What are the benefits of booking Carnival's new Fly2Fun Air Program?
There are several benefits to booking Carnival's Fly2Fun Program. Our new air program allows you to select flights from most major United Kingdom, U.S, Canadian, Caribbean, Mexico, and Central/South America airports. Carnival also provides Flight Protection in the event of flight disruptions, providing reassurance that Carnival will make alternate arrangements as needed to get you to the port of embarkation in time to board the ship or to the first port of call (without violating the Jones Act). If no viable options are available to join the ship, guest will be given a Future Cruise Credit to apply towards a future Carnival cruise.

Air protection is automatically included with our air program.  It cannot be declined. This is a great bonus that we offer our guests.

What is considered a name change? What is considered a name correction?
A name change is considered a new guest replacing an existing guest. The original guest will be cancelled and the new guest will be added.

Guests may incur fees from the airlines for the correction.
