hello! First timer here. Cruising on Carnival ecstasy on Monday with 3 teens, ages 16-19. Two girls and a boy. Should I allow them to explore and do activities alone without me on the ship? How safe are cruises with sexual assaults and other crimes on board?

hello! First time cruiser going to The Bahamas next week on the Carnival Ectasy and super excited. How much cash should I bring and do local shops accept american money and credit cards? Also I’ll be traveling with 3 teens ages 16-19. Are they safe to roam the ship and do activities alone? Are there lifeguards at the pool?

Hello! First timer here. Cruising to the Bahamas next week on carnival ecstasy. I have an At& T phone. How do I avoid international charges when I turn the phone on for the camera or apps? Also, what do you guys think of getting the international Day pass via at& t for calls and texts? Thanks for any help!

Hello everyone! First cruise to Bahamas on Carnival Ectasy is coming up next week and I have tons of questions.

1. We don’t want to purchase the drink pass- so does Carnival offer any FREE non-alcoholic drinks? My teens want to know. IS lemonade or tea included free?

2. Is it typically cold in the restaurants and show/special event areas. I am prone to being cold very easily.

3. Is there a need for me to bring my iPad?

4. Are there typically any healthy options on board- salad bars, green smoothie offerings etc?

5. Is there a fee to use the on board computer room? I own a small business and may need to check in.

6. What’s a good way to cover the paper boarding tags so they aren’t lost or won’t come off once we check them?

7. Is there a good way to get an Uber from our off-port parking lot large enough for 6 people with luggage?

8. How do I not overpack? HELLLPP! Thanks for any tips and advice. Love this site! :D
