Carnival Orders Conservative Dress on Lifou Stops, Warning Violations Could Jeopardize Future Visits

Summary
Carnival told passengers on Carnival Splendor before its June 2 Lifou call to avoid G-strings, thongs, monokinis, mankinis and topless sunbathing while ashore.
Lifou's local customs drive the rule: Carnival says the tribal island's indigenous communities favor modest dress, including one-piece swimsuits, not just at beaches but in markets, churches and gathering spaces.
Carnival warned that ignoring those expectations could threaten the line's ability to keep Lifou on future itineraries, making the reminder more than a simple etiquette notice.
The guidance aligns with destination-specific rules already posted on Carnival's website, even as onboard resort wear remains generally casual and swimwear standards continue to spark debate among passengers online.
