Passenger went over board and died
A passenger of the 'Carnival Liberty- died after going overboard while the ship was sailing between Celebration Key and Nassau, just off Grand Bahaman, on May 13, 2026, shortly after the vessel departed Celebration Key, the private Bahamian destination operated by CCL-Carnival Cruise Line. The male passenger had apparently climbed over the balcony of his stateroom before entering the water. The crew initiated emergency response procedures immediately after the incident was reported. Rescue operations included the deployment of a rescue craft and the use of lifesaving equipment while the ship searched the waters between Celebration Key and Nassau. The man was subsequently recovered from the sea but did not survive. CCL stated that support was being provided to the family.
Cruise ships experiencing widespread technology issues
Carnival Cruise Line was experiencing widespread technology issues that have now caused embarkation delays for the 'Carnival Breeze', 'Carnival Glory' and 'Carnival Freedom' on the morning of Feby 9, 2026. The issues have been widespread across the fleet, affecting various aspects and have also caused difficulties for other onboard systems, as well as prevented some debarking guests from collecting a favourite cruise vacation souvenir. The impacted ships were requesting that incoming guests revise both debarkation and embarkation, when they plan to arrive at their respective cruise terminals. Carnival Cruise Line has sent out communications to impacted guests, advising them of the change with emails, text alerts, and phone calls: “We are managing a system-related matter that is impacting our debarkation and embarkation operations and your check-in time is being pushed back. Please arrive two hours later than your pre-selected Terminal Arrival Appointment (for example, 11:00 AM – 11:30 AM appointment will become 1:00 PM – 1:30 PM)." All guests must be onboard their respective ships no later than 4:30 p.m. so the vessels can prepare for their planned departures. The impacted ships were as follows: - 'Carnival Breeze' – 5-night Western Caribbean sailing from Galveston to Cozumel and Progreso; - 'Carnival Glory' – 4-night Bahamas itinerary from Port Canaveral to Nassau and Celebration Key - 'Carnival Freedom' – 5-night Bahamas cruise from Port Canaveral to Celebration Key, Nassau, and Half Moon Cay At the moment, only debarkation and embarkation were impacted, and there were no changes to the ports of call for any of the ships. If the delays became more extensive, however, this could change and itinerary updates may be needed. Guests were advised to opt in to Carnival text alerts for further updates if any additional changes are necessary. The current technical issues were a continuation of the issue that impacted the 'Carnival Liberty' on Feb 8, which also resulted in a two-hour embarkation delay in New Orleans.The system outage affected also the debarkation of guests, because manual counts were necessary to ensure all guests have left their ships. This prolonged debarkation as Sail and Sign cards were being collected rather than quickly scanned and returned to guests. Carnival’s Sail and Sign cards include individual details such as the ship name, sailing date, dining time, and muster station.
Cruise cancelled due to strike
The 'Carnival Liberty' will not be returning to service as scheduled after its dry dock stay. Recent changes have led to the unexpected cancelation of its July 6, 2025, sailing from New Orleans. Guests booked on the now-canceled voyage received email notifications. The change in plans was due to a worker’s strike at the shipyard in Cádiz. After negotiations with strikers, the ship was moved to the Chantier Naval de Marseille on June 22 with an ETA as of June 24 in order to complete the trfurbishment work. The canceled voyage was a 7-night Bahamas itinerary from New Orleans, with scheduled stops at Key West, Freeport, and Nassau. The July 13 sailing – a 7-night Western Caribbean itinerary – remained on schedule. - Full Refunds: All booked guests will automatically receive a full refund for their cruise fare, port taxes, and any pre-paid add-ons, such as gratuities, internet connectivity, drink packages, and shore tours. Refunds will be processed back to the original form of payment. - Future Cruise Credit (FCC): In addition to the full refund, Carnival is providing a 100% future cruise credit (FCC) for the cruise fare. This credit must be redeemed no later than June 30, 2026, and can be used on any Carnival cruise, allowing guests to rebook on any ship, homeport, itinerary length, or sailing date. - Airfare Reimbursement: Carnival will also reimburse guests up to $200 per person for non-refundable airfare or air change fees, provided supporting documentation is submitted for consideration.
