Hello. So I am leaving in a few weeks for my first carnival cruise. Two questions Can I bring my fan and small iron although they will provide them if needed. Just wan to make sure. Everywhere I go I have them both. I wan to do the right thing.. lol Love your videos.

[@VampQueen18]

We learned the hard way that you cannot bring handcuffs. 😂😂 Now…it was our honeymoon and my bridesmaids packed a “fun bag” for us. They ended up letting us keep it because they were plastic. But we were definitely “embarrassed” by the cruise security going through our bag and lifting up the handcuffs in the air for all of the passengers embarking to see. 😂 My husband laughed his butt off!

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Aww shucks! lmbo, I love it.

[@Yugioh420]

Ok question if your traveling solo but willing to try something like that but never have before, would putting the pineapple on the door be considered false advertising because there wasn't someone to swap with or would you be expecting to entertain both parties or how would something like that work... asking for a friend lol. Not but am actually curious.

[@robinblake2908]

Got me rolling on the floor..... pantyhose.... great idea....

[@micahthomas6600]

I had a bladeless desk fan with me for the white noise on my first carnival cruise, and although it wasn't perfect it was a life saver! My AC went out in my balcony room on a cruise elegant evening, and I'll never be without a fan again. My air-conditioning didn't get fixed until well into the evening. I wish I had known the steward could have brought me a true fan! Thank you!

Now I heard something about a pineapple but I am so shocked about the unicorn. Wait I have seen people decorated their door giving it a beach theme and having a pineapple with drinks too. I cannot believe some people used a good fruit and an innocent my little pony unicorn and made it a sexual theme. Thank you for sharing!

[@robbywilson6729]

The fan advice is great for me. I am one of those wierdos that has the fan on in February to sleep. I like the ambient noise, so it is good to know those are available from the stewards.

Stanley , I hollered...Pineapples and Unicorns..I didn't know that..lol I LOVE yall!!

[@observantsweetie]

I’ve cruised with carnival several times. I like watching these videos to hear what other people are doing and knowing about the cruise line. I’ve learned some things every time. So I appreciate these vid. Something to mention about carnival: They have hair dryers in every room they’re usually in a drawer somewhere in the room. They could also be in a closet. Specifically in overview and balcony rooms. Bring a robe if you wear one and your plus size ( bigger than a size 20 womens) the robes are only for average sized people and they do not have any bigger. Buy your drink packages before the cruise… they are way cheaper than onboard. If you don’t drink that much don’t bother it’ll be a waste.

[@LifeWithUsTV]

thank you :)

Going on my first ever cruise 3/5/23 and the cruise is leaving from my City. I’m so excited because I don’t have to catch a flight

[@thesoccergirl30]

My only comment about the beach towels is that the Carnival towels can get heavy at times when if they get really wet and you have to carry them back to the boat. I like to bring a light beach towel (it honestly might not even be a beach towel, more a light pool towel maybe? I honestly don't know 😅) but something LIGHT so that if it gets wet, you're not lugging it back with the rest od your stuff, especially since you will be drained after a beach day. Just my personal preference. But if you've packed too much already, then it is not a necessity. At the pool, mosy definitely use the Carnival towels.

[@lindabradford9591]

I also bought a cheap queen size flat sheet to sit on the sand or chairs to tan. Folds small and is lightweight.
