Carnival Cruise Line Launches “Glitch & Glory” Experience! #carnivalcruise #vifp

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Carnival Cruise Line Miami, Florida April 1, 2026 Carnival Cruise Line Launches “Glitch & Glory” Experience: Turning 2026’s Record-Breaking IT Spectacular and Surprise Cancellations into the Ultimate Fun Ship Adventure! MIAMI – After the smash-hit February IT “upgrade” that delivered a surprise digital detox to guests across 11 ships, marathon manual embarkations, cash-only casinos, and midnight departures, plus our thoughtful decision to cancel 11 Firenze sailings this fall for even more “itinerary flexibility,” Carnival Cruise Line is proud to announce we’re making the chaos official. “We listened to our guests who raved about the extra bonding time during those delightful 2+ hour boarding parties, the nostalgic return to paper tickets, and the thrill of not knowing if their cruise would actually happen,” said Carnival Cruise Line President Christine Duffy. “Why apologize when we can monetize the magic? The ‘Glitch & Glory’ package turns every potential failure into five-star memories!” Signature “Glitch & Glory” Features Include: • Premium Blackout Hours™ – Daily scheduled IT meltdowns just like February 2026. No Wi-Fi, no app, no problem! Enjoy face-to-face conversations, handwritten muster drills, and the pure joy of crew members manually counting every guest at the gangway. • Surprise Cancellation Lottery – Your sailing might be “refreshed” at any moment! Inspired by the Firenze’s epic itinerary pivot, winners receive a full refund… or the even better prize of being rebooked on a completely different ship going somewhere else entirely. • Power-Failure Romance Package – Periodic total blackouts (Sunshine/Sunrise style) for candlelit Lido buffets and emergency-generator stargazing. Romantic AND eco-friendly! • Cash-Only Everything – Because nothing says “Fun Ship” like hunting for an ATM at 2 a.m. while the slots are mysteriously offline. • Extended Sea Days Guarantee – If the ship has a little “mechanical adventure,” you automatically get bonus days at sea. Tugboat escorts included at no extra charge (well… maybe a small convenience fee). “Last year proved that the most memorable vacations are the ones we can’t control,” added Brand Ambassador John Heald. “At Carnival, we don’t just promise fun — we deliver surprises you’ll be telling your grandkids about (or suing us over).” Bookings for Glitch & Glory sailings open today at double the normal rate — because these kinds of stories are priceless.
