Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm going to be giving you tips on firsttime cruisers on Carnival Cruise Line.

I have a cruise coming up on the 18th of July, a couple of days from now.

This will be my first time on the Carnival Conquest and the ship is sold out.

We will be getting an opportunity to be the second cruise ship to visit the new private island in the Grand Bahamas called Celebration Key.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Get a travel advisor for quotes and assistance.
✓Check passport expiration dates 6 months before return.
✓Complete online check-in 14 days before sailing.
✓Arrive in departure city the day before sailing.
✓Put phone on airplane mode to avoid roaming charges.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Not having a passport for a closed-loop cruise — Use a certified birth certificate and government-issued photo ID, but get a passport if possible.
Missing the ship's boarding deadline — Be on the ship before the final boarding time listed on your boarding pass.
Flight delays affecting arrival — Arrive in the departure city the day before sailing.
