Creator's Key Takeaways

do your research um a travel agent will give you a few more perks and and things that is a good way to go

personally I only take my passport off the ship if we are going to a port where we may need it to fly home

Carnival the tips right now are $12.95 a day per person

if you want a lot of attention or if you meet a bartender that's awesome throw a buck or two out there it couldn't hurt

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Research and choose a good travel agent for personalized service and perks.

✓Walk the ship on the first morning to explore all areas and plan your activities.

✓Take a photo of your passport on your phone for security instead of carrying the original.

✓Prepay gratuities if you don't want to worry about them during your cruise.

✓Throw a dollar or two to bartenders for better service and attention.

What to do in ports regarding passports — Only take passport if needed; otherwise, leave it on the ship and have a photo on your phone.

Gratuity charges and how they work — Gratuities are automatic; you can prepay them or adjust them at guest services if needed.
