Carnival Cruise Line Changes Final Payment Dates for New Bookings This Week Only

50% off deposits is good on every single cruise ship in Carnival’s fleet, in every stateroom category and type. This includes every cruise offered by Carnival through next May, as long as the sailing is outside of the final payment date.

Onboard Credit is provided as a non-refundable credit to your Sail & Sign account of $12.50 per person up to $25 per stateroom on two-five day sailings, and $25 per person up to $50 per stateroom on cruises that are six days and longer. The credit cannot be applied to cruise fares.

Cabin location upgrades are automatically assigned at the time of booking and are based on availability in like-to-like categories only (interior to interior, ocean view to ocean view, and balcony to balcony).

Carnival Cruise Line calls itself “America’s Cruise Line” since they sail from more ports in the U.S. than any other cruise line.
