This Major U.S. Cruise Line Just Canceled 11 Fall Sailings-Here's What Travelers Need to Know

""While we try to maintain original itineraries as much as possible, at times modifications are made to optimize voyages to meet guest demand or due to changing port availability.""

""Travelers affected by the cancellations have already been contacted by Carnival and offered two options: either cancel and receive a full refund, or rebook another Carnival cruise with the original fare protected.""

""Carnival has since told Fox News Digital that the cancellations are due to new itineraries that the Firenze will be sailing from Long Beach, but shared no additional details about these new sailings.""

Carnival Cruise Line has canceled 11 sailings of the Carnival Firenze from Long Beach, California, between October 12 and November 16. These cancellations affect short itineraries to Baja California and Catalina Island. Affected travelers have been offered a full refund or the option to rebook with protected fares and onboard credits. Speculation about the cancellations includes potential yard periods, but Carnival stated they are due to new itineraries for the Firenze. Other sailings before and after the canceled dates remain available for booking.
