CRUISE NEWS: Carnival Guests Are Annoyed, Carnival Testing for Tour, Giant MSC Ships, & MORE!

Editorial Summary

This news update covers several developments within the cruise industry, beginning with MSC Cruises announcing orders for two new world class vessels from the Chantiers Del Atlantic Shipyard. These ships, currently referred to as World Class 3 and World Class 4, are expected to be delivered in 2026 and 2027. In Texas, the Galveston Port Board approved a multi million dollar contract for a fourth cruise terminal, which will include a new building, parking garage, and boarding bridges to support growing operations. The report also advises travelers on clothing restrictions in various ports, noting that certain military style attire is prohibited in some Caribbean nations like Barbados. Regarding Carnival Cruise Line, the creator discusses guest dissatisfaction following a schedule change for the Carnival Firenze, which moved its maiden voyage departure date earlier than originally advertised. Finally, the video explores potential changes to Carnival's Behind the Fun tour. Currently, pre cruise purchases for this tour are limited to specific ships, but testing on the Carnival Book and Carnival Horizon suggests the company may eventually allow these purchases fleetwide if the pilot program proves successful.
