Carnival Cruise Line continues to implement its ship deployment changes announced earlier in February, with a ship and homeport assignments extended into 2023 and 2024, including:

Carnival Elation – Jacksonville

Carnival Elation, previously announced as moving to Jacksonville, Fla., will continue service of 4- and 5-day sailings formerly assigned to Carnival Ecstasy. Itineraries for additional cruise vacations from Jacksonville will soon be open into 2024.

Carnival Freedom – Port Canaveral

Carnival Freedom, previously announced as redeploying to Port Canaveral, Fla. in April 2022 to replace Carnival Elation, will continue to operate 4- and 5-day itineraries from Port Canaveral, and itineraries will soon be open through Apr. 29, 2023.

Carnival Spirit – Miami and Seattle

After completing its recently announced summer 2022 season in Alaska, Carnival Spirit will continue to operate 6- and 8-day cruises previously assigned to Carnival Freedom from Miami through Apr. 8, 2023.

Following the completion of its Caribbean itineraries from Miami, Carnival Spirit will sail a Panama Canal Journeys cruise on Apr. 16, 2023, arriving in Seattle, and will then operate a series of Alaska cruises from May 2, 2023, through Sep. 12, 2023, with those itineraries to be open for sale soon.

While Carnival completes the swap of existing reservations to the new ship assignments and provides equivalent accommodations, the itineraries will remain closed for sale, and reservations will not be accessible for up to three weeks. Once the process has been completed, an email confirmation will be sent to guests, or to travel advisors, and the new reservation will be available for viewing on Carnival.com. The new ship assignments and itineraries will also be open for sale at that time.

“We are very happy with the positive reception this redeployment plan has already generated from our guests and travel advisor partners,” said o president of Carnival Cruise Line. “In combination with our successful restart, new ship assignments are creating excitement as we build momentum for a successful 2022 and beyond.”

Carnival Offers Special Cruise Vacation Rates for Military Service Members

On another head Carnival Cruise Line, the cruise company carrying the most active and retired service members is offering special rates to members of the military beginning Thursday, March 3 through March 9, 2022.

The special pricing includes up to 40 percent off cruise vacations, up to $100 of onboard credit, reduced deposits from $50 per person, and a bonus offer allowing kids to sail for $1 with a guaranteed interior stateroom booking. Active and retired U.S. Military and Canadian National Defense members should select “Military Rate” while booking and then follow the provided instructions for submitting eligibility documentation to qualify. The military guest may also book up to two additional cabins on the same cruise under the special rate.

Carnival is proud to recognize military service, holding a Military Appreciation Gathering on every cruise and honoring veterans in unique ways throughout the year, in addition to building special military tribute lounges on Carnival Panorama, Carnival Radiance, and Mardi Gras. Carnival is also a proud partner of Operation Homefront, a national non-profit organization whose mission is to build strong, stable, and secure military families so that they can thrive in the communities they have worked hard to protect.
