Creator's Key Takeaways

We cruise so you don't have to learn the hard way.

Number one is got to be skipping the online check-in.

Always, by the way, always tip your porters.

They are not. Okay. What is included is water, tea, basic coffee, and and non hands squeezed juices.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Complete online check-in two weeks before your cruise to save time at embarkation.
โœ“Download the Carnival Hub app before your cruise to enhance your onboard experience.
โœ“Arrive 10-30 minutes early for your check-in time, depending on how you're getting to the port.
โœ“Research prohibited items on Carnival's website to avoid packing banned items.
โœ“Prepay gratuities or be aware of the daily charges to your cabin.
