Does Carnival sell rain ponchos onboard?

[Littlegoo75]

We leave tomorrow, and I don't have time to run around after work today to go Poncho shopping. I would assume they sell them on board, but thought I would check. All of our destinations are calling for a chance of rain next week. Goody.

Academy has some for 99 cents by their camping stuff. Small enough package to fit in a purse or backpack if needed.

[Littlegoo75]

I was thinking Academy would, but I just don't know if I have time to run out there tonight after work. I should have thought about this last week.

[Littlegoo75]

Although, according to Murphy's Law, if I do run to Academy and buy some, it won't rain. If I wait, then it will rain and the ship will not sell them onboard.

yes..... $5.99

I have seen them for sale near the gangway on rainy days, but keep in mind there is almost always a chance of rain in the Caribbean. It's usually short lived.

As above. Your chance of rain might last a few minutes and then be done. I wouldn't stress the rain poncho, it will be HOT there....unless you are in Alaska.... who wants to wrap up in a plastic bag in hot humid conditions. :cool:

Walmart has them for $3 too. We packed a couple a few weeks ago. They pack small, and since we didn't need them, we have them for next cruise.

It was raining when we left the ship at one of our ports and they were selling ponchos at the gangway for $2. I believe they also sell them in the gift shop (and those might be sturdier). The $2 one did the job.

Thanks for the quick responses all! We might just wing it....we packed them for our last DisneyWorld trip, and we just preferred getting rained on then letting the sun dry us off. I hate the feeling of wearing a poncho and hate looking like a dork. All of our excursions involve getting wet anyway. Plus, we won't melt.

:p $1 @ dollar tree.

Yes, if it's raining they have them for sale right as you debark the ship in ports. They're blue and they are $3 a piece.

Mine have been packed for 6 cruises - keeps the rain away!

[robc1972]

Just pack an umbrella.

[nascarcruiser]

That reminds me I need to get some to have on hand.

This is on our must to pack list. DW hates getting wet. For me, I have a 100% dry guarantee. That means every time I am wet, I seem to get dry. So I don't worry about the rain!

If it's raining, I simply don't go out in it! Not a fan of getting rained on, or getting splashed. Really, tho, it depends where you're going...the Caribbean ALWAYS says rain is likely, because it is....it's the way weather works. Alaska....could be a chilly rain, and that's the kind I don't go out in!

Exactly. I have one in all my suitcases, they've been in there since our first cruise and never needed them - but I have them if I do!

They use to give those ponchos away at guest services if it was raining at the port of call.

Last time I tried to get one was on the Paradise last year. I was informed to see the guy at the bar across from Guest Services. He wanted six dollars for one of them . And he wanted cash only no cards of any kind.. Luckily I had a few of the old ones still in my luggage.

Ask the steward for a trash bag. Goes fine with rain, and you can dump it anywhere.

I bought some 4-5 cruises ago and never used them.but I think carnival has them.

You can buy them at Walmart for $3 - $4 or so.
