While there is still a chance of Covid restrictions changing things and/or the CDC issuing new travel restrictions, Carnival has announced the new sailing schedule which to me, has the feel of legitimacy and a positive feeling toward a restart of sailing.
Carnival Cruise Line pushed it restart from May to June, but could now have 16 ships sailing in June, according to published deployment. While other itineraries and ships are projected to start service again later in 2021.A look at the expected first sailing of each Carnival ship as the cruise industry gets back into service:
