SHIPBUILDER NOTIFIES CARNIVAL CRUISE LINE THAT CARNIVAL JUBILEE DELIVERY WILL
BE DELAYED

First Cruise Will Now Be from Galveston on Dec. 23, 2023

MIAMI, Dec. 9, 2022 -- Carnival Cruise Line today notified guests booked on
the first six cruises of Carnival Jubilee that because of shipyard delays,
delivery of the ship has been postponed and the first cruise will now be the
Dec. 23, 2023 embarkation from Galveston, Tex.

Carnival Jubilee is under construction at Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany.
Meyer has notified Carnival that due to supply chain logistics and related
matters, the October 2023 delivery date has been re-set for early December
2023. Carnival Jubilee will then transit directly to Galveston to operate the
first guest cruise for the Christmas holiday, departing on Dec. 23, 2023.

Guests and travel advisors have been notified of the change. In total, the
original Oct. 30, 2023 transatlantic journey from Southampton, UK to
Galveston, and then five Caribbean sailings from Galveston have been
cancelled.

"This is disappointing news, but with the notification from the shipyard, we
are advising our guests as quickly as we can," said Christine Duffy, president
of Carnival Cruise Line. "We appreciate their understanding as we work to
deliver another spectacular ship that will provide a vacation experience our
guests deserve and will absolutely love."
