BREAKING: 2026 Carnival Wi-Fi Prices Increase Without Notice

Carnival Wi-Fi prices for 2026 have increased, according to guest reports, with no public notice from the company. Guests purchasing Wi-Fi packages for next-year sailings are finding higher daily rates than those shown for identical 2025 trips.

Reports from multiple cruise sites indicate the change surfaced after a draft page was accidentally published on Carnival’s travel-agent portal on October 24. Cruise Spotlight first reported that the page listed higher pre-purchase rates on Wi-Fi packages for cruises departing after December 1 and included a placeholder “TBD” where onboard prices would normally appear. The page was later taken down, but soon after, the same rates began showing inside passenger booking portals.

Carnival has not issued a statement about the change. Wi-Fi price adjustments have usually been introduced near the end of the year, so an apparent rollout this early has caught many regular cruisers off guard.

The increase reportedly affects all Carnival internet packages, including the Social, Value, and Premium options offered across the fleet. Outlets covering the update describe increases averaging seven to nine percent per plan.

Some travelers say 2025 sailings still show the previous rates, but all 2026 departures appear to reflect the updated pricing. There is currently no option to buy next-year Wi-Fi packages at the older rate.

Into the Funnel is reviewing booking data for multiple 2026 sailings and will update this article if Carnival provides clarification or an official statement.
