Carnival added two adults-only SEA cruises for 2027. Carnival Paradise leaves Tampa on 12 Feb 2027. Carnival Horizon leaves Galveston on 13 May 2027. Both are six-night Western Caribbean roundtrips that call Cozumel and Isla Tropicale on Roatan. Everyone in the room must be 21 or older on the sail date. Cruise Industry News and Nautical Flock, both 14 Oct, say bookings close on 16 Oct 2026. Neither report prints a fare, a day-by-day schedule, or a clock time for that close. Nautical Flock says Carnival has not said whether anyone already booked on these two dates is affected. No Carnival newsroom URL for the two sailings was found on 14 Oct. Both outlets also describe four earlier Firenze SEA cruises from Long Beach. This post did not find a new Firenze notice dated 14 Oct.

Princess Cruises opened its 2028-29 Americas season on 13 Oct 2026, with more than 250 departures. The PR Newswire release says Amazon cruising returns for the first time since 2014, with scenic cruising and a call in Santarem, Brazil. Coral Princess adds a 64-day Circle South America cruise combining Antarctica, the Amazon, and a transit of the historic Panama Canal locks. The release also lists Caribbean, Panama Canal, Canada and New England, Hawaii, Mexico, and California Coast counts, including a new call at Iles de la Madeleine and Hawaii roundtrips from Vancouver again. The early booking bonus in the release runs through 16 Feb 2027: up to $300 in savings, up to $300 in onboard credit, and $100 deposits. Cruise Industry News prints that same end date. Seatrade Cruise News, Helen Hutcheon, 14 Oct, prints a Fort Lauderdale departure on 4 Jan 2029 and a return on 9 Mar, which the release does not, and a bonus cutoff of 26 Oct 2026. This page follows the press release on the bonus date. The release prints no fare.

Oriental Land named Japan's first Disney cruise ship Disney Imagination. Disney's newsroom on 13 Oct calls it the newest Wish-class ship and sets it to sail from Tokyo in spring 2029 under Disney Cruise Line Japan. The Oriental Land release on 14 Oct names Tokyo International Cruise Terminal as the primary homeport, a theater seating more than 1,300, and about 30 food and beverage venues. Ariel and Sebastian are on the stern. Neither English release prints a booking date or a fare. You cannot book it from these announcements. Disney Believe remains the Port Everglades ship, with public booking on 19 Oct.

If you want a Carnival SEA week, book by 16 Oct and check that everyone in the room is 21 or older. If you want the Amazon or the 64-day, open the Princess sailing and use 16 Feb 2027 from the release for the bonus. If you want Disney Imagination, wait for an itinerary.
