How to prepare for your Carnival cruise

We generally recommend that you book your flights direct with the airline of your choosing, but you can add them to your cruise package by following the link to the left. We strongly encourage that you fly to your cruise port city the day before you set sail. For return flights, we recommend nothing earlier than 12:00 noon because it takes time to disembark and get to the airport
You can begin booking shore excursions once your cruise deposit is paid. Follow the link to the left to check out the options, or you can find them in the app
You can view and check out the deck plans for your specific ship by following the link to the left
Please be sure you have all of the required travel documents for EACH person in your travel party. We highly recommend traveling with a valid passport for each person. Also, please be sure that passports will not expire within 6 months of the travel dates. You can view Carnival's information on travel documents by clicking the link to the left
