Here’s what we’re diving into this week:

Carnival is expanding its premium dining menus across adults-only sailings, improving entrée quality, dessert options, and elevated specialty offerings.

Carnival Launches New Zero-Alcohol Drinks Package

Carnival unveils a new zero-proof beverage package, but there’s controversy: not all inclusions from the alcoholic packages carry over, meaning guests may still face gaps in value.

Celebrity reveals new Australia & New Zealand itineraries aboard Edge-class ships, with prices starting from $200 per night, offering premium experiences at competitive pricing.

PLUS — OUR FAVOURITE BLACK FRIDAY TRAVEL DEALS
