✅ Submit your booking request
✅ Select any add-ons
✅ Upload your credit card authorization form
III. Room Occupancy Info 🛏️
All pricing is based on double occupancy for the best rates.
✅ Options for double or triple occupancy are available in the booking form.
✅ Single Occupancy- Carnival does not offer dedicated single‑occupancy cabins. All staterooms are designed for double occupancy, so solo cruisers must book at the double rate—often called a 100% single supplement. That means you pay nearly the same fare as if two people were sharing, although you only pay port fees and taxes for one person.
Examples: A 5‑night Caribbean sailing listed solo starting at about $1,179, versus ~$1,228 for two ($614/person)—nearly a doubling of cost for going alone
❌ I do not match roommates—solo travelers will need to book at the single occupancy rate, which will be higher.
IV. Bringing Beverages Onboard 🍷🥤
Guests 21 and over are allowed to bring one (1) 750ml bottle of wine or champagne per person onboard.
🚨 Important: This bottle must be packed in your carry-on bag, not your checked luggage.
(Your checked bag is the one you give the porters when checking in at the cruise terminal.)
You’re welcome to enjoy your wine in your cabin. However, if you take it to any bar or dining area, Carnival will charge a $15 corkage fee per bottle.
🥤 In addition, each guest may bring one (1) 12-pack of canned sodas or water (non-alcoholic).
Plastic bottles are not allowed, and these must also be in your carry-on bag at the time of check-in.
Bringing your own drinks is a great way to save a little and sip a little—just follow the guidelines so they don’t get confiscated! 🍾
