Carnival Debunks Rumors About Stricter Cruise Rules

Written by on July 8, 2025

Carnival Cruise Line has addressed rumors about stricter guest rules after documents circulated online.

While some shared policies—like a 1 a.m. curfew for minors and headphone use in public areas—are real, they’ve been in place since 2023.

Carnival says the rules haven’t changed and dismisses a viral TikTok notice as fake.

The company also denies claims of music censorship aboard its ships.

The renewed attention follows a recent brawl in Galveston that led to 24 passengers being banned from sailing.
