Set Sail for Education & Adventure: 2026 CE Cruise

Louisiana REALTORS® • July 6, 2026

Get ready to press pause on your daily routine and join House Call Home Inspection for an unforgettable blend of education, networking and relaxation aboard the 2026 CE Cruise to Mexico. Departing from the Port of New Orleans aboard Carnival Valor, this annual House Call Cruise sets sail October 17–22, 2026, with ports of call in Cozumel and Progreso. Attendees can enjoy engaging continuing education opportunities, exclusive group activities, and all the dining, entertainment, and onboard experiences Carnival is known for — all while cruising to exciting destinations.

While the official 2026 agenda will be released closer to departure, past cruises give a great preview of what attendees can expect. Sample activities and classes from a previous cruise included multiple CE class options, themed cocktail parties, costume night, group photos, a scavenger hunt, and elegant night festivities. Previous educational offerings featured courses such as Seller Ready, New Construction, and Home Inspection, taught by industry professionals — all conveniently hosted onboard, allowing attendees to earn CE credits without sacrificing the vacation experience.

Cabin options are available in interior, oceanview and balcony categories, with pricing subject to change. Space is limited, and this popular cruise fills quickly each year.
