Lead Passenger 

 The primary traveler on a reservation is responsible for receiving and relaying all communications/documents to the rest of the passengers on the same reservation. 

Itinerary & Carnival HUB

There is a full itinerary with activities every day. A day-by-day itinerary will be accessible in the Carnival HUB upon embarkation. You can find detailed instructions on downloading Carnival's HUB here. 

Deposit 

A non-refundable partial deposit of $50 per person is due at the time of reservation. This deposit holds your spot on the voyage; however, it does not secure you a cabin. Your second payment of $200 per person completes your non-refundable deposit requirements of $250 per person; your cabin can be berth at that time. Once the full deposit of $250 is paid for all persons on your reservation, that can begin the berthing process. 

Passport & Identification 

A passport is not required for passengers on closed-loop sailings departing a U.S Port. Despite a passport not-being required, Texas Girl Travel does recommend using a passport to sail. If you need to apply for a passport, please visit the US Department of State website. 

 U.S citizens may use a certified birth certificate for cruising along with a valid photo ID. Refunds will not be provided for expired or delayed passports, incorrect or non-valid travel documents, or missed flights. 

Pricing & VIFP

Cabin rates are based on double occupancy, single occupancy is responsible for 200% of cruise fare. Current Carnival VIFP members may have special offers available. Please ensure that your VIFP number is included in your information so that while berthing, I can pull in your available offers and book you with the best rate.  

Final Payment Due August 15, 2025
