In a release, the company say it has moved the start date for Mardi Gras cruise line from Port Canaveral in Florida, with the first cruise now set for May 29, 2021.
“Our guests and travel agent partners continue to express their loyalty to Carnival and their desire to get back on our ships as soon as they can, and we are heartened by the booking demand and activity we continue to see. We are certainly committed to welcoming them back as quickly as possible, but unfortunately we have determined it’s going to take a while longer, and the situation in Europe will also impact Mardi Gras’ departure to the U.S., and Carnival Legend’s itineraries in Europe,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.
Cancellations of Australian operations will be through May 19, 2021.
Carnival Cruise Line says that in addition, they canceled European itineraries for Carnival Legend which were to begin this May through Oct. 31, 2021.
