Creator's Key Takeaways
Carnival Cruise Line has announced that they will now sail outside of Oakland, Adelaide, and Melbourne going forward into 2027 and 2028.
Quite frankly, this is really great news for Australian cruise lovers.
I think that Carnival needs to receive props here. They have responded to the market.
Melbourne is still very much behind the eightball when it comes to the cruise industry, and hopefully that's something they can continue to correct.
