Carnival Cruise Line has introduced a more rigorous bikini dress code policy that took effect in June 2026. This new policy specifically governs the type of swimwear passengers may wear while docked at island destinations.
Implementation of these attire guidelines has led to surprise among some passengers, as the dress code began being enforced without extensive prior notice. The changes apply during shore excursions at various island ports visited throughout Carnival cruises.
Travelers planning to visit island stops aboard Carnival vessels are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the updated bikini dress code requirements to ensure compliance and avoid potential issues
during their shore visits.
