Creator's Key Takeaways

Carnival is almost universally known as an affordable cruise line, and frankly, it is.

There's nothing wrong with an older ship, but there's no arguing that it is a completely different experience than something built in the past few years.

If you want calmer, actually try the kids side, also known as Starfish Lagoon, especially around the back of the pool.

Carnival is known as a family cruise line, but did you know they also offer adults only trips?

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Check the beer station in the buffet for cheaper beer by the ounce.
βœ“Break up your day at Celebration Key into two visits to avoid heat and humidity.
βœ“Look for power hour in the daily planner for half-priced arcade games.
βœ“Register interest for adults-only sailings via the link in the description.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Ship crowding β€” Use space ratio (gross tonnage divided by double occupancy) to gauge comfort; Carnival ships are in the 33-35 range.
Drink package limits β€” The package includes 15 alcoholic drinks per day; non-alcoholic drinks are not counted.
Arcade costs β€” Look for power hour in the daily planner for half-priced games.

Carnival Cruise Line is among the world's most popular cruise lines but there's plenty to know before you sail... that most people don't share. From the truth about the ships that rarely gets mentioned to the secretive adults-only cruises few know about to the chaos that's being unleashed by a new program that most cruisers hate -- it's all juicy stuff you'll want to know. So before you get on the ship, listen up because you'll likely hear things you don't anywhere else.
