Langley Cruisers Posted March 23, 2016 #3 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I tried to find the roll call for my sail date, but it doesn't exist yet. Then you absolutely should start one. :) Roll Calls are started by members like yourself, not by moderators, so feel free! That is how you will meet up with others on your specific sailing. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=377 <--click here to start new Roll Call .

Rare Keith1010 Posted March 24, 2016 #6 Share Posted March 24, 2016 There is a lot of great information on the cruise line board. Also start a roll call for your cruise. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qchell Posted March 24, 2016 #8 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Another wonderful place to get really good accurate information is the actual "FAQ" section on the Carnival website. Policies change, sometimes frequently, and there is some truly fabulous information within the FAQ's on pretty much every aspect of the ship including detailed information on the Cheers program, spa options, what you can bring on and not bring on, etc. etc. I find new stuff there all the time that I didn't know and I have been cruising these boards on a regular basis for five years. All too often people get upset about things because they did not take the time to educate themselves about cruising, their cruise lines' rules, what is provided or not provided, etc. and it really spoils their time. But if you take just a little time before the cruise to do the research you will help avoid a thousand little pitfalls that could inadvertently spoil something for you simply because you did not know. It is a truly awesome experience and the absolute best vacation you can have for the money. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my second piece of advice I give anyone about to go on a cruise (after getting to one's embarkation city at least a day early). I get so amazed that people ask questions that are found so easily on the website. And even after several cruises, I always check the website for the cruise line we're about to come on for the very reason you mentioned -- things change.
