Essentials to Know 

Before You Go 

FUNPASSSM Advance Registration - U.S. Border Security Act 

Carnival is required to provide the U.S. Department of 

Homeland Security with specific guest information and a final 

departure manifest 60 minutes prior to departure.To comply, 

you must register in advance for your cruise by going online 

to carnival.com/mycruise and clicking on the FUNPASS icon. 

You will need your Carnival booking number, ship and sail 

date to access your record. Once you complete the required 

fields of pertinent information, you will obtain a FUNPASS 

that will allow you to “fast track” through a documentation 

verification process at embarkation. If you do not have 

Internet access, you can send this information via fax. Contact 

Carnival Reservations at 866-236-6670 for the Advanced 

Reservations Form. Failure to provide the information before 

midnight of the day prior to departure date will result in 

delays in embarkation and will require guest to check in at 

least 90 minutes prior to the published sailing time. 

Passport Information 

Carnival recommends that all guests travel with a passport 

valid for at least 6 months beyond completion of travel. 

For more information or to obtain a passport application, 

visit www.travel.state.gov. Passport Services 

(www.passportservices.com/carnival) can also provide 

application assistance. 

CRUISE TRAVEL 

U.S. citizens traveling on cruises that begin and end in the 

same U.S. port must show proof of citizenship (such as an 

original or certified copy of a birth certificate) and a 

government-issued photo ID (such as a driver’s license). All 

Foreign nationals and U.S. citizens traveling on other cruises 

(cruises that begin and end in different U.S. ports or begin or 

end in a foreign port) will require a passport or other 

recognized document. For a complete list of accepted 

documents, see www.travel.state.gov. 

AIR TRAVEL 

Passports are required for air travel to or from Canada, Europe, 

Central and South America, the Caribbean,The Bahamas and 

Bermuda. 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. 


Travel Documentation 

All guests must present the required documentation at 

embarkation. Guests without the required documentation 

will be denied boarding and no refund will be issued. 

Please understand that Carnival will strictly enforce this 

requirement to be in compliance with this important 

U.S. Government mandate. 

Proper travel documentation is required at embarkation and 

throughout the cruise. Even though a guest has completed 

registration using FUNPASS, it is still the responsibility of the 

guest to bring all required travel documents. Guest should 

check with their travel agent and/or government authority to 

determine the travel documents necessary for each port of 

call. Carnival assumes no responsibility for advising guests of 

immigration requirements. 

U.S. citizens must present proof of citizenship in the form of 

a passport (valid or expired for less than 10 years), original 

birth certificate, state-issued certified copy of a birth 

certificate from the Department of Health and Vital Statistics, 

or original Naturalization papers. 

Carnival strongly recommends guests travel with a 

passport since it will expedite clearance by the 

Department of Homeland Security. 

U.S. Alien Residents need a valid Alien Resident Card. 

Canadian citizens must present a valid passport. Non-U.S. 

citizens need a valid passport and a valid, unexpired U.S. 

Multiple Re-entry Visa, if applicable. 

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) OR a valid driver's license (or other 

government-issued photo ID) must be presented. 

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. 

Non-U.S. citizens 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. 


For sailings to/from Europe, U.S. citizens must have a valid 

passport. Alien Residents and all other Non-U.S. citizens are 

advised to check with their travel agent or appropriate 

government authority to determine the necessary 

documents. All visitors to St. Petersburg must be in 

possession of a Russian Tourist Visa, unless participating on a 

Carnival sponsored tour. Certain foreign nationals will be 

required to obtain a Schengen Visa and/or Croatian Visa. 

For sailings to Canadian ports of call, certain foreign 

nationals must obtain a Canadian visa in addition to the U.S. 

Multiple Re-entry Visa. Non-U.S. citizens must contact the 

appropriate consulates, U.S. Embassy and U.S. Immigration 

office to inquire about necessary travel documentation. 

For sailings to Bermuda, U.S. Alien Residents must present 

their valid Alien Resident Card in addition to their passport 

or birth certificate from country of origin.These documents 

will be returned upon completion of the Immigration 

inspection at time of debarkation. 

For sailings to Mexico, any guest debarking for more than 

24 hours must have obtained a Mexican Tourist Card from 

either a travel agent or a Mexican consulate prior to their 

departure. 

For sailings to Brazil, U.S. and Canadian citizens must carry a 

valid passport and are also required to obtain a Visa from a 

Brazilian Consulate in their country of origin. Although Visas 

are not required for Argentina, Chile and Ecuador, Carnival 

strongly advises guests to check with the official web site of 

these particular countries when questioning visitors travel 

requirements. Alien Residents must carry a valid passport 

from their country of citizenship and a valid, unexpired, Alien 

Resident Card. Non-U.S. citizens must carry a valid passport. 

Guests are advised to check with their travel agent or 

appropriate government authority to determine the 

necessary travel documentation. 


For minors traveling without both parents/legal guardians, 

we strongly recommend bringing an original signed letter 

from the absent parent/legal guardian authorizing the minor 

to travel with you. This will expedite processing by the U.S. 

Department of Homeland Security. Please note that a 

notarized letter to this effect is required if debarking with 

children in Mexico. In addition to the above requirements, 

all guests 16 years of age or older must provide an official 

photo ID. 

Pre-Book Shore Excursions 

You can purchase your shore excursions in advance, up to 

120 days prior to your sail date. Once you have a fully 

deposited cruise booking, you can register online at 

www.carnival.com/shoreexcursions using your booking 

number, giving you access to all of the shore excursions and 

pricing applicable to your specific itinerary. 

Carnival’s VIP Check-in 

Carnival’s VIP Check-in is an exclusive service designed to 

afford guests traveling in deluxe suite accommodations 

with specialized registration privileges.This service is now 

available in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Port 

Canaveral, Los angeles (Long Beach), New Orleans, 

Charleston, Norfolk, San Juan, Galveston,Tampa, Mobile, 

Jacksonville, New York, San Diego, Honolulu,Whittier 

(Anchorage),Vancouver, London (Dover), and Rome 

(Civitavecchia). If you are entitled to these special services, 

please ask for Carnival VIP Check-in immediately upon 

arriving at the cruise terminal. 

Fly Aweigh® Guests 

Carnival’s Fly Aweigh program arranges convenient flight times 

to and from most ports of embarkation, with an inclusive 

motor coach transfer service. Fly Aweigh guests must check 

all documentation prior to sailing to ensure tickets 

correspond with the correct ship and sailing date. Guests or 

travel agents should request advance seat assignments and 

boarding passes directly with the airline(s) after receiving 

airline tickets or airline E-ticket confirmation. Guests should 

reconfirm flights directly with the airline a minimum of 48 

hours prior to departure and verify luggage restrictions 

regarding quantity, size and weight. Guests are responsible for 

claiming their luggage at the airport. Carnival’s airport 

representative will advise guests how to proceed with their 

luggage.The luggage is usually placed in the same motor 

coach assigned to transfer the guest; however, on some 

sailings, the luggage may be placed in luggage trucks. 


What about money 

U.S. currency and traveler’s checks are accepted at most 

ports of call.While you will find traveler’s checks to be safe 

and convenient, it’s also advisable to bring a reasonable 

amount of U.S. currency for limited use on board and in 

port. For your convenience, we have an ATM aboard our 

ships. However, please note that the supply of money may be 

depleted prior to the end of your cruise.Visa®, MasterCard ® 

and American Express® cards are accepted at the larger 

shops in port. 

MasterCard , Discover® Network and Visa are accepted for 

payment for wire transfer of funds. Bank certified checks are 

not accepted on board. 

For sailings to Alaska: It may be a good idea to obtain some 

Canadian currency before leaving home for possible use 

in Vancouver. 

For sailings to Europe: Euros are the preferred currency in 

most ports of call. It is advisable to obtain some euros 

prior to arrival. All onboard charges will be processed in 

U.S. currency. 

For sailings to South America: Although several places in 

Argentina and Chile do accept U.S. currency, it may be a 

good idea to obtain some Argentinean and Chilean Pesos. 

Sail & Sign® 

For your convenience, charges for most of your onboard 

purchases will be posted to your Sail & Sign account. A 

required application form has been included with your 

documents.A deposit will be recommended for cash accounts, 

and the amount will range from $100 to $350 depending 

on cruise duration. Carnival accepts American Express,Visa, 

MasterCard, Discover Network, Carnival SeaMiles 

MasterCard, Diners, JCB card,Visa & MasterCard gift cards 

and cash for deposit on your account. Personal checks, thirdparty 

credit cards, travel funds cards, credit card gift cards 

(except Visa and MasterCard gift cards) and mini credit cards 

are not accepted on board. 

By using a credit card or debit/check cashing card, you will be 

eligible to take advantage of express checkout at the end of 

your cruise.You will receive a final statement delivered to 

your stateroom, and all charges will automatically be billed to 

your card. 

Please be advised that if you are using a credit card or 

debit/check cashing card, a hold will be placed on your 

account as a deposit for your onboard purchases. During 

your cruise additional holds will be added if your Sail & Sign 

account exceeds the amount of deposit Carnival has on file. 

1 0 C A R N I VA L C RU I S E L I N E S

If you present a credit card, this will reduce the amount 

available on your credit card for other purchases. If you 

present a debit/check cashing card, the hold will restrict the 

available cash in your checking account. Credit card and 

debit/check cashing card holds may take up to seventy-two 

(72) hours to be released depending on the issuing bank. 

All charges will be billed to the credit card or debit/check 

cashing card presented at the end of the cruise. Please note 

that Carnival Cruise Lines will not be held responsible for any 

bank-imposed overage or insufficient funds charges on debit 

or credit cards. 

What to 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 rubbersoled,

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.

are those Cruise Elegant evenings one or two nights

Sweaters, lightweight jackets and raincoats are suggested.

often cold and windy in such areas.

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

proper apparel when visiting the Vatican and other religious 

sites (no bare legs or shoulders). 

Guests with Special Needs 

To the extent feasible, Carnival seeks to accommodate guests 

with special requirements so they can enjoy our ships and 

other facilities. In situations where a guest with special 

requirements, such as a wheelchair, or any other medical 

mobility device, would be unable to be comfortably 

accommodated due to vessel safety barriers and other 

criteria, we may ask the guest to bring along a companion to 

assist, or to make alternative arrangements. It is mandatory 

that guests with any medical, physical or other special 

requirements contact the Guest Access Services department 

at 1-800-438-6744, ext. 70025, or TTY (for deaf/hard of 

hearing) at 1-800-972-4386 to ensure proper arrangements 

for special needs.

parent, grandparent or guardian 25 years or older in the same 

stateroom. Infants must be at least six months old (twelve

conjunction with the Carnival Fly Aweigh program or

Carnival’s Cruise Vacation Protection PlanSM 

We strongly recommend that all guests purchase Carnival’s 

Cruise Vacation Protection Plan which covers trip 

cancellation, interruption, baggage and contents, and medical 

expenses because unfortunately the unexpected does 

sometimes occur. The Vacation Protection Plan makes 

comprehensive, high-quality protection available to you at 

affordable prices. If you choose not to purchase travel 

protection, Carnival’s liability is limited to baggage, contents 

and personal possessions to a maximum of $50 per bag, with 

a maximum total limitation of $100 per stateroom regardless 

of the number of bags. Carnival is not responsible for loss or 

theft of money, jewelry or other valuables kept in the 

stateroom or public areas on board. 

For your convenience, all ships have in-stateroom safes. For 

storage of larger valuables, there is a limited supply of safety 

deposit boxes at Guest Services at no charge ($25 

refundable key deposit).We highly recommend you 

personally carry with you any valuables, medications, 

breakable items and other carry-on items, including video 

cameras, when embarking or disembarking.

specific conditions and limitations of your cruise, including 

time limitations and the proper venue in which to file suit.

guests an opportunity to cancel their cruise without penalty 

within 24 hours. No additional compensation for the itinerary 

change will be offered at a later time. If an itinerary change 

occurs while a ship is at sea or when notice prior to sailing is 

not feasible, Carnival will attempt to substitute an alternative 

port. No compensation will be provided to passengers when 

an alternative port is offered. If an alternative port is not 

provided, guests will receive a shipboard credit of $20 per 

guest.The Vacation Guarantee will not be affected by this 

policy.The complete itinerary change policy is posted at

suitcases per person, with each suitcase not to weigh more 

than 50 pounds and not exceed 16"h x 24"w x 30" length. 

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 24"w x 16"h.This is an advantage you may want to 

consider as it will allow for quicker and 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 locked 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, please remember that each airline 

has its own luggage restrictions on the maximum number, 

size, and weight of bags allowed per person. You are 

responsible for contacting your airline to learn about their 

individual luggage restrictions and policies. 

Visitors’ Policy

facility ashore.The ability to transfer you to a shore-side 

facility may be limited or delayed by weather or logistical 

considerations. If you are referred to a shore-side facility, 

Carnival will not be responsible for the cost of the treatment. 

Your health insurance coverage may not be accepted at the 

shore-side facilities and ports of call; however, you may be 

able to seek reimbursement from your insurance carrier after 

you return home. Refer to your individual health insurance 

policy for details.We recommend that you purchase the 

Carnival Cruise Vacation Protection Plan as it provides for 

reimbursement of unexpected medical expenses up to plan 

limits. If you are currently suffering from a serious medical 

condition, please consult with your personal physician prior to 

sailing. If you are taking medication or want the medical staff 

to be aware of special needs, please contact our infirmary. 

This will ensure they will be prepared if you need assistance. 

If you contract a contagious disease, or even suspect a 

contagious disease, you are required to report to the ship’s 

infirmary for the safety of everyone on board. If you require 

intramuscular or subcutaneous injections to treat a medical 

condition, please avoid injury to our crew members and 

other guests by using a Sharps container to dispose of 

needles. If you need an additional Sharps container while on 

board, please advise your Stateroom Steward or Guest 

Services. 

Medications 

Hand-carry required medications in your pocket or purse so 

that they will be available when needed. Checked 

luggage may not be accessible at all times. 


If you are taking prescription drugs, vitamins or other 

medications on a regular basis, bring an adequate supply with 

you since these may not be readily available on board ship or 

in ports of call. Commonly used medications may be 

purchased at the office of the shipboard doctor. Please note 

that the Camp Carnival staff does not administer medications 

to children. 

Will I get seasick 

Seasickness is rare on ships as large as ours. All our ships are 

equipped with stabilizers that are designed to keep them 

smooth and steady in the water. If you should feel queasy, 

medicine is available from your Stateroom Steward, Guest 

Services or the ship’s infirmary. 

What about electrical appliances 

The current in all “Fun Ship” staterooms is 110 volts AC and 

is capable of handling all normal appliances such as electric 

razors, hair dryers and curling irons. (Please be certain to 

unplug the curling iron when not in use.) However, we do 

not allow the use of heating items such as irons or heating 

pads in the staterooms as these items can be a fire hazard. 

Can I bring a radio on board 

You are welcome to bring radios and CD/cassette players for 

your private enjoyment. However, for the comfort of other 

guests, we request that headphones or earpieces be used in 

public areas. 

Are there babysitters 

Babysitting for children 11 years old and under is available 

from 10:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. every evening in Camp Carnival 

and is supervised by our specially trained Youth Counselors. 

Babysitting is offered in the form of a Pajama Party, and 

pillows, blankets and cribs are provided.The cost is $6 per 

hour for the first child in the family and $4 per hour for each 

additional sibling.We also offer morning care for children 

under the age of two on port days, from port arrival time 

until noon, for the same charge. 


What about towels 

Beach towels are available in your stateroom for use on deck 

and in port.They’re also available for purchase and make 

great souvenirs. 

What To Do With Your Valuables 

We’re sure you’ll want to bring your camera, jewelry and 

other valuable items on your cruise. However, the ship 

cannot accept responsibility for any articles left in your 

stateroom, public areas or packed in your luggage.We 

suggest you use your stateroom safe or a safety deposit box 

available at Guest Services. 

Where is Lost and Found 

Unfortunately, important items are sometimes misplaced. If 

you do lose a personal possession while on board, report it 

to Lost and Found located at Guest Services. If you find an 

item belonging to another guest, please help us reunite it 

with its owner by turning it in there. Any item that remains 

unclaimed at the conclusion of the cruise will be sent to our 

executive offices in Miami. 

Tipping 

How much you tip is purely a personal matter and 

completely up to you. However, we do have many guests 

who ask for some guidelines in regard to what is 

appropriate. For your convenience, we automatically add the 

gratuities for your dining and stateroom services to your 

onboard Sail & Sign charge account. 

The total amount is $10.00 per guest, per day (our 

recommended guideline) as follows: 

$ 3.50 Per Day Stateroom Services 

$ 5.50 Per Day Dining Room Services 

$ 1.00 Per Day Alternative Services: distributed to other 

kitchen and hotel service staff 

Our Staff is totally committed to exceed your expectations 

in every way possible. If you are not satisfied with the 

service you receive, we encourage you to contact Guest 

Services while onboard.This will allow us to address your 

concerns in a timely and appropriate fashion. 

At your discretion, you may adjust the gratuities at any time. 

For beverage purchases, fifteen percent of the bill is 

automatically added to the Sail & Sign charge. Room Service 

staff may be tipped as service is rendered.Tipping your 

Maître d’ is at your discretion, based upon the service 

you receive.

onboard. However, guests (21 years and older only) may 

bring one bottle of wine or champagne per guest on board 

only during embarkation at the beginning of the cruise. A 

$10 corkage fee per bottle will be charged should you wish 

to consume this wine in the dining room or a $14 corkage 

fee per bottle in the Supper Club. Guests may bring a small 


quantity of non-alcoholic beverages. Only small size personal 

coolers approximately 12"H X 12"W X 12"L in size, which 

can hold 6-12 cans of non-alcoholic beverages, will be 

allowed onboard.

under the age of 21. We reserve the right to refuse the sale 

of alcoholic beverages to anyone. Alcoholic beverages 

purchased in the ship's gift shops or in ports of call will be 

retained by Carnival until the end of the voyage. 

Can I do my laundry

on the stateroom decks, each with two or three coinoperated 

washers and dryers and one iron and ironing 

board.Vending machines dispense single-use packages of 

detergent and softener.Washing machines are not available 

while the ship is in port. 

In addition, there is also valet laundry service on board for 

washing and/or pressing for a fee. Dry cleaning is not 

available. Service is handled through your Room Steward.

the Outside World 

Can I make and receive telephone calls 

You can direct-dial your family and friends via satellite from 

your stateroom at any time during your cruise. Information, 

instructions and charges are found in the ship’s directory in 

your stateroom. Please note that since communications at 

sea are via satellite, guests cannot use calling cards, credit 

cards or dial collect.Your friends and family can also contact 

you via the Maritime Telecommunications Network (MTN) 

Shore-to-Ship telephone service by calling 1-877-CCLSHIP 

(1-877-225-7447) or 1-732-335-3284. A nominal per-minute 

charge applies. 

Will my cell phone work out at sea

International roaming charges will apply. Call your cell phone 

carrier for more details. 

Where do I mail a postcard 

Mail postcards at Guest Services. You can also buy local 

stamps there since postal regulations of the various ports 

require that you use local stamps. 

Can I check my e-mail and surf the Internet 

Stay in contact with loved ones back home by e-mail or 

instant messaging.The Internet Café is open 24-hours a day, 

with a manager on hand during posted times. It features 

private workstations with the latest flat-panel computer 

terminals, which are equipped with WordPad. The Internet

Going Ashore 

Shore Excursions 

Participating in a shore excursion is the best way to get the 

most out of your visit to each port of call. It relieves you from 

having to make your own sightseeing arrangements and gives 

you the opportunity to see the highlights. Carnival constantly 

upgrades the shore excursion packages to make sure the best 

possible selections are available.Your choices range from 

island sightseeing trips to fun-filled Jeep® adventures, 

horseback riding, snorkeling, canopy tours, and many other 

exciting activities. 

All guests with a fully deposited “Fun Ship” cruise booking can 

pre-purchase shore excursions up to 120 days prior to the 

sail date by using their booking number to register online at 

carnival.com/shoreexcursions. Once registered, you will have 

access to all of the shore excursions and pricing applicable to 

your specific itinerary. Pre-purchased shore excursions will be 

confirmed online at carnival.com, and tickets will be delivered 


to your stateroom on the first day of the cruise. Review your 

tickets carefully, paying special attention to the meeting place 

and departure time as this information may have changed 

between the time of booking and your sail date. 

Shore excursion descriptions and ordering information can 

also be found in your stateroom. Further information can be 

obtained at the Shore Excursion Desk as well as Guest 

Services in the main lobby. Your Cruise Director and Shore 

Excursion Manager will hold an informational Travel Talk 

during the cruise. Please consult your Carnival Capers for time 

and location. 

Your Shore Excursion staff is dedicated to helping you make 

the most out of each port of call on your cruise. If you have 

any questions regarding the excursions offered, stop by the 

Shore Excursion Desk and the staff can help you make the 

right choices. 

Please note all excursions are operated by independent 

on-shore vendors and are sold on board as a convenience to 

our guests. Guests engage in all activities off the vessel at 

their own risk. 

Boarding Card and Ship Access 

Your Sail & Sign card will serve as your boarding card.This 

card identifies you as a Carnival guest and must be carried 

with you, along with picture identification, when you go 

ashore. Since the ship is closed to the public while docked at 

the various ports of call, you’ll have to show your Sail & Sign 

Card and picture I.D. to the officer on duty in order to return 

on board. 

Will I have any problems with money on shore 

U.S. currency and traveler’s checks are accepted at most 

ports of call we visit. Store owners will honor most credit 

cards but personal checks aren’t usually accepted. 


Can I use the ship in port 

Yes, by all means.While in port your ship is still your home, 

and you should feel free to leave or return any time, day 

or night. 

Language is No Barrier 

You won’t encounter any language problems. Everyone speaks 

English, even if it is with a slightly different accent. 

Hospitality 

The majority of residents at our ports of call are friendly and 

anxious to serve you.They recognize the importance 

of tourism to their economy and do their best to make you 

feel welcome. However, it is important to use common sense 

when visiting a port of call and to remember the general 

rules of safety and security when walking in foreign cities. 


Coming Home 

Disembarking 

All guests must present proof of citizenship to an inspector 

from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security upon 

disembarking the vessel. Carnival strongly recommends that 

you travel with a passport since this will expedite your 

debarkation process.You will also need to have your 

Sail & Sign card on hand to “check out” of the ship’s 

security system. 

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 vesel 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. 

Making Customs Easy 

Customs is rarely the ordeal many people imagine it will be. 

In fact, it is usually a formal but brief check of luggage and 

declared merchandise. Just remember that Customs 

inspectors are there to protect us from smugglers and 

illegal imports, not to harass happy travelers. Everyone and 

everything must clear Customs.Your cooperation will make it 

easier for all involved. 

What do I have to fill out 

Part of going through Customs consists of declaring 

merchandise you have purchased abroad and are bringing 

back into the country.You will fill out a Customs Declaration 

Form while on board and present it to the Customs 

inspector when going through Customs. 


The instructions on the form are self-explanatory. However, 

you will also find a thorough explanation of Customs 

procedures and debarkation procedures in Carnival Capers on 

the last evening of your cruise. In addition, your Cruise 

Director will provide a debarkation briefing prior to the last 

day. If you have any questions please feel free to ask our staff. 

What do I have to declare 

You must declare all merchandise you have purchased or 

acquired abroad and are bringing back into the United States 

or Canada.That includes items you have purchased in dutyfree 

shops and in port as well as items you have received as 

gifts. It also includes items you have begun to use or are 

wearing. However, it does not include items that have been 

shipped directly from Mexico, the Cayman Islands or Canada 

which will be assessed a duty when they enter the country. 

Items shipped back from other countries must be declared 

and Customs Form 255 filled out upon your return to the 

United States. 

What is my duty-free allowance 

for foreign purchases 

For cruises that call at any of the U.S.Virgin Islands, U.S. 

residents are permitted up to $1,600 (retail) of duty-free 

purchases, including five liters of liquor per adult, of which at 

least one must be a product of the U.S.Virgin Islands. Of the 

$1,600, no more than $800, including one liter of liquor, one 

carton of cigarettes and 100 cigars (non-Cuban), may be 

purchased in other ports or on board. U.S. residents sailing 

along the West Coast and on cruises from New York are 

allowed up to $800 (retail), including one liter of liquor, one 

carton of cigarettes and 100 cigars (non-Cuban) per adult. 

For all other ships, U.S. residents are allowed up to $800 

(retail), including two liters of liquor per adult, depending on 

the port of purchase. Other restrictions may apply. Specific 

information will be provided aboard ship. Non-U.S. residents 

must comply with Customs laws in their country. Check with 

Customs for guidelines on current requirements. 

For more information on Duty-Free allowances, please check 

www.cbp.gov.

Important Information 

Safety Precautions 

Fires are dangerous. For this reason, we ask that everyone 

adhere to the following fire safety rules. Please do not smoke 

in bed. Please refrain from throwing any items 

overboard, including cigarettes, matches or hot ashes; they can 

blow back into the ship and create a fire hazard. Prior 

to leaving your stateroom and at night, bring in all personal 

belongings and towels left on the balcony. For your 

convenience, we have placed ashtrays in various locations 

throughout the ship. Please properly extinguish smoking 

materials and smoke only in our smoking designated areas. 

Never leave smoking materials unattended.Thank you in 

advance for your cooperation. 

While you are getting used to the layout of the ship, be 

careful in doorways, on thresholds and stairs, and watch your 

step. Please use the stair’s handrails when ascending and 

descending. 

In the stateroom we recommend that you keep the floor 

clear of obstructions. It is a good idea to leave a light on at 

night (such as the bathroom light) so when you awaken you 

can see the stateroom clearly.The use of irons, heating pads 

and candles is prohibited in the staterooms. Make certain to 

unplug curling irons when not in use. 

For everyone’s safety, we ask that you do not run through the 

ship and that you take extra care on wet decks. Children are 

especially requested not to run or play on the stairways. 

When entering or leaving a room, be careful of the doorsills. 

You will find a ladder in your cabin to get in and out of the 

upper berths.When you use it, make sure it is firmly secured. 

Your Stateroom Steward will be happy to assist you.You will 

also find safety hooks on some of the furniture which we ask 

you not to remove. 

Cloud 9 SpaSM Staterooms and Suites 

To provide a heavenly atmosphere and ensure all guests enjoy 

their stay, the Cloud 9 Spa, available on Carnival SplendorSM 

will be a smoke-free environment. All Cloud 9 Spa 

staterooms and suites have been designated as non-smoking 

areas with smoking strictly prohibited. In order to preserve 

the Cloud 9 Spa standards and ensure staterooms are free of 

smoke residue, Carnival will assess a $250 reconditioning fee 

per spa stateroom for guests that do not comply with the 

non-smoking policy. This fee will cover the cost of deepcleaning 

required to restore the room back to its original 

smoke free condition. 


Emergency Drills 

Prior to sailing, everyone will go through a mandatory Safety 

Drill. If at any time you hear the emergency signal, put on 

your life preserver and go to your Muster Station.You will find 

the location of your station by reading the instructions posted 

in your cabin.The Captain and his officers will direct you once 

you have reached your Muster Station. Remember that these 

drills are performed in the interest of guest safety.They are 

conducted in accordance with the rules of the International 

Convention for Safety of Life at Sea, signed in London in 

1948. All Carnival ships meet international safety standards 

developed in 1960 for new ships and meet the latest fire 

safety requirements. 

Life Jackets 

Life jackets are required for everyone. Make sure that there 

are sufficient life jackets for each person in your stateroom at 

embarkation time. If there are not, speak to your Stateroom 

Steward who will locate additional jackets. Children’s life 

jackets are available upon request. 

Ship’s Plumbing 

All guests are requested not to throw extraneous objects 

into the wash basins or toilets.The drain pipes are sensitive 

and repairs may be difficult while the ship is at sea or in 

foreign ports. Please use the wastebaskets and receptacles in 

the bathrooms.
