Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on four Carnival cruises, and I've noticed a lot of changes since the last time I cruised Carnival.

The two biggest changes with Carnival have happened just over the past month or so. Those being the opening of Celebration Key and of course the very unpopular decision by Carnival to do away with the loyalty program.

Be ready for spa upsell phone calls to your cabin. In the past, I might get a call or maybe a note on my cabin door reminding me of spa deals that are available.

On our recent cruise, our cabin store told us he had 29 cabins he was in charge of. Oh my gosh, 29 cabins.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Be aware of increased spa upsell phone calls to your cabin.

✓Expect potential delays in cabin readiness even with priority boarding.

✓Note that ice cream machines may be shut down early and limited in availability.
