I went on my first Carnival Cruise earlier this year and I absolutely loved it!
Carnival announced today that they will resume service on August 1st, according to CBS News. A total of eight Carnival ships will operate from three U.S. cities, Carnival said. The eight ships are:
- Galveston, Texas: Carnival Dream, Carnival Freedom, Carnival Vista
- Miami:Carnival Horizon, Carnival Magic, Carnival Sensation
- Port Canaveral, Florida: Carnival Breeze, Carnival Elation.
The eight ships are scheduled to make stops in the Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Jamaica and Mexico, among other places. All of Carnival's other North American and Australian cruises are canceled through August 31. In a press release, Carnival said, "We are committed to supporting all public health efforts to manage the COVID-19 situation. We are taking a measured approach, focusing our return to service on a select number of homeports where we have more significant operations that are easily accessible by car for the majority of our guests."
Carnival also has said they’re even going to offer prices as little as $28 a day to get customers back!
