I emailed Carnival to get their official stance. I plan to print out the email and bring it with me.

I would pack in your checked luggage. We had a sound machine in a carryon bag at Pt. Canaveral to get on the Dream. It was this.

Security took it and said I could go to Guest Services and see about getting it back. I went to Guest Services the first night and they said they didn't know why it was confiscated, but they have the discretion to return it. It was delivered to my stateroom.

 

 

 

I'm just mentioning this to say that if something does get confiscated, I'm sure that you can go to Guest Services and explain the circumstances and they can make a determination.

Not sure what you are saying to pack into checked luggage, the CPAP? It's a medical device. I'm pretty sure they don't confiscate medical devices.

I was going to come on here today to ask this very question!

 

How long of an extension cord do I need? We'll be in one of the 5 passenger Oceanview cabins on Empress deck on Fascination.

Glad my question is helpful to others as well!

To everyone providing the great information and personal experience with this issue, thanks!

Get a credit card.

Wow...thanks for the informative response. Personally we prefer to pay cash for things we buy (with the exception of house and cars). However, there may be other reasons people don't have a credit card and your insensitive response isn't appreciated.

I think I'm going to go remove my debit card from my S&S account and just sign up for cash. I'll just go to the bank on the way to the airport and withdraw enough to cover the tips, Cheers, and maybe a few hundred extra for misc. stuff.

We are doing a 9 day cruise and plan on doing the cheers package. Guess I better get lots of cash out!

So Carnival puts a hold on funds and charges separate? In essence double charging you, but the holds get released sometime later?

Wife and I don't have credit cards, so what would be the best way to do the S&S account, cash or our debit card?

It sounds like if the cords/strips are in with the CPAP then Carnival just let's them go in general. Maybe that is the safest bet?

So would it be best to pack it in the checked luggage or carry on?

Does Carnival allow power strips and extension cords to be brought on? We will be on the Dream leaving from Cape Canaveral in April. I have sleep apnea and use a breathing machine at night; from what I've been told there is only one outlet in the room and it's not near the bed. Also, we will need to charge electronics (cell phones, cameras, e-readers, etc). Anyone with personal experience in this?

Thanks in advance!

We have early dinner seating. Thanks for all the info.

If you have a set diner time, you sit at the same table each night correct? How does your table get assigned? Wife and I are traveling and would like a quiet table for two, is there a way to request this?

No, it does not end at 6am on debarkation day. I assumed it wouldn't cover debarkation day as well. However, my roommate thought otherwise so we clarified with guest services. We had mimosas and coffee liquor drinks at breakfast before debarking and were not charged anything additional.

 

ETA: This was on the Legend this past November

 

ETA2: Sorry for trying to help out with answering a question. I apparently have "problems" for drinking so early (insert eye roll here)

Please don't take offense to my earlier comment. It was meant as a joke. I'm a firm believer in "it's 5 o'clock somewhere"

Thanks! As a matter of weird coincidence, I'd already contacted them for a price. Gonna have to go!

either way, I think that starting to drink that early might be a sign of "other" problems...LOL

Were they charged extra on debarkation day or was it covered by Cheers?

That makes sense...just wanted to make sure common sense applied here! LOL thanks!!

I understand basically how the program works. I know that you have to purchase the program by a certain day after leaving port and I know you have to pay for all the remaining days of the cruise after purchase. However, I need clarification on if you have to pay for the last day (debarkation day). For example, we are going on a 9 night/10 day cruise (the Dream repositioning). If I purchase the program on day 1, do I pay for 10 days (including debarkation) or 9 days (every day EXCEPT debarkation)?

A slightly different question, do you have to be in a wheelchair or something similar to get to board with the handicap group? I shattered my foot a couples years back and have bad arthritis in the foot joints and ankle. I don't use a wheelchair, but due to difficulty walking long distances/ standing for long time periods my doctor signed off for me a handicap placard. I have a wallet card that states I am handicapped. Will that suffice?

Other than Mardi Gras, does Bourbon Street and the French Quarter get wild? I'm assuming it would be at night mostly (if at all)?? What I'm referring to is the women "earning" beads and such....

thanks for all the help! Any personal experience with any of those tours?

Does anyone know if you can bring a DVD player with you? Is it possible to hook up an HDMI cable to the room tv?

Naked cruise!
