Carnival Valor Docked In Cozumel Carnival Cruise Line announced this morning a modification to their fleet return plan for some ships due to changes in dry-dock dates. Each of the affected ships had dry-docks scheduled in 2021 and due to scheduling changes with the dry-docks, Carnival decided to delay the return to guest operations for the affected ships until after the dry-dock is over.
The ships that have had cruises cancelled due to this modification plan are the Carnival Magic, Carnival Paradise, Carnival Valor, and Carnival Spirit. Here are details regarding each of these ships' cancellations:
