“We apologize to our guests but we must continue to take a thoughtful, deliberate and measured approach as we map out our return to operations in 2021. Our commitment to the health and safety of our guests, crew and the communities we visit is at the forefront of our decisions and operations,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.
Carnival Cruise Line will take delivery of the ship from the Meyer Turku shipyard in Finland later this month and eventually sail to the US and meet the requirements of the US Centers for Disease Control & Prevention. The Mardi Gras will operate from Port Canaveral and begin cruising in April.
The remaining routes scheduled to operate from Miami, Port Canaveral and Galveston through Feb 28 are also being cancelled by Carnival.
