First time on Liberty, a few questions

[MandyMooToo]

We are looking at booking our first Carnival cruise on Liberty in October. I have been reading the forums (50 pages or so now) and I still have a few questions.

 

1. Can we bring a box fan onboard? It looks like the Carnival website says it is okay but I read some comments elsewhere saying that fans are sometimes confiscated?

 

2. Is there a mini fridge in all rooms? My husband is a diabetic and needs his insulin refrigerated.

 

3. Can we punch a hole in our S&S cards to wear on a bungee cord around our wrists? If so, is there anywhere onboard to do that or should I bring my own hole punch?

 

4. Anything I should know before going? We have always sailed on Royal so this will be a short cruise to try out Carnival. If we like it I plan to book an 8 day cruise for next year.

 

Thank you!

(Replies to OP in red) We are looking at booking our first Carnival cruise on Liberty in October. I have been reading the forums (50 pages or so now) and I still have a few questions.

2. Is there a mini fridge in all rooms? My husband is a diabetic and needs his insulin refrigerated. Yes, but you might need to ask about a medical fridge. However, our fridge on Valor was colder than ours on all our Royal cruises.

 

3. Can we punch a hole in our S&S cards to wear on a bungee cord around our wrists? If so, is there anywhere onboard to do that or should I bring my own hole punch? We just returned from the Valor (sister ship) and our cards already had holes punched in them. If not, go to guest services or the casino.

 

4. Anything I should know before going? We have always sailed on Royal so this will be a short cruise to try out Carnival. If we like it I plan to book an 8 day cruise for next year. We've always cruised on also and we went on this 5-day with Carnival for the same reason. We like it fine. I would sail on Carnival again on a different class of ship. We like some things about the ship (Serenity adult area), and didn't like other things (lido deck buffet/restaurant set-up). Also, you can take 12-pack of sodas, juice,etc. per person, but no alcohol and nothing (not even water) in bottles.

 

Thank you!

I aways bring a fan...but not a "box fan"...I bring a small desk top fan. I don't need noise...I need AIR FLOW! If you need the noise, there are "apps" for that. If you need the air, then bring something smaller....and it should be fine.
