Creator's Key Takeaways

Bagels at Sea is a new concept for Carnival, and I will tell you right now, I love it.

as far as deli go, Carnival has the best I have ever had as far as a deli.

The first few hours of imbarcation day are quite chaotic and I always try to find a location that's a little bit more quiet.

If you ever do a backtoback, it's really simple. Just make sure you got your passport or whatever your identification paperwork there is with you.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Check in at your muster drill station immediately upon boarding.
βœ“Use the free shuttles in Progresso but ensure you catch the last one back before the ship leaves.
βœ“Bring a passport for the back-to-back process to make it smoother.

Back-to-back logistics β€” It is a simple process involving meeting in a dining room to swap cards and using facial recognition for customs.
Crowds during embarkation β€” Head to higher, less popular dining areas like Chicken and Waffles to avoid the main traffic.
