Creator's Key Takeaways

We've never been on Carnival, so we're not going to bring any of our royal gear.

This is a four-night cruise. We're going in a day early. So, we five days, right?

We're going to try and do a live stream of the sail away party for you guys.

We're going in with an open mind and we're going to have fun.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Print your Carnival boarding pass and have it with you on embarkation day.
Bring a compression cube for swimwear to save space.
Use Aloha wipes to kill Norovirus on surfaces.
Bring a cross-body bag with RFID protection for security.
