Creator's Key Takeaways

I am sailing alone uh I am sailing in a balcony it is $2,700

I did plan a lot so I planned all my specialty dining on specific days

I added $300 to my account because my goal on this Cruise my last two cruises I had a $0 bill at the end

I will tell you I did not book any excursions for this Cruise my goal is to get off at each of the ports

Creator's Tips & Advice

Plan specialty dining ahead of time through the Carnival planner on the website
Fly into Houston Hobby airport as it's closer to the port
Add onboard credit to your account to manage spending and aim for a $0 balance
Consider a balcony cabin if the price is similar to an inside cabin for a better experience
