Creator's Key Takeaways

we did say in our room service video that we tip extra for room service because we have heard that those normal daily tips that we pay against our room right 13 14 dollars a day on whatever cruise it is those go to certain people but I've heard that the room service staff are not eligible

I actually think it's a perk to booking an inside cabin I think it's great to have whole light-blocking I'm a light sensitive sleeper and I love being comped out

you can still see a lot of it we actually tend to see more door decorations on Carnival than anything else

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Tip extra for room service with two to three dollars in cash, as room service staff may not be included in daily gratuities.
โœ“Don't worry about dress code; casual clothes are acceptable on most cruise lines, and formal nights are optional.
โœ“For inside cabins, embrace the light-blocking and avoid early-morning excursions to enjoy your vacation.
โœ“Book future cruises onboard for onboard credit and reduced deposits, but check the time frame before committing.

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Check out easy cruise search here: https://cruiseline.com?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=cttv Hey cruisers, in this vlog we start things off with questions about tipping room service, keyless embarkation, and booking a future cruise. In our video about ordering room service on our Carnival cruise, we mentioned tipping for room service. That caught the attention of one of our subscribers that asked if tipping room service on cruise ships is customary since gratuities are already being adding to your daily bill. Also, Carnival has recently started rolling out a new keyless embarkation program, and some cruisers are concerned about security and exactly how the replacement for the Carnival keycard will work. Does it make sense to take advantage of cruise lines future cruise deals? Is it wise to talk to a future cruise consultant on a cruise, and what are the future cruise benefits? These are some of the terrific cruise questions we cover in this week's vlog. We also briefly talk about dressing for formal night on a cruise, booking an inside cabin (and how dark it gets), age restrictions for Zumba on a cruise, sea sickness bands, and do cruisers still decorate their doors?
