Each row is a run of checks that found the same fare; a new row starts only when the fare changes. 27 checks in 17 rows, Sep 28, 2026 to Oct 31, 2026. Our daily check did not run on 7 of those days (Sep 29 – Oct 3, Oct 6, Oct 30); nothing is filled in for them. Lowest $217 (Oct 4, 2026), highest $262 (Oct 21, 2026), 27 checks since Sep 28, 2026. Each figure is the lowest fare Cruise.com listed for the Dec 17, 2026 sailing on that date, recorded by our daily check. The headline price changes when a check differs from it by more than 2%. A figure is the lowest among the cabin types that showed a fare that day, so it can move when a cheaper cabin type switches to “Call Us” or back.
Known costs for two travelers
| Fare: 2 × $217government fees included, per Cruise.com | $434 |
| Known so far, for two | $434 |
Crew gratuities: depend on your fare
Carnival Cruise Line’s own page lists Recommended daily gratuity of $17 per person, per day (standard, non-suite rate, USD, read Oct 24, 2026): prepaid, or posted to the onboard account during the cruise. Cruise.com’s listing does not say whether this fare prepays gratuities, so they are not in the known cost above.
| If not prepaid: 2 × $17 × 3 nights | + $102 |
| Fare + gratuities, only if gratuities are not prepaid | $536 |
If your fare or package prepays gratuities, the known cost stays $434.
This is not an all-in price. Not included above: flights, hotels before or after, shore excursions, drinks and Wi-Fi, travel insurance and onboard purchases (lines add a service charge to many of these).
