Creator's Key Takeaways

I highly highly recommend her she has been awesome for us when we've been booking our Carnival Cruises over the years

I recommend that you unfortunately stay up you know midnight of the day that your check-in is available and that'll allow you to get on that first window

please do not use your debit card in the ports

Creator's Tips & Advice

Research dates, places, and ship size before booking
Fly down the day before your cruise and book hotel shuttle or Uber in advance
Use a VIFP person to help book your first Carnival cruise
Download the Carnival Hub app for countdown and check-in
Complete online check-in at midnight when available
Print luggage tags and boarding passes separately for each person
