Carnival Sunrise Halloween cruise swaps Princess Cays for Half Moon Cay

Carnival Sunrise will not visit Princess Cays on the Halloween sailing. Cruise Hive quoted Carnival’s guest email on 21 Sep 2026. That report is the load-bearing source here.

The new Monday plan

You still leave Miami on Saturday 31 Oct 2026 at 3:30pm on that notice. Monday 2 Nov from 8am to 4pm moves to RelaxAway, Half Moon Cay. That is the same clock Princess Cays had.

Nassau on Tuesday 3 Nov from 8am to 4pm stays. Celebration Key on Wednesday 4 Nov from 8am to 4pm stays. Miami return at 8am on Thursday 5 Nov stays.

Tours and refunds

Prepaid Carnival shore excursions sold for Princess Cays cancel. Refunds go to the original form of payment, per Cruise Hive’s quote of the line.

You can book Half Moon Cay tours on carnival.com, in the Carnival Hub app, or at the Carnival Adventures desk on Deck 3 midship port side after you board. Independent Princess Cays plans you bought outside Carnival are your problem to cancel.

Why Carnival swapped

Carnival gave no reason in the email Cruise Hive published. The outlet notes Princess Cruises currently shows no Princess Cays calls from November 2026 onward. It also flags the same Princess Cays to Half Moon Cay swap on nearby Carnival Paradise, Carnival Spirit, and other sailings. Treat those as context, not a confirmed cause for your Halloween date.

What you should do

Open your latest Carnival itinerary email and confirm Monday is Half Moon Cay. Drop Princess Cays private beach bookings. Rebook water sports or cabanas against Half Moon Cay inventory if you still want a private-island day. This write-up rests on Cruise Hive’s 21 Sep 2026 report of Carnival’s guest notice. No separate Carnival newsroom release was located.
