✅Deposits are $150 non-refundable ($100.00 is applied toward your cruise- $50.00 per person is applied to Melanin Ultimate Travels non-refundable booking fee.
III. Room Occupancy Info 🛏️
All pricing is based on double occupancy for the best rates.
✅ Options 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
✅Children and infants are considered individual cruise guests and are charged the regular per person cruise fare regardless of age. Infants must be at least 6 months of age at the time of embarkation to sail.
❌ I do not match roommates—solo travelers will need to book at the single occupancy rate, which will be higher.
