Carnival Cruise Line has announced itinerary changes for the Carnival Spirit’s 2025-26 season, affecting booked guests.
The company stated that the ship will no longer make several scheduled stops at Bimini in the Bahamas. This change impacts ten sailings, including those departing on Nov. 8, Nov. 22, Dec. 6, Dec. 20, and Dec. 28, 2025. In 2026, the affected dates are Jan. 31, Feb. 14, Feb. 28, Mar. 14, and Mar. 28.
Despite removing Bimini from its route, the Carnival Spirit will still visit Nassau, Celebration Key, and either Half Moon Cay or Princess Cays during its eight-night cruises. Departing from Mobile, Alabama, these cruises also include three days at sea in the Caribbean.
Carnival Cruise Line clarified that guests with shore excursions booked for the canceled ports will receive automatic refunds to their original form of payment.
After repositioning from Alaska, the Carnival Spirit will be based in Mobile for the 2025-26 winter season. The ship, which accommodates 2,100 guests, will offer a range of six- to eight-night cruises to the Bahamas, along with a special five-night cruise to the Western Caribbean in October. This shorter voyage includes stops in Puerto Progreso and Cozumel, Mexico, following a repositioning cruise through the Panama Canal.
Among the highlights of the 2025-26 schedule is a unique Carnival Journey. This 14-night cruise in January will sail to the Southern Caribbean, with planned visits to the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, Aruba, Curaçao, and Jamaica.
Though Bimini is no longer included in the eight-night itineraries, it remains a destination on the Spirit’s six-night cruises, which also call at Celebration Key or Nassau.
