Carnival Cruise Line Tips

                               
  • Parking is located on 23 33rd street (lot A or B). Fours days of parking is $45 dollars and goes up depending on the amount of days (leaving from Galveston, TX). 
  • Check in a few days prior and print all documents needed from your cruise account.
  • Put your own luggage tags on. Trust me it will make your check in faster.
  • Download the Carnival hub app ahead of time. You will thank me later! It is amazing!
  • There’s no iron in your room
  • There’s only one outlet
  • Bring your own toiletries 
  • Bring your own towels 
  • Use the towels in the room for outdoor activities ( you will need to use them for the seats outside)
  • AFT= back or the boat
  • MID= middle of the boat
  • FWD= front of the boat
  • The “fancy” food in the dining hall is nasty
  • Buffets and Guys burgers is good
  • There is unlimited ice-cream
  • The juice is nasty. It tastes like it is mixed with too much water.
  • If you want anything other than juice, tea or water you must purchase the “bubbly package” or the “unlimited beverage package”.
  • Bring your own blanket and pillow if you have sensitive skin.
  • There are hidden adult 24 hour “hot” pools.
  • The comedy show is funny. If you volunteer they give a lot of prizes! They have a PG version and rated R.
  • Bring your own iPad or tablet with pre downloaded movies (the tv in the room has like 5 channels)
  • Most kids stay in the pool for hours with no potty breaks equals one thing…. Which can only mean one thing… URINE!
  • Brunch is really good. I recommend the bagel and salmon with cheese eggs or the pancakes with hash browns/ bacon.
  • Cons: the pools are always full. Even the small adult whirl pools.
  • Be friendly you may get lucky and make friends with others that have a beverage package – Room cleaning is an extra change. Put the Snoozin sign out and you can avoid this!
  • Be mindful it’s a family cruise… leave your thongs at home lol. You will be surprised how many I saw.
Hope this helps! Have an awesome summer!
