When I inquired about changing my Jan 21 sailing on Mardi gras to a different port , I called twice and two separate agents advised of this which is copied and posted from Carnival site, " Cruise Cancellation and Itinerary Change PolicyIf it is necessary to cancel any or multiple ports, we will do our best to find alternative destinations. However, if we are unsuccessful in doing so, there will be no compensation for missed ports..."

Seems we all bought in for this cruise and paid our fares in full - then they rearrange ports, start limiting times and amounts at which we can eat - perhaps their needs to be protections for passengers as Carnival is showing that their cruise contract protects them and provides zero protections to the consumer. As for changing ships - good luck on this. I called Carnival two days ago on this topic and they referenced this, " Cruise Cancellation and Itinerary Change PolicyIf it is necessary to cancel any or multiple ports, we will do our best to find alternative destinations. However, if we are unsuccessful in doing so, there will be no compensation for missed ports..."

Received new email from Carnival about another round of price increases to specialty dining areas and the elimination of entries beyond 2 in main dining rooms as well as nixing the 24-hour ice cream. Called Carnival and they referenced section H that they can eliminate this and more if needed and even charge a surcharge for the cruise at the gate - and I just paid in full on 4-state rooms for Jan-21, 2023. This "sailing contract" has zero protective provisions for the customer and you cannot count on anything when booking a cruise...including the fact they even changed San Juan port as a cost saving measure already on Mardi Gras. Seems every few days Carnival sends out emails removing yet another item we expected to be available.
