A: you should use cash. If you use your sign and sail card at the table games you will be charged a percentage. I can't remember if it is 3% or 6%. In the slots no charge for using sns.
Answered by cruiseappraiser on April 1, 2024
A: Yes and No. Depending on how you want to track or have your account set up. You will want to use your card to track your points, and it is needed to "cash out," but you can either put cash in or charge your room. regardless when you cash out, it w... ill go to a separate account on your card. You can cash out at the casino counter at amy time.See More

Answered by cbyron3 on March 18, 2024
A: We had a room on Deck 12, right at the door, to walk out into the serenity deck. You can hear the music when they have a deck party. But everything on Lido deck is over by 11 pm, so it didn't bother us.
Answered by dacatt on February 17, 2024
A: I was on that ship in 2018 and don't remember which deck we were on.
Answered by enjoyurdaysmile on February 16, 2024
A: I personally LOVE formal nights. I wear a long gown, get my hair done at the spa. I make sure we hit lots of photo backgrounds to get pictures. My husband wears a suit because he knows how much I enjoy dressing up.
Answered by Ally57 on February 9, 2024
A: I enjoy dressing up for dinner every night, but my husband is dark jeans, a nice button shirt and boots…doesn’t get any more formal than that. And he never seems under dressed so that should give you an idea of the range. Carnival isn’t real strict o... n this so pretty sure you’re good if you aren’t in shorts and flip flops 🤣.See More
Answered by Fam2Cruise on February 6, 2024
A: It's completely up to you! On Carnival, you don't have to do the "formal night" about 50% do it and they will dress in gowns and suits.
Answered by crusin4gramma on February 6, 2024
A: As formal as you want to be! we usually match our group...sometimes it is simply dress shirt others full dress suit
Answered by slang01 on February 6, 2024
A: Yes one or two depending on length. But formal doesn’t mean black tie.
Answered by PirateLibrarian on January 23, 2024
A: Depending on the length of your cruise, you would have one or two.
Answered by flparrothead on January 22, 2024
A: there should be 2 on your specific cruise.
Answered by dkantouth on January 22, 2024
A: There is a buffet which is included…it’s not open all day though. They have breakfast, lunch and dinner but do close for a time between. Guys burgers, Blue Iguana (breakfast/lunch basic tacos/burritos), pizzeria, the main dining room (breakfast/dinne... r) and deli (hot and cold sandwiches) are all included. The Italian restaurant has free selections for lunch, but dinner has a nominal fee. LOTS of free options.See More
Answered by Fam2Cruise on November 28, 2023
A: Actually nothing is free. You paid for the cruise so The buffet, Main Dining Room, Guys Burgers and anything that you do not pay extra is what you paid for. Anything extra will be billed to your account.
Answered by enjoyurdaysmile on November 28, 2023
A: Some people go all out and wear black tie wedding attire. I think somewhere on carnival it says men should wear sports jacket, closed toe shoes and i’m not sure about the women. However these days you can wear pretty much anything that isn’t beach we... ar or jeans. Majority of men wear pants with a button down shirt or polo shirt and women wear a nice summer dress or pants with a nicer top. Wear anything that makes you comfy in the end.See More
Answered by Ollie104 on August 14, 2023
A: generally the first sea day. Formal is up to you. We love dressing fully formal, gowns, suits or tuxedo, most go much more comfortable, and about half don't choose to dress up much at all. its really completely up to you. They will feed you regardl... ess :) Have fun with it.See More

Answered by joyandjerry on June 26, 2023
A: Shampoo and body soap, plus small bar soap. No conditioner. There is a hair dryer that works fairly well. Thanks
Answered by Carnivalfoodie on June 7, 2023
A: it's supposed to be a combination, but bring your own conditioner.
Answered by joyandjerry on June 9, 2023
A: I think the conditioner is in the shampoo on the wall in the bottle that is supplied.
Answered by enjoyurdaysmile on June 8, 2023
A: coppertop, why are you talking about water on this post?
Answered by crusin4gramma on June 7, 2023
A: You can bring water in your carry on bag. It cannot be in plastic bottles. Must be in cartons or cans. You can buy bottled water in your Cruise Planner before the cruise and it will be in your cabin when you board. You can bring a 12 pack of soda als... o. One 12 pack per adult.See More
Answered by Coppertopp on June 7, 2023
A: you can order water online with Carnival and it will be delivered to your cabin. I have seen them take water away from people at check in
Answered by gjsanders on May 29, 2023
A: Technically, you can bring a 12 pack each, but here is the rub. No plastic bottles. You have to find water in 12 oz cartons or aluminum cans. Like others have said you can buy for your stateroom prior to your cruise.
Answered by dkantouth on May 30, 2023
A: No you are not allowed to bring bottled water on a carnival ship.Your travel agent should know that. It states that on carnivals web site. You can order water to be delivered to your cabin.
Answered by NanMarie on May 30, 2023
A: We were allowed to do so on our last carnival cruise in February can bring a case of water and a 12pack of soda

Answered by sharon1963 on May 30, 2023

Answered by Samud on June 4, 2023
A: Yes it does. It is on deck 11 aft of the ship right by the water slides. It is not open all the time. Times are listed on the fun times. I looked at one of mine and it says sky course open 9-5.

Answered by junkman25 on April 3, 2023
A: If you plan on having 6 drinks a day and/or combination of specialty coffees, juices, or shakes. Get the cheers!
Answered by FondaLogic on March 21, 2023
A: I would skip the bubbles for your kid and just get sodas with the cheers package. You get sodas in a can and can bring back to the cabin. Sodas/bottled water and energy drinks are unlimited so I try to get my monies worth and stockpile them. I take t... hem ashore on port days. I also get random virgin drinks and coffees but I am selective not to abuse this and put staff in s bad situation.See More

Answered by Carnivalfoodie on March 1, 2023
A: What is a standard bottle? the little one?
Answered by Erinking on March 1, 2023
A: One standard bottle of wine 🍷 per adult. No beer or hard liquor unfortunately
Answered by Carnivalfoodie on February 28, 2023
A: One unopened bottle of wine per person. If it has been opened or only had a cork in it, the bottle will be taken. Saw quite a few bottles taken on our last cruise on Carnival at embarkation. There was a large Rubbermaid container full of bottles.😬
