Carnival has opened bookings for the brand-new Carnival Tropicale, the fifth and final Excel-class ship, launching from Galveston in April 2028 with a raft slide, retro arcade, and Route 66-inspired mini golf. Carnival is warning guests not to arrive early for the September 14th Carnival Venezia departure from New York, as the Manhattan Cruise Terminal is juggling two ships with only one active pier, meaning early arrivals could be turned away. And Princess Cruises has confirmed the heartbreaking death of 58-year-old Minnesota pastor Stephen Junker, who suffered a serious fall aboard Sun Princess in Italy and passed away weeks later surrounded by family.
