Creator's Key Takeaways

the average passenger on carnival is much more serious about having fun

many spots including gigi guys barbecue and cucina del capitano they offer lunch options that are free

the secret ingredient is velveeta cheese sauce on the burgers it may sound a little weird but it turns out delicious

carnival however they charge around 55 per day plus gratuity the same seems to go for nearly everything

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use cabin decks with long straight hallways to navigate the ship more easily
Buy bottled water delivered to your stateroom before boarding for about five dollars for a 12-pack
Visit the Serenity deck for a quieter, adults-only relaxation area
Book Havana staterooms for exclusive pool access if you want a less crowded experience
