Carnival cancels 11 Mexico sailings
Carnival Cruise Line recently announced big changes to some west coast sailings.
The line has scrapped 11 cruises aboard Carnival Firenze, which were scheduled for fall 2026 to Mexico’s Pacific Coast.
They are all short sailings out of Long Beach, CA.
“Due to changes to itinerary plans, we have canceled sailings aboard Carnival Firenze scheduled between October 12, 2026, and November 16, 2026,” Carnival said.
“We have apologized to guests and are offering them the option to rebook another cruise with their fare protected on a comparable sailing in similar accommodations, along with an onboard credit.”
Alternatively, the line is also offering a full refund if requested.
The Firenze cancelations are not thought to be related to the recent cartel violence in northwest Mexico as Carnival is still operating some short Mexico sailings to Baja California.
All Carnival guests have been notified of their rebooking options.
The cruise line hasn’t given an official reason for the changes, although there is speculation the ship may go into drydock for a refit.
