We buy cruise cash for every cruise and they always apply it to our account on the ship. It may be late in the day if you chose the first day. Take your email receipt on the cruise in case there is a problem.

We used to tape ours all the time. The way they toss the luggage around we were always afraid the paper alone would get torn off. We eventually bought the heavy duty plastic tags that are much nicer. You can preload them with the paper luggage tag and just tie them on when you are ready to go to the ship.

We are on that cruise from Tampa. We were told that it was a one-time thing. Not sure why they wouldn't do it more often.

We go up to Lido too and get hot food and bring it back to our balcony.

Tell your friend to take the cruise. She will love it. I used to cruise at 425 pounds and never had any problems (I have since lost 185 pounds), I used to worry about the toilets in the cabin too because they were wall mounted, but it worked out fine for me. No problem with the beds either. You do a lot of walking on a cruise, so if possible get an accessible cabin and rent a scooter. Then go on the cruise and have a great time.

OP please come back. [emoji3] waiting to hear about the rest of your cruise.

Every cruise we take on a bottle of red grape juice. Looks like a wine bottle. Never been questioned. I too wonder about taking on a bottle of sangria.

Why are you making this such a big deal, ashes look like ashes. Don't call anyone, don't ask anyone, it is your private moment, go to the stern and scatter the ashes in the sea, god bless.
Don't do this. You have to go through the ship to avoid getting in trouble. We did this for my daughter last December. We did not have ashes, but we used roses from the ship's shop instead. We had to have her death certificate to do the ceremony. You've already contacted Carnival, which is good. Put the cremains in your carry-on. If you get on the ship around 1 pm, you could usually get to your cabin about 1:30. I am also disabled and use a wheelchair, so I put as much as I can into a backpack. I hang the backpack on the back of the wheelchair (don't overload it) to avoid having my husband carry too much.
Once on the ship, go to Guest Services and talk to them about the ceremony. At the time of the event, you will meet at a set location with a representative from the ship and the Environmental Officer. The EO has to decide what can and cannot go over the side of the ship. We bought flowers from the shops to throw over since we didn't have ashes. They walk you to where you will do it and will back off a little to give you some privacy. The ship rep took my camera and took pictures for us too. It was a very nice ceremony.

I am a photographer (hobby, not professional) so I take the time to get more photos of the ship and to walk the ship and see parts of it that are usually too crowded to see when everyone is onboard. Of course, there's trivia and the buffet and sitting on Promenade when nobody else is around. Sometimes, you find a crew member willing to chat for a bit and you get to know them. Get yourself a nice drink and get some quiet time on Serenity and get into the pool without the crowds.

Often times, one does not know that they have a blood clot at all and only find out when, like in this situation, it goes to the lungs. 15 minutes of CPR is not a good sign for this poor woman.
This is very true. We did not know my 25 yo daughter had clots until the night she died. She was my only child and died in 2013 of a pulmonary embolism, a clot that went to her lungs. Apparently, they came from a severe car accident a couple months prior where she injured her legs. Wish there was a way to determine this earlier, but she had no symptoms.

We have been taking the Welch's onboard for the past 5 or 6 years without problem. I am going to look at the package with the wine glasses for our next cruise.

We get this every cruise. We just keep the email receipt (confirmation) and take it with us. Never needed it yet. They've always had it on record.

I cruise in a wheelchair. I am not confined to it totally but I have to use it because I cannot walk more than about 5 feet at a time. I book standard balcony cabins because my wheelchair is collapsible and fits through the door. Carnival is very accessible. Sometimes the thresholds of the doors to outside decks aren't easy but they are manageable especially with a little help. The crew are always eager to help if you need it too. You may want to go to the dining room when you board to see if they can move you to a table close to where the wheelchair will fit unless your child can move to a table seat and they will store the wheelchair for you until you are ready to leave the dining room. Don't fear, Carnival is great with accessibility.

Just ask the cabin steward for a sharps container. No cost. Then you leave it in your room and he will take it at the end of the cruise unless you ask him to remove it before then.

I started out cruising on Carnival with full mobility. My condition has deteriorated over the years and I went from normal walking to a cane to a walker and now a wheelchair. It is tough to walk on a moving ship if you have limited mobility. He may enjoy himself more with a scooter or wheelchair.
I can't say enough good about the crew onboard the Carnival ships. They are very helpful and accommodating to those with limitations. The ramps at some ports are very steep too, so the crew goes out of their way to help. Hope he is able to have a great time on his cruise.
I use a Fold & Go electric wheelchair that folds up small enough to easily fit through a regular cabin door. I think it is like 13 inches when folded. I charge it in my cabin overnight. (I don't work for them. I just like my chair and bought it specifically so we could keep cruising in regular cabins.)

I create one folder for the family. We drive to ports, so I put a MapQuest from home to hotel, hotel to port, and port to home. I put a copy of anything bought online like hotel reservation, prepaid parking, anything bought from Bon Voyage like water and Bottomless Bubbles, etc. Then of course boarding pass, itinerary, etc. Sounds like a lot, but I put it in one of those accordion type things that people use for storing coupons for the grocery store.

I just got mine. Bought 4 of the $100 ones. Took less than a week to get them. I was surprised.
-
If I remember correctly, I think we went under the bridge somewhere around 4 am on return to Tampa.

Anyone have experience with this scenario? Sailing next month, paid for an excursion online at Carnival.com with a gift card. Just cancelled the excursion. Will I get the credit back on the original gift card I made the purchase with or will I receive an Email with the excursion refund on an E-card? I'm sure this will all work out but just curious.
They do not refund back to the same gift card. You will either get a new gift card in the mail or a refund check. We did this twice and got a new gift card one time and a refund check the other.

Thank you for your review. I loved it. It was wonderful to hear a review from someone in a wheelchair. My upcoming cruise will be my second in a wheelchair and the Magic is the ship we will be going on. Now I am even more excited to get on the Magic.

We have asked various people on the ship and have been told both leaving it outside in the hall and leaving it in the cabin. I never thought twice about it until I had to start cruising in a wheelchair. It's difficult to get around the trays in the hallway, but I do the best I can. No problem either way. Won't ruin my cruise. :)
