Carnival Cruise Line Cancellation Policy 2024. Some cruise lines let clients cancel up to three months before sailing with no penalty. And, finally, from 14 days before sailing to the day of your cruise, the penalty.

From 29 to 15 days prior to sailing, the penalty to cancel a carnival cruise is 75% of the total fare or the standard deposit, whichever is greater. Current refund policies for cruises cancelled by carnival include an enhanced option that adds onboard credit in exchange for choosing an fcc over a refund.
