Carnival Cruise Line is adjusting itineraries to avoid the path of Melissa, which intensified into a Category 5 hurricane on Monday. The company’s Brand Ambassador, John Heald, said that ships sailing to Jamaica and nearby destinations are being affected.

While you might see some daring bathing suits on Carnival, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line, you won't see any actual nudity. None of those three cruise lines allow nudity or even offer an adults-only topless sunbathing area. Even Virgin Voyages ...

Heald noted that most of Carnival’s early 2026 adults-only cruises are sold out and that people ask him every day if more will be added. The positive response leads him to believe that more of these sailings may come as Carnival executives realize that adults-only cruises can really have a place on a family cruise line.

Carnival Cruise Line’s Brand Ambassador John Heald said that the company’s adults-only cruises are “extraordinarily popular” with passengers. In a social media update, he noted that the special sailings received positive feedback from the market but mentioned that Carnival will continue to offer multi-generational experiences.
