A difference between Carnival Corporate rules and Carnival Cruise Line rules.
The other cruise lines under Carnival Corporate (Princess, Holland America, Cunard, Costa, Fathom, P&O Cruises, Seabourn, and AIDA) follow corporate rules. Carnival Cruise Line is the only with an explicit exemption for amateur radio gear.
I fought earlier this year Princess and lost.

No wonder there is so much confusion in this regard - it's not clearly spelled out what is and is not permitted as far as ham radio goes. It looks to me like, if the captain authorizes it, you can bring your gear on-board and operate it on-board. Carnival really needs to clarify all of this with a specific written policy that states clearly what is and what is not allowed and who's permissions are needed to do so!
