Creator's Key Takeaways

if you do not book with a PVP or a TA and you have to make those changes Carnival charges that kind of thing

having that ta having that PVP makes it a lot easier on you when it comes time to change things

elegant night is me and Megan our only time for us to go and and get fancy photos and have a good time

if you're gold or a red card or anything don't try to do it we do not recommend going to your room and putting your luggage up if you are not a platinum a diamond

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book with a PVP or travel agent to avoid change fees and get price monitoring
If booking without an agent, be prepared for long phone queues and potential fees
Platinum and Diamond members can drop luggage in their cabin early, but others should not attempt it
