Carnival Breeze canceled five cruises scheduled for January and March 2027.
The cancellations are due to planned maintenance during a busy dry dock schedule.

Carnival Cruise Line canceled five cruises aboard its Carnival Breeze ship.

“As we manage a busy dry dock schedule, we must sometimes adjust our sailing schedule to accommodate planned maintenance,” the cruise line told USA TODAY in an emailed statement. “Affected guests and their travel advisors were informed of this change several weeks ago and we assisted in finding other sailing options. We appreciate their understanding.”

Five sailings were impacted in total. Those include a cruise departing on Jan. 11, 2027, and four back-to-back sailings between March 5 and March 22, 2027. The ship will be sailing from Galveston, Texas, in early 2027, according to CruiseMapper.

Cruise cancellations are relatively rare, but can happen for various reasons, including when a ship needs to go into dry dock or is booked for a full-ship charter, among others.

MSC Cruises confirmed earlier this month that it had scrapped around five months of cruises on its MSC Meraviglia ship, which will spend its winter 2026-2027 season in Miami instead of New York. Norwegian Cruise Line also canceled over four months of cruises on two ships in July, citing “a fleet redeployment.”
