Creator's Key Takeaways

I usually check my bags but as a new Platinum vifp member I decide to carry on and I later regretted that never again

I'm cruising on this one with two kiddos by myself an embarcation is kind of stressy

thankfully because I am newly Platinum I was able to go to my room and drop off my bag

I always bring my own straw and yes I reuse it cuz I hate those Carnival sugar straws

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take an Uber to the port instead of shuttles
Carry on your bags if you have Platinum status
Bring your own reusable straw to avoid Carnival sugar straws
