Carnival Newbie - freebies?

Hi, sailing on 4/22 Magic Eastern Caribbean with my daughter. We are newbies with Carnival. Any good freebies or suggestions they don't advertised you've learnt sailing with Carnival? All cruise ships are different. We are celebrating my daughter's 11th bday on this cruise, she's also unaware we are going. The excitement I'm trying to maintain. :D 13 wks to go!

At most, if not all of the shore talks, you can enter a drawing for some sort of freebie. It might be a shopping bag, a pair of earrings, or some other item. Just check your Fun Times news letter each day to see when and where one of the shore talks is being held.

free deck of cards...

My daughter will like that! 😊

This is great to know. I always highlight everything we want to do the night before. 😊

You can also get free lanyards for your Sail and Sign cards in the casino.

Possibly a free liquor tasting and or a free piece of jewelry at certain times in the shops. Watch the Fun Times daily schedule. Thinly veiled sales pitches but free nonetheless.

Any time you go to a sales pitch (and there are many, sometimes called seminars, etc) you should either get a freebie or be in a raffle for something.

Free champagne, artwork and other "swag" at the art auctions. Not sure how interested your 11 year old would be in any of these though....;p

I'm sure this is not Carnival specific, but my younger boy loved getting all the little free trinkets at the ports when he was that age - charms at Diamonds International, bamboo necklaces at cariloha, etc.

On the ship - the playing cards are a hit for my kids, you should have a pen in your cabin, you should get a print if you go to an art auction. I think there was a t-shirt from the kids club.

Something I didn’t learn until I think second or third cruise was that the MDR is open for breakfast/brunch and is included free of charge.

Hi there,

Do they have it on every ship or only on Magic? Thanks

My girls would love the free deck of cards. Go Fish!!!

They won’t give those to anyone under 18, patents have to go twice ;)

To the best of my knowledge, free decks of cards are available on every ship. Just ask at the Guest Services Desk. Quantities are limited, so, as flounder315 said, go early, like on Embarkation Day.
