What We Do
Carnival Cruise Line guests who sail from Galveston and Jacksonville will have even more options to choose from as they plan future vacations. The new sailings announced yesterday expand cruise schedules in both homeports through spring 2027 and open new opportunities to sail to destinations in Mexico, the Bahamas and the Caribbean.A highlight among the new cruises is an addition to the Carnival Journeys program of longer cruises that preludes Carnival Miracle’s 2026 deployment in Galveston. When the ship repositions from Seattle to Galveston following the 2026 Alaska season, the ship will sail a 16-day cruise that departs Sept. 26, 2026 and features a transit of the Panama Canal as well as visits to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and Puntarenas, Costa Rica.
From Galveston, Carnival Miracle will continue Carnival’s four-ship deployment from the Texas homeport and offer a selection of Western Caribbean cruises in 2026 and 2027. The ship will sail both four-day itineraries that stop in Cozumel, offering a long weekend getaway from Galveston each weekend through the winter months. It will also offer five-day options that include visits to Progreso, Yucatán.
Here’s what not to do on your next cruise by Ashley Kosciolek, Senior Cruise Writer
Cruises are full of nuance. Because they wrap your transportation, dining and entertainment into one package, there’s a lot to consider as you’re budgeting, packing and planning your time on board and ashore. If you’re not careful, it’s easy to commit a floating faux pas that can drain your wallet, create unsafe situations or simply make you look silly.
If you’re new to cruising, you’ll want to avoid costly pitfalls like double tipping, booking the wrong excursions and forgetting to put your phone in airplane mode.
Cruise rules are also important to note since certain ones should never be broken. Don’t be the person whose ship leaves them behind in port because they didn’t check the all-aboard time or the one who gets arrested for tossing CBD oil into their suitcase – something that’s easy to do if you don’t know what not to pack.And don’t even get us started on how much we want to cringe when we see people grabbing food with their bare hands at the buffet, hogging deck chairs by the pool or discussing the best methods for smuggling alcohol in their luggage. Talk about tacky.
When it comes to decisions about activities, make sure you know what to do — and what not to do — during both sea days and when you’re disembarking for some fun in port. Fortunately, we can prepare you with guides to help you save money, avoid regret and make the most of your time.
