Carnival doesn't care where you sleep.

Not true , but you do you.

Also, never ever use a debit card to pay for something online or in a store.

So a debit card is only an ATM card? I could be missing something here though.

We have used BC for 19 of our 20 cruises.  Never once was my wife asked for our marriage license.  

If the name on the paperwork provided matched she wouldn't be asked.

The marriage paper is for name bridging if you are asked for it. There are posts here with people saying they have been asked to "bridge" for whatever reasons.

Tried to go, but wife said no, maybe next time though.

Surprise her put pineapple deco. on the door. Perhaps pineapple jewelry or clothes with pineapples.

Glad to see some clarity on this question. From last week's Breeze 5-day. A screenshot from the Hub app. I know this contradicts the website, but the website info is often outdated.

There literally was a lady in a swimsuit with a  sheer coverup on elegant night and people in tshirts my last cruise. In fact all that is listed their was probably seen.

Wear clothes don't be nasty

I've gotten my clothes pressed with no charge before. Maybe it's a YMMV thing.

Yes, Carnival doing stuff against their written/stated policy is definitely YMMV.

I had this or that happen which directly goes against policy isn't the norm.

Just tell the people in charge lazydayz from CC said go against written policy and it's cool when employees and guests steal.

I volunteer to be the "guest" to anyone's drinks on us + guest.

We don't even have to meet or anything just hook me up.

No idea , but  you should take them to the casino and let them press the buttons on the slots and roll some dice.

How accessible are the following ports for the handicapped (walking) from the ship ?

Key West

Nassau

Freeport

Any golf carts, people runners etc ?02

 

Key west is walkable nice streets and sidewalks.

Nassau is a jacked up mess unless things have been fixed. It's been many years though.

Freeport ports in an industrial area so unless you taxi/tour out you are stuck in the main port shopping section.

I know Key West has carts not sure of the other 2 places.

No change since pre-COVID.   You are fine bringing what you did before.   

Sure that's fine as Carnival doesn't enforce policy/suggestions they make.

But 11-13 bags for 5 people is crazy and goes  against what Carnival suggests or wants.

Since Covid we haven’t cruised 😞  A friend is leaving in 11 day for first cruise.  How many suitcases are you allowed to bring onboard?  I told her we had 6-8 for family of 5 plus carryons.   Has a limit been set ?

If you brought on 6-8 for 5 people and added 5 more carrys you packed way to much.

Is there any hard limit to how early one can submit a Shareholder Benefit request?  Customer service had a vague answer, "advising guests to send in documentation no earlier than 3 months".

No earlier than 3 months is vague?  that is a firm date from your cruise date

I haven't cruised since precovid. We are booked for the December 10 cruise on the Venezia. Are nice shorts allowed in the main dining room for dinner?

If your response is for me to search previous threads or a snarky response, please move on. I just want to know we if there has been any changes in acceptable dress in the last 5 years.

Thanks in advance.

Snark is real , but so is lazy. "Nice" is also meaningless in the context of this post.

Carnival has the policy posted on their website. Rather or not enforced 100% is another matter.

I had people in jean shorts and white t-shirts on during elegant night on my last cruise.

Carnival has Canada ports.

We are planning a short 3-4 day trip on carnival. 3 people in one room (3 adults, I know). Two of us drink alcohol one doesn’t. Is there a work around for the third person?

Get a 2nd room or consume their 15 across the 2 drinkers and have them over indulge on the other items.

Is it possible to book my husband and I in a room and our 2 boys in another room to take advantage of the Cheers To You offer?  Our oldest will be 18 at the time of sailing and we'd like to put him as the primary on their room and then my husband and I in the other room, so we both get Cheers.

 

Does he have to be 21 to be a primary on a room?

Carnival should add this information to their website.

18+ do not have location restrictions unless I'm reading wrong or it has been changed

Did you call Carnival and tell them of the change in status?

Enjoy your larger accomodations without a scooter taking up space.

There was a semi-recent post about this. A lot of people say no beer and some said they do keep a limited number of cans on hand and they personally have ordered it.

So with almost all questions here - maybe yes or maybe no

No need to have personal experience. It will be refunded to the original payment method.

This question is one of those that always causes issues. This site has a handful of posts already about it.

A lot will say yes and as already seen some will say no.

Carnival isn't know to enforce their own policy and the policy of bubbles is clearly spelled out on their website.

I’m not making this up.  They didn’t know.  Do you really have a hard time believing that they don’t know every aspect of the ship?

A balcony divider opening isn't even close to being  "every aspect of the ship". Especially when its easily accessed information on a Carnival website for TA usage.

You have a crappy TA that doesn't want to do their job.

also "“some of the partitions are removable and some not removable”.  100% don't believe this was said either

Thanks for posting this.  Very helpful

 

Unfortunately the Carnival and Travel agent folks don’t know this and their only comment is “some of the partitions are removable and some not removable”.  Duhh

I 100% don't believe this statement. There is 0 chance Carnival or Travel Agents don't know this information/site.

Consider the link provided is a Carnival site which TAs have access.

But when you talk down and mock Service Reps you more than likely won't get what you want.
