Carnival Cruise Line now has 11 ships, representing half of its US fleet sailing again, with the Carnival Dream and Carnival Glory already back in action on September. 19 2021.
Beginning back on July 3 2021 with the Carnival Vista, Carnival Crusie Line is operating from seven U.S. homeports including Miami, Galveston, Seattle, Port Canaveral, Long Beach, Baltimore and New Orleans, but as Aussies will be aware, not in Australia until it appears well into 2022!
Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line said, “Having half of our US fleet back in operations provides positive economic impact in our homeports and port of call destinations, along with giving our guests their much-needed vacations and helping our crew support their families back home,” adding, “We couldn’t have accomplished this without the support of our travel advisor partners, business partners and port and destinations partners.”
The Carnival Dream became the third Carnival ship to operate year-round from Galveston when she departed this weekend on a six-day Caribbean cruise, while the Carnival Glory [pictured] is the first ship to set sail from the Port of New Orleans, operating a seven-day voyage to The Bahamas.
Carnival said additional vessels will resume service throughout the fall and into early 2022 as the line’s successful restart of operations continues.
