TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION – ALL GUESTS & PORTS
Proper travel documentation is required at embarkation and throughout the cruise. Even though a guest has completed registration using Online Check-in, it is still the responsibility of the guest to present the required travel documents at the time of embarkation. Guest should check with their travel agent and/or government authority to determine the travel documents necessary for each port of call. Any guest without proper documents will not be allowed to board the vessel and no refund of the cruise fare will be issued. Carnival assumes no responsibility for advising guests of proper travel documentation.

CRUISE TRAVEL

U.S. Citizens

Carnival highly recommends all guests travel with a passport. Although a passport is not required for U.S. citizens taking cruises that begin and end in the same U.S. port, travelling with a passport may help to expedite your CBP clearance upon return to the U.S. Additionally, passports are required in the event you need to fly from the U.S. to a foreign port should you miss your scheduled port of embarkation, or need to fly back to the U.S. for emergency reasons.
The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) allows U.S. citizens (including children) sailing on cruises that begin and end in the same U.S. port to travel with one of the WHTI compliant documents, listed below.

• Valid U.S. Passport
• Passport Card
• Original or suitable quality copy of a Birth Certificate (Issued by a government agency: state/county/city) and a government issued photo ID if 16 years of age and older.
• Original Certificate of Naturalization
• Trusted Traveler Program Membership Card, e.g., Nexus Card, Sentri Card or Fast Card
• Enhanced Tribal Card
• A Consular Report of Birth Abroad
• Enhanced Driver’s License (EDL) – only acceptable at land and sea ports of entry. Cannot be used for air travel outside the U.S. Please check if your state issues EDLs.

Copies of U.S. passports and naturalization papers, hospital and baptismal certificates are not WHTI compliant documents, therefore, are NOT acceptable.
Birth certificates from Puerto Rico issued prior to July 1, 2010 are not valid forms of proof of citizenship that is accepted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Guests from Puerto Rico either need to present a WHTI-compliant document or a government-issued photo identification with a validated birth certificate issued after July 1, 2010.
*If you need to obtain a passport quickly, Carnival recommends that you contact VisaCentral at www.visacentral.com/carnival or by phone: 1-866-788-1100. Callers should mention that they are sailing on Carnival to receive discounted service fees.
Photo IdentificationIn addition to proof of citizenship, a non-expired government-issued photo I.D is required of all guests 16 years of age and older. The following are acceptable:

• Driver’s License
• Driver’s Permit
• School/Student I.D (acceptable ONLY for guests under 19 years of age)
• Government-Issued identification card (city/state/federal)

Sailings from Hawaii and Transpacific Cruises

U.S. citizens must have a valid passport.

U.S. Alien Residents and Non-U.S. Citizens

U.S. Alien Residents require a valid Alien Resident Card and, in some cases, a passport (depending on itinerary) to travel on all Carnival cruises. Guest must check with their consulate, travel agent or appropriate government authority to determine if their nationality requires they also bring a passport along with their Alien Resident Card.
Non-U.S. citizens require a valid machine readable passport and a valid, unexpired U.S. Multiple Re-entry Visa, if applicable, to travel on all Carnival cruises. Guests are advised to check with their consulate, travel agent or appropriate government authority to determine the necessary documents.
Non-U.S. citizens that are eligible to apply for admission under the Visa Waiver Pilot Program, must still have a valid unexpired passport. U.S. State Department regulations require all guests traveling from visa-waiver countries be in possession of a machine-readable passport that includes a biometric identifier – e.g., embedded digital photograph. Otherwise, guests will be required to obtain a U.S. Multiple Re-entry Visa. Guests without proper identification may be refused boarding or entry into the United States.
On occasion, non-U.S. citizens and U.S. Alien Residents may be asked to surrender their passport and/or Alien Resident Card at time of embarkation. These documents will be returned upon completion of the Immigration inspection at the time of debarkation.

All Guests Traveling to Canada

U.S. Citizens require a valid passport or WHTI compliant documents.
Certain foreign nationalities will require a visa for sailings calling on Canada, in additional to other ports of call. This visa must be obtained prior to your cruise and will be checked at embarkation. All guests must check with their travel agent or the appropriate government authority to determine the necessary documents.

All Guest Traveling to Mexico

To debark for more than 24 hours in Mexico, guests must have obtained a Mexican Tourist Card from either a travel agent or a Mexican consulate prior to their departure.
If you are traveling with minor children without both parents/legal guardians and plan on terminating your cruise in Mexico; please Click Here for important information.

AIR TRAVEL
Valid passports are required for air travel to any port outside the U.S. This will impact all guests traveling by air to embark or debark in Vancouver for our Alaska or Hawaii cruises; and our Canadian guests that travel by air to or from any of our U.S. embarkation ports. This will also enable guests to fly from the U.S. to meet their ship at the first port should they miss their scheduled embarkation and allow guests that must debark the ship before their cruise ends to fly back to the U.S without significant delays and complications. Please note that in some cases, depending on itineraries, you may not be allowed to meet the ship at the next port of call if you miss the ship at the embarkation port.
Guest names on travel documents (passport, Alien Resident Card, birth certificate, etc.) must be identical to those on the cruise and airline tickets. Otherwise, proof of name change (e.g., a marriage license) with a valid driver’s license (or other government-issued photo ID) must be presented.

In the unlikely event of an emergency, this information will put us in a better position to help.

Carnival’s policy regarding guests who are pregnant:

While at sea or in port, the availability of medical care may be limited or delayed. Prenatal and early infant care in particular may require specialized diagnostic facilities and/or treatment that are not obtainable during the cruise on board the ship or ashore in ports of call. Pregnant women are not allow to cruise unless their estimated gestational age on the day of disembarkation is 24 completed weeks or less.

Pregnant women with an estimated gestational age of 24 completed weeks or less, on the day of disembarkation, must submit, prior to departure, a letter from her attending physician certifying that her gestational status is in accordance with this policy, and that the expecting mother is fit to sail.

Because the safety of the pregnant mother and unborn child is our number one concern, Carnival will not accept any agreement or recommendation from the Guest and/or her physician that the policy be waived.

Click here to print Carnival’s Pregnancy Certification Form.

Religious services will only be offered onboard if there are clergy sailing and wish to volunteer their services during their most holy days of Christmas, Easter, Passover, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

The A-PASS is a computerized system for tracking all persons, both guests and crew, who enter and exit the ship. Upon arrival at the ship, each guest is issued a boarding card (Sign & Sail) which they must swipe to be officially logged on to the ship. The system imbeds a full color, digital photograph together with personal database information on their boarding card. When an individual slides his or her card, a computer displays a corresponding photo with database information and merges time and date tracking information upon entry or exit. This system saves valuable time and effort for the Shipboard Security as they only have to verify the individuals’ photo and database information on the computer screen rather than having to physically match the guest with their photo ID and boarding card.

Note: This system has been implemented on all ships in our fleet.

Carnival requires guests to provide proper travel documentation in order to travel. The passport requirement does NOT apply to U.S. citizens traveling to or returning directly from a U.S. territory. Non-U.S Citizens must contact the appropriate Consulates, U.S. Embassy and U.S. Immigration office to inquire about necessary travel documentation. Carnival assumes no responsibility for advising guests of Immigration requirements.

It is recommended that all guests travel with a valid passport during their cruise. This will enable guests to fly from the U.S. to meet their ship at the first port should they miss their scheduled embarkation and allow guests that must disembark the ship before their cruise ends due to an emergency to fly back to the U.S without significant delays and complications. It is also recommended that all guests travel with a passport valid for at least 6 months beyond completion of travel.

*If you need to obtain a passport quickly, Carnival recommends that you contact VisaCentral at www.visacentral.com/carnival or by phone: 1-866-788-1100. Callers should mention that they are sailing on Carnival to receive discounted service fees.

For most excursions, there is no minimum age for children as long as they are accompanied by an adult. Unaccompanied guests must be 18 years of age or older. On some types of excursions, minimum age restrictions may apply and vary by excursion. Please see the specific excursion descriptions for details.

Rather than check in at the airport for the return flights, eligible guests may choose to participate for just a nominal fee of $20 USD per person. Guests will receive both their airline boarding passes and their luggage tags while they are enjoying their vacation at sea. Better yet, they will only need to place their checked luggage outside of their stateroom and will not touch it again until they claim it at their final destination.

• Only a maximum of two bags per guests can be checked-in.
• Applicable on most major domestic airlines – guest will need to check on board for participating airlines as airlines are subject to change.

• Applicable to:

  • U.S. Citizens and Canadian Citizens with proper travel documentation; if flying to Canada, a valid passport is required.
  • U.S Alien Residents with an Alien Registration Card.
  • International Guests with proper travel documentation traveling to a U.S airport or Canadian airport destination.
• Flight/s must be on a participating airline, departing from the airport on the same day of debarkation to a U.S airport or Canadian airport destination.

Early in the cruise, eligible guests receive an invitation in their stateroom to participate in the program. They complete the registration form and sign it to authorize a $20 USD per person charge to their Sail & Sign account and then drop it off at the Guest Services Desk. The day prior to debarkation, airline boarding passes, luggage tags along with a letter are delivered to the stateroom. Guests place the tags on the luggage that will be checked in and then place it outside their stateroom for collection. On debarkation day, participants may debark at their convenience.

The luggage will be transferred from the ship to the corresponding airline and flight. Guests must claim their bags upon flight arrival at their final destination. If there are any delays or problems with their luggage, guests need to contact the airline directly to report any problems.

Guests must be at least 18 years of age to reserve spa treatments online and receive treatments or utilize our spa facilities, including the sauna and steam rooms (within the locker rooms) and thermal suite access in Cloud 9 Spas.

Reservations made by underage guests are subject to cancellation. Once onboard the ship, you will have the opportunity to book a treatment from our ZSPA menu for teens, a selection of services for guests between the ages of 13-17 or simply ask the Spa Manager about other treatment options for younger guests.

Salon services are available to guests of all ages.

The Fitness Center and Studio is available to minor guests (12-17 years old) only when accompanied by an adult.

Please see restrictions posted outside the Fitness Center.

Claiming your luggage:

While onboard, you will be given numbered debarkation tags to place on your luggage. Please fill out the information on the back of the tag, and remember your zone number. When your zone is called, please proceed off the vessel to claim your luggage. It is easy to pick up the wrong bag, so check to make sure your name is on it. If your luggage is left at the pier, it will be forwarded to you at your expense. Claims for lost or damaged luggage must be made in writing with our debarkation personnel before you leave the pier area.

In order to maintain a safe and secure environment, Carnival prohibits guests from bringing certain items on board, i.e., weapons, candles, irons, alcohol, or other dangerous goods. According to our policy, Carnival conducts security scanning of all baggage and if prohibited items are found, they will be removed and stored on board for safekeeping until the end of the voyage. The retained item(s) will be available for collection in onboard designated location on the morning of debarkation. Unsealed liquids that are prohibited will be discarded, as well as any unclaimed items left after the voyage, and no compensation will be given in either case. For additional information, please refer to the terms and conditions of your cruise ticket contract.

We suggest all luggage be unlocked before turning over to the porters in order to avoid any inconvenience to you or delay in delivering the luggage to your stateroom. Should you choose not to unlock your bags and prohibited items are found during screening, your luggage will be retained until you can open it in front of security personnel.

Guests, 21 years of age and older, may bring one bottle (750ml) of wine or champagne, per person, only in their carry-on luggage.

Guests are encouraged to limit their checked luggage to two suitcases per person, with each suitcase not to weigh more than 50 pounds (22.68 Kilograms) and not exceed 16″H x 24″W (40.64 cm x 60.96 cm); there are no length restrictions. Please attach your Carnival Cruise Lines luggage tags PRIOR to leaving home and make sure that they are still on your bags when checking in with us. In many ports, guests have the option of carrying luggage on board at embarkation and off the ship at the end of the cruise as long as it does not exceed 16″H x 24″W (no length restrictions). This is an advantage you may want to consider as it will allow for quicker easier access to your bags. Please note that Carnival assumes no responsibility for carry-on luggage.

Alternatively, curbside porters are available at the pier to take luggage to the vessel for delivery to your stateroom by shipboard personnel. Customary tip is $1 per bag. Please be sure each piece of luggage is unlocked and has a tag listing your name and stateroom number. Curbside porters are not employees of Carnival; therefore, if you experience any problems, please report them to porter management on site. Any luggage left at the pier will be forwarded at your expense. Claims for luggage loss or damage must be made in writing to the debarkation personnel prior to leaving the pier area.

If you are traveling by air, we strongly recommend that you contact your air carrier to obtain their luggage allowance policy for the maximum number, size and weight of bags that each guest is allowed at no charge. Guests are responsible for luggage fees, excess luggage charges as well as any other charges imposed by air carriers or airports. We recommend that each guest verify with the airline representative that their luggage is checked-in to their final destination.

NOTE: There is limited porter service on 2/3-day Cruises-to-Nowhere.

LARGE COOLERS RESTRICTION:

Carnival Cruise Lines does not allow guests to bring large coolers on board its vessels. However small, personal-sized coolers, no larger than 12”H x 12”W x 12”L for the purpose of housing small quantities of non-alcoholic beverages and/or medications are permitted as carry-on luggage. Screening and movement of large coolers through embarkation is an impediment to the boarding and security screening process; therefore, large coolers are not permitted as carry-on or checked luggage.

DEBARKATION BAGGAGE ADVICE:

While on board, you will be given numbered debarkation tags to place on your luggage. Please fill out the information on the back of the tag and remember your zone number. When your zone is called, please proceed off the vessel to claim your luggage. It is easy to pick up the wrong bag, so check to make sure your name is on it. If your luggage is left at the pier, it will be forwarded to you at your expense. Claims for lost or damaged luggage must be made in writing with our debarkation personnel before you leave the pier area.

Carnival’s policy regarding guests who are pregnant:

While at sea or in port, the availability of medical care may be limited or delayed. Prenatal and early infant care in particular may require specialized diagnostic facilities and/or treatment that are not obtainable during the cruise on board the ship or ashore in ports of call. Pregnant women are not allow to cruise unless their estimated gestational age on the day of disembarkation is 24 completed weeks or less.

Pregnant women with an estimated gestational age of 24 completed weeks or less, on the day of disembarkation, must submit, prior to departure, a letter from her attending physician certifying that her gestational status is in accordance with this policy, and that the expecting mother is fit to sail.

Carnival’s policy is to group children together according to their age. Youth Program age policies are in place so that we can provide participants with age appropriate activities and so they can mingle with other minors of similar age. The age is determined according to the child’s birth date which is provided from documentation received at embarkation. The age groups are as follows: 2-5 Years, 6-8 Years, 9-11 Years, 12-14 Years and 15-17 Years. Children under the age of two have some times in which they can come into the program but are not allowed to participate in the regular activity program. There are no exceptions to this rule.

A child cannot be moved to another age group as it is a strict policy set by Carnival and cannot be deviated from, regardless of the situation, such as moving into a camp of different age range so the child can be with a family member. There are many times that the different age groups are together so that those families with children in separate groups can be accommodated.

Carnival reserves the right to change the groups’ age limits and to deny admission to a child for unruly behavior and/or the child’s or guardian’s violation of a Carnival or Youth Programs policy. Children under 2 years are not allowed to participate in the regular Camp Carnival Program. There are no exceptions to this rule.

Carnival Twister waterslides that run into a pool have a height requirement of 48” or 4 feet. This height is determined by the manufacturer for the safety of the guest using the equipment. (Elation; Paradise)

TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION – ALL GUESTS & PORTS

Proper travel documentation is required at embarkation and throughout the cruise. Even though a guest has completed registration using Online Check-in, it is still the responsibility of the guest to present the required travel documents at the time of embarkation. Guest should check with their travel agent and/or government authority to determine the travel documents necessary for each port of call. Any guest without proper documents will not be allowed to board the vessel and no refund of the cruise fare will be issued. Carnival assumes no responsibility for advising guests of proper travel documentation.

CRUISE TRAVEL

U.S. Citizens

Carnival highly recommends all guests travel with a passport. Although a passport is not required for U.S. citizens taking cruises that begin and end in the same U.S. port, travelling with a passport may help to expedite your CBP clearance upon return to the U.S. Additionally, passports are required in the event you need to fly from the U.S. to a foreign port should you miss your scheduled port of embarkation, or need to fly back to the U.S. for emergency reasons.

The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) allows U.S. citizens (including children) sailing on cruises that begin and end in the same U.S. port to travel with one of the WHTI compliant documents, listed below.

• Valid U.S. Passport
• Passport Card
• Original or suitable quality copy of a Birth Certificate (Issued by a government agency: state/county/city) and a government issued photo ID if 16 years of age and older.
• Original Certificate of Naturalization
• Trusted Traveler Program Membership Card, e.g., Nexus Card, Sentri Card or Fast Card
• Enhanced Tribal Card
• A Consular Report of Birth Abroad
• Enhanced Driver’s License (EDL) – only acceptable at land and sea ports of entry. Cannot be used for air travel outside the U.S. Please check if your state issues EDLs.

Copies of U.S. passports and naturalization papers, hospital and baptismal certificates are not WHTI compliant documents, therefore, are NOT acceptable.

Birth certificates from Puerto Rico issued prior to July 1, 2010 are not valid forms of proof of citizenship that is accepted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Guests from Puerto Rico either need to present a WHTI-compliant document or a government-issued photo identification with a validated birth certificate issued after July 1, 2010.

*If you need to obtain a passport quickly, Carnival recommends that you contact VisaCentral at www.visacentral.com/carnival or by phone: 1-866-788-1100. Callers should mention that they are sailing on Carnival to receive discounted service fees.

Photo Identification

In addition to proof of citizenship, a non-expired government-issued photo I.D is required of all guests 16 years of age and older. The following are acceptable:

• Driver’s License
• Driver’s Permit
• School/Student I.D (acceptable ONLY for guests under 19 years of age)
• Government-Issued identification card (city/state/federal)

Sailings from Hawaii and Transpacific Cruises

U.S. citizens must have a valid passport.

U.S. Alien Residents and Non-U.S. Citizens

U.S. Alien Residents require a valid Alien Resident Card and, in some cases, a passport (depending on itinerary) to travel on all Carnival cruises. Guest must check with their consulate, travel agent or appropriate government authority to determine if their nationality requires they also bring a passport along with their Alien Resident Card.

Non-U.S. citizens require a valid machine readable passport and a valid, unexpired U.S. Multiple Re-entry Visa, if applicable, to travel on all Carnival cruises. Guests are advised to check with their consulate, travel agent or appropriate government authority to determine the necessary documents.

Non-U.S. citizens that are eligible to apply for admission under the Visa Waiver Pilot Program, must still have a valid unexpired passport. U.S. State Department regulations require all guests traveling from visa-waiver countries be in possession of a machine-readable passport that includes a biometric identifier – e.g., embedded digital photograph. Otherwise, guests will be required to obtain a U.S. Multiple Re-entry Visa. Guests without proper identification may be refused boarding or entry into the United States.

On occasion, non-U.S. citizens and U.S. Alien Residents may be asked to surrender their passport and/or Alien Resident Card at time of embarkation. These documents will be returned upon completion of the Immigration inspection at the time of debarkation.

All Guests Traveling to Canada

U.S. Citizens require a valid passport or WHTI compliant documents.

Certain foreign nationalities will require a visa for sailings calling on Canada, in additional to other ports of call. This visa must be obtained prior to your cruise and will be checked at embarkation. All guests must check with their travel agent or the appropriate government authority to determine the necessary documents.

All Guest Traveling to Mexico

To debark for more than 24 hours in Mexico, guests must have obtained a Mexican Tourist Card from either a travel agent or a Mexican consulate prior to their departure.

If you are traveling with minor children without both parents/legal guardians and plan on terminating your cruise in Mexico; please Click Here for important information.

AIR TRAVEL

Valid passports are required for air travel to any port outside the U.S. This will impact all guests traveling by air to embark or debark in Vancouver for our Alaska or Hawaii cruises; and our Canadian guests that travel by air to or from any of our U.S. embarkation ports. This will also enable guests to fly from the U.S. to meet their ship at the first port should they miss their scheduled embarkation and allow guests that must debark the ship before their cruise ends to fly back to the U.S without significant delays and complications. Please note that in some cases, depending on itineraries, you may not be allowed to meet the ship at the next port of call if you miss the ship at the embarkation port.

Guest names on travel documents (passport, Alien Resident Card, birth certificate, etc.) must be identical to those on the cruise and airline tickets. Otherwise, proof of name change (e.g., a marriage license) with a valid driver’s license (or other government-issued photo ID) must be presented.

In the unlikely event of an emergency, this information will put us in a better position to help.

Carnival’s mobile travel alert service (not to exceed ten text messages) provides our guests with timely and important information or updates regarding their cruise. Alerts may include changes affecting your ship’s arrival and departure time on the day of embarkation. Carnival’s SMS message and alert service is available only to guests with US mobile numbers. For full disclosure of Carnival’s SMS message and alert service terms and conditions click here.

Airline Delays

Experienced travelers know that air travel schedules can be affected by a number of factors.

If the airline is unable to secure hotel accommodation, click here for the list of hotels that will offer a preferential rate. Please call prior to arrival at the hotel for reservations and identify yourself as a Carnival Guest.

Once you have reached the first port of call, proceed to the pier for embarkation. Notify the Information Desk immediately upon your arrival on board the ship. Fly Aweigh® Program guests should obtain a receipt for reimbursement of taxi fare.

Travel Alert – Non U.S. Citizens
Electronic System for Travel Authorization (E.S.T.A)

Effective January 12, 2009, all Visa Waiver Program (VWP) travelers will be required to have an electronic travel authorization via the Electronic System for Travel Authorization. (E.S.T.A). Homeland Security has developed a web-based system that determines the eligibility of visitors from Visa Waiver Program countries (VWP) to travel to the United States. Please note citizens of the following countries who are NOT U. S. Residents (ARC-“Green Card” holders) must fulfill this requirement or entry to the United States may be denied:

Travelers must enter information into the following secure website: https://www.travel.state.gov/visa/biometrics.html
The Office of Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) expects the ESTA website to be fully operational by October 15, 2008. The website will initially be available in English only but will soon be translated into several languages. The information required is similar to that already required on standard I-94W form currently in use. Travelers will receive real-time notification and the approval is stored in the electronic system for traveler’s convenience. Travelers may receive one of three responses:
Authorization Approved -> Travel Authorized
Authorization Pending -> Traveler must check again within 72 hours for final response
Travel Not Authorized -> Traveler must obtain a non-immigrant Visa at a U. S.
Embassy or Consulate before traveling to the United States

Beyond enhanced security, the benefits for travelers ensures the future of the Visa Waiver Program, requires no visits to consulates if approved, is currently free to use, provides a fast response time, allows for last minute travel and is good for a duration of two (2) years including multiple trips. We ask that you please print a copy of your Authorization Approval directly from the website so that you may present it at embarkation.

Biometric Passports for Visa Waiver Countries

Deadline: October 26, 2005

This regulation applies to all Visa Waiver Program countries.

All Visa Waiver Program countries will be required to begin issuing passports with biometric identifiers by October 26, 2005. A biometric identifier is an electronic scan of a physical feature, such as an eye, hand, fingerprint, or face. It allows an immigration inspector to know for certain that the person appearing before them is the same person to whom a passport (or visa) was issued. The initial deadline for beginning to issue biometric passports was extended by one year to October 26, 2005.

Question: Will I be required to have a biometric passport after October 26, 2005 in order to enter the United States?

Answer : Not if you have a valid, machine-readable passport that was issued prior to October 26, 2005. The new regulation applies only to new passports issued after October 26, 2005.

Question: Will all Visa Waiver Program countries be able to issue biometric passports by the October 26, 2005 deadline?

Answer: The U.S. travel industry is greatly concerned that the October 26, 2005 deadline for biometric passports is still not achievable for all countries. The industry will continue to work with the U.S. Congress to try and obtain a further extension of the deadline if that is absolutely necessary. It is by no means certain however that Congress will vote for an extension so countries issuing passports and the worldwide travel industry should operate on the assumption that the October 26, 2005 deadline will not change.

Carnival requires guests to provide proper travel documentation in order to travel. The passport requirement does NOT apply to U.S. citizens traveling to or returning directly from a U.S. territory.

Carnival assumes no responsibility for advising guests of Immigration requirements.

It is recommended that all guests travel with a valid passport during their cruise. This will enable guests to fly from the U.S. to meet their ship at the first port should they miss their scheduled embarkation and allow guests that must disembark the ship before their cruise ends due to an emergency to fly back to the U.S without significant delays and complications. It is also recommended that all guests travel with a passport valid for at least 6 months beyond completion of travel.

*If you need to obtain a passport quickly, Carnival recommends that you contact VisaCentral at www.visacentral.com/carnival or by phone: 1-866-788-1100. Callers should mention that they are sailing on Carnival to receive discounted service fees.

Carnival Magic’s Cucina del Capitano

Cucina del Capitano, “The Captain’s Kitchen”, is a homage to Carnival’s rich Italian lineage. All of the Carnival captains are Italian and many Carnival ships, including the Carnival Magic are built in Italy.

Cucina del Capitano is a delicious dinner-time option with made-to-order Italian favorites in comfortable, relaxed surroundings. Guests can dine on hand-made pastas, risotto and fresh-from-the-oven Italian specialties, many served family style and complemented by a wine list specializing in Italian vintages. Many of the dishes and recipes were hand-selected by Carnival’s captains.

Framed archival photographs, many from the captains’ personal collections, table arrangements that invite conversation, wood-beam ceilings and ornate wrought ironwork recreate the ambiance of a cozy Italian home, while warm, attentive service makes diners feel like they are part of the family. Truly an unforgettable dining experience.

Cucina del Capitano is an alternative to eating in the Main Dining Room or the Lido Restaurant, open daily for dinner.

There is a nominal per-guest fee, which includes the entire meal, except for any beverage that is normally ordered through the bar service (like beer, wine, liquor, soda and bottled water).

Main Dining Rooms

Guests dining in the two main dining rooms will have their choice of six different appetizers and soups, two salads and six entrees each night. Also, Carnival Classics selections, including char-broiled steak, grilled chicken and pasta dishes, along with a decadent dessert menu offering six different selections, including the cruise industry’s most popular dessert — the Warm Chocolate Melting Cake — will be offered nightly.

For those seeking more health-conscious cuisine, dining room menus feature Spa Carnival Fare selections, delicious, guilt-free items that are lower in calories, cholesterol, sodium and fat content. Vegetarian choices and children’s menus are available, as well.

Reservations are recommended ahead of time but guests are welcome to go to the Steakhouse and be seated as per availability.

Steakhouse reservations can be requested prior to your cruise on carnival.com. Just login/register or access your booking by clicking here.

The Group Event Planning Department can assist guests booked through the Groups Department that would like to make advance Steakhouse Reservations. A minimum of 11 guests is required. Contact the Group Event Planning Department at [email protected].

Dinner has those same options but some ships also have a reservations-only supper club. You will select a set dining time for your group and also choose the tables your group will use for the duration of the cruise. Attendees have the options of dining together at these table for all meals, or if they choose they can partake in the other dining options. Many of our guests tend to dine together in their assigned dining room for dinner, choosing casual dining for other meals (breakfast and lunch) so they can enjoy ports-of-call or the other options available on board.

At this time our reservation system is not designed to take table size request. Please note that all dining assignments are processed by the Maitre’d prior to embarkation. While they will try their best to accommodate any special requests made on board, this cannot be guaranteed.

Dining assignment will remain the same for the duration of the cruise unless the guest is confirmed for “Your Time Dining”.

Carnival Magic’s Cucina del Capitano

Cucina del Capitano, “The Captain’s Kitchen”, is a homage to Carnival’s rich Italian lineage. All of the Carnival captains are Italian and many Carnival ships, including the Carnival Magic are built in Italy.

Cucina del Capitano is a delicious dinner-time option with made-to-order Italian favorites in comfortable, relaxed surroundings. Guests can dine on hand-made pastas, risotto and fresh-from-the-oven Italian specialties, many served family style and complemented by a wine list specializing in Italian vintages. Many of the dishes and recipes were hand-selected by Carnival’s captains.

Framed archival photographs, many from the captains’ personal collections, table arrangements that invite conversation, wood-beam ceilings and ornate wrought ironwork recreate the ambiance of a cozy Italian home, while warm, attentive service makes diners feel like they are part of the family. Truly an unforgettable dining experience.

Cucina del Capitano is an alternative to eating in the Main Dining Room or the Lido Restaurant, open daily for dinner.

There is a nominal per-guest fee, which includes the entire meal, except for any beverage that is normally ordered through the bar service (like beer, wine, liquor, soda and bottled water).

You will be required to sign a Medical Waiver/Liability Release form on board prior to your shore excursion. If you have any medical conditions that may affect your ability to participate safely in the diving excursion, please contact the Shore Excursion Department at [email protected] prior to booking your excursion.

Neither Carnival nor the tour operator can guarantee that you will see wildlife. Tour operators make every effort to fulfill an excursion’s description. However, weather, time of season, and other factors beyond our control can affect wildlife sightings and scenic views.

One of the major advantages of participating in shore excursions sold through Carnival is that we closely monitor the excursion departures and returns. Therefore, we can assure you that even if there are unexpected delays on an excursion, your ship will be there when you return. Please be aware that if you make your own arrangements, or leave an organized excursion, you will be on your own and it will be up to you to make sure you return to your ship on time.

Standards of transportation vary considerably throughout the world. Air-conditioned equipment is requested, but is not always available. In some cases, the transportation used will be open-air safari buses, mini-vans, taxis or otherwise noted.

Guests wishing to travel with friends should all leave the ship together, as this will help the shore excursion staff allocate sufficient space in the same vehicle wherever possible.

Please note that motor coaches and other forms of transportation may require guests to climb 2 to 3 steps. Most, but not all motor coaches, can accommodate collapsible wheelchairs. Staff is not obligated to lift guests into or out of vehicles. Tendering may prevent guests in wheelchairs from going ashore at certain ports of call. For further information about specific excursions’ transportation accessibility, please look for the accessibility advisories online, represented by a blue wheelchair icon or see the Shore Excursion Manager onboard.

Yes. Many of our excursions are only a few hours in duration, leaving you with plenty of time in most ports for shopping, sightseeing or even participating in another excursion. Also, many of our longer excursions include a shopping stop.

The Federal Aviation Administration requires guests’ weights and names for weight and balance calculations as well as flight manifesting. Any guest whose weight is 250 pounds or more will be required to purchase a seat and a half. You must purchase the specific helicopter excursion for guests over 250 pounds or you will be refused service. Once onboard you may see the Shore Excursion Manager for assistance.

As a reminder to our guests, kindly be advised that passport, visa and inoculation regulations may vary by destination and change from time to time. It is the sole responsibility of the guest to obtain and have available when necessary the appropriate valid travel and health documents such as passports, visas, vaccination certificates, etc., that are necessary for air travel, debarkation at the various ports of call and re-entry into the appropriate country of origin. We recommend that you visit your nearest consulate office or relevant web site for appropriate requirements.

If you are having trouble with your order or payment, please contact the eSolutions Desk. They are available Monday through Friday from 9am to 11pm (EST), and Saturdays and Sundays from 9am to 8pm (EST). You may contact them by calling 1-800-845-2599 or by email at [email protected].

If you have an operational question about an excursion or you need additional information, please send an e-mail to [email protected]. Every effort will be made to provide you with feedback within 48-72 hours, with those queries requiring additional specific research possibly taking longer. Please be sure to include your ship and sail date in the subject line. And be sure to include any other specific information such as port name and exact excursion name in all correspondence.

For assistance with this website, or to report an issue of a technical nature, please contact the eSolutions Desk. They are available Monday through Friday from 9am to 11pm (EST), and Saturdays and Sundays from 9am to 8pm (EST). You may contact them by calling 1-800-845-2599 or by email at [email protected].

While browsing the site, you are able to view details for all shore excursions within a destination and port regardless of ship or itinerary. You are only able to purchase shore excursions that are offered for the specific itinerary you have booked.

Yes, depending on the length of each applicable shore excursion relative to the amount of time the ships stay in port. Make sure that you allow at least 30 minutes between each excursion.

It depends on the climate of the port. Given the warm climate and the more rustic conditions in the Caribbean and Central America, we strongly suggest that you wear light, casual clothing and comfortable, low-heeled walking shoes or sneakers. For any brief tropical showers you may encounter, you might want to bring a fold-up umbrella and a light jacket. We have placed a symbol next to the water-related excursion descriptions, for which we suggest you wear your bathing suit, cover-up and hat. Also, remember to bring sunscreen, a towel and a camera and to leave your valuables onboard, in your staterooms. For all golf excursions, collared shirts and either long pants or Bermuda-style shorts (no cut-offs, bathing suits, etc.) are required.

Given the fluctuating climate in Alaska, Canada, and New England, we strongly suggest you dress in layers – a shirt, sweater and light raincoat will do. This allows you to add or remove layers as needed. Wear comfortable, low-heeled walking shoes or sneakers, or sturdier shoes for activities such as hiking. You might want to bring a fold-up umbrella and a light jacket in your carry on.

Note: Cancellations due to weather are the determination of the tour operator only. See specific questions related to shore excursion cancellations.

Tipping is a discretionary matter. However, it is customary around the world, if you are pleased with their excursion, to tip the tour guide. A general rule of thumb is one dollar per person for a half-day excursion and two dollars per person for a full-day excursion.

If you have existing shore excursion orders and you change either ship or sail date, all shore excursion orders for your canceled cruise booking will automatically cancel and any payments will be refunded to the credit card used to pay for the shore excursion order. Please allow 3-5 business days for the credit to post to your account.

You will need to re-book shore excursions for your new ship and/or sail date by repeating the order process using your new cruise booking number. Keep in mind that new shore excursion bookings cannot be made online after the cut-off date for the new sailing. If you are within the cut-off window for the new sailing, you must purchase shore excursions once onboard. You will find a detailed listing of all available excursions for your cruise, along with a shore excursion order form and instructions on how to book excursions onboard. Some of our ships offer an interactive television system, which allows you to book your excursions from the convenience of your stateroom.

You can always browse shore excursions online at techspo.co This will help you decide which of our exciting destinations you would like to visit. However, to make a shore excursion booking, you must first book a cruise and meet all deposit requirements for each of the guests for which you are booking shore excursions. At this point, you should receive your cruise booking number. If you have done so and still do not have a cruise booking number, please contact your Travel Agent or whoever assisted you with your cruise booking.

Certain excursions have minimum guest participation requirements and shore excursions may be cancelled or modified depending on the number of guests participating. In the event of cancellation or modification of an excursion, best efforts will be made to provide advance notice. Shore excursions may be cancelled by Carnival or the Tour Operator due to inclement weather conditions, or any other reason whatsoever. Full refunds will be made to guests who purchased excursions which get cancelled. If the shore excursions are cancelled prior to the sailing, you will receive a refund directly to the credit card used to pay for the shore excursion order. If the shore excursions are cancelled while onboard, the amount of the refund will be credited to your shipboard account.

An open-water scuba certification must be presented in order to participate in a certified dive excursion. Some dive operators will refuse to take divers who cannot provide proof of the date of their last dive or scuba review course. We recommend you bring a logbook or proof that you have recently completed a review course. If you are restricted from participating in a Certified Dive excursion, for lack of documentation, please see the Shore Excursion Manager onboard for alternatives.

There are certain medical conditions that may prevent your participation in a Beginner’s Scuba Diving excursion. You must complete the medical history form and the liability waiver/release form that will be provided either onboard, or by the tour operator at the beginning of the excursion.

There are several medical conditions that may prevent you from safely participating in a Certified Dive excursion. Having any of the following conditions would require that you are examined by a qualified physician and obtain written permission from that physician to participate in the excursion:

Heart disease or previous heart attack, diabetes, epilepsy or seizures, high blood pressure or taking medicine to control blood pressure, presently taking prescription medicines (with the exception of birth control), pregnancy, asthma or any form of lung disease, recent surgery, blackouts, sinus problems, fear of closed spaces, recurring migraine headaches, recurrent ear problems, and severe motion sickness.

Keep in mind that this is not a comprehensive list. For more information you should consult your physician.

Yes. There are certain medical conditions that may prevent your participation in a Beginner’s Scuba Diving or a Snuba excursion. You must complete the medical history form and the liability waiver/release form that will be provided either onboard, or by the tour operator at the beginning of the excursion.

Yes. Some excursions offer children’s prices for ages 4 through 12 and teen prices for children 13 through 18. Infants ages 3 and younger sitting on a parent’s lap and therefore not occupying a seat, are not charged for most shore excursions. These excursions are indicated with the “Infants Free” advisory. There are also some shore excursions that require that each guest purchase a ticket, regardless of age. This will be noted in the specific shore excursion’s description. If a parent would like their infant to occupy a seat, where it is not required, then the parent must purchase an excursion ticket for the infant at the published excursion price or child price, where available. Parents are also responsible for bringing a safety seat for their child if required.

No. All of the shore excursions, including any related transportation, are operated by local independent companies and they are solely responsible for their products, excursions and any related transportation. We try to choose the most reputable companies available to provide your excursions. Carnival is not responsible for any losses, damage, death, injuries or claims whatsoever arising from, connected with, or related to any activities engaged in by guests while off of Carnival’s ships or tenders in any port of call. This includes all shore excursions, whether sold onboard or by third parties ashore. You will engage in all such activities off of the ship at your own risk.

Carnival neither supervises nor controls tour operators actions, nor makes any representation either expressed or implied as to their suitability. Carnival sells tickets for all excursions as a convenience to guests only. Tour operators, transportation providers, and their employees are neither agents nor employees of Carnival, not withstanding their use of any signage or clothing which may contain the name “Carnival” or other related trade names or logos.

When the ship is in port, the meal times are sometimes adjusted to accommodate the departure and return times of shore excursions booked through Carnival. On most ships, alternative dining is available so guests participating in shore excursions can dine at their convenience.

When booking a morning excursion and an afternoon excursion together, you should allow a minimum of one hour, rather than the suggested 30 minutes, in between excursions to enjoy a quick buffet lunch onboard. If the port requires tendering, you will need additional time for the transfer to and from shore side.

It depends on the type and degree of the disability. In general, if guests are able to walk on their own, we recommend those excursions that are designated as easy or moderate activity. See specific excursion activity level icons.

If guests are non-ambulatory, we generally recommend independent transportation for their comfort and convenience. Our shore excursion staff can provide them with excursion suggestions. We also recommend that non-ambulatory guests be accompanied by someone who is able to assist them throughout the duration of the excursion. Some ports of call require tenders to go ashore, and that may preclude non-ambulatory guests from leaving the vessel

Pre-paid shore excursion tickets will be delivered to your stateroom after sailing on the first evening of your cruise.

Check back often. Unfortunately, it does happen that some of the more popular shore excursions will sell out. However, cancellations may occur from time to time. We recommend that you book all shore excursions as early as possible after booking your cruise and meeting all deposit requirements for each of the guests you are booking shore excursions. If an excursion is not available, you may want to search for alternate excursions within the same activity type or see the Shore Excursion Manager onboard to check for last minute cancellations. The option to wait list an excursion is not available at this time.

Unfortunately, we no longer have access to any shore excursion orders after the 1 day cut-off date. Keep in mind that you will have up until 1 days prior to your sailing, unless otherwise noted in the excursion description, to make new shore excursion bookings, cancel all or part of existing shore excursion orders or change the designated contact person. In order to make any change to your shore excursion orders after the cut-off date, you will need to see the Shore Excursion Manager once you are onboard the ship. In the event of a cruise booking cancellation within the cut-off window, a full refund will automatically be posted to the credit card used to pay for the order.

You can visit techspo.co and browse through the shore excursions section online. Here you will find detailed information regarding the various shore excursions that may be offered at the destinations and ports your cruise visits. If you have a valid booking number, have met all deposit requirements for each guest you will be booking shore excursions for, but not yet within 3 days prior to your sailing, you may book online. Some excursions have a limited capacity so booking early may ensure that the excursions you want are available.

Upon boarding your ship, you will find a detailed listing of all available excursions for your cruise. You will also receive a shore excursion order form — listing all of the prices, departure times and meeting places for each excursion — as well as instructions on how to book these excursions onboard. Some of our ships offer an interactive television system, which allows you to book your excursions from the convenience of your stateroom.

You are not obligated to book shore excursions through Carnival in order to leave the ship. Public transportation is available at each port. We suggest you visit your local library, bookstore or a pertinent web site to determine where you would like to go.

Carnival does not offer any alternatives from the established shore excursion program. All shore excursions sold through Carnival are coordinated with reputable tour operators and include all the most popular sites of interest.

One of the many benefits of booking excursions through Carnival is a guarantee that the ship will remain in port until all guests are back onboard. Carnival will not be aware of shore excursions that are booked independently. Also, keep in mind that some ports have visa requirements that may prevent you from venturing off on your own.

Yes, in many ports of call, shore excursions have been designed for guests with late flights. You will see these listed under your debarkation port name. Please verify your flight time prior to booking this type of shore excursion.

For most excursions, there is no minimum age for children as long as they are accompanied by an adult. Unaccompanied guests must be 18 years of age or older. On some types of excursions, minimum age restrictions may apply and vary by excursion. Please see the specific excursion descriptions for details.

Carnival’s “BEHIND THE FUN” Tour

Unique Insight into the Line’s Shipboard Operations

For those who want an insider’s look at the inner-workings of a Carnival “Fun Ship,” we’ve created Behind the Fun, a guided tour that provides guests with a unique insight into Carnival’s shipboard operations.

Behind the Fun is offered fleetwide. On cruises 6 days or longer, a 3.5-hour tour offers participants an extensive behind-the-scenes look at a wide range of shipboard venues that are normally off limits to guests. During the tour, key shipboard personnel, including the captain, chief engineer, chef de cuisine and other department heads, share their vast knowledge in their particular area of expertise. (On 3, 4 or 5 day cruises, a shortened version of the tour may be offered, running approximately 2 hours.)

Behind the Fun begins with a stop backstage in the main show lounge where participants can see exactly what goes into creating Carnival’s award-winning revues. The tour then moves on to normally restricted areas such as the laundry room, crew galley and dining room, crew gym and crew training center.

Next it’s on to the expansive main galley where talented culinary artists prepare upwards of 12,000 meals and snacks per day for Carnival’s guests. The tour also includes a visit to the ship’s bridge and engine control room, and informative Q&A sessions with the captain and chief engineer, respectively.

In addition to a comprehensive overview of Carnival’s shipboard operations, Behind the Fun participants receive a number of commemorative gifts, including a custom-made Behind the Fun baseball cap and lanyard, and even complimentary photos with the captain on the bridge.

Behind the Fun tours can only be booked onboard, through the ships’ Shore Excursion Desk. The cost is $95 USD per person and capacity is limited to 16 guests per tour. Guests must be 8 years old or older to participate; anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

General Information

• Tours are conducted on the last sea day of each cruise.
• Guests are not permitted to have cameras, cell phones or video recording equipment on the tour.
• Guests must be 8 or older to participate; anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
• The tour is approximately 3.5 hours for cruises 6 days or longer, with shorter versions possible, approximately 2 hours, for 3, 4 or 5 day cruises.
• The tour can only be purchased during your cruise through the Shore Excursion Desk, please stop by once onboard for specific date/time and exact pricing.

Make sure your group gets the most out of their cruise with Group Shore Excursions. Pre-paid Group Shore Excursions can be arranged for groups of eight cabins or more booked through the Groups Department (minimum 16 guests pre – paid on any one give tour). You may contact us after your group has finalized but no later than 30 days prior to sailing. For more information regarding a Pre-paid Group Shore Excursion, please contact our Group Event Planning Department via email at [email protected].

If you have an operational question about an excursion or you need additional information, please send an e-mail to [email protected]. Every effort will be made to provide you with feedback within 48-72 hours, with those queries requiring additional specific research possibly taking longer. Please be sure to include your ship and sail date in the subject line. And be sure to include any other specific information such as port name and exact excursion name in all correspondence.

While browsing the site, you are able to view details for all shore excursions within a destination and port regardless of ship or itinerary. You are only able to purchase shore excursions that are offered for the specific itinerary you have booked.

Yes, depending on the length of each applicable shore excursion relative to the amount of time the ships stay in port. Make sure that you allow at least 30 minutes between each excursion.

It depends on the climate of the port. Given the warm climate and the more rustic conditions in the Caribbean and Central America, we strongly suggest that you wear light, casual clothing and comfortable, low-heeled walking shoes or sneakers. For any brief tropical showers you may encounter, you might want to bring a fold-up umbrella and a light jacket. We have placed a symbol next to the water-related excursion descriptions, for which we suggest you wear your bathing suit, cover-up and hat. Also, remember to bring sunscreen, a towel and a camera and to leave your valuables onboard, in your staterooms. For all golf excursions, collared shirts and either long pants or Bermuda-style shorts (no cut-offs, bathing suits, etc.) are required.

Given the fluctuating climate in Alaska, Canada, and New England, we strongly suggest you dress in layers – a shirt, sweater and light raincoat will do. This allows you to add or remove layers as needed. Wear comfortable, low-heeled walking shoes or sneakers, or sturdier shoes for activities such as hiking. You might want to bring a fold-up umbrella and a light jacket in your carry on.

Note: Cancellations due to weather are the determination of the tour operator only. See specific questions related to shore excursion cancellations.

Tipping is a discretionary matter. However, it is customary around the world, if you are pleased with their excursion, to tip the tour guide. A general rule of thumb is one dollar per person for a half-day excursion and two dollars per person for a full-day excursion.

If you have existing shore excursion orders and you change either ship or sail date, all shore excursion orders for your canceled cruise booking will automatically cancel and any payments will be refunded to the credit card used to pay for the shore excursion order. Please allow 3-5 business days for the credit to post to your account.

You will need to re-book shore excursions for your new ship and/or sail date by repeating the order process using your new cruise booking number. Keep in mind that new shore excursion bookings cannot be made online after the cut-off date for the new sailing. If you are within the cut-off window for the new sailing, you must purchase shore excursions once onboard. You will find a detailed listing of all available excursions for your cruise, along with a shore excursion order form and instructions on how to book excursions onboard. Some of our ships offer an interactive television system, which allows you to book your excursions from the convenience of your stateroom.

You can always browse shore excursions online at techspo.co This will help you decide which of our exciting destinations you would like to visit. However, to make a shore excursion booking, you must first book a cruise and meet all deposit requirements for each of the guests for which you are booking shore excursions. At this point, you should receive your cruise booking number. If you have done so and still do not have a cruise booking number, please contact your Travel Agent or whoever assisted you with your cruise booking.

Certain excursions have minimum guest participation requirements and shore excursions may be cancelled or modified depending on the number of guests participating. In the event of cancellation or modification of an excursion, best efforts will be made to provide advance notice. Shore excursions may be cancelled by Carnival or the Tour Operator due to inclement weather conditions, or any other reason whatsoever. Full refunds will be made to guests who purchased excursions which get cancelled. If the shore excursions are cancelled prior to the sailing, you will receive a refund directly to the credit card used to pay for the shore excursion order. If the shore excursions are cancelled while onboard, the amount of the refund will be credited to your shipboard account.

An open-water scuba certification must be presented in order to participate in a certified dive excursion. Some dive operators will refuse to take divers who cannot provide proof of the date of their last dive or scuba review course. We recommend you bring a logbook or proof that you have recently completed a review course. If you are restricted from participating in a Certified Dive excursion, for lack of documentation, please see the Shore Excursion Manager onboard for alternatives.

There are certain medical conditions that may prevent your participation in a Beginner’s Scuba Diving excursion. You must complete the medical history form and the liability waiver/release form that will be provided either onboard, or by the tour operator at the beginning of the excursion.

There are several medical conditions that may prevent you from safely participating in a Certified Dive excursion. Having any of the following conditions would require that you are examined by a qualified physician and obtain written permission from that physician to participate in the excursion:

Heart disease or previous heart attack, diabetes, epilepsy or seizures, high blood pressure or taking medicine to control blood pressure, presently taking prescription medicines (with the exception of birth control), pregnancy, asthma or any form of lung disease, recent surgery, blackouts, sinus problems, fear of closed spaces, recurring migraine headaches, recurrent ear problems, and severe motion sickness.

Keep in mind that this is not a comprehensive list. For more information you should consult your physician.

Yes. There are certain medical conditions that may prevent your participation in a Beginner’s Scuba Diving or a Snuba excursion. You must complete the medical history form and the liability waiver/release form that will be provided either onboard, or by the tour operator at the beginning of the excursion.

Yes. Some excursions offer children’s prices for ages 4 through 12 and teen prices for children 13 through 18. Infants ages 3 and younger sitting on a parent’s lap and therefore not occupying a seat, are not charged for most shore excursions. These excursions are indicated with the “Infants Free” advisory. There are also some shore excursions that require that each guest purchase a ticket, regardless of age. This will be noted in the specific shore excursion’s description. If a parent would like their infant to occupy a seat, where it is not required, then the parent must purchase an excursion ticket for the infant at the published excursion price or child price, where available. Parents are also responsible for bringing a safety seat for their child if required.

No. All of the shore excursions, including any related transportation, are operated by local independent companies and they are solely responsible for their products, excursions and any related transportation. We try to choose the most reputable companies available to provide your excursions. Carnival is not responsible for any losses, damage, death, injuries or claims whatsoever arising from, connected with, or related to any activities engaged in by guests while off of Carnival’s ships or tenders in any port of call. This includes all shore excursions, whether sold onboard or by third parties ashore. You will engage in all such activities off of the ship at your own risk.

Carnival neither supervises nor controls tour operators actions, nor makes any representation either expressed or implied as to their suitability. Carnival sells tickets for all excursions as a convenience to guests only. Tour operators, transportation providers, and their employees are neither agents nor employees of Carnival, not withstanding their use of any signage or clothing which may contain the name “Carnival” or other related trade names or logos.

When the ship is in port, the meal times are sometimes adjusted to accommodate the departure and return times of shore excursions booked through Carnival. On most ships, alternative dining is available so guests participating in shore excursions can dine at their convenience.

When booking a morning excursion and an afternoon excursion together, you should allow a minimum of one hour, rather than the suggested 30 minutes, in between excursions to enjoy a quick buffet lunch onboard. If the port requires tendering, you will need additional time for the transfer to and from shore side.

It depends on the type and degree of the disability. In general, if guests are able to walk on their own, we recommend those excursions that are designated as easy or moderate activity. See specific excursion activity level icons.

If guests are non-ambulatory, we generally recommend independent transportation for their comfort and convenience. Our shore excursion staff can provide them with excursion suggestions. We also recommend that non-ambulatory guests be accompanied by someone who is able to assist them throughout the duration of the excursion. Some ports of call require tenders to go ashore, and that may preclude non-ambulatory guests from leaving the vessel

Pre-paid shore excursion tickets will be delivered to your stateroom after sailing on the first evening of your cruise.

Check back often. Unfortunately, it does happen that some of the more popular shore excursions will sell out. However, cancellations may occur from time to time. We recommend that you book all shore excursions as early as possible after booking your cruise and meeting all deposit requirements for each of the guests you are booking shore excursions. If an excursion is not available, you may want to search for alternate excursions within the same activity type or see the Shore Excursion Manager onboard to check for last minute cancellations. The option to wait list an excursion is not available at this time.

Unfortunately, we no longer have access to any shore excursion orders after the 1 day cut-off date. Keep in mind that you will have up until 1 days prior to your sailing, unless otherwise noted in the excursion description, to make new shore excursion bookings, cancel all or part of existing shore excursion orders or change the designated contact person. In order to make any change to your shore excursion orders after the cut-off date, you will need to see the Shore Excursion Manager once you are onboard the ship. In the event of a cruise booking cancellation within the cut-off window, a full refund will automatically be posted to the credit card used to pay for the order.

You can visit techspo.co and browse through the shore excursions section online. Here you will find detailed information regarding the various shore excursions that may be offered at the destinations and ports your cruise visits. If you have a valid booking number, have met all deposit requirements for each guest you will be booking shore excursions for, but not yet within 3 days prior to your sailing, you may book online. Some excursions have a limited capacity so booking early may ensure that the excursions you want are available.

Upon boarding your ship, you will find a detailed listing of all available excursions for your cruise. You will also receive a shore excursion order form — listing all of the prices, departure times and meeting places for each excursion — as well as instructions on how to book these excursions onboard. Some of our ships offer an interactive television system, which allows you to book your excursions from the convenience of your stateroom.

You are not obligated to book shore excursions through Carnival in order to leave the ship. Public transportation is available at each port. We suggest you visit your local library, bookstore or a pertinent web site to determine where you would like to go.

Carnival does not offer any alternatives from the established shore excursion program. All shore excursions sold through Carnival are coordinated with reputable tour operators and include all the most popular sites of interest.

One of the many benefits of booking excursions through Carnival is a guarantee that the ship will remain in port until all guests are back onboard. Carnival will not be aware of shore excursions that are booked independently. Also, keep in mind that some ports have visa requirements that may prevent you from venturing off on your own.

Yes, in many ports of call, shore excursions have been designed for guests with late flights. You will see these listed under your debarkation port name. Please verify your flight time prior to booking this type of shore excursion.

For most excursions, there is no minimum age for children as long as they are accompanied by an adult. Unaccompanied guests must be 18 years of age or older. On some types of excursions, minimum age restrictions may apply and vary by excursion. Please see the specific excursion descriptions for details.

Carnival’s “BEHIND THE FUN” Tour

Unique Insight into the Line’s Shipboard Operations

For those who want an insider’s look at the inner-workings of a Carnival “Fun Ship,” we’ve created Behind the Fun, a guided tour that provides guests with a unique insight into Carnival’s shipboard operations.

Behind the Fun is offered fleetwide. On cruises 6 days or longer, a 3.5-hour tour offers participants an extensive behind-the-scenes look at a wide range of shipboard venues that are normally off limits to guests. During the tour, key shipboard personnel, including the captain, chief engineer, chef de cuisine and other department heads, share their vast knowledge in their particular area of expertise. (On 3, 4 or 5 day cruises, a shortened version of the tour may be offered, running approximately 2 hours.)

Behind the Fun begins with a stop backstage in the main show lounge where participants can see exactly what goes into creating Carnival’s award-winning revues. The tour then moves on to normally restricted areas such as the laundry room, crew galley and dining room, crew gym and crew training center.

Next it’s on to the expansive main galley where talented culinary artists prepare upwards of 12,000 meals and snacks per day for Carnival’s guests. The tour also includes a visit to the ship’s bridge and engine control room, and informative Q&A sessions with the captain and chief engineer, respectively.

In addition to a comprehensive overview of Carnival’s shipboard operations, Behind the Fun participants receive a number of commemorative gifts, including a custom-made Behind the Fun baseball cap and lanyard, and even complimentary photos with the captain on the bridge.

Behind the Fun tours can only be booked onboard, through the ships’ Shore Excursion Desk. The cost is $95 USD per person and capacity is limited to 16 guests per tour. Guests must be 8 years old or older to participate; anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

General Information

• Tours are conducted on the last sea day of each cruise.
• Guests are not permitted to have cameras, cell phones or video recording equipment on the tour.
• Guests must be 8 or older to participate; anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
• The tour is approximately 3.5 hours for cruises 6 days or longer, with shorter versions possible, approximately 2 hours, for 3, 4 or 5 day cruises.
• The tour can only be purchased during your cruise through the Shore Excursion Desk, please stop by once onboard for specific date/time and exact pricing.

Dining preferences (early or late; traveling companions) can be requested by the travel agent or guest at the time of booking. No requests are guaranteed and all are subject to availability. By popular request, all dining rooms are smoke-free.

Table size, the table number and dining time will be confirmed upon boarding the ship.

Confirmed Dining

At time of booking, Carnival guests will be able to confirm their preferred dining choice. If their preference is not available, they may confirm an alternate choice and be waitlisted for their preferred choice. Waitlists will be cleared prior to sailing and guests will be notified by email.

Your Time Dining is available fleetwide. Click here for more information.

At this time our reservation system is not designed to take table size request. Please note that all dining assignments are processed by the Maitre’d prior to embarkation. While they will try their best to accommodate any special requests made on board, this cannot be guaranteed.

Online

Orders must be cancelled online and no cancellation charges will be assessed if done prior to the pre-sail cut-off time (11:30pm, the evening prior to the cruise departure). Any cancellations done afterwards must be handled on board.

In the event of pre-sailing, online cancellations, a full refund will automatically be posted to the credit card used to secure the order.

Please allow 5-7 business days for the credit to reflect on your account.

On board

After the pre-sails cut off date, cancellations must be handled on board and cancellation charges are as follows:

25% charge once on board

100% charge if cancellation within 24 hours of arrival in port

Refunds less cancellation charges will be applied in the form of a credit to the guest’s Sail & Sign account.

Cancellation/Refund Policies – Spa

For online cancellations that occur 7 full days or more prior to the sailing date, a full refund will automatically be posted to the credit card that was used to pay for the spa treatment. This policy is effective regardless of whether or not the person who purchased the spa treatment is sailing. Please allow 7-10 business days for the credit to post to your account.

No changes can be made within 7 days prior to sailing (the “cut-off date”). If you need to make changes after the cut-off date, you must wait until after boarding the ship and see the Spa Manager onboard in the spa. Once onboard, any refunds will be made to the Sail & Sign account of the spa order contact person’s Sail & Sign account, not the original credit card used to secure the online order. This applies even in the event that spa treatments were purchased as a gift by someone who is not sailing.
In the event of a cruise booking cancellation, a full refund will automatically be posted to the original credit card used to pay for the spa treatment order. This is providing that the cancellation is prior to the cut-off date. If the designated contact person on a spa order must cancel from their cruise booking, any remaining guests on the booking who are sailing would like to retain the spa order, a new contact person needs to be assigned. If a designated contact person cancels and does not reassign the responsibility, all of the associated spa orders will automatically cancel and be refunded.

Onboard Cancellation Policy: Please give us 24 hours notice before canceling your appointments or your Sail & Sign account will be subject to a 50% charge of the spa treatment cost.

For our guest’s convenience, the ship’s telecommunications network offers direct dialing via satellite from the staterooms telephone.

The rate is $1.99 USD per minute, and charges are billed to the guest’s on board Sail and Sign Card.

While your ship is at sea, the cellular system is activated and you can make and receive calls, send and receive text messages, as well as view emails and browse the Internet with over 300 carriers worldwide. International roaming rates apply and are set and billed by your home carrier. Charges will appear on your regular cell phone bill. Please contact your carrier before your cruise to check rates for each service, to determine if there are any special discount offers, and to ensure your plan allows you to roam. For more information, visit techspo.co

Hurricane Season: “Hurricane Season” is defined as June 10th through November 10th.

In the event your wedding cannot take place, you will be fully refunded.

Cruise Cancellation Policy:

Note: Should cancellation charges apply, guests who purchased Carnival’s Cruise Vacation Protection — including the new Cancel for Any Reason feature — may be eligible for a refund of, or credits towards, the otherwise non-refundable value of their prepaid cruise vacation.

Internet Café / Wireless Internet Services

To keep you connected while at sea, satellite Internet access is available via WiFi throughout the vessel and in the Internet Café.

Wireless Users – Laptops and other WiFi equipped devices

Got a laptop, an iPad, or a netbook? Got 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless capability (that’s just geek speak for WiFi)?

The Wireless Internet Service is compatible with a Wireless 802.11b card, which is the industry standard. You may use your personal laptop while onboard, your iPhone and all other WiFi equipped devices and most software installed on them without restrictions. VPN access on the other hand is restricted to connections of the type, which are not IPSec or PPTP connections. Kindly discuss your VPN limitations with your company’s IT department if you are planning to work while sailing. We are not able to change your settings onboard.

Before You Go

Get the most from your cruise Internet time and your trip — make sure you’re powered up and prepared before you board the ship with this handy pre-cruise checklist. Here are a few things you want to remember to pack for your cruise:

• WiFi enabled laptop and mobile devices
• Power supply for each of the devices you are bringing with you
• A charged battery for your trip to the ship
• Data cables to transfer pictures
• Headphones
• Laptop privacy screens

Best Practices

• Email – Convert your email settings to basic; you will have a better experience with less graphic intense content. Most email providers have a lite version of their service optimized for low-bandwidth users.
• Mobile websites – most websites nowadays offer a mobile interface; they are leaner, less graphic intense alternatives to their main page. Mobile pages load quicker via the leaner bandwidth available onboard and can be accessed regardless of your device: laptop, smart phone, tablet etc. A few examples:

www.M.Facebook.com

www.Touch.Facebook.com

www.M.Yahoo.com

• Apps – consider using apps; they are tailored for your device and will improve your online experience
• Browsers – Experiment with alternate browsers for a faster experience: Chrome, Opera, Safari, Mozilla, Firefox
• Remember to log out
• Disconnect from WiFi – develop the habit of disconnecting from WiFi when ending your Internet session; leaving your device connected may slow other users’ Internet speed
• Words associated with leaner content = faster loading time: mobile, text only, lite, no media, low resolution
• Discuss VPN limitations with your company’s IT department prior to cruising; onboard personnel are not able to change your settings onboard.

NOTE:

Internet access via satellite is a significantly different experience than high-speed connections on shore. Onboard Internet access is not guaranteed at all times due to the nature of satellite communications, which are subject to occasional disruptions due to weather patterns and location.

Accessing E-mail and the Internet in the middle of the world’s oceans is a triumph of cutting edge satellite technology. Our investment into this technology matches some of the most prestigious companies in the world, but even so it cannot be as fast as your home broadband. This is because the data must be transmitted over a slower wireless signal to satellites 22,000 miles above the Earth, which then bounce the data back down to the exchange. At home the data is sent down your fast cable connection to your local exchange, just around the corner from your house. We are continually reviewing our investment to secure you as fast a connection as possible and challenge fjords, glaciers and other grand geographical locations, to provide you with as seamless and consistent a service as possible.

Liquor and Beverage Policy

Bringing Alcohol On Board – Embarkation Day:

Guests are prohibited from bringing alcoholic beverages on board. However, at the beginning of the cruise during embarkation day, guests (21 years of age and older) may bring on board one bottle (750ml) of wine or champagne, per person, only in their carry-on luggage. A $10 corkage fee per bottle will be charged should you wish to consume this wine in the main dining room; $14 corkage fee per bottle in the steakhouse. (A corkage fee is a charge exacted at a restaurant for every bottle of liquor served that was not bought on the premises)

On embarkation day, each guest may bring a small quantity of non-alcoholic beverages on board and only in their carry-on luggage. A small quantity is considered a maximum of 12 bottles and/or cans, 20 ounces each or less.

All alcohol/hard liquor/beer (sealed, unopened bottles/cans), wine/champagne over the allowable 1-bottle per guest (sealed, unopened bottles) or excessive quantities of non-alcoholic beverages (over 12 per person, sealed, unopened bottles/cans) will be confiscated and stored for safekeeping until the end of the voyage. The retained item(s) will be available for collection onboard in a designated location on the morning of debarkation. Unsealed liquids that are prohibited will be discarded, as well as any unclaimed items left after the voyage, and no compensation will be given in either case.

Large cooler restrictions:

Carnival Cruise Lines does not allow guests to bring large coolers on board its ships. However small, personal-sized coolers, no larger than 12”H x 12”L x 12”W for the purpose of housing small quantities of non-alcoholic beverages and/or medications are permitted as carry-on luggage. Screening and movement of large coolers through embarkation is an impediment to the boarding and security screening process. Therefore, large coolers are not permitted as carry-on or checked luggage.

Ports-of-Call:

Alcoholic beverages of any kind purchased in any Port-of-Call will be retained at the gangway, stored on board and held by Carnival until the end of the voyage.

Gift Shops On Board:

Alcoholic beverages of any kind purchased in the ship’s gift shop will be stored on board and be retained by Carnival until the end of the voyage.

The Fun Shops or Room Service:

Alcohol orders made through The Fun Shops or Room Service are not permitted to be taken to any location outside of the approved delivery locations specified for those products at the time of purchase. These programs are designed for in-cabin entertaining or in-dining consumption only. Consumption in public areas is strictly prohibited.

Drinking Alcohol On Board:

The minimum age for the purchase and/or consumption of alcoholic beverages in the bars, lounges and gift shops is 21 years of age. In the event that Bar/Restaurant/Gift Shop staff are in question that a guest is less than 21 years old, they shall request picture identification, prior to serving the drink or selling the bottle of liquor.

Carnival reserves the right to refuse the sale of alcoholic beverages to anyone.

When is the Security Briefing? (Muster Station Drill)

Safety Briefing – Muster Station Drill

Carnival Cruise Lines will implement a new Safety Briefing, formerly referred to as the “Boat Drill”. The new Safety Briefing will be rolled out throughout the fleet by the end of 2009.

According to SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea), Chapter III, Regulations 19.2.2. and 19.2.3, whenever new passengers embark, a passenger Safety Briefing shall be given immediately before sailing or immediately after sailing. Passengers shall be instructed in the use of the lifejackets and the action to take in an emergency.

Therefore, when the signal for the Safety Briefing blares out, guests will no longer be required to go to their stateroom to collect their lifejackets. They will proceed directly to their assigned muster station from their location at that time.

The letter of the muster station to which the guest is assigned (according to stateroom number) is printed on the left bottom corner of the Guest’s Sail & Sign card. The guest will need to have the Sail & Sign card in hand during the Safety Briefing.

During the Safety Briefing, the Evacuation Personnel will be visible to all guests and demonstrate how to wear a lifejacket.

This new procedure will improve the guest’s experience and prevent unnecessary accidents due to hanging strings from the lifejackets as well as heat exhaustion at the muster stations during summer-type weather.

Do you have life jackets in all sizes?

Every Carnival ship contains a surplus of life jackets well above the total number of passengers and crew and above what is required by maritime law. Life jackets are located within passenger cabins and there are additional jackets at lifeboat stations and on board the lifeboats themselves. Life jackets are available in Adult, Child and Infant sizes.

What is the safety policy for children while at Youth Programs during emergencies?

All children 11 years of age and younger must wear a muster station wristband throughout the cruise. Wristbands are available from the Youth Staff or Guest Services. In the event of an emergency, children participating in Camp Carnival activities will be taken to a designated assembly area (this will vary from ship to ship). The children will be divided into the appropriate groups according to their muster station by the Youth Staff. During an emergency situation, the parents should collect their own life jackets and their child’s life jacket from their stateroom and proceed directly to their muster station. The Youth Staff will deliver all children to their parents muster stations according to their muster station wristbands.

Is the Online Check – In application secure?

Yes, your transaction is secured with industry-standard encryption, secure via Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), and this application is regularly monitored by third-party security audit firms, including McAfee and VeriSign.

What is the U.S Border Securty Act?

Online Check-In Advance Registration — U.S. Border Security Act

Carnival is required to provide the Department of Homeland Security with specific guest information and a final departure manifest, 60 minutes prior to the ship’s departure. To comply, you must register in advance of your cruise by going to www.carnival.com/BookedGuest. Please note that to log in or register, you will need your Carnival booking number, ship name and sail date, as well as the last name and date of birth of any one guest in the booking. To access your booking after logging in, select new cruise details followed by Online Check-In. Once you complete all information required for check-in, you will be able to print your cruise documents, including luggage tags, boarding passes and more. If you have problems using Online Check-In, please contact Carnival. Failure to provide the information before 12 AM on the day before your departure date will result in delays at embarkation and will require you to check in at the port at least 90 minutes prior to the published sailing time.

Cruise Documents

Upon completion of Online Check-In, you will be able to print your cruise documents, including luggage tags, boarding passes and more. Additionally, within Cruise Details you will be able to view your reservation, purchase shore excursions, set your dining preferences, make spa appointments, and view Frequently Asked Questions, among other things. Guests using our Fly Aweigh service can also access their flight information here.

What is the A-Pass Security System?

The A-PASS is a computerized system for tracking all persons, both guests and crew, who enter and exit the ship. Upon arrival at the ship, each guest is issued a boarding card (Sign & Sail) which they must swipe to be officially logged on to the ship. The system imbeds a full color, digital photograph together with personal database information on their boarding card. When an individual slides his or her card, a computer displays a corresponding photo with database information and merges time and date tracking information upon entry or exit. This system saves valuable time and effort for the Shipboard Security as they only have to verify the individuals’ photo and database information on the computer screen rather than having to physically match the guest with their photo ID and boarding card.

Note: This system has been implemented on all ships in our fleet.

Can my friends visit me on the ship while in port?

Carnival has implemented a “No Visitors” policy for the entire fleet. This applies to all ports of embarkation and ports of call. Guests sailing on our cruises will not be permitted to have visitors on board to see them off. We have changed this policy to improve our overall security program and enhance the onboard experience for our guests during embarkation day.

The following exception applies to this policy:

a) Wedding Guests attending a passenger’s ceremonyc/reception or guests attending any type of party/reception on board that has been previously arranged by the Bon Voyage/Wedding Services Department will follow the policies stated by this Department.

Are there restrictions on what we can bring aboard?

Yes, for more details click here

Is there a safe in each stateroom?

For our guests’ convenience and security, a safe is provided in every stateroom and is located in either the closet or a cabinet. The size varies among the fleet; approximate size: 10″(wide) x 9″(high) x 8″(deep).

On the following ships, guests must obtain a key from their room Steward. There is no charge; however, a $40 fee will be charged to their Sail & Sign Account in the event the key is lost or not returned by the last evening of the cruise: Fantasy Ecstasy.

On all other ships, the safe can be opened by using any type of card with a magnetic strip on the back, such as a credit card.

Is it safe to cruise to Mexico?

Carnival’s port of call destinations in Mexico are concentrated in highly popular tourist areas and not the outlying areas where the vast majority of the reported violence has occurred. We have not experienced any issues among our guests along the lines of the recently reported incidents.

Are there any requirements such as visas or inoculations when I visit certain ports?

As a reminder to our guests, kindly be advised that passport, visa and inoculation regulations may vary by destination and change from time to time. It is the sole responsibility of the guest to obtain and have available when necessary the appropriate valid travel and health documents such as passports, visas, vaccination certificates, etc., that are necessary for air travel, debarkation at the various ports of call and re-entry into the appropriate country of origin. We recommend that you visit your nearest consulate office or relevant web site for appropriate requirements.

Is there security on board?

Carnival puts the highest priority on the safety and security of our guests. In order to maintain that environment, we employ a high-profile, onboard uniformed security force. These personnel are onboard to make sure everyone enjoys a safe and happy “Fun Ship” cruise vacation. Carnival Cruise Lines is operating at heightened security levels throughout its fleet and is working closely with law enforcement and federal agencies to ensure the safety of our ships and ports. While we are not permitted to discuss specific elements of our security program so as not to undermine those efforts, we can assure our guests and travel partners that we are at a heightened security status and safety of our guests and crew is of paramount importance.

How does Carnival ensure the operating reliability of its fleet?

Carnival Cruise Lines announced fleetwide $300 million program to enhance operating reliability and guest comfort.

Yes. the Carnival Spirit’s homeport is now Sydney, Australia. A vacation experience on this ship includes dining, shows, fun-filled activities and more as you sail these exciting itineraries to the Pacific Islands or New Zealand.

It depends on the climate of the port. Given the warm climate and the more rustic conditions in the Caribbean and Central America, we strongly suggest that you wear light, casual clothing and comfortable, low-heeled walking shoes or sneakers. For any brief tropical showers you may encounter, you might want to bring a fold-up umbrella and a light jacket. We have placed a symbol next to the water-related excursion descriptions, for which we suggest you wear your bathing suit, cover-up and hat. Also, remember to bring sunscreen, a towel and a camera and to leave your valuables onboard, in your staterooms. For all golf excursions, collared shirts and either long pants or Bermuda-style shorts (no cut-offs, bathing suits, etc.) are required.

Given the fluctuating climate in Alaska, Canada, and New England, we strongly suggest you dress in layers – a shirt, sweater and light raincoat will do. This allows you to add or remove layers as needed. Wear comfortable, low-heeled walking shoes or sneakers, or sturdier shoes for activities such as hiking. You might want to bring a fold-up umbrella and a light jacket in your carry on.

Note: Cancellations due to weather are the determination of the tour operator only. See specific questions related to shore excursion cancellations.

Formal wear rentals are only available for pre-cruise orders. Formal wear rentals are not available on international sailings. Formal wear rentals are not available onboard, therefore, rentals cannot be exchanged for alternate colors or sizing. All formal wear rentals are provided by an independent contractor therefore Carnival assumes no responsibility for acts of the independent contractor.

You can pre-order formal wear rentals prior to your cruise, with Cruiseline Formal wear.

Casual attire is the order of the day. We suggest shorts, sundresses, tank tops, etc. for the ladies, and for men; shorts, polo shirts, T-shirts, etc. will do. We suggest you wear rubber-soled, low heeled or flat shoes for extra traction while onboard. The use of any footwear with wheels, including but not limited, to Heelys© shoes, is prohibited on board our ships. For dining you may want to dress up a bit and/or bring along a light sports jacket or cardigan.

Most evenings we have a Cruise Casual dress code, but there are those Cruise Elegant evenings one or two nights throughout your “Fun Ship” voyage, where you will have the opportunity to showcase your more elegant attire. For those who want casual attire for dinner time, the Lido Restaurant is open nightly, and has a more relaxed theme. However, shirts and shoes/footwear (flip-flops) must be worn at all times inside the Lido Restaurant.

Both dress codes for the dining rooms are described below.

Cruise Casual Dining Dress Code: Gentlemen – Sport slacks, khakis, jeans (no cut-offs), dress shorts (long), collared sport shirts; Ladies – Casual dresses, casual skirts or pants and blouses, summer dresses, Capri pants, dress shorts, jeans (no cut-offs).

Special Sailings

For Canada/New England/Alaska cruises: Sweaters, lightweight jackets and raincoats are suggested. Casual clothes that can be layered easily are highly recommended. Bring a heavier sweater if you are traveling to the glaciers, along with a raincoat and umbrella, because it is often cold and windy in such areas.

For South America and Europe cruises: Comfortable shoes and a just-in-case raincoat. Bring a sweater if you are traveling to the glaciers, along with a raincoat and umbrella, because it is often cold and windy in such areas. Special note: It is essential that you wear the proper apparel when visiting the Vatican and other religious sites (no bare legs or shoulders).
