Christine Baxter+FollowCarnival Cruises Just Flipped the Loyalty ScriptCarnival Cruises is shaking up its loyalty game: starting 2026, it’s not about how many nights you cruise, but how much you spend. So, splurging on spa days, fancy dinners, or even drinks now gets you more perks than just racking up nights at sea. The catch? Status resets every two years, so you’ve got to keep spending to stay VIP. Royal Caribbean fans are watching closely—will their perks be next? #CruiseLife #TravelHacks #CarnivalCruise #Business #MakeMoney30Share
ashley89+FollowCarnival Cruise Parking Drama UnfoldsAnyone sailing on Carnival Panorama from Long Beach next June? Heads up: parking is a hot mess! Carnival just told guests there’s barely any parking at the port, so they’re pushing everyone to use offsite lots (think $180 for 8 nights, card only). You have to drop your crew and bags at the terminal first, then drive to the lot and catch a shuttle back. Oh, and if you’ve got a big car or back-to-back cruises, you’re on your own. Plan ahead or risk missing the boat—literally! #CarnivalCruise #TravelTips #CruiseLife #Travel279Share
Timothy Bird+FollowCarnival’s Free Water Mix-Up: What Gives?So, Carnival cruise regulars were pumped for their free water perk—until some found out the bottle in their room wasn’t actually the freebie. Turns out, you have to grab your complimentary water at the bar, not from your cabin. The confusion? Carnival’s website says you can get it in your room, but staff say otherwise. The takeaway: always double-check where to snag your perks so you don’t get an unexpected charge! #CruiseHacks #CarnivalCruise #TravelTips #Business00Share
Vincent Perry+FollowCarnival’s Tiny Cabin Upgrade Wins BigEver struggled to charge your phone or plug in your CPAP on a cruise? Carnival just made life easier by adding bedside lamps with USB and power outlets to their older ships. No more fighting over outlets or tripping on extension cords! Passengers are loving this simple fix—proof that small upgrades can make your vacation way more comfortable. Now, if only they’d move the lamp so it’s not hogging the table… #CruiseHacks #CarnivalCruise #TravelTips #Business #Industry100Share
Jerry Clark+FollowWould You Try 'Express Dining' at Sea?Carnival Cruise Line is shaking up dinner at sea by testing a new 'Express Dining' option—think three courses in 45 minutes instead of the usual hour and a half. If you’re the type who’d rather hit the pool deck or catch a show than linger over dinner, this could be your dream cruise hack. The catch? A smaller menu, but way more time for fun. If it’s a hit, expect to see it on more ships soon! #CruiseLife #TravelHacks #CarnivalCruise #Business #Industry00Share
Brad Ramirez+FollowSleeping with Your Cruise Balcony Open?Ever wondered if you can actually sleep with your cruise balcony door open? Carnival’s Brand Ambassador just spilled the tea: it’s totally allowed! Your AC will only shut off in your own cabin (not your neighbors’), so no need to stress. But heads up—secure that door unless you want a wind tunnel or a rude wake-up from a slamming door. Oh, and dragging your mattress onto the balcony? Big no-no. Ocean breeze: yes. Outdoor slumber party: nope! #CruiseLife #TravelTips #CarnivalCruise #Travel10Share
Brad Ramirez+FollowCarnival’s 45-Minute Dinner Hack?Ever wished dinner on a cruise could be quicker after a long day exploring? Carnival is testing a 45-minute express dinner on Carnival Vista! There’s a special section in the dining room just for this, with a smaller menu (think shrimp cocktail, steak, and chocolate melting cake). You can still do the classic, longer dinner if you want, but this speedy option is perfect for those who want to eat and get back to the fun. Would you try it? #CarnivalCruise #CruiseLife #TravelNews #Travel33Share
Nicholas Lyons+FollowCruise Booking Drama: Overbooked & Sold Out?!Cruise fans, the booking chaos is real! Royal Caribbean just overbooked its ninth cruise for 2025—guests are now choosing between switching sailings for a 50% refund + $300 onboard credit or canceling for a full refund and future credit. Meanwhile, Carnival cruisers are freaking out over 'sold out' specialty dining for 2026, but it’s just a glitch—reservations haven’t opened yet. Pro tip: double-check your bookings and don’t panic if you see 'sold out'! #CruiseNews #RoyalCaribbean #CarnivalCruise #Travel111Share
wmadden+FollowBalcony Door Drama on Carnival Cruises?Turns out, sleeping with your balcony door open on a Carnival cruise is totally fine—just don’t let it slam or annoy your neighbors! Carnival’s Brand Ambassador John Heald set the record straight: leaving your door open only affects your own AC, not anyone else’s. But don’t drag your mattress outside (big no-no), and keep the noise down—Bluetooth speakers are banned now. Oh, and no smoking or hanging laundry out there either. Basically: enjoy the ocean breeze, but play nice! #CarnivalCruise #CruiseTips #TravelEtiquette #Home4141Share
Jamie Watson+FollowCarnival’s Surprising Dance Floor BanDid you hear Carnival Cruise Line just banned handheld fans from their dance floors? Apparently, it’s all about safety—no more waving those mini fans while you’re busting a move, since they could cause injuries or get tangled in hair. Drinks are out too (spills = slips). Break the rules and you could get fined or even kicked off the ship! If you’re cruising this summer, double-check those new rules before you pack. #CarnivalCruise #TravelNews #CruiseLife #Travel00Share
