CCL-Carnival is the first major USA cruise line to get entire fleet back to passenger operations
In February 2015, Carnival Corporation signed an MoU with China Merchants Group for 2 joint ventures. The MoU outlined an eventual partnership that could result in a new cruise brand (joint shipowner company), as well as joint development plans for Chinese seaports and destinations. In October 2018, the word "tender" (large boat used for ship-to-shore passenger transportation in ports without berthing facilities) was replaced with "water shuttle". Since Dec 1, 2018, violators of the company's shipboard smoking policy are disembarked at the next call port.

Both Costa liners are CCL-managed (while operating ex-USA itineraries) and scheduled for drydock refurbishments prior to the CCL service. From JAXPORT the ship operates short breaks to Bahamas - 4-day (Freeport + Bimini) and 5-day (Nassau + Princess Cays). In April 2017, at the Clia Cruise 360 conference in Fort Lauderdale Florida, Carnival Cruise Line's president Christine Duffy reaffirmed that the company wouldn't add onboard lifeguards to the Fun Ships soon.

They save the image files which (if needed) can be later re-analyzed. On February 16, 2021, CCL officially launched "Carnival Monopoly" available for online purchase for USD 40. The limited-edition board game is cruise-themed (Carnival ship properties, port taxes, Cruise Director announcements). In mid-April, CCL introduced "Carnival Edition Family Feud" (priced at US$25).
A 4th show ("Amor Cubano - A Caribbean Dance Romance") is also available on the Horizon ship. The available on all Fun ships Chef's Table is a dining experience that affords a dozen guests to experience multicourse dinner with the master chef, private cocktail reception and a tour of the galley. This dining option usually takes place in a non-traditional venue, like the library or the galley, and can be booked onboard for US$75 per person. The boat has 14 passenger-accessible decks of which 13 are with cabins.
Onboard Activities
Following the 2025 summer season in Europe, the ship repositions to Tampa Florida for 6- to 8-day Caribbean cruises. From California the ship operates 4-5-day Baja Mexico (Catalina Island CA, Ensenada) and 5-6-day Mexican Riviera (Cabo San Lucas, Ensenada) itineraries. From LA are also offered 14-day voyages to Hawaii (Honolulu, Kahului, Nawiliwili, Hilo, Ensenada Mexico). Mardi Gras' Caribbean program is based on homeporting in Port Canaveral/Orlando for roundtrips to ports in Eastern Caribbean (San Juan, Amber Cove, Grand Turk) and Western Caribbean (Mexico, Roatan Honduras, Dominicana). Carnival Jubilee is CCL's newest ship, starting operations in 2023 with the Caribbean Maiden Voyage currently scheduled for November 18, 2023.
Dubbed Carnival Kitchen, it's located near the ship's main restaurants and is a seriously tricked-out venue complete with nine state-of-the-art, marbled granite cooking stations for two and a dedicated dining area. Also, there are always several music venues where you'll find live performers in the afternoons and evenings, including — on some ships — the Atrium Bar and a secondary hub area called Ocean Plaza. There's almost always a piano bar that's home to lively singalongs. When it comes to raucous, though, nothing on Carnival ships quite compares to the frequent karaoke nights on board.
The ship has an open and flat stern and bow deck (275x70 m / 902x230 ft) allowing it to handle cargoes that are longer and wider. The deck is submerged by controlled filling vessel's ballast tanks with seawater. As drydocking facility, BOKA Vanguard allows under waterline inspections and hull/propulsion repairs to be conducted at sea.
Long Beach (Los Angeles)

As you explore the rest of the ship, the Family Harbor benefits come along, with your kids eating free in most onboard specialty restaurants... Plus one free evening of Night Owls babysitting service, so you can enjoy some much-deserved alone time. This is an Atrium-located LED sculpture created by kids hospitalized in St Jude Children’s Research Hospital (Memphis TN USA). The 3-deck high artwork was designed by the company Techno Media and consists of 33 different creations, The sculpture's centerpiece has over 2000 flexible LED (custom-made) tiles. The artwork is rotating, with patterns based on daytime, cruise port of call or special occasion.
Both Costa liners are CCL-managed (while operating out of the USA). ATM (cash) machines are available onboard all Carnival ships since 2009. The service is exclusively provided by Cardtronics and available to both passengers and crew. Each Carnival ship has all 4 ATMs - 2 located in high-traffic passenger areas and 2 are exclusively for the crew. In November, CCL partnered with Uplift (travel now and pay over time platform). Instead of paying in full upon booking, Uplift Pay Monthly allows CCL's customers to pay for their cruise over time - by making monthly payments for up to 2 years (24 months).
Laid-back cruisers looking to truly “get away from it all” head to the Eastern Caribbean for some serious R&R. This region is known for world-class shopping, food, and nightlife. It’s also great for low-stress sightseeing, scuba diving and of course, just chilling out. You have plenty of choices when you set out for the postcard paradise that is the Western Caribbean.
The 2022-built Carnival Celebration operates year-round roundtrips from Miami (preferential berthing at Carnival Terminal 3). On each of the Carnival ships, there are three full-time attendants (at the waterworks facility/ aqua park with slides), which are swimming pool safety, CPR and first aid trained. On Oct 6, 2022, was announced a new kids program via partnership with Cape Canaveral's Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. The new programming (Space Cruisers, hosted at Camp Ocean) is NASA-supported and debuted on Carnival Celebration in November. Space Cruisers' activities are grouped into the following programs - "Optimal Orbit" (2-8 yo) and "Design Your Own Mission Patch" and "Space Cruisers Rocket Workshop" (6-11 yo), as well as the family-friendly "Mars Base Connect" and "ASTRO!". Carnival's Space Cruisers program was implemented fleetwide by 2023-Q2.
Carnival has been rolling out faster Wi-Fi systems across its fleet in the last couple of years, such that you can now stream video on some ships. Pricing changes over time, but the fastest "premium" service on Carnival vessels was recently priced at $21.25 per day when bought in advance ($25 per day when bought onboard). Carnival has been spending a lot on fleetwide refurbishments and upgrades since 2007. The initiative "Evolutions of Fun" cost USD 350 million (8x Fantasy-class vessels) and included new open-deck spaces, kids- and family-themed facilities and activities, Carnival WaterWorks (aquapark with slides). SkyRide is an outdoor/aerial bicycle ride (suspended 2-track bike course) on the newest Vista-class Carnival ships. This is industry's first pedal-powered open-air bike ride in hanging bikes encircling around an 800-ft / 245-m long suspended track on the ship's top deck, allowing 360-degree panoramic views 150 ft / 46 m above sea level.
Typically Carnival Cruise Line will build or buy several ships sharing similar features. Among the wide variety of offers are over cruises of up to 5 days, providing passengers with many "mini-cruise" options, including new 4- and 5-day deployments for Carnival Valor( from Port Canaveral) and Carnival Victory-Radiance (from Miami). The unique Panama Canal cruises on Carnival Pride leave from Tampa. In September 2023 Carnival announced Legend ship's homeporting in San Francisco (California USA) planned for 2025. From San Francisco (joining Carnival Miracle), Legend is scheduled to offer 10-day roundtrips to Alaska and 4-day roundtrips to Baja Mexico.

On September 23, 2018, Carnival Vista arrived in its new homeport Galveston Texas, where joined the fleet mates Carnival Valor and Carnival Freedom for year-round departures from the port. Together, the three liners operate over 200 voyages and carrying over 600,000 passengers annually. Long-known for an abundance of entertainment, Carnival is not sitting on its laurels with Vista. The fun onboard starts with SkyRide, the industry's first open-air, pedal-powered aerial ride.
