Secret tips please. Don’t forget to take advantage of the $15 laundry bag. Fill the provided paper bag with dirty clothes and get them back later that day washed and folded. Also try the Bonsai sushi. It’s delightful. 🎉
We sailed The Mardi Gras last week for the second time. A mistake a lot of people make is not cashing out your casino bank the night before you get back to port.
Very good info. My wife and I have sailed on 9 Carnival Cruises and have a tenth booked. We love to sit in the main lobby each early evening and listen to the live music - usually violins !!!
We are sailing out on Carnival VERY soon and we cant wait! Going up a tier status, priority boarding, having free slot play in the casino, having a cabin right in the middle of the ship, having a steakhouse reservation on the 1st night, meeting the FB friends i have connected with for our sailing date in person, etc. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos and advice!
I always like to search for ducks and I always tend to find 1 or 2 each cruise. I usually take a picture of it and then put it somewhere else for others to find.
I sailed on Carnival Splendor in Nov. 2024 as a first time cruiser. If you like your steak medium rare, ask for medium. The chefs have absolutely no idea whatsoever on how to cook medium rare steak. However if you ask for medium, you will receive a perfectly cooked medium rare steak!!! We had an inside cabin and when we first entered the cabin I was wondering how we were going to naviagate the cabin. My friend suggested we push the twin beds up against their respective side walls and place both bedside tables in the middle. Worked perfectly. We both then had plenty of room to walk around the cabin and also to store out belongings. The beds were left remaining in these positions for the entire cruise, which I greatly appreciated.
We sailed Carnival Celebration for Thanksgiving week this year. This was my second time on Celebration and my Sister’s third time on her! We love this ship! We had so much fun and did so many activities and we didn’t repeat anything from a previous sailing yet! I love that you can do ChiBang and Cucina Del Capitano for free the first time and $8 every time after that!
Secret tips. We have been sailing on carnival for quite some time and are gold members and getting ready to turn Platinum level on our cruise in January. Part of the perks of those levels are you each get a large bottle of water, so we do drink those in the cabin as part of our perks, and don’t get charged. A mistake a lot of people make is not knowing what is included in the drink package besides alcohol . Bottled water, soda, specialty coffees and gatoraid. We will get a couple of sodas and waters on the way back to cabin to stock the mini fridge.
The thing about the bottled water on carnival is that is you ar3 Red, Gold, Platinum, or Diamond, you get that large bottle of water, first one free, stop by any bar and bring it back to your cabin. 😊
CHEF'S TABLE... Do this at least once! It's amazing! I try to do it as often as I can. It is a bit pricey at $100 USD per person, but it is so worth it!! (This may be more expensive on the newer and bigger ships. Look under specialty dining when you make your reservation.) It is a longer event.. plan on at least 3hours. I always recommend book it BEFORE and pay ahead to guarantee yourself a spot! Its very limited and usually one night. Once on ship spots fill up fast! A few times I even walked on the ship and reserved my spot for chefs table before even seeing my cabin. You get a tour of the Galley... You actually get to see it in action during dinner service! You get to see the Exec Pastry chef demo the Carnival Molten Cake. (We even used to get an actual souvenir print of the recipe) You get 4 apps and champagne during the tour. Dinner is usually 7 courses with water, red and white wine. **Food Allergies and Dietary restrictions.... Do not hesitate to tell them any of this! They ask when they call to reserve and are very accomidating
Me and my husband and whole group of my cousins along with my brother and sis-in-law are going on an 8-day cruise on the Carmival Dream and any tips would be great! We all have balcony rooms in the same area so our balconies will be open to each other’s cabin. Can’t wait! I know we will all have a blast! Thanks for all your tips and suggestions!
Mistake #1 on Carnival is going at all. Sorry, but I've gone on two Carnival cruises (Legend and Pride) and they were both less than memorable experiences. The only reason I went the second time was because it was 8 years ago and I wanted to see if things had changed from our first bad experience. It didn't. I'm sure some will find Carnival a fun trip (and I hope you do) but it is basically a floating night club. Guess I'm just getting older and prefer a more relaxed environment. 🙂
I just got home today from my first cruise and it was on carnival. Loved the cruise but I wish I had understood how long the lines would be on embarkation day. Not just getting on the ship which took 2 hours but the lines for everything once we were on the ship. Then again on disembarkation. I have some mobility issues standing for a long time or walking long distances without being able to sit. Next time I’m taking a walker with a seat. Didn’t think I needed it but for a cruise it would have saved me from a lot of pain.
thanks for the video! we are going on our first cruise in March, do you remember about how much on average was the 50% bottles? trying to decide if I want to purchase the wine package or not
First cruise coming up in June on Carnival Splendor. I thought you could book for the shows to ensure a seat. You mention getting there 40 minutes early. Is that to line up? I have mobility issues and can't stand in a line for anywhere that long.
We took a Carnival cruise in September 2024. They had dogs checking the passengers after the security and bag check-in area. Also, I saw some cabin doors with rightside up pineapples as well as a pineapple in a hammock magnet. Are these banned too?
We are going on our first carnival ship in April, you said that we can bring a 12 pack of soda, is it the 12 oz or the 8 oz cans, or the small bottle of soda. Thank you, we are looking for forward to cruising the Carnival cruise ship, we been on other ships twice but this is our first time on Carnival line.
Our first cruise (we've only been on 2!) was with Carnival and I loved it! I'm scared that we're too old now or something lol. Mid 60s; what do you think? Stick out like a sore thumb?
70 and always have a great time and I'm a solo cruiser. Never have felt uncomfortable because of my age. I always meet so many friendly and fun people.
Great info. Ive seen that they have changed their free bottle of wine policy on embarkation night at the steakhouse and only give you 2 glasses if you are a solo cruiser like me. Can anyone verify?
Best way to plan a 5 day cruise for my wife and I in our mid-30s without our kids for 2025? I tried a travel agent but I haven't heard from him in 11 days. I appreciate any help.
I would suggest Virgin Voyages (adults only) or Celebrity ( very few kids). I've sailed both several times and seen many couples of all ages having a great time
Thank you. We are sneaking away from our two kids. Fewer kids would be a plus. There's so much information online when it comes to booking and choosing the ideal cruise. Do you have a bullet proof or easy way of going about it?
!! I am at the beginning of my "investment journey" , planning to put 385k into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% annually in dividend returns. any good recommendation on great performing stocks or Crypto will be appreciated.
As a newbie investor, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Liza Georgia is my trade analyst , she has guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessment, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns .
I managed to grow a nest egg of around 120k to over a Million. I'm especially grateful to Adviser Liza Georgia, for her expertise and exposure to different areas of the market..
I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle . I've been making more than $200k passively by just investing through an adviser and I don't have to do much work... Inflation or no inflation, my finances remain secure. So I really don't blame people who panic.
Without a doubt! Liza Georgia is a trader who goes above and beyond. she has an exceptional skill for analyzing market movements and spotting profitable opportunities. Her strategies are meticulously crafted on thorough research and years of practical experience.
i am unsure of carnival. i am not a big partier. i dont drink cuz i dont like the taste of alchoal. i hear there are alot ofights. people passed out drumk etc..
That’s honestly what I was concerned about, at least to some degree. I’ll share our experience in my Carnival Celebration cruise review, but if there were fights they must have happened after I was asleep 😂
@@LifeWellCruised dont get me wrong. 2 things. cuz i dont drimk does notmean i thnk no one should lol and 2ns i do like a good time but for me that would be in the casino. and that is another thing. i hear their casnios are packed all the time

Bring on the tips!!
Can you please make a video showing all included food options/restaurants??
The only mistake I made with Carnival is not booking another company. 😅 I hope MSC does not disappoint.😊
In my experience there about the same. But hope you have fun on MSC
We have avoided Carnival. But love their other companies.
There are definitely cruise lines with the Carnival Corp umbrella that will be the right fit for many. Which is your go to?
thanks for the video! we are going on our first cruise in March, do you remember about how much on average was the 50% bottles? trying to decide if I want to purchase the wine package or not
In my experience, the wine prices are on par with liquor store prices. Not super inflated like most restaurants.
Lifetime Carnie here!
secret tips plz and thank you💜
When you become "Gold" with Carnival you get a free large bottle of water that you can pick up at any of the bars.
yes secret tips!

More Royal Caribbean please....
5.50 for a bottle of WATER that is ridiculous

how does ship time work on a cruise from Quebec City to Boston?
If you pay gratuities ahead of time, do you still get charged the $16 per person per day?
