Minor Guests?
Guests under the age of 21 years
must be accompanied by a parent, relative or guardian 25 years of
age or older in the same stateroom. The only exception to this policy
is when parents are traveling with their children in different cabins.
What About Towels?
Towels are supplied on deck by the pool, so
please don't bring any up from your stateroom.
Will I Get Seasick?
Seasickness is very rare on ships as large as
ours. All our ships are equipped with stabilizers which are designed to keep
them smooth and steady in the water. If you should feel queasy, medicine is
available from your cabin steward, the Information Desk or from the doctor.
Is There a Doctor on
Board?
Yes, a qualified physician and nurse from our
medical staff are on call 24 hours a day. Infirmary hours for medical
examinations can be found in your Carnival Capers. A professional fee will be
charged. If you should come down with a contagious disease, or even suspect a
contagious disease, it is compulsory that you report it to the ship's doctor for
the safety of everyone on board. Should you be on any medication, or want the
medical staff to be aware of any special needs, please contact our infirmary.
This will ensure they will be prepared should you need assistance. Our doctors
are independent contractors.
Medications?
Please carry your required medication in your
pocket or purse so that it will be available when needed. Checked luggage may
not be accessible at all times. If you're using any prescription drugs, vitamins
or other medication on a regular basis, you should bring an adequate supply with
you since these may not be readily available either aboard ship or in our ports
of call. Commonly used medications may be purchased at the office of the ship's
doctor.
What About Electrical
Appliances?
Bring them with you by all means. Aboard all
the "Fun Ships" the current in the staterooms is 110 volts AC and is
capable of handling all normal appliances such as electric razors, hair dryers
and hot curlers. However, some appliances may require use of an adapter.
Are There Baby-Sitters?
Yes. All baby-sitting takes place in the
Children's Playroom. When the ship is in port, we can provide baby-sitting
services from port arrival until 2 p.m. On all other days, babysitting is
offered in the form of a Pajama Party from 10 p.m to 3 a.m. For these services,
there is a charge of $5/hour for the first child in a family and $3/hour for
each additional child in the same immediate family. Children under the age of 2
years old are welcome to join in on the Pajama Party. Pillows, blankets and crib
are provided. If you need a baby-sitter, please inquire at the Information Desk
or see one of the "Camp Carnival" Youth Counselors at any of the
scheduled activities.
Where Is the Lost And
Found?
The Lost and Found is located at the
Information Desk. If you've lost anything, you should report the item to the
Information Desk and ask if it's turned up yet. If you find anything, please
turn it in there. After the ship returns to your port of origin, all found and
unclaimed articles will be sent to the company headquarters in Miami where they
can be claimed.
Tipping?
How much you tip is purely a personal matter
and completely up to you. However, we do have many guests who ask for some
guidelines in regard to what is appropriate. We suggest the following gratuities
for general information only. Gratuities are customarily given the last evening
of your cruise. If you have any further questions, the Purser or Cruise Director
will be glad to help you.
- Dining Room Waiter: $3.50 per person/per day
- Dining Room Busboy: $2.00 per person/per day
- Dining Room Maitre d': $0.35 per person/per day
- Dining Room Head Waiter: $0.15 per person/per day
- Room Steward: $3.50 per person/per day
Other personnel, such as Bar Waiters, Bellboys and Deck Stewards maybe tipped as
service is rendered. 15% of the bill is automatically added to Sail & Sign
beverage purchases which you may adjust appropriate to the service received.
Gratuities can be prepaid to Carnival at time of booking or anytime up to two
weeks prior to sailing. These guests will receive three gratuity coupons per
booking with their cruise documents: one for the Dining Room Waiter; one for the
Dining Room Busboy; and one for the Room Steward.
Photographic Experiences?
Remember to keep smiling! You never know when
the Ship's Photographer may take a candid picture of you. The photos will be on
display and are available for purchase. Special requests can be made by
appointment and are available for a fee. If you like taking your own pictures,
film for cameras are on sale in the duty-free shop. One-day developing service
is available on board ship. See the Photo Gallery Office for details. Please see
Photographic Experiences for more information.
Birthdays and
Anniversaries?
If you're going to celebrate a birthday or
wedding anniversary during your cruise, please let the Maitre d' know.
Religious
Services?
When available, a chaplain will be on board for Christmas, Palm Sunday and
Easter services.
What to Do With Your
Valuables?
We're sure you'll want to bring your camera,
jewelry and other valuable items with you on your cruise. However, since the
ship cannot accept responsibility for any articles left in the stateroom, public
areas or packed in your luggage, we suggest the use of a safety deposit box or
cabin safe. For your convenience and protection, safety deposit boxes are
available at the Information Desk.
Can I Bring a Radio on
Board?
You are welcome to bring radios and cassette
players for your private enjoyment. However, for the comfort of other guests, we
request that headphones or ear pieces be used in public areas.
