A: Yes. their is a jogging track. It's a bit smaller than most other ships, and if you are used to going to the gym in the morning like I am, you will find that is smaller also.

A: I just take Dramamine with me and take it after boarding
Answered by bateyrose on June 14, 2022
A: If you are prone to sea sickness don’t wait to board the ship. And don’t take Dramamine. It will make you tired. We use a product called Meclizine HCI Antiemetic. You can purchase this from a pharmacist as it’s behind the counter (at least at Targ... et) or I believe on Amazon. It is non drowsy. Its not a prescription and you take it starting 24 hours before you cruise and each day of the cruise. My husband is prone to seasickness and since we started taking this he has never had an issue. Talk to your pharmacy, they should be able to helpSee More

Answered by flparrothead on May 29, 2022
A: Google the ship name along with room legend and search images, it’ll show what all the symbols mean. Most of them are configurations of bedding and additional pullmans. Hope this helps or was related to your question.

During embarkment you will watch a video in your cabin then goto your muster station location willbe on your sign N sail card, and check in, and they will show you how to put on a l... ife jacket.

A: you need to check in on line and you can select the boarding time you want. at this late date, you probably won't get an early boarding time

A: On our Royal Caribbean cruise last week, we had a 12pm reservation to board. We showed up about an hour early and had no issues.
Answered by casacarroll on March 9, 2022
Q: Do you have to make reservations for the Guy’ smokehouse or Emerils for dinner like the steakhouse? If not how does it work? Like a regular restaurant where you put your name in and wait?

A: There is an up charge for Emiril’s. the food was amazing but the service was slow. It was the only time it was slow on the cruise for us.
Answered by cheryl007 on March 9, 2022
A: Guy’s BBQ is just like the burgers or Shaq’s chicken - if they’re open, just go to the counter and order, no reservations needed. Note that while Guy’s Smokehouse is complimentary for this first year of sailings, it will eventually be an upcharge lik... e other specialty restaurants on Mardi Gras. We didn’t eat at Emeril’s, but I think it’s the same that no reservations are needed. Emeril’s isn’t complimentary fyi.See More
Answered by bluewatermoon on March 8, 2022
A: Emerils is an up charge but its so worth it. It is slow but I think that is the point. Enjoy. If you are talking about Guys Pig and Anchor, you do have to wait for a table. We didn’t eat the two times we were on Mardi Gras but did hang out a bit... and that place is always packed. There is an up charge here as well. Can’t wait to experience Carnival Celebration as it looks way different for both venues.See More

Q: I'm cruising on Mardi Gras Feb 26th. Is a COVID test still required or not? I’m getting conflicting info

A: Yes, for vaccinated a PCR or antigen test. I'm not sure which test for unvaccinated.
Answered by MichelleMatlock on February 21, 2022
A: have to ask a question. Where are you getting conflicting information? Carnival has been consistent on providing and updating their policy on their site.
Answered by dkantouth on February 21, 2022
A: Yes. The only thing really changing is masks are optional and if you are boostered you can get the test 72 hours out. If you just went to the website instead of asking on the apps you might get the most up to date information.
Answered by Babsie1963 on February 21, 2022
A: Go Port is what was recommended to us. I haven’t used them yet, but that’s what most people recommended.

A: GoPort was what I used, was $85 no matter how long your cruise was.
