Five ships operating from US homeports are now not scheduled to sail until 2022, including Carnival Liberty (Port Canaveral), Carnival Sunshine (Charleston), Carnival Paradise (Tampa); Carnival Ecstasy (Jacksonville) and Carnival Sensation (Mobile).

In addition, Carnival Radiance will have a new maiden voyage date of 13 December from Long Beach, rescheduled from 5 November due to revised dry dock maintenance.

Carnival Pride’s new service from Tampa is now scheduled to start on 14 November, while Carnival Conquest’s restart from Miami on 8 October has been rescheduled to 13 December. Carnival Sensation’s 21 October restart from Mobile has been moved to January 2022.

Carnival currently has eight ships in operation.

"We are very pleased with the progress of our restart which will grow to 15 ships sailing from seven US homeports by mid-November," said Christine Duffy, Carnival Cruise Line president.

"We are making slight adjustments to our timeline to take into account supply chain realities and ensure that our destination and shore excursion offerings can meet the strong demand we are seeing from our guests. Our teams, ship and shore, are prepared to continue delivering on our great guest experience and manage all health and safety protocols."

Carnival has also cancelled four additional sailings for both Carnival Spirit and Carnival Splendor from Australia.  

Cruises on both ships are now cancelled up to and including 16 December 2021.
