Creator's Key Takeaways

So, you finally booked your first Carnival cruise. Now, what? Look, don't worry, I got you.

Do not bring those anywhere near your check luggage. Put those in your carry on luggage.

If you left your passport, your birth certificate, or your identification card in your check luggage, they're not going to go and retrieve it for you.

Each guest 21 and over can bring one 750ml bottle of wine on the ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Complete online check-in 14 days before sailing at midnight Eastern time.
โœ“Carry your boarding pass, identification, and medications in your carry-on luggage.
โœ“Bring canned sodas (up to 12 per guest, sealed) and one 750ml bottle of wine or champagne in your carry-on.
โœ“Pack swimwear and a change of clothes since cabins aren't ready until 1:30 PM.
โœ“Bring chargers and portable chargers for phone usage.
โœ“Use luggage tag protectors and print extra tags for your carry-on and suitcase.
