Carnival Cruise Line Provides Update on Possible Restart Plan from Select U.S.
Homeports, Notifies Guests of Cruise Cancellations

MIAMI, May 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Carnival Cruise Line today notified its
guests and travel advisor partners of cancellations for additional sailings as
it works toward plans for a possible July restart in the U.S. on select ships.

Carnival hopes to begin operating sailings on three ships from Florida and
Texas, including Carnival Vista and Carnival Breeze from Galveston, and
Carnival Horizon from Miami.  Further, if Carnival can find a solution to
allow cruise ships to visit Alaska, Carnival Miracle will assume some of
Carnival Freedom's departures from Seattle. Given that there is still some
uncertainty in our ability to operate these cruises, guests booked on those
sailings who wish to make alternate summer vacation plans may cancel without
penalty by May 31, 2021 and receive a full refund. 

The company is cancelling sailings on all other ships through July 30, 2021.
 Guests whose cruises are cancelled are eligible for a future cruise credit
(FCC) and onboard credit (OBC) or a full refund. 

"We continue to have constructive discussions with the CDC but still have many
questions that remain unanswered.  We are working diligently to resume
sailing in the U.S. and meet the CDC guidelines," said Christine Duffy,
president of Carnival Cruise Line.  "We sincerely appreciate the continued
patience and understanding of our guests and travel advisor partners and will
share additional information as quickly as we can."

Separately, late last week Carnival notified its guests that Carnival
Splendor's pause out of Sydney was extended another month, as it cancelled
sailings from Aug. 19 to Sept. 17, 2021.
