Carnival Cruise Line announced the next phase of its 2022 fleet deployment update, including new ship assignments for Port Canaveral and Jacksonville and additional itineraries and ship assignments for summer 2022 sailings from Seattle to Alaska. Here are the details:

• When Alaska season opens in May, Carnival will have returned its entire fleet to service.      
• Carnival Elation moves from Port Canaveral to Jacksonville, effective Apr. 23, 2022 to Oct. 13, 2022.
• Carnival Freedom moves from Miami to Port Canaveral.
• Carnival Spirit takes over several sailings previously assigned to Carnival Freedom.
• Carnival Spirit will then operate cruises to Alaska from May through Sept. 2022.  
• Carnival Splendor will reposition to Seattle and operate Alaska sailings currently assigned to Carnival Freedom. 
• Carnival Splendor will return to Australia with a new Journeys cruise to Sydney, Australia.
• Carnival Spirit will sail the Carnival Freedom Journeys cruise back through the Panama Canal.

Much as other cruise lines have done, travelers impacted by these changes will not have access to their booking for up to two weeks as Carnival completes the process, hoping to move their bookings to the new ships and provide equivalent accommodations.
