A: Not onboard. Maybe for while you are in ports.
Answered by mommeerayern on November 21, 2023
A: In theory no, but tip the porters who take your bag before check-in. If you are a casino player, you can take cash or do room charges. For slots, there is no fee, so it is cheaper than an ATM.
Answered by DACruiser57 on November 21, 2023
A: We bring cash for porters, cabin Steward and the bartenders on the ship.
Answered by okhappy493 on November 21, 2023

Answered by pcbbeachbum on November 21, 2023
A: Small bills to tip extra to outstanding servers & other crew, or entertainers taking special requests on board. Cash for the casino otherwise you could be hit with cash advanced fees at the cage or tables. Definitely cash for in port use, too much ca... rd cloning by skimmers being done.See More

A: cash for on-board tipping,bar tips or waiter tips,port purchases and taxis if your excursion doesn't include transportation. We never use a CC in port.

Q: What’s a typical fare on Uber/Lyft from Hobby Airport to the Carnival Cruise Terminal in Galveston?
A: You can go to either site and enter your locations, and you can see the cost without booking it. That's how I check it. Compare and save. Sometimes, one is cheaper than the other. Happy sailing! :)

A: @Water227... sailed with Carnival for 20+ voyages and have never heard of the Plus package Please describe or provide www Carnival link to the program.
Answered by maryred on July 10, 2023
A: I bought the Plus Pkg, which includes gratuity, and they still charged me for gratuity daily. I had to request it to be removed. Strongly suggest watching your daily charges. Lots of mischarges. 😞
Answered by water227 on July 10, 2023
A: Yes, you all are correct. I responded to a Princess post or so I thought. Not for Carnival. Plus Pkgs are on Princess Cruises. Sorry for the mess-up. 😞
Answered by water227 on July 11, 2023
A: water227, carnival doesn't have a plus package.
Answered by cortneyb on July 10, 2023
A: Prepaid gratuities cover tips for housekeeping and dining room staff members – waiters, room stewards, etc. They supplement the base salaries of the hotel services team members, some of whom you'll interact with on your cruise (like a waiter) and oth... ers you won't (like the crew members who wash your sheets). We always leave an additional cash tip for the room steward when we are leaving. Usually $1 to $3 per day depending on the service we received!See More
Answered by laniganb on July 10, 2023
A: You just pay it upfront to help finalize your bill. Supposedly, the crew has no idea if you have or have not paid; but there's always been rumors that this information is shared by the crew and they have lists of the cheapskates.
Answered by jallaway on July 9, 2023

A: Place your Cpap on the nightstand. Unplug the lamp from the outlet behind the bed. Use an adapter for the European outlet and then plug in your Cpap.
Answered by Henryparroyo on June 21, 2023
A: There will be 1 upside down American plug on the desk and 1 European plug. The plugs under the bed for the lamps are also European. You'll need to bring a non surge protected power strip and or an extension cord to even get the machine close to the b... ed. My husband uses CPAP too. I also advise you to take a sealed gallon of distilled water for it, unless you plan on paying $5 for it on the ship.See More
Answered by OGWonderWoman on June 20, 2023
A: @Jazzy2022... if you choose to neing your own a 15-20 footer should work in most cabins as the general dimensions rarely exceeds a 12'×16' footprint and the vanity outlet is about 40"-46" off the floor. If you request and file a special needs form Ca... rnival will provide a marine grade UL approved extension cord free of charge.See More
Answered by maryred on June 24, 2023
A: What is the length of the extension cord needed from the vanity to the bedside for the CPAP machine?
Answered by Jazzy2022 on June 24, 2023
A: We take a 6 foot extension cord and it reaches just fine.
Answered by OGWonderWoman on June 24, 2023
A: I should add that if you can't go a few hours without smoking, pick a late boarding time. Smoking won't be allowed anywhere while the ship is being refueled. They usually announce the refueling is done around 3pm.
Answered by OGWonderWoman on May 4, 2023
A: Smoking is permitted in designated areas. Deck 11 above Guys burgers is the most crowded and full of rude people who think they own the ashtrays. Deck 5 has the more peaceful smoking area. The casino on deck 5 allows smoking IF you are gambling.
Answered by OGWonderWoman on May 4, 2023
A: Yes there are several areas on the starboard side of deck 11 both covered and under covered. Down on deck 5 outside port side uncovered by the Red Frog. Finally inside at designated machines and table in the main casino on deck 5 during operational h... ours only.See More

Answered by maryred on March 16, 2023
A: We did this cruise last year Feb 12-20th and formal nights were the 14th and 18th. have fun!
Answered by courtneyfranklin on February 4, 2023
A: Elegant Nights can also be held when the ship leaves a port prior to 6pm. As you & the first reply noted certain events or holidays can alter when the Head Chef serves the American Feast menus. Also it is doubtful if disembarking 2-19, that an Elegan... t Night will be held on the 18th. Because the need to have luggage packed & out of the cabin (if not doing self assist carry off) would be impacted.See More
Answered by maryred on February 3, 2023
A: They will push the first formal night to Valentine's day. We did that cruise last year, but on the Vista.
Answered by OGWonderWoman on February 3, 2023

Answered by jallaway on October 25, 2022
A: Carnival Dream currently has the Red Frog Rum Bar and does not have the Red Frog Pub. However, a rumor has gone around that one will be added in future dry docks.
Answered by TravelWithNick on October 26, 2022
A: We stayed in a similar room on the other side. Great location, near elevators. Easy access to lido, pools etc. we did use stairs quite a bit just going up 2 decks.
Answered by hellofriends90 on October 16, 2022
A: Because they want to make sure one person doesn't buy the package and share with others in the cabin. Cheaper to just buy the drinks in most cases.
Answered by archangel1429 on September 27, 2022
A: Simply because it's an industry standard on most mass market cruise lines departing from the USA. Unfortunately some bad apples have ruined it for others by sharing the drinks when it was available for individual instead by cabin purchase.
Answered by maryred on October 1, 2022
A: You can get an exception for certain reasons, but you have to call in and speak with someone. I have a medical exception. I know there are other valid options accepted as well.
Answered by Gin72 on September 30, 2022
A: If it's any consolation, you have to drink at least 6 drinks per day. Plus they charge you for gratuity when you buy the package (extra 150) Also they charge you gratuity every drink you get (18%)So when the cruise ends if you've at least gotten your... money's worth you will still have a bill of 160 to pay. Assuming a 7 day cruise that's over 1200 dollars. I don't think most of us drink that much. I still love to cruise thoughSee More
Answered by mrweber on October 1, 2022
A: I agree because I don’t drink either but what can we do? However Princess cruise line did let us buy just for him.
Answered by tconn1952 on September 27, 2022
A: Rule is not useless. it has been well documented that vaccinated people have a lesser chance to get COVID and if they do, symptoms are less severe. now that the omicron booster is available, I will be getting a 3rd booster.
Answered by DACruiser57 on September 3, 2022
A: I’m not saying vaccinated is useless, I am vaccinated myself. I’m just saying test everyone or no one. It does no good to test unvaccinated and along comes someone vaccinated and untested , have it and speak it.
Answered by woody20 on September 3, 2022
A: Yes only if not vaccinated, which doesn’t make sense to me. I am vaccinated and can get on a ship untested and may very well have covid and never know it. It’s a rule that is useless.
Answered by woody20 on September 3, 2022
A: And if you have it and board you can spread it just as if you weren’t vaccinated. So it is useless. You can have all the boosters you desire and you can still catch it. I do know a few friends that caught it and were very I’ll being vaccinated.
Answered by woody20 on September 3, 2022
A: depends on if you are vaccinated. read the requirements on their website.
Answered by crusin4gramma on September 3, 2022
A: I am not sure about the table but there is no Red Frog Pub. Just the Rum Bar on Lido
Answered by Kirstiesmom2001 on August 1, 2022
A: I couldn’t find one on the Dream, on it last in June
