Creator's Key Takeaways

I was supposed to board the Carnival Splendor and two weeks prior to that of course you can check in so they had some problem problems with checking in and travel documentation wasn't uh um being allowed to to be entered

I went to the US Consulate in Sydney Australia and I got just what they said I would need there was no fine print in there saying it has to be um a regular passport or whatever

still denied boarding so I went through all that extra trouble expense stayed you know obviously a couple more days and Australia trying to get on the ship did everything I I possibly could and still denied

Carnival could have done a lot of things better you know they they kind of gave me some misleading information that led me to think you know this could work

Creator's Tips & Advice

Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your cruise end date.
Check with Carnival's software for passport validity during online check-in.
Contact Carnival guest care immediately if denied boarding, but be prepared for delays.
