Carnival Festivale and Beyond: Introducing the Next Generation of Carnival

By Amy Krieger
In News & Updates

Carnival Cruise Line shared exciting updates about its upcoming ships, announcing that the fourth vessel in its celebrated Excel-class fleet will be named Carnival Festivale. This nod to its legacy celebrates the tradition of giving new ships the names of Carnival’s early vessels, which helped popularize cruising for many Americans.

Set to debut in spring 2027, Carnival Festivale will be homeported in Port Canaveral, Florida. While reservations and full itineraries will be available this summer, eager travelers can sign up for notifications now to stay informed.

Innovative Zones and Immersive Experiences

True to Carnival’s legacy of blending innovation and fun, Carnival Festivale will introduce three brand-new zones, two of which, located on Decks 6, 7, and 8, will celebrate music’s power to bring people together.

  • Music Creation Zone: This area will explore the process of creating music, using cutting-edge media, interactive features, immersive soundscapes, and dynamic lighting to engage guests.
  • Live Performance Zone: An entirely different space dedicated to the energy and excitement of outdoor music performances captures the essence of live entertainment through immersive experiences.

The third new zone, focused on vibrant outdoor family activities, truly embodies Carnival’s commitment to enhancing onboard experiences.

Family-Friendly Features for Every Age

Carnival is the go-to choice for families, hosting over 1 million children annually, and Carnival Festivale is taking family inclusion to the next level. The ship will offer approximately 1,000 interconnecting staterooms, nearly a 70% increase compared to earlier Excel-class ships, addressing the needs of families traveling together. This replaces the typical Family Harbor staterooms found on other Excel ships.

Carnival Festivale will also make accommodations for its youngest cruisers, aged six months to two years, with a dedicated area for Carnival’s Turtles program. Enhanced youth programming and new open-deck experiences will provide even more activities for kids of all ages.

Sunsation Point: A New Outdoor Adventure Zone

The top three decks will feature a brand-new outdoor zone called Sunsation Point, designed to be a hub of family fun and entertainment.

  • Carnival WaterWorks Ultra will take center stage as the largest and most family-oriented water park Carnival has introduced, featuring six slides, including two family raft slides and others suitable for guests as short as three feet tall.
  • Besides water fun, the area will include treehouse-inspired adventure trails, dedicated toddler splash pads, shaded seating, and dry play areas.
  • Additional attractions like a sports court, ropes course, miniature golf course, outdoor games, and themed arcade spaces round out this activity-packed area.

Evenings at Sunsation Point promise to be just as exciting, with extended water park hours, vibrant lighting, DJs, and special evening activities—marking the first time Carnival has activated its WaterWorks area after dark.

Exciting Culinary Updates

Carnival Festivale will also introduce new dining experiences, developed under the expertise of Carnival’s Chief Culinary Officer, Emeril Lagasse. This includes a fresh dining venue that will replace ChiBang!, while popular staples like Guy’s Burger Joint, Pig & Anchor Smokehouse Brewhouse, and Big Chicken will remain onboard.

Further menu and dining details are expected to be revealed in the coming months, promising more foodies something to look forward to.

A Look into the Future

Carnival also unveiled details about its fifth Excel-class ship, Carnival Tropicale, set for delivery in spring 2028. Like its predecessor, it will carry forward many of Carnival Festivale’s innovative features, along with brand-new concepts and theming. The ship’s homeport and reservation details will be announced in advance of its debut.

Looking even further ahead, Carnival’s Project Ace is underway, with three colossal ships—boasting over 3,000 guest staterooms and a capacity of almost 8,000 guests—scheduled for delivery in 2029, 2031, and 2033. At 230,000 gross tons, these vessels will establish a new industry standard as the largest in the Carnival Corporation fleet and the most spacious fun ships in the world.

“These ships are our next-generation Fun Ships,” Carnival CEO Christine Duffy shared, emphasizing their unique blend of dining, entertainment, and redesigned outdoor amenities.

Stay Tuned

Carnival Festivale’s arrival in 2027 promises an exciting new era for cruising, blending tradition with cutting-edge technology and innovative guest experiences. To learn more about upcoming ships, exclusive itineraries, and onboard features, stay turned to thecruisingcompass.com.

Perfect Day Mexico - Overview

Royal Caribbean Unveils Perfect Day Mexico: The Ultimate Adventure Destination

By Paul Krieger
In News & Updates, Royal Caribbean

Royal Caribbean is raising the bar on shore-side adventure with the announcement of Perfect Day Mexico, a record-breaking new destination set to open in Fall 2027. Located on Mexico’s Caribbean coast, this expansive 200-acre destination is packed with more thrills, chills, and never-before-seen experiences than any other private destination in Royal Caribbean’s portfolio.

Perfect Day Mexico: Double the Thrill, Double the Chill

From the moment the announcement dropped, it was clear that Royal Caribbean wasn’t holding back. This isn’t just another beach day—it’s a multi-neighborhood paradise with something for every type of traveler.

Loco Waterpark: The Biggest Splash Yet

The headline feature is Loco Waterpark, a world-class water adventure zone that’s home to more than 30 adrenaline-pumping waterslides, including:

  • Jaguar’s Peak: The tallest waterslide tower in all of North and South America, with 10 slides—including a two-minute, 170-foot plunge straight from the jaguar’s mouth.
  • The World’s Longest Lazy River: A mile-long float experience with a twist—calm waters give way to rapids and waves for those looking for a wild ride.
  • Family Raft Adventures: A towering slide designed for groups of four to six riders, perfect for families looking to brave the heights together.
Perfect Day Mexico

But it’s not all about the adrenaline rush. The waterpark also includes multiple pools, including a massive 100,000-square-foot pool and a dedicated Splashaway Bay for the youngest guests.

Seven Neighborhoods, Endless Adventures

Perfect Day Mexico is divided into seven unique neighborhoods, each offering its own blend of excitement and relaxation:

  • El Hideaway: An adults-only escape with a swim-up bar, live DJ, and the exclusive Ultimate Party Cabana, perfect for groups.
  • Costa Beach Club: Elevated beachfront luxury with an infinity pool, private cabanas, and premium dining options.
  • Chill Beach North and South: Nearly two miles of stunning white-sand beaches with complimentary loungers and umbrellas.
  • Fiesta Plaza: A lively arrival zone featuring the world’s largest sombrero, live mariachi music, and local shopping.

Beyond the Beach: Dining, Drinks, and Culture

Perfect Day Mexico is more than just a collection of beaches and waterslides. It’s also a culinary destination, with 12 eateries and 24 bars, including six swim-up bars. The menus promise a mix of regional flavors and international favorites, ensuring there’s something for everyone.

Live music, local art, and cultural performances will further enhance the experience, bringing an authentic Mexican vibe to this one-of-a-kind destination.

My Take: Why This is a Game-Changer

As someone who’s sailed on countless Royal Caribbean cruises and experienced the original Perfect Day at CocoCay, I wasn’t sure they could top themselves. But Perfect Day Mexico is on another level. The idea of a mile-long lazy river—especially one that can switch from calm to crazy—is wild in the best way. And I have to admit, the thought of taking a two-minute drop straight from a jaguar’s mouth at Loco Waterpark already has me planning my first visit.

The mix of family-friendly fun, adrenaline-pumping thrills, and adults-only relaxation means this is a destination that truly has something for everyone. It’s clear Royal Caribbean has put serious thought into making this a game-changing destination.

When Can You Experience It?

Perfect Day Mexico will begin welcoming guests in Fall 2027, with itineraries from Galveston, New Orleans, and Florida homeports becoming available to book this fall. Whether you’re chasing thrills at Loco Waterpark, floating through paradise on the world’s longest lazy river, or kicking back with a drink at Costa Beach Club, this is a destination you won’t want to miss.
