What about packing medicine and vitamins that are gummy? Do they need to be in clear packaging or original bottles?

What about cameras?

Booked our balcony cabin on Thanksgiving Day, paid our deposit, and had a final payment due in May., Last week I got a casino offer from Carnival, called, and even though it took me an hour on the phone, they honored the offer; ended up with a free drink package, knocked $1100 off our cruise, got $500 in fun play, and $200 in OBC.....including the extras and the Cheers package, saved over $2000, now the cruise is paid off and they owed US $80! Always check your offers even if you have already booked! Woohoo!

We are 21 days out for our first Carnival cruise and I've been binge watching all of your videos. I even purchased a bunch of things from your links to help me since I'm bringing my kids. My boyfriend thinks I'm being extra, but I just want to be comfortable. I already told him don't ask to borrow my neck fan🤣🤣

For anyone new to cruises and cruise videos, Lynette and Stanley are your best source of informative, entertaining, and enlightening KZbin videos! I particularly liked your tip for joining a Facebook group for your particular cruise. I'm finding some fun things to do with other people on the ship. For instance, they are doing a Slot Pull in which those that want to get involved throw in 20 bucks apiece, take turns pulling the arm of a slot machine, and any money the group wins it's shared equally. Even if you don't win, it'll be fun meeting new people on your cruise. Another thing was called a White Party. Being a newbie, I had no idea what that was. Simply put, it's a party where everyone wears white. Whew! Thankfully it wasn't what I THOUGHT it was! Lol. In this video you also mentioned a Bar Crawl. Now, not being a big drinker and being new to this kind of stuff, I didn't know what that was either. But the great thing about this group is you find people you might like to meet on the cruise and have a drink with. Cruising can be a social event or a private one - whatever is your pleasure. I'm not that out-going, but I find myself wanting to meet them, find out where they're from, etc. It's MY first cruise too, and I want to experience it all. Thanks Lynette & Stanley for helping me prepare for my cruise! You guys are great!!

[@LifeWithUsTV]

You’re so welcome and I’m glad you’re getting so much from our guidance.

[@spiritandtruth194]

What is a bar crawl

[@chrisbracey9085]

I have been binge watching since I found out I was going on the cruise!!! 2/11/25 can’t come quick enough!!!!!!

I’m six days away from my first carnival cruise and I’m sooo excited that I found your page! I’ve learned sooo much! THANK YOU 😊

[@jaytpharaoh8411]

Cruise less than 10 days away❤️ I’m bringing my 1000 credit card, 250-500 cash money, got the cheers, got pre paid gratitude and travel insurance. My room 1350$ interior so I paid 2000 roughly for everything solo

[@tajn239]

I hope you are enjoying your trip

[@jaytpharaoh8411]

@@tajn239 just booked another cruise for May. Got it half price with 50$ credit. Drink package again but I’m on a balcony solo(so I’m paying equal to what I paid for the interior)

[@westsideken]

First cruise on May 12th. They sent me my room assignment and it was room 1263 on the Carnival Pride. Lowest level and the very last cabin next to the galley and the elevators in the bottom of the ship. I called and they were able to find me another room in a quieter part and a higher level and no extra charge. Carnival is very pleasant and accommodating to deal with as far as the customer service is concerned. We'll see how the actual cruise is. But if it's anything like the customer service that I've had, it'll be phenomenal.

[@mellowzay]

Me and my lady booked our first cruise and were super excited! I’ve been watching your videos nonstop (she told me I ain’t got no life 😂) but watch, I bet she’s gonna be asking me a bunch of questions when it comes time for the cruise. Y’all have been SO helpful! Much love from RVA

[@LifeWithUsTV]

Lmboooo…. Facts!

[@Nessakay1]

Yes she is. If she haven’t already. 🤣

[@scbeachblonde8836]

Tip #4 The Drink Package. I get it every time! Yeah, Imma drink several vodka-cranberries at night. I also drink the specialty coffees, virgin slushy drinks when it's hot, maybe a glass of wine with dinner, maybe a beer on the pool deck. I get bottled waters a couple times a day. I don't usually drink sodas (but they're included). And you can get real juice! Not the fruit-flavored kool aid at the buffet! I always intend to get a milkshake, but I never do.

[@conniegiacoia7421]

We've only been on one NCL cruise. We bought $250 in on-board credit and deposited 80 bucks cash per person per day at Guest services. We got money back. Worked out great! We're planning on Carnival Vista September 2024 for our 10th anniversary!!❤

[@k9trainergsd]

My oldest son and his wife bought me and my husband our first cruise! A trip to the Mexican Riviera for my 65th! I’ve been binging videos ever since! I must say that I all the videos I’ve seen, yours is by far the best! So many important things that nobody else has bothered to mention. I am so grateful for the time and effort you have put into your videos. You’re the best!!

[@LifeWithUsTV]

That is awesome! Ask your son to adopt me lol. Have a wonderful time.

[@shamekafletcher5851]

I am a seasoned cruiser with Carnival but haven’t been on one since 2019 due to COVID, but honey I love y’all videos because you guys really dig deep for first time cruisers and seasoned cruisers. I like to watch your videos because it keeps me updated with the new without having to read all over the Carnival website about certain things. So keep doing what y’all do and I also enjoy y’all energy ❤

I fund my sail and sign card with Carnival gift cards that I purchase through AARP rewards for 10% off. There's no age limit to join and I save lots on our vacations.

40 days from my cruise and Im going back through your catalog to make sure we are set! Also on the Drinks Package, I find the peace of mind knowing I don’t have to pay for drinks on the ship took a lot of stress off our shoulders.

[@kindladyw.7466]

Thank you both for all your tips. I am taking my husband for his birthday this August. Our first time and I probably watch you guys every weekend, Love you guys and your personality. You are awesome and great inspiration.

[@hollypotter6989]

Huge issue with all or most cruise lines is that if 1 is a drinker both still have to buy the package. In fact all adults in the cabin have to buy it. It can be EXTREMELY expensive.

[@MrsDauphinee]

We winter in California so getting to our embarkation port is just a drive away. Eve this caused an arrival problem. There was a major accident on the interstate and we were tied up for hours stopped in traffic. Fortunately, Hubby always wants to leave for things very early and we made it to the port minutes before the ship left the port. Since then, we drive to a hotel closest to the port and relax the night before and and get up in the morning and walk over to the ship. The whole process is so calm and no frantic chaos as we have endured in the past.

[@Frankie-Floyd]

I've done 15 Carnival cruises and you guys nailed it!

1 more very important tip. If you have mobility issues and use a scooter or wheelchair you may not be able to tender to a port. Check before you book how many ports are going to be tendered. Same with excursions...can you be transferred to the beach, the bus, the pools? Carnival has a special needs department to help.

Love your videos! Went on my 1st cruise in December and it was amazing!! Already scheduled the next one. Y'all explained everything so well. I was really glad that I didn't purchase the cheers package. I did not need it. I still had a drinks every day but only one or two because I don't drink much. Other than that I drank the tea or lemonade or the bottled water I bought for my room. Also, we did fly in early and hung out the night before at Bayside in Miami and had a 6 minute ride to the port in the morning. It was awesome. There were so many people with stories about trying to make it in time because flights were delayed. Also, dining rooms we absolutely freezing so take a sweater or something to cover up with.

Where did yall stay in Miami? How did you get from hotel to port?? Curious because going on first cruise with my son in Oct. Trying to get it all figured out. Lol. Thank you.

[@sunnyday202]

Just subscribed to you guys, my husband and I used to do Carnival (last trip was 2016) but decided to try Royal and just came back from our 2nd Royal cruise, this time on Wonder of The Seas. Although it’s currently the biggest ship in the world we felt they used the extra space to cram more people on board and cater to kids and people that were willing to spend big bucks on suites.( normal guests are not allowed on certain decks or restaurants because we didn’t purchase a suite) We both agreed that after that 2nd trip we might be more inclined to go back to Carnival. Going to keep watching you two and maybe we will see you on a future cruise! 😁

[@LifeWithUsTV]

You’ll love the celebration and Mardi Gras with carnival

[@atondriareece6004]

I’m a social drinker in the sense that I’ll drink if I’m out but I don’t necessarily have to. However, when I’m on vacation I’m Social Sally and gets my drink on 😂😂 my last cruise I hit 13 drinks each day 🤦🏾‍♀️ but I stayed classy though.
