Drinks package -cost and how does this work - I think the website expalins it best but I am sure those who have enjoyed this package will have the best answers. The same with the soda package.

You may choose your Your Time Dining which is nice if you prefer to eat dinner when you want to based on your day's schedule or elect to a set time and seating.

 

Embarkation - is their a system in place

If you are in a suite you have early embarkation (after the Diamond and Platinum guests. There is also FTTF which has the perk of early embarkation/debarkation, priority tendering, use of the Diamond/Platnium guest services, and your cabin is ready when you board. I absoulutely love this!

 

Thank you in advance - Barbara

Well a hearty welcome to Carnival. All of your questions are answered in the faqs on the Carnival website. It's worth reading since it will answer questions you haven't thought of yet.

 

Go with the flow, enjoy, and watch for signs of addiction.

We don't get the drinks package as it wouldn't be a good deal for us, nor the soda package as we're fine with tea/lemonade/water).

 

Yes, you have a choice of dinner times....you will make this choice at the time of booking. There is early (around 6ish), late (around 9ish), or your time.

 

Embarkation--Each terminal is going to be different, so there will be some variations depending on where you sail from. But when you check in, you will be given an embarkation group number. You then wait for your group to be called, and they will collect this number from you as you start the boarding process.

You will be sailing out of Port Canaveral, which has a very efficient boarding/disembarkation system. We sailed out of PC on our first cruise as well as our most recent cruise and couldn't have asked for a smoother process. Enjoy :)
