Creator's Key Takeaways

we always bring cash to use in Port whenever you're on the ship everything is cashless you will have a card that you scan and that's how you pay for everything on board

the biggest difference between booking a an Excursion through Carnival and booking your own excursion is that if you book through Carnival they make sure that you are going to be back on time to get on that ship if you book on your own not through Carnival it's up to you

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring cash for port and a credit card as backup
Use a power strip for extra plugs in the cabin
Decorate your cabin door to easily identify it
Bring a gift bag for your steward
Use a highlighter for daily itineraries
Pack Ziploc bags for wet or dry items
