also cancelling the remaining itineraries scheduled to operate
from Miami, Port Canaveral and Galveston through Feb. 28.

"We apologize to our guests but we must continue to take a thoughtful,
deliberate and measured approach as we map out our return to operations in
2021," said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.  "Our
commitment to the health and safety of our guests, crew and the communities we
visit is at the forefront of our decisions and operations."
