Judge’s Ruling Clears Path For Carnival December 1 Sailing (Source cruiseradio.net) There’s good news for Carnival Corporation as they attempt to restart cruises on December 1, 2020. A judge who seemed poised to throw a major roadblock in the company’s path has instead taken a route that would still allow them to sail before the end of the year. This is, of course, assuming all of the other necessary pieces fall into place with the CDC and local government.
