All cans of soda (Monsters included) and bottles of wine (1 per adult) MUST be in carry on.  If they are in checked, good possibility that they would be confiscated.  I would recommend putting your toiletry bag and aerosol cans in checked.  But you need to carry on beverages.

Booooo but thank you

I have to unload some of this dead weight as I can’t even lift my carry-on. I’m bringing 4 cans of Java monsters, does Sri is still need to be carried on? Will they take 5e, out of I put in my checked? What about aerosol cans?  If I could put my cooler bag and toiletry bag in my check I wouldn’t have any issues with it being to heavy and my checked bag  isn’t even full 

Why do cpaps have to be carried on? I can fit everything in my bigger case but I don’t want to have to carry it on myself. Just curious as to why they make you carry it on. 

With the back problems I have now I can’t stand more than 5 minutes without being in severe pain.

muster drill scares me, if it was like it was in the past I would probably not make it 

So after getting the email that we can schedule an appointment at the pier and take one  there I made two appointments. I found out that my drs office does the rapid test and my Insurance  covers it. My girlfriend rather just keep the pier appointments, I on the other hand would like to save $100. I really don’t want to cancel my appointment but I also don’t want to get there and they tell me since I didn’t cancel I have to still pay. But then I saw someone say that they will need to call the drs office to verify? We leave thanksgiving and there will be no want to call them

We went ahead and made an appointment at port  to do it the morning we get there it’s $100 but for less of a headache, I’m all in 

I am not a big drinker either but got the cheers package included with my booking.

I intend to try allll the drinks and walk off the boat with my liver screaming for help… lol

okay over exaggerating but I am looking forward to trying some drinks m

You did not specify if you are vaccinated or not, so I'm assuming you are.  A rapid antigen test for vaccinated individuals is fine as long as it is provided by a medical provider like a clinic or is the Abbott BinaxNow Ag Rapid Antigen HOME test (and not the self test).  The self test is not proctured but the home test is which is required.  It also needs to meet the other requirements like include your name (matching to your ID), birthdate, date of test, results.  I did both for my cruise earlier this month.  I did a rapid antigen test at a drive thru clinic at Hoag Hospital here in Orange County CA and I did the BinaxNow Home test proctured online.  Either was acceptable for Carnival.

Yep I’m am vaccinated and have the booster 

My urgent care does the rapid test and when I asked her if it was good for travel she couldn’t tell me because not all requirements are the same. I rather go this route because my insurance will pay for it and I am  just not certain on the proctored testing 

Sorry not real familiar with how these forums work , is there a way I can follow op? Im really curious about valor as we will be on her thanksgiving. Thanks for all your effort! 

It’s been a minute and I may be losing my mind but doesn’t the water sit on a thing that says it’s complimentary? Maybe I’m thinking of somewhere else 

We are on valor next month and we have decided not to leave the ship in Cozumel.  So with all that money we will save we decided we might splurge and get some spa services.

We are curious is the manicure and pedicure just that or do they massage hands and feet too?

has anyone had the peel? Is it like a chemical peel? Curious if it would really work on sun spots or leave us all red and achy  or if it’s a milder version

Also….  What is the tipping etiquette 

tia! Happy cruising! 

Im Booked under the ru1 code what is the difference? I know we get the cheers but is there anything else? I see people mentioning other ru and a number

No!!!  The test you just purchased is NOT accepted by the cruise line because it is not monitored!!

 

The at home tests that are accepted have to be ordered from Optum or Emed.  

 

Thanks! And I didn’t purchase thank goodness just saw them so I figured I would find out 

Thanks everyone for replying I feel better. So I went into Walgreens js saw a Benax test you got 2 for 25$? I’m guessing that was correct since the sign was above the test but you never know. 
 

Am I the only one that feels extreme anxiety when trying to figure out the plans for testing? Our cruise isn’t even until thanksgiving but every time I try to research I just get overwhelmed. My girlfriend is driving from Florida here to Ms. on Tuesday, then Wednesday we are driving to New Orleans, cruise leaves thanksgiving day. The Who,what and where’s I just can’t seem to wrap y head around on what we should do about our testing. I know nothing about the telehealth test I keep hearing about. Grrr sorry for venting lol

My girlfriend has a big bootay and the arms often dig in, I can’t remember if the chairs in dinning room and balcony have arms 🤷🏻‍♀️ We will be on the Valor 

We was offered a cheers to you package but how do I know which one? I never heard of ru2 9 or whatever lol 

I hope everyone is well.

I just wanted some ideas, we have a cruise books for thanksgiving week. My girlfriend has never cruised before so on her birthday I want to put a basket together of fun stuff and things she can use, all cruise related

Give me some good ideas!

We are due to set sail on her Thanksgiving day.  I am worried but hopeful. 

I really hope cruising is back to normal by then, it looks fun! Not sure I can justify taking that many days off work tho 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

we had a deposit down on a thanksgiving cruise.  We decided even if it wasn’t  canceled we would not go for safety reason so ultimately just didn’t pay off the cruise. Now that the cruise is canceled do you think we have a chance to get that refund back?

Not a big deal either way but I wouldn’t mind being able to put deposit on another cruise. 
how would I go about checking into this or requesting a refund or transfer? 

How would this be handled. My daughter and I are driving in but my friend and his niece are flying in. I know if you have an early flight you can self assist and disembark early. If they end up with a early return flight will they allow us to to do the same since we are their ride to the airport?

First cruise my daughter was 10, birth certificate, and state I’d. Second and third cruise we each had a passport. She was 13 and 15. No questions ever asked and we have different last names.

New to Carnival:  Is the FTTF pass worth it?

So we bought it last cruise for the first time. Hindsight it probably wasn’t worth the cost to us. Yes, we was able to get right on the ship but there wasn’t even anyone waiting in the lobby and this was around 11:30ish. Our home port is New Orleans and it seems to be one of the easier ports. Went to put our bags in our room and the main doors was closed and never having fttf we had to wait and see someone to ask if we could go in, we just didn’t know protocol. I had to go to customer service 3 times and once was there a small line so the benefit there wasn’t that great. We didn’t have any tendering ports. 
next cruise I think we will just take our time getting to port, maybe eat lunch in the Quarter so we don’t have to fight mobs of people on lido looking for a place to sit.
