<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Carnival
does an outstanding job of making sure that their guests have the most
luxurious vacation possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
includes making the guest forget that they are actually on a ship; which is
easy to do when you see the amazing shopping that is offered on your cruise!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The Fun
Shops of Carnival are a luxurious retail experience in the middle of the
sea.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here you will find retail favorites
like fine jewelry, designer watches, perfumes, ship logo apparel, souvenirs, liquor, and
tobacco.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">You will
find unique and dazzling jewelry to meet every price point.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Designer watches can also be found
onboard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We loved the prices, which are
fantastic, especially when you factor in that they are tax and duty free!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
The Fun Shops of Carnival are also the perfect place to pick up your favorite perfume or cologne! You will find all of your favorites along with island inspired scents and international best-sellers.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">You will
also find Carnival Logo merchandise and apparel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These include plush animals, like the towel
animals that you find in your stateroom at night, Carnival shirts, frames,
beach towels, swim wear, Freddy Funship gear, and specialized souvenirs celebrating
your ship!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Perhaps the
most popular shopping onboard is the liquor and tobacco section.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here you will find all of your favorite names
in liquor and tobacco.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These goods can
be purchased at lowest-retail-prices and are also duty-free and tax free!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t forget the ships alcohol policy,
though!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Any alcohol that is purchased
onboard will be stored until the end of your cruise.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Ever wondered what activities are offered onboard Carnival
Cruises?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have picked a few of our
favorites to tell you about!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">An itinerary will be left in your room each day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It will have a list of the events and their
locations for the next day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’ll want
to check the schedule the night before and make a plan to participate in these
hilarious and entertaining offerings!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Prizes vary with each game but they almost always include the coveted
Carnival trophy, affectionately known as, “Ship on a Stick.”</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The activities featured during each cruise are chosen by the
Cruise Director and will vary with each ship and each sail date.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-MqRrPTZaA-RLl7G4cD6RQI4RpDrw15ks2KptVTF29E8kKH6j_HVD2pS_G46tUmt9-eUJLsax6TJs6Ezj7eLsHjrQR_k_zjqOQixTWW-l2hT7Fh8cStBDDJjfwlppqBLxzNrRlxajDXY/s1600/CL_DR_Encore_B_011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-MqRrPTZaA-RLl7G4cD6RQI4RpDrw15ks2KptVTF29E8kKH6j_HVD2pS_G46tUmt9-eUJLsax6TJs6Ezj7eLsHjrQR_k_zjqOQixTWW-l2hT7Fh8cStBDDJjfwlppqBLxzNrRlxajDXY/s400/CL_DR_Encore_B_011.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Horse Racing<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This fun game of chance is usually held in one of the
lounges during the morning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wooden
horses are placed on the stage and compete in races while the audience places
bets for the winners!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The movements of
the horses are controlled by the roll of dice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This activity is designed purely for fun so the bets and pay-outs are
relatively small.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We highly recommend
this crowd-pleaser!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Bingo<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Bingo can be found in the main theater at various times
throughout the day and almost always precede the evening shows.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You must be at least 18 to purchase a
card.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cards are $10 each or 3 for
$20.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The prizes can be in the hundreds
of dollars and EVERY winner is entered into a drawing for a free cruise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We recommend this game because of these great
prizes!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Trivia Games<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Trivia-style games are a staple
on Carnival Cruises!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are many
different styles of trivia that are played ranging from multi-category, Jeopardy-esque
games to themed challenges like movies, music, or sports.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Contestants are picked from audience
volunteers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The winners receive a Carnival
Trophy and, if over 21, a bottle of champagne.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Newly Wed Game<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Guests always rave about the
Newly Wed Game!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is held at least once
during each cruise in the main lounge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The contestants are chosen from audience volunteers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A newly married couple, a couple who has been
married over 10 years, and the longest married couple in the audience are
usually selected.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The couples will sit
back to back and answer questions, occasionally very embarrassing questions, in
an effort to determine which couple knows each other best.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These games are always full of humor and
entertainment!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You definitely don’t want
to miss out!</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Scavenger Hunt<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This one is for adults only!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is played in one of the lounges.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Volunteers from the audience will be grouped
together into teams.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They will then
scavenge the audience for off-the-wall items like a man in women’s shoes, empty
purses, yellow flip flops, or a man’s pants (don’t worry, the game stays
PG13)!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is one of the most hilarious
offerings on the ship!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Lido Deck and Pool Games<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If you are looking for hilarious
outdoor entertainment then you’ll want to head to the Lido Deck!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here you will find dance contests (serious
dancers won’t stand a chance), belly flop contests, and hairy leg contests,
just to name a few.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These activities
are definitely designed for guests who aren’t afraid to laugh at
themselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Get ready to have the whole
ship laughing with you!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We’ve saved our favorites for the
end!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Shipbuilding Competition<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Put all those years of watching
MacGyver to good use with this contest!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You’ll be given a limited amount of time to scavenge the ship for
boat-building materials (think straws, cans, hair ties, and upside down
hats).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’ll then construct your boat
and put it to the test in the pool!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
audience will create a “storm” by splashing and kicking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The boat that floats the longest is the
winner of a Carnival trophy!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And our very favorite…</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">Survivor Challenge<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is the one event onboard
that might very well make you famous, at least for the duration of your
cruise!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Located in the ships main pool
area, guests will be asked to throw their names into a bucket.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Four lucky men and four lucky women will have
their names drawn to compete in wacky challenges!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These vary but usually include a group
scavenger hunt (where the whole group is tied together but each competing for
their own items), a breath-holding contest in the pool, a pool or deck relay
involving an egg and a spoon, a handless eating contest, and more!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The competitors are eliminated by losing or
failing the challenges.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once the field
is narrowed down to two the audience votes for their favorite!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The winner will receive the title of
“Carnival Survivor,” and receive a special prize (like a free shore excursion),
not to mention, instant notoriety!</span><br />

different wineries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the drive through
the country side your guide will provide you with a brief and fascinating
history of the area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once you arrive at
the wineries you will tour the facility and sample the wine, brandy, sherry,

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">One of the most frequently asked questions by first time
cruisers is how tipping and gratuities work on cruises.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are going to break down Carnival’s
recommendations and the various options that you have!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Remember that, first and foremost, tipping amounts and
frequencies are ultimately your choice.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You have the freedom to tip whomever you would like as much as you would
like.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tipping is considered standard practice
though, and should definitely be figured in to your cruising budget!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Carnival has created guidelines and programs to remove the
guesswork from tipping.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Carnival’s
recommended gratuity is $11.50 per guest, per day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This may seem like a large amount, especially
if you are taking a 6-10 day or longer cruise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But, when we break down the amount and see the large number of services that
it covers, it’s easy to see that this is a very budget-friendly tip!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Here’s the breakdown:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>$5.80 is applied toward Dining Room Services.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This includes both formal and informal
dining.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Gratuities for Dining Services
should be figured into your budget regardless of which dining options you
use.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>$3.70 will go toward Stateroom
Services.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will be dispersed to the
staff responsible for keeping your room clean and well stocked throughout your
cruise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And don’t forget about the people
who create those awesome towel animals!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The remaining $2.00 goes to Alternative Services.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the catch all category.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It covers all of the fun activities and little
extras that Carnival offers its guests like the amazing kitchen staff,
entertainment, and guest services.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Now that you know how much to tip and who to tip, let’s go
over when to tip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Carnival has several
different options available to you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The first option is to tip as you go.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In other words, you will tip for services
throughout the day just as you would at any restaurant, resort, or hotel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The second option is the Pre-Paid Gratuities program.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This program allows you to pre-arrange the
amount in gratuities you will pay on your cruise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will pay the amount prior to your sail
date.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These amounts may be adjusted at <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Guest Services.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i>(If for example, you received exceptional
service and wanted to increase your tip to a certain staff member.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Be sure to make any adjustments prior to your
last day onboard!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The third option is the Gratuity Program.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This program automatically charges gratuities
to your <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sail & Sign</i> account on the
day of embarkation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">You will also find specially designated note cards and
envelopes in your stateroom your last night onboard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These can be used to send special notes and
additional tips to staff members.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
is a great way to thank the people who made your cruise extraordinary!</span></div>Vacation Tour and Travelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08790030850604942369noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5800313452803208379.post-91532491427054068302012-05-24T12:11:00.000-07:002012-05-24T12:11:00.991-07:00Pack Your Bags!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Packing for travel can be an interesting challenge with all
of today’s rules and regulations regarding luggage size and weight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Check out Carnival’s unique set of
requirements and some helpful tips when packing for your next cruise!</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Carnival encourages their guests to bring only two bags per
person.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These bags should not weigh more
than 50 lbs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Checked baggage should not
exceed 16” (H) x 24” (W) with no length restrictions.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
***Helpful Hint*** Be sure to unlock your luggage before
handing it over to porters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will
speed up the security screening process!</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
If you are traveling by air you will definitely want to
check with your airline regarding their specific luggage restrictions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Carnival is not responsible for any
discrepancy between their baggage restrictions and the airlines or any fees
that you might have to pay your airline for baggage.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
You will want to print your luggage tags for any checked
bags before you leave for your cruise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
can be found online with the rest of your E-documents.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The luggage tags will identify you by your
name, booking number, departure date, stateroom number, and VIP status (if
applicable).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you need additional tags
you may get them from the curbside porters found at the embarkation port.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
***Helpful Hint***<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
curbside porters are there to assist you with your luggage check-in and to
transport your luggage onboard the ship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Don’t forget to tip them for their services!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The standard rate is $1 per bag!</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
You may also bring carry-on luggage onboard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This type of luggage should be no larger than
16” (H) x 24” (W), otherwise it must be checked and given to the porter.</div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
You will want to keep all travel necessities with you in
your carry on!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These include travel
documents, money, identification, and medications.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all know how easily luggage can be lost
when flying.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the event your luggage
was lost in transit to your cruise, you would still be able to board your
cruise if you carry your necessary items with you!</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
No large coolers or family-sized coolers are permitted
onboard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may carry personal-sized
coolers, like soft-sided, insulated lunch boxes with you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These types of coolers may not exceed 12” x
12.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They may be used to carry very
limited amounts of liquids, baby formula or food, and medications.</div>

***Helpful Hint***<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If
you are planning on dressing up for Carnival’s Cruise Elegant evenings you can
avoid having to travel with a garment bag if you place your formal dress wear
in dry cleaning bags (a separate bag for each item) and roll it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The bags will help protect your clothing and
prevent wrinkling!</div>Vacation Tour and Travelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08790030850604942369noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5800313452803208379.post-2010132205597954472012-05-17T09:52:00.003-07:002012-05-17T12:23:25.500-07:00Do I Need A Passport?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the most frequently asked questions by people
preparing for a cruise is whether or not they need a passport to take their
cruise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here we will give you a
definitive answer!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Carnival strongly recommends that you travel with a passport
on your cruise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Other documentation may
be used to verify citizenship and allow you to board.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are several reasons why they recommend
you carry your passport and why it is the safest option for travelers!</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you travel with a passport it will expedite the embarkation
and debarkation process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those who do
not travel with a passport can expect significant delays during embarkation and
debarkation because of the time that must be taken to verify citizenship and
identification.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Safety is the number one reason why it is recommended that
you travel with a passport.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Should you
miss the boat at any port, having a passport would allow you to travel via air
to meet the boat at its next port of call.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Also, should an emergency force you to return to the U.S. prior to the
end of your cruise, you would be allowed to fly back to the U.S. in a timely
manner.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u><span style="font-size: large;">What other
documentation must I have when I travel?<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
For all cruises beginning or ending in the U.S. you must
travel with proof of citizenship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Proof
of Citizenship must be in the form of a state issued birth certificate (or, as mentioned
earlier, passport). Certificates issued by a hospital or medical center will not be sufficient.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You must also have
proof of identification.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This may be
presented in the form of state issued driver’s license or photo I.D.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(Obviously, travelers whose cruises begin or end in a
foreign country must have a valid passport! Also, if your cruise begins and ends in two different locations, i.e. it is not a closed loop, you MUST have a passport!)</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u><span style="font-size: large;">What if my name
has changed or will change?<o:p></o:p></span></u></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
For those of you who will be traveling immediate following a
legal name change (for example, brides traveling on their honeymoon), you will
want to be cautious about which name you use to book your travel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is recommended that you book your cruise
under your maiden name unless you plan on having your name legally changed on
your identification prior to boarding.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If you book the cruise under your married name but you arrive with
identification that lists your maiden name you must provide a marriage
certificate or license in order to be allowed onboard.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">*Please note that this blog provides information pertaining
to U.S. citizens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Requirements for
non-citizens vary and should be addressed by your VTT Cruise Agent.</span>Vacation Tour and Travelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08790030850604942369noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5800313452803208379.post-53881836441943430042012-05-16T09:19:00.003-07:002012-05-17T09:53:06.863-07:00High Rolling on the High Seas<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">The onboard casino, whose theme and décor vary from ship to
ship, is open during the majority of your cruise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, there are a few occasions during
which it will be closed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These include
any time that your ship is in port.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
only exceptions occur when ships are in port overnight, like at Nassau.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The casino will open during evening hours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The casino may also stay open if you are in
port at Half Moon Cay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Half Moon Cay is
Carnival’s private island and the casino may stay open at the discretion of the

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Carnival has always been known as a company that strives to exceed
the expectations of its travelers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
keeping with that tradition, they recently updated their Smoking Policy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here, we will briefly review the changes to
their smoking policy and how it might affect your upcoming cruise!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u><span style="font-size: x-small;">Staterooms<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">There is no such thing as a smoking or non-smoking cabin on
board Carnival’s ships.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You are not
allowed to smoke inside any stateroom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However, Carnival does allow guests who are staying in a balcony room to
smoke outside on that balcony.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The only exception to this rule is for Spa rooms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is no smoking allowed in any spa room
or on any balconies outside of spa rooms!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">You will receive a $250 penalty, charged to your <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sail & Sign</i> account, if you are
caught smoking in your state room!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u><span style="font-size: x-small;">Public Areas</span></u></b></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">All public areas onboard Carnival’s ships are smoke
free.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Past guests will remember that
most ships have cigar bars.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These cigar
bars are now deemed smoke free, as well.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">You may smoke in designated areas within the casino and
casino bar, as well as the dance clubs, jazz clubs, and piano bars.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Smoking is also restricted on the ship’s exterior.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may only smoke in designated areas on
certain decks.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">For those of you who smoke cigars or tobacco pipes, you will
experience further limitations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cigars
and tobacco pipes may only be enjoyed in some designated smoking areas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For others, such as the exterior smoking
areas, they are prohibited!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">You may be wondering why Carnival decided to change its
policy…</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Carnival goes to great lengths to keep in trend with
consumer wants and needs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After
extensive research amongst past and current travelers, Carnival found that 90%
of people would prefer to travel in a non-smoking environment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Research also showed that the majority of
contemporary cruising companies also employed strict regulations on where
guests could smoke.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Many have asked why Carnival chose not to go 100% smoke
free.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The answer is simple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is not the wish of Carnival to
discriminate against any traveler.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is
their hope that this new policy will cater to all travelers and allowed them to
have the most fun possible at sea!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Spa Carnival </span></i><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">is a fully-equipped, floating
retreat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It offers all of your favorite
spa amenities, plus, a few that are unique to your ocean setting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whether you’re an avid spa-goer or you’re
simply looking to indulge yourself while onboard, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Spa Carnival </i>is the ideal spa escape!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Let’s begin
with essential spa treatments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Spa Carnival</i> offers many exotic facials
that will rejuvenate your skin and leave you feeling relaxed and youthful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A few of our favorites are the microdermabrasion,
the tri-enzyme resurfacing, and the oxydermy facial.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of you are familiar with
microdermabrasion facials as they are quite common in many spas, so let’s talk
a little bit about the others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
tri-enzyme facial, like all of the others, last roughly 50 minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We love it because it targets so many
different facial problems and we always see results after we use it!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s designed to reduce fine lines, pigment
variations, and acne scars.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also
highly recommend the oxydermy facial!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This facial combines microdermabrasion and the deeply rejuvenating
effects of oxygen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many treatments claim
to leave your skin “glowing,” when in actuality your face is just shiny from a
moisturizing product and red from contact.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This treatment will <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">actually</i>
leave your skin glowing!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We found that our

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">What would a
spa be without massages?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Spa Carnival</i> offers a wide variety of
massage techniques that will alleviate muscle tension and send you into a deep
state of relaxation!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will not find a
spa like this on land.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Spa Carnival</i> offers amazing treatments
with breathtaking views of the ocean!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>One of our favorite massages is the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Bamboo</i>
massage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This massage immerses you in
the tropical spirit of your locale.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>During this massage bamboo rods, soaked in oils, are rolled over your
muscles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your tension will literally
melt away!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are looking for more
intensive muscle relaxation, check out the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ice-Cool
thermal muscle massage</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
personalized massage targets the areas where you carry stress.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We love this treatment because the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">tri-enzyme facial</i> is included!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will also find traditional spa offerings

</span></i>Here you will feel weightless, as though floating in water, without

</span>Warm oils are rubbed over your body before the lime and ginger salt is
applied.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The exfoliating salt is washed
away and replaced with a lightly scented lotion which leaves your skin feeling
as smooth as a flower petal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To top it
off, you’ll receive a complimentary muscle-soothing body massage!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We call this perfection! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Part
Six:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Parking and Embarking<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">It’s finally
here!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’re ready to depart for your
cruise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The last part of this series will
focus on everything you need for debarkation!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Before you
leave home you need to complete your registration online.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will allow you access to your
e-docs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These include your <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Fun Pass</i>, boarding pass, and luggage
tags.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(If you did not print enough
luggage tags for all of your bags you may obtain more from the curb-side
porters.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Carnival prefers that you
limit your baggage to two suitcases per guest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Luggage should not weigh more than 50 lbs per bag.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you’re flying you will want to check with
your airline about specific luggage requirements since many airlines charge for
overweight bags and additional bags.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Carnival won’t be responsible for any charges incurred by your airline
for additional or overweight baggage. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">There are
two primary ways to reach your debarkation port.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Obviously, if you’re driving, you will arrive
by personal vehicle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you’re flying,
you will either arrive by rental car, taxi, or shuttle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Let’s run
through the procedure for those of you who are flying:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">If you’ve
arranged for a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Carnival </i>transfer then
you will be met by <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Meet and Greet</i>
staff after your flight lands.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Depending
on the airport at which you arrive, you will be met at the arrival gate, past
the security checkpoint, or at baggage claim.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You will be responsible for claiming your own luggage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After that is done you will be led by the staff
to the awaiting motor coach.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The coach
will depart once it is full.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">When you
arrive at the cruise terminal you will gather your bags and begin the check-in
process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your carry-on luggage may stay
with you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anything larger than a
carry-on will be handled by the porter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is a great time to make sure that all of your bags are unlocked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If your bag is locked it could be delayed
during the security screening process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Having the bag unlocked will ensure that it arrives quickly to your
stateroom (usually long before you arrive there, yourself).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The porter service will take your bags and
you will not see them again until you are in your stateroom so it is important
to keep all valuables, medicines, travel documents, IDs, etc. with you!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t forget to tip the porter (standard rate
is $1.00 per bag)!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">If you are
arriving via taxi or personal vehicle you will go through a similar
process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When you arrive at the port you
will be required by port authority to show your boarding pass and ID.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They will direct you to the baggage
drop-off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will then unload your luggage
and pass it along to the porters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t
forget that you will need luggage tags, as well!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After unloading your bags you will proceed to
the parking area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Parking fees range
from $8.00 - $30.00 per day, depending on your debarkation port.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some parking areas require you to pay up
front (at the time you enter the parking facility).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Others will not require you to pay until you
leave the facility.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of the parking
areas are well lit and secured.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of
them are covered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Regardless
of your arrival method, you will proceed to the check-in area once your luggage
has been taken by the porters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When you
enter the lobby of the debarkation terminal you will be asked to present your
boarding pass.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then you will proceed to
the x-ray security check-point where your carry-on items will be scanned.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

ready to board!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You and your fellow
guests will have your <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Welcome Aboard</i>

on your <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sail & Sign</i> card.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This photo, which will appear each time your
card is scanned at the kiosk, allows for quick debarkation/embarkation because
security personnel will not have to manually check each travelers ID to the

though!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There will be times when you

<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">10.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shoes, shoes,
shoes:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will definitely want to pack
rubber-soled shoes!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A non-slip shoe is
perfect while aboard the boat and when you are in port!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Women will want to bring at least one pair of
slightly dressier shoes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We don’t
recommend high heels unless you are planning to wear them to dinner and then
change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Gentlemen will want to pack a
nice pair of sandals, dress shoes, or loafers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>No beach flip flops will be allowed in the dining room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And tell the kids to leave the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Heely’s</i> at home!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No shoes with wheels will be allowed onboard.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">9.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cruise Casual </i>for the Ladies:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will want to pack plenty of shorts, tank
tops, polos, and sundresses in addition to your beachwear!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Comfortable, casual clothing is recommended
throughout your cruise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t forget to
take into account the activities you’ll be taking part in during
excursions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you’ll be doing physical
activities like hiking or a city tour, you will want to dress accordingly!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">8.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cruise Casual </i>for the Guys:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Gentlemen, you will want to pack a
combination of athletic clothing and casual clothing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remember that your number one priority on
board is to be comfortable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will
have to pack some nicer khaki shorts (or other dress shorts) and collared
shirts for dinners in the dining room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But otherwise, we advise you to stick to your favorite “Saturday Out”
clothing!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">7.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Cruise Elegant</i>:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For those of you on a 3-5 day cruise you will
have one elegant evening in the dining room (There will be two elegant evenings
on cruises lasting longer than 6 days).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>For the guys, this means slacks or khaki pants.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No shorts will be allowed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will also want to wear a collared shirt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t be afraid to go all out!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Suits and tuxedos will also be sported on
these evenings, but they certainly aren’t required!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the ladies, you will want to wear a
cocktail dress or skirt or slacks and blouse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Again, don’t be afraid to take advantage of this opportunity!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Formal dresses and ball gowns are perfectly
acceptable!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">6.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Watch out for
water!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will want to include a
waterproof pouch or pocket insert to hold things like cell phones or cameras
that you don’t want wet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We also
recommend putting your wallet or items of a personal nature, like I.D. and your
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sail & Sign </i>card inside.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These pouches are found anywhere camping
supplies are sold!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">5.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Think compact!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(This one is mostly for the ladies since men
tend to wear clothing with functional pockets!)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We recommend that you carry a compact wallet or wristlet purse as
opposed to a large hand bag.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are
many times while onboard that you will use your <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sail & Sign </i>card.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
find it to be a hassle to carry a purse everywhere on the ship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the guys:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>many men choose to wear a lanyard with an ID holder to carry their <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sail & Sign</i> card, ID, and money.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When you board the boat you will be required
to show your <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sail & Sign </i>card and
occasionally I.D.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is handy to have
these in an easily accessible place.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">4.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t forget the towels!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although you will find plenty of towels in
your stateroom, we recommend bringing a beach towel for each person.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This way you will have a towel to bring along
on excursions or while lying out on the beach or on deck.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">3.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t forget the sunscreen!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We cannot stress this enough!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will need sunscreen no matter what skin
type you have or how much time you usually spend in the sun!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The sun is more intense in the Bahamas and
Caribbean than most of us are accustomed to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>You’ll also want to pack lip balm to prevent your lips from chapping.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">2.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Swimwear!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We recommend that you pack at least two swimsuits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So many activities are water-based while
onboard or ashore.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You should feel free
to bring along more than two but we think two is adequate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can always send your bathing suits in the
ship’s laundry service where, for a nominal fee, they will wash and press it!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">1.)</span><span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wrinkles
Beware!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the number one packing
tip that we have for you!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For all of
your dresses, pants, slacks, skirts, etc, roll them in dry cleaning bags!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We aren’t sure why this works but it
does!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you place each article of
clothing in a dry cleaning bag and roll it before packing, it will greatly
reduce wrinkling!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />Vacation Tour and Travelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08790030850604942369noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5800313452803208379.post-51382094319088333862012-03-16T14:56:00.002-07:002012-03-16T14:56:54.248-07:00Part Four: Food Food and More Food<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>It’s finally here!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ve been dying to share this part with you!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s time to learn all about the amazing food
that you’ll find on your Carnival cruise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We promise no matter how simple or how complex your palette is you will
find a huge variety of foods to enjoy!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Cruises are the perfect opportunity
to explore cuisines that may be outside your comfort level. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What better time to experiment than while on
an all-inclusive cruise?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Try your first
Indian or Caribbean dish in the dining room…don’t like it…order something else
from the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Comfort Menu </i>or head to the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lido </i>deck for classic American dishes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Let’s start with breakfast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’ll want to kick the day off right so you’ll
have plenty of energy for your fun-filled itinerary!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You have lots of options!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">If you like to rise with the sun, you’ll find breakfast
available on the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lido </i>deck.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here you may enjoy coffee and danish, available
before the main dining room and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lido </i>deck
restaurant are open.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some ships also
offer freshly made breakfast burritos out on the deck!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Once the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lido </i>restaurant
is open you’ll have fun winding your way around a hot and cold buffet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The buffet has several different stations
featuring traditional breakfast fare.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our
favorite part…the made-to-order omelet station!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">If you want a formal breakfast, complete with waiter service,
you’ll want to check out the main dining room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Breakfast features open seating so you won’t necessarily be at your
assigned table or with your usual wait staff from dinner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The dining room is open from 7:00 a.m. to
9:00 a.m. on port days and 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on sea days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The menu in the dining room is very similar
to what you will find on the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lido </i>deck.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unless you’re looking for a quieter, more
personal breakfast experience, we don’t recommend one over the other.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’ll be thoroughly satisfied with the
options at both locations!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Lunch onboard the ship was made with the foodie
(self-described food lover and enthusiast) in mind!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will find more options than you could
possibly need!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our biggest problem
here:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>finding an opportunity to try them
all out!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">We’ll begin in the dining room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lunch is only available here on days that you
are at sea.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may dine any time
between 12:30 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There
is open seating just like breakfast.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each
meal features three courses:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a starter,
a main dish, and a dessert.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are
options to suit every preference including healthy options and international
fare.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The menu will offer different
features each day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here are a few of our
favorite starters, main dishes, and desserts:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

possibly be any more options….we move to the choices that are available 24

time of the day!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will love cruising
by to pick up a slice after the show in the theatre or after a couple of hours
on the dance floor!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The proverbial icing
on the cake…24 hour ice cream and frozen yogurt!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is our favorite feature of the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lido </i>deck, hands down!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

to this point, are complimentary!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There
are additional choices onboard that can be enjoyed for a nominal charge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most ships have a steakhouse, an Italian

Table.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></i>The specific types of
restaurants found onboard will vary by ship but they are similar, in theme, to

be disappointed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We hope you find time

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">You’re going
on an all-inclusive cruise…now, what does that really mean?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What are you really getting and what will you
have to pay a little more for….Let’s find out!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The most
obvious inclusion:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your Stateroom<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>You already know when you purchased
your cruise you were purchasing a stateroom onboard the ship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But did you also know that Carnival boasts
the largest staterooms of any cruise in the industry, across the board?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each stateroom features one of Carnival’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Comfort</i> beds.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These beds are a far cry from the cot-like
beds onboard other ships.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’ll have no
trouble resting peacefully onboard these boats!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The only problem we’ve ever found was in deciding when to go to
bed!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We always feel like we’re missing
something because there is no end to the fun on board these ships!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You could literally find something to do 24
hours a day!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">So, what
else is included?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How about food?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This is one of our favorite topics!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, we enjoy talking about it so much
our next post will be devoted entirely to food!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We’ll save the specifics about menus and the benefits of certain dining
times and options for tomorrow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, we
couldn’t resist a brief preview, today!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Part of your all-inclusive cruise is the amazing dining
options found on board:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>24-hour room
service, 24-hour pizza and ice cream, the Lido Restaurant, and the main dining
rooms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will be amazed at the
culinary artistry of the chefs at work in the main dining room!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The best part, they are open for all three
meals each day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>World-class food for
breakfast, lunch, and dinner?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s
right, and at no charge!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If that weren’t
enough…the Lido Restaurant is also available to you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here you will find more casual dining fare
but that certainly doesn’t mean that the food is any less amazing!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like we mentioned earlier, you will find
pizza, calzones, Caesar salad, and breadsticks, plus endless ice cream
available on deck 24/7!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unless your will
power is iron-clad, you can expect to leave the cruise a little heavier than
when you came onboard!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Remember to check back in with us tomorrow for a full list of
dining options, some sample menus, kids menus, a full study on desserts, and
all of the other dining options that Carnival offers!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Not only will you be eating world-class food but you will be
enjoying world-class entertainment!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Carnival offers nightly revues, magic shows, comedy shows, and much more
in the theatre.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We love that there is a
different show every day of the cruise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Another feature we enjoy…there are multiple shows each night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This way, no matter what dining time you have
or what you have planned for the evening, you’ll be able to take advantage of
the night’s entertainment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The theatre
is used at other times throughout the day and early evening for more
entertainment options.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These are usually
game-show like contests for passengers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We have found them to be some of the most entertaining offerings on
board because guests get to participate and compete against one another.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a great way to interact with fellow
guests!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
entertainment doesn’t stop there!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’ll
also enjoy the pools, whirlpools, hot tubs, and water slides.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We find there is something extraordinary
about being in a pool in the middle of the ocean.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s an experience you aren’t likely to
forget!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These areas tend to be the
center of excitement onboard the ship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
offer the perfect place to relax or have a little fun (ok, a lot of fun!) with
events like belly flop contests, dance offs, and live music.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some boats also offer mini golf courses,
basketball, ping pong, and shuffle board.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Onboard Carnival’s newest ships you
will find something that no other cruise ship has, a laser show!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This exhilarating laser show, set to
contemporary and up-tempo music is unlike anything you’ve ever seen on land,
much less at sea!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">As if that weren’t enough to keep you
busy, just head inside!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During the day
you can take part in dance classes that teach several different types of
dance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Go back to the club later that
night to test out your new moves or sing a little karaoke!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">If you’re looking for something a
little quieter, you can always stop in the library and check out the latest
best-seller or head to the art gallery!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Carnival offers so many amazing complimentary programs and amenities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s easy to see the value built into your
cruise!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Basically everything that you
could possibly <u>need</u> on your cruise is included in the price of your

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Your
souvenirs are not complimentary (we know you didn’t really think they were, but
we had to say it!).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will have to
purchase any souvenir that you would like at an additional charge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shopping onboard though is great because it’s
duty-free!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’ll find some great deals
on unique products that you’ll love taking home with you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We love that many alcoholic and non-alcoholic
drinks are served in glasses or cups that you may keep!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They make a great souvenir and they’re
included in the price of your drink!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Alcohol is not included.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You will have to purchase any alcoholic
beverages for an additional charge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
are allowed to bring one bottle (750 mL) of champagne or wine, per guest over
the age of 21, onboard with you when you embark.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Any alcohol that is purchased in port will be
stored during the cruise and given to you upon debarkation at the end of your
cruise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some excursions will provide
complimentary alcoholic beverages but others do not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you have questions about whether or not
alcohol will be complimentary on your excursions of choice, be sure to ask <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Guest Services.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Another beverage that is not
complimentary on your cruise is soda.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This may have no affect on some of you, while others, like us, find this
to be a source of much grief.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Beverages
are very reasonably priced, but if you drink them at the rate we do, you’ll
want to look into the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Bottomless Bubbles</i>
option that Carnival extends to its guests.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This feature will allow you to enjoy unlimited soft drinks and juices
for a small fee that you pay up front ($6 per day, per adult and $4.50 per day,
per child plus 15% gratuity).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We find
this to be well worth the small fee and we highly recommend this service!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The next service you might be
interested in is Internet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Internet is
available in the Internet Café or ship-wide via Wi-Fi.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To enjoy internet, via computer, you will have
to pay a nominal activation fee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then
you are left to either pay-as-you-go or purchase a <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Time Plan</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Internet can also
be accessed via your smart phone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You
may use your phone carriers wireless data services (which will be subject to
your carrier’s international service rates) or you can apply your <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Time Plan</i> to your mobile device.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">If you’re interested in spa and
fitness options on board, you will have to pay additional fees for those
services.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Any spa or salon service that you
want to sign up for will cost you a little bit extra (The only exceptions are
for <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Deluxe Spa Suites</i> on board
Carnival’s newest ships.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These include
some, but not all, spa services).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Spa
services can be paid for ahead of time and booked online.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Salon services like manicures or pedicures
may also be booked and paid for ahead of time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Other salon services, like waxing, haircuts, hair colorings, or stylings
must be booked onboard using your <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sail
& Sign </i>card.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you’re more
interested in fitness, you will find several classes you can sign up for like
yoga, pilates, and spin classes offered at a nominal charge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are many free fitness programs offered,
though, and access to the ship’s gym is complimentary!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Just like
any other product or service you choose to purchase while you are ashore, you
will have to pay additionally for shore excursions or tours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These may be purchased ahead of time online or
onboard at <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Guest Services</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We highly recommend that you take advantage
of shore excursions and tours!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are
the safest and best way to experience the ports of call that you visit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We say they are safe because if you go on an
excursion coordinated through Carnival you will definitely be back in plenty of
time before the boat departs the port.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Also, if your excursion is cancelled then Carnival will credit the
amount to your <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sign & Sail </i>account
and help you find another excursion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not
to mention the fact that the shore excursions and tours offer
once-in-a-lifetime adventures!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now that
you've decided who will be sailing with you, the next decision you’ll want to
make is<span style="font-size: large;"> <em>which cruise is right for you</em></span>. Carnival has so many options. It’s
impossible to make a bad choice! We just want to make sure you know all the
choices available to you! So let’s start breaking them down! <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Carnival offers 15 departure ports (you’ll also see them
referred to as embarkation ports) in the United States.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This means that half of all U.S. residents
are within a 5-hour drive of a departure port!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-no-proof: yes;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span>There
are many exciting cruises sailing from each departure port so we suggest picking
one that is close to home for your first cruise! Let's check out where you can
sail from each port!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p> </o:p></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 115%; mso-no-proof: yes;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Each departure port offers
2-5, 6-10, or 10-plus day cruises.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
ports of call that you visit will be determined by the length of cruise that
you are interested in and the time of year that you choose to sail.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We recommend that your first cruise be less
than 7 days.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will give you enough
time to experience everything that Carnival has to offer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once you’ve decided that cruising is the best
way to travel (and we feel confident that one cruise will have you hooked) n
you will have fun exploring the longer cruises that Carnival offers!</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"> Getting
ready to book your first cruise?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of
the first questions you’ll have to answer is whether or not you’ll be bringing
your kids along!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are many factors
to consider when making this determination, but don’t let fears that your
children are too young to enjoy the experience, be one of them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Carnival has engineered the most extensive
and highly acclaimed youth program in the cruising industry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Carnival has worked hard to ensure that
guests of all ages will have an unforgettable experience on board their ships.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here’s a run-down of what Carnival has to
offer its youngest cruisers…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Let’s start with an overview of their
programs and policies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Carnival offers
complimentary programs for children, ages 2 to 11.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A program is available, for a nominal charge,
for children under the age of 2.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s
important to remember that these programs are not a daycare service.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are designed to maximize the cruise
experience for children by encouraging interaction with peers on board the ship
and to offer activities the whole family will enjoy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

your added peace of mind, program directors will be happy to provide you access
to a phone or beeper that works throughout the ship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You’ll simply check the device in and out
with your child.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This allows for emergency
contact to be expedited in the event it is needed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

ticket and will record the tour information.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

Dining</i> each evening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is the
only meal that is regularly provided to your child (although lots of snacks and
yummy activities usually occur throughout the day).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You are expected to check your child out

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;"> O</span>ne of the Caribbean’s most popular destinations is Cozumel,
Mexico!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It offers pristine beaches,

a special course on plate-decorating (a must for all foodies) you’ll feel like
a four-star chef.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The best part of the

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We align ourselves with quality, high-profile retail and cruise developers. These publicly traded and privately held companies pose a large variety of exciting vacation experiences in highly desirable geographic locations throughout the United States and abroad.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Vacation Tour and Travel employees are the key to our success. We employ over 200 full-time and part-time employees in our company headquarters located in Conway, Arkansas. This newly built facility serves as customer contact, sales and customer support center.
