As previously reported by Cruise Industry News<\/a>, the 2021-built vessel spent a night docked at Carnival Cruise Line\u2019s cruise terminal due to the problem.<\/p>\nAccording to AIS information, the Firenze finally departed from Long Beach at 1:20 PM on Tuesday, following a 21-hour delay.<\/p>\n
The vessel is currently on its way to Cabo San Lucas, where it is scheduled to arrive for an overnight call on Dec. 18, 2025.<\/p>\n
Offering a six-night cruise to the Mexican Riviera, the 4,232-guest ship was initially set to depart from Long Beach at 3:30 PM on Monday.<\/p>\n
In addition to Cabo San Lucas, the vessel\u2019s planned itinerary also included a visit to Ensenada, which had to be cancelled due to the delayed departure.<\/p>\n
Guests onboard the vessel reported that Carnival Cruise Line is offering a $100 onboard credit per cabin as compensation for the revised itinerary.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, the company\u2019s Brand Ambassador, John Heald, confirmed that the ship\u2019s delayed departure was related to an IT issue.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is Internet connectivity, and I know the teams are working very hard, but I can also say without doubt that the guests are having so much fun,\u201d he said while answering a guest\u2019s question on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
After departing from Cabo San Lucas on Dec. 19, the Carnival Firenze is scheduled to return to Long Beach on Dec. 21, 2025.<\/p>\n
Sailing from the homeport on a year-round basis, the 135,500-ton vessel offers a series of four- to six-night cruises to the Mexican Riviera and Baja California.<\/p>\n
In addition to Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada, the ship\u2019s itineraries feature visits to Catalina Island in California.<\/p>\n
In early 2027, the Firenze is scheduled to reposition to the East Coast for cruises departing from Miami and New York City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Carnival Firenze is now sailing after having to delay its departure from the Port of Long Beach…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":98202,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[131,133,132],"class_list":["post-98201","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-long-beach","tag-long-beach","tag-long-beach-headlines","tag-long-beach-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98201","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=98201"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98201\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/98202"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=98201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=98201"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=98201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
