Who says passengers are getting sick of this? If that is so why do the cruise lines have no problem selling their cruises? I prefer the low advertised price and then I get to choose what add ons, if any, that I want to pay for. Of course one can total up all of the extras, add that to the cruise fare and then compare that price with a cruise line that includes those items in the fare.

We were on deck 10 (10436 I think) and it was a nice area to be in.

Yes, one bottle per adult in the cabin. Guests are prohibited from bringing alcoholic beverages on board with the following exception - at the beginning of the cruise during embarkation day only, guests (21 years of age and older) may bring one 750-ml bottle of sealed/unopened wine or champagne, per person, in their carry-on luggage.*

In that context it does make sense, thank you.

While I can understand that a new manifest would be needed (and as I understand it CBP charges for processing the manifests, so that expense would absolutely be passed on to the passenger involved) I don't believe that it changes the closed loop nature of the cruise for the remainder of the passengers. There are undoubtedly some passengers onboard traveling with government issued ID and birth certificate and if the cruise was actually deemed to be non-closed loop then they would need to be disembarked at the next port, since every passenger needs to maintain the required travel documentation throughout the cruise and it is illegal for the cruise line to transport them without it. They also wouldn't have the required documents for any downstream port visits. In any event, even if the authorities did somehow view the cruise as non-closed loop from that point on since those with birth cert/ID are not disembarked then some exception needs to be made to allow them to remain so from a practical viewpoint it would hardly matter how anyone views the cruise. (The same scenario would arise if someone missed the ship or left the ship due to emergency, so this isn't something that only happens when a passenger decides to leave the ship at a port as suggested by the OP.)

By no means.

If you have any others fire away, I might be able to answer them from my faulty memory.🤪

Yes, there are restrooms accessible from the parking area in Port Canaveral.

Or you could take the higher road and give everyone the response in spite of those others.

OP you will have to report your results so if someone else has the same question it can be answered.

The water from the dispensers on lido is cleaner than what is in the bathroom cabin.

Learned something new today. I don't like ginger beer so never looked too closely at it and didn't realize it's like root beer in that it doesn't have alcohol.

I suspect that it will all come down to the knowledge of the security person screening it. If they recognize that the ginger beer you have is non-alcoholic they'll let it go. If they don't recognize it they will confiscate it. You might be able to point out that it doesn't contain alcohol but they aren't going to spend a lot of time on the issue- they have thousands of people to screen.

For some, sure.

While you might get a better response on the Carnival forum I believe promo codes for this are limited to targeted cruisers. I did not get one for our last sailing, but our son did.
