Carnival Cruise Line Releases Additional Plans On Fleet Deployment
MIAMI, Jan. 25, 2021 Carnival Cruise Line today released plans for additional ship deployments as it continues to refine its phased in approach to a return to guest operations for 2021, resulting in some ship-specific cruise cancellations and movements. Those plans include:
Related to already-announced dry dock plans for Carnival Magic, Carnival Paradise and Carnival Valor, those ships return to operations will be delayed until November 2021. Consequently, voyages on Carnival Magic from Norfolk (embarkations from Sept. 29-Oct. 30), Carnival Paradise from Tampa (embarkations from June 5-Oct. 28) and Carnival Valor from New Orleans (embarkations from Sept. 16-Oct. 28) have been cancelled.
In the latest blow to New Orleans tourism industry, Carnival Cruise Line said Monday that Valor, one of its two ships that homeport in New Orleans, will now not sail until at least the end of October.
The cruise operator, the largest in the U.S., has been extending delays to sailings on a rolling basis to reflect the latest expectations in dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. The previous update earlier this month already had both Valor and Glory, the other New Orleans homeport ship, not sailing until after April at the earliest.
Monday s announcement extended delays for several U.S. ships, including Valor, which have been in dry dock for upgrades and repairs. Valor has about 1,500 cabins and capacity for nearly 3,000 passengers, with crew of about 1,200.
