Carnival Cruise Line has announced further itinerary adjustments for several of its ships, impacting cruises scheduled for 2025 and 2026. This follows a previous rerouting of over 20 sailings in September.

In a statement sent to booked guests, Carnival confirmed that the latest changes affect cruises aboard the Carnival Freedom, Carnival Magic, Carnival Sunrise, Carnival Pride, and Carnival Spirit.

Three itineraries for the Carnival Freedom have been updated, including the February 10, 2025, sailing, which replaced a stop in Bimini with Nassau and adjusted port times. The March 9, 2026, cruise swapped days for visits to Celebration Key and Nassau, with modified port times in Nassau. Additionally, the March 28, 2026, sailing changed its scheduled days for visits to Princess Cays and Nassau.

For the Carnival Magic, two sailings were impacted. The March 2, 2025, departure will now feature a revised order of port visits with altered times in Grand Turk and Half Moon Cay. The March 16, 2026, cruise will skip Half Moon Cay in favor of a stop in Nassau.

Three Carnival Sunrise sailings have been adjusted to replace planned stops in Half Moon Cay with Princess Cays. These affected cruises depart on February 7, March 12, and March 21, 2026, with two also seeing changes to port days and port times. Additionally, the March 7, 2026, cruise has had its Half Moon Cay visit and port times altered.

The Carnival Pride's March 8, 2026, itinerary will now visit Half Moon Cay and Nassau, replacing stops in Bimini and Princess Cays. 

Finally, the March 8, 2026, sailing on the Carnival Spirit has swapped Bimini for Nassau and adjusted days for visits to Celebration Key and Nassau, along with port time changes.

Carnival confirmed that shore excursions purchased through the cruise line will be automatically adjusted to reflect the itinerary changes. For canceled ports, guests will receive automatic refunds for excursions to their original form of payment.
