ive been on a carnival cruise once before but it only went to the bahamas, then back to florida. bring some formal clothes because there will most likely be at least one dinner...(maybe called the captains dinner)...that is really formal and fancy. make sure that if you leave to boat at any of the stops that you are back on the boat ON TIME. they dont wait for you...even if your only a second late.

Answer 5

Answer 6

I just went on a carnival cruise a few weeks ago the "imagination" ship to be exact. I went to Key west and Cozumel. Bring a lot of sun screen and use it.

There's always something to do on the ship, and they keep telling you "You can sleep when you get home."

If they are having a demonstrational meeting go to it, they are very useful.

Just go with the flow of things.

And all the food is free, so stuff your faces until you can't any more! Did I mention there's food 24 hours...

Oh yes, and take the tour of the boat too, they have one on the first day.

If you feel guilty about eating all that food, I know that my boat had a running track on it, I don't know about all of the boats though.

Also, they have this card that you can buy for 5 dollars called a fountain card. All you do is show the bar tender your card (or waitor) and you get a pop/juice without paying the $4 or what ever it is for pop. It's good for the whole cruise.

Bring Nice clothes for the dinner

Book your excursions (the things you do on the stops) online before they all get filled up.

Don't be afraid to look like and idiot and participate in the random activities they have, games and stuff.

And don't be afraid to talk to people you don't know.

walk around the boat a lot so you get the hang of what elevators will take you where, and what you can get to from which floors.

Answer 7

bring your own soda and water!!!! they gouge you on those items ...like $6 each and no, they are not covered in the cruise package(its how they get more money out of ya)

Answer 8

so fun!!! take lots of pictures! enjoy the ship as well as the places you stop. always go to every sit down dinner and breakfast they are so good. buy stuff to remember it by. Have fun!!!

Answer 9

Thats pretty funny because I just came back from that cruise a couple weeks ago. Is it the Carnival Valor? So in Cozumel you shouldn't even bother getting off the ship. It's really nothing there. Just shops and bars. And Senor frogs.  Belize wasn't too bad. They have TONS of knockoff purses and such all around. But it's pretty much all shopping. But decent shopping. In Honduras, which is Roatan Island, was probably my favorite stop. It's like a rainforest all around. My group of people went to a little island about 5 minutes off the port. It's very nice. They have a pool, bar, shop, beach, swinging bench, and snorkling. It was very relaxing and calm. In Grand Cayman we didn't do much. We got off the ship into these little shops then went snorkling w/ sting rays. I don't like snorkling very much but everyone else said they loved it. And the rays are harmless. It's going to be a great cruise!

Answer 10

a boat and water.

Answer 11

I've never been on one, but I do know that you might want to lose weight cause most of the time, you WILL BE EATING! hahaha. But, see if you could let me know how it goes because I've been wanting to go on one as well.

I know that really wasn't ENTIRELY helpful, but I hope you enjoy yourself. :)

Answer 12

Just take it easy! I love cruises! Just have fun, and don't be afraid to get involved and look like an idiot! Talk to people, and you will make life long friends! It's a blast! Also, get friendly with your waiters! They will treat you well!
