The first task was to complete the Online Check-In process. A series of personal information pages collects information such as passport numbers, email addresses, emergency contact information, etc. While there are a lot of perks for traveling via cruise ship, there are some facilities available on most cruise ships that may surprise you. From joyous occasions to celebrations of life, here are some extraordinary services cruise ships offer. Hi, we are Chris and Rickee and we have been cruise journalists since 2002.
Shipboard Health and Safety
Cruise lines work with guests to determine burial time and place. Guests are usually taken to a more secluded part of the ship and given privacy for scattering the remains. The remains are generally required to be in a biodegradable urn and some cruise lines require the entire urn to be tossed into the sea. Completing the Guest Information forms was pretty straightforward otherwise.
Do cruise ships have hospitals?
Check with your cruise line for availability and details. I have more success with Internet Explorer but there are still times when it doesn't display correctly. Just undergoing some routine site maintenance so everything that's supposed to zig, zag and zoom does exactly that." I normally use Chrome but Carnival website seems to hate that.
Online Check-in and Arrival Appointment
The website now lets you select an "Arrival Appointment", or embarkation time. I think we will select the latest time available to avoid the large crowds. Our experience has shown that it is better to be one of the last to board. One thing that the website does not allow is any changes to the spelling of guest names.

Travel Documents and Online Check-In Carnival wants to make boarding your "Fun Ship" cruise as easy as possible. The links below will supply you with important information on the Carnival embarkation process. Most commonly asked questions can be answered by reviewing this section. If you are still unable to find what you are looking for, please contact us, and a Carnival representative will be happy to help you.
This is something that Carnival should add to the other restaurant reservations pages. The other thing that would be nice to know is the dress code for each evening. I looked everywhere and could not find that information.

Nevertheless, you have to compare with what you pay for a drink at one of the ship's lounges. It is probably a good value from that standpoint, but you have to consume it in the stateroom. If I am going to sit in a small room and drink Crown, I will do it at home!
Weddings? Burials at sea? Unexpected things you can do on a cruise ship besides cruising
Your health insurance may not cover you while you're on the ship and out of the country. Check with your provider before boarding and look into travel health insurance for concerns over recouping any out-of-pocket costs. For example, many cruise ships have a small jail, called a brig. The brig is generally located on one of the bottom decks.
Tried to print boarding passes, etc and I couldn't even view it. Western Caribbean cruises are also offered later in the summer. One takes place June 30 to July 7 and July 28 to August 4 and sails through Mahogany Bay, Belize and Cozumel. Carnival Liberty has two Western Caribbean cruises sailing from New Orleans in June.
We wanted restaurant reservations on "casual" nights so that we did not have to meet any "elegant" dress code. On "elegant/formal" nights, we would just dine in the buffet or skip dinner altogether so we don't have to pack any dressy clothes. I printed my documents out a couple of weeks ago but I like to check again to be sure everything is still set up correctly and no changes. For more cruising information, have a read of the nearby tabs.
But there are some lesser-known accommodations available on most cruise ships. We're lucky in Florida, home to some of the world's busiest cruise ports including PortMiami, Port Canaveral, Port Everglades, Port Tampa Bay, JAXPORT, and Port of Palm Beach. There is also a port in Key West, but this is mainly used for cruise ship calls rather than a homeport.
You'll need to have your Booking Name, Booking Reference Number, Valid Passport and Credit Card Details on hand to complete all of your check-in details. Your actual check-in time can be selected up to 14 before you sail. Many cruise lines, including Disney Cruise Lines, Carnival and Royal Caribbean, offer weddings and wedding renewals aboard the ship or at scenic tropical locations. Soft drink prices are also reasonable compared to what you will pay in a ship's lounge, but the alcoholic beverages can get pricey. A bottle of Crown Royal is $95, which I can buy at home for $21.
For example, 50 non-sailing guests can take part in weddings aboard Carnival Cruise Line ships before the cruise sails from the port of embarkation. Once we received our booking number for our Carnival Vista cruise, we went to Carnival.com to access the My Cruise Manager section. Once you create an account on the Carnival.com website, you can manage multiple bookings.
However, if you are a big drinker (by my standards), you are better off with Carnival's Cheers and Bottomless Bubbles package for $49.95 per day/per person ($54.95 on board). If I tried to have five drinks a day, I would pass out after number three! But, for some, $50 per day for drinks is not unheard of and you have the added convenience of not having to keep track of how much you’ve spent on drinks during the cruise. I also noticed that only the reservation page for the Steakhouse gave the dining charge ($35/pp).
From May 26 to June 2, the ship will stop in Key West, Freeport and Nassau before returning to the Crescent City. Other spaces, including the casino, spa and youth area, were redesigned. Frequent cruisers may notice the new decor and furnishings across all public areas on the ship. Another ship, Carnival Glory, went on an over two-week-long hiatus to upgrade several spots on the ship, the news release said. A new bar and lounge dedicated to Army veterans and active duty military and a photography studio are some of the latest additions.
The destinations include Mahogany Bay, Belize and Cozumel. Misbehavior or breaking the law on a cruise ship can see you confined to your cabin or locked up in the brig. Royal Caribbean allows for 75 of 150 wedding guests to be non-sailing. NCL permits up to 10 non-sailing guests free of charge, but a reception must be booked if you have up to 50 guests who are not sailing. Most people know cruises offer a great value and are nearly all-inclusive with good food, accommodations and entertainment.
