On October 2, 2025, Carnival Corporation & plc announced it had signed a series of historic memoranda of understanding (MOUs) with food banks and community partners in Mexico, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic. The agreements make Carnival the first cruise company to formalize meal donation arrangements with these organizations, extending its fresh meal donation program to Latin America for the first time.
The MOUs cover the donation of fresh meals from Carnival’s ships to local food banks in the three countries, providing a steady supply of nutritious food to communities in need. Carnival’s program, which has previously operated in the United States, now expands its reach to three new markets, strengthening the company’s commitment to social responsibility and community support.
This initiative represents a significant operational milestone for Carnival, as it broadens the geographic scope of its charitable efforts and sets a precedent within the cruise industry. By formalizing these partnerships, Carnival enhances its brand reputation and demonstrates leadership in corporate philanthropy, potentially improving stakeholder perception and long-term goodwill.
