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.

Q: Have a question about anytime dining and what exactly that means in terms of being able to eat at some of the other restaurants on ship. We have a steakhouse night reserved already for our anniversary but I’m wanting to try as many of the other places as we can do which are included free with anytime dining and which are not? Please and thank you!

A: Anytime dining is a huge dining area where you go during your specified hours and eat. You can still do the buffet lines or any of the other food joints anytime. You don’t have to do the anytime dining. We always give our hours but actually only go i... n maybe once or twice on a 7 day cruise. This is my opinion and not everyone else’s but I am not keen on what they serve always and with the buffet you can pick and choose. Hope that helps.See More

Q: On the Mardi Gras, for the balcony rooms that are at a bump corner (such as room 14495), are the balconies super windy? Are there any pros/cons to these?

A: I’m in 15339 which is part of the bump (extended balcony). Sometimes it gets windy but not too much. There are walls around the balcony that block most of the wind. There’s probably a little more than a normal balcony, but I think the extra space is... worth a little wind.See More

A: I was in 15329, at the bump edge. I never noticed excessive wind and I read books out there every day.
Answered by Dshepard66 on February 16, 2022
A: We are considering booking one of the forward facing extended balconies on the Havana deck. So I guess there are plexiglass walls there also to block the wind, especially when underway at sea? Thanks.

A: They had a Whites party, And a 80's neon party, Mardis Gras party could get crazy... sounds fun!
Answered by FJcruiZer on April 10, 2022
A: No Mardi Gras party that I’ve seen unless it’s during Mardi Gras. I would assume you can follow in your notifications.
Answered by Babsie1963 on April 10, 2022
A: Probably. Anything that goes on your cruise card you can use on board credit for. You can use it for your gratuities and internet too if you wait until you get on the ship to pay for them. They just put it on your sail and sign card and take money of... f as you spend it until it’s all used.See More

Q: Does anyone know how back to back cruises work with Covid? Does anyone know if it is supposed to say B2B on my cruise docs?

A: We just got off the MG today from a B2B. Our cruise documents didn’t indicate a B2B but they should merge both bookings. We had our COVID test on the Friday afternoon of the first cruise. We were assigned the 2:00 time and arrived about 15-20 minut... es early. I wouldn’t go to the restaurant any earlier than 8:45 am to wait with other B2B passengers which is what the letter says because we didn’t get off the ship (to them get right back on) until around 10:00 am. Enjoy! I’m so glad we had two weeks on this great ship! Hated leaving!See More

A: Motion sickness meds are a must even if you do not usually get motion sickness. Better to have them and not need them then need them and not have them.

A: Get some clips for your sunbed towel so it doesn't blow everywhere
Answered by mozartprodigy on March 14, 2022
A: depending on where you go. bug spray. nothing on the ship but some of the islands. also sun glasses
Answered by Leonardw2021 on March 4, 2022
A: It depends what you like to wear. I pack nice capris and tops for dining room. I pack shorts and tshirts for during the day, a bathing suit or two, slides, sandals, pajamas, under clothes. If you get cold a sweater is good. Toiletries (if you aren’t... picky they have shampoo, body wash and hand soap). Electronic chargers. I also pack some magnets for the outside of the door and some magnetic hooks and clips for in the room (the walls are metal), a deodorizer for the bathroom, a book or two, and a cup to put pop or water in because I don’t like the tiny cups.See More
