II. Booking Link Info – Please Follow Carefully 🔗

Use the official link provided to:

✅ 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! 🍾

Extra Options

💳 Prepaid Gratuities – Plan Ahead, Cruise Easier
Available until September 5, 2025

$112.00

Carnival gives you the option to pre-pay your gratuities either at the time of booking or any time before your sail date.

 ✅ Pre-paying helps you stay on budget and avoid unexpected charges at the end of your trip.

❌ If you choose not to pre-pay, gratuities will be automatically added to your Sail & Sign account on the second to last day of the cruise and charged to the payment method you have on file.
 
 Should a guest not be satisfied with the service they receive, they can contact the Guest Services desk while on board. This will allow us to address their concerns in a timely and appropriate fashion. At the discretion of the guest, gratuities may be adjusted after they have been posted on the guest's account, while on board. Gratuities, as posted on a guest's Sail & Sign account, will be considered final after a guest disembarks and no changes will be made after the cruise.
 
 Gratuities are assessed on all guests, with the exception of children under the age of 2.

 Gratuities apply regardless of the dining options selected, such as eating at the casual dining restaurant or open seating dining, and for beverage purchases, an 18% service charge will be added to the bill.  
 
💡 While optional, pre-paying gratuities is highly recommended to keep your cruise experience smooth and stress-free.
