I also take a picture of my luggage tag and set it as my screen saver on my phone for the duration of the cruise incase I loose my phone on the ship if someone finds it. They will know what cabin it goes to.
I printed out twice as many luggage tags and put them on the inside of our luggage, as well. That way, even if the outside tag holder somehow got separated from our luggage, they could open it up and still see which room our luggage belonged to. (I've done this with airport luggage for years.)
I wish I can find before So you can help me with my cruise🥰🥰 the guy who help me Get lost, try to call him but never answer Thanks for all your tips Can wait for my first cruise June 23-29 Me and my 3 boys
I'm learning so much from watching your videos. Thank you so much. We cruise on the Jubilee last week of September 2024. We are excited. Stanley, you are a lucky man. Subscribed. Great channel.
One thing I don't remember hearing in the videos, was about the debarkation line. Having passports saved us so much time! The passport "line" was non existent. We walked right off the ship, through customs, and to our ride. The line for people who had only a birth certificate was crazy long! I can't imagine how long it took them to get through customs.
Took my first cruise back in June on Carnival Valor. My mom and sister had a balcony. I loved sitting on their balcony at night, but it was SO hot in their room during the day, even with 2 fans and the curtains closed. I enjoyed sitting on lido at night just as much as being on their balcony. I LOVED my interior. It stayed cold the whole cruise and it was DARK no matter what time day/night and I’m so ok with that lol
My husband and I cruised for the first time with our family in 2018. We didn’t have to do any of the paying or research prior to booking. We just got our luggage packed and got on the ship! He nor I could even remember any of the process that we DID go through. So when we started preparing for our August 13-19 cruise… we were honestly pretty lost! I found y’all’s channel pretty early on in the preparation stage and I’m so happy I did! We were FULLY prepared for the cruise all because of the two of you. Thank you for all of your tips. I will forever be subscribed just because I know I’m still not a genius or seasoned cruiser and there may be more tips I need by the next cruise and I know y’all gave the best advice! ❤️
I started watching you guys when we went on our first cruise in July. ( my first after 20+ years ). Now my husband booked 3 more for us. Going on Mardi Gras in December
Good Afternoon Mr. Stanley and Queen Lynette, thank you so much for everything that You are sharing with us. My husband and I will be cruising on Carnival Horizon next month. Your information is very helpful to me.
Just got back from my first cruise this past Monday. Found and began watching you guys a few months ago when we booked and literally followed your tips to a T lol. My husband and I had a wonderful time and a smooth trip due to all of the preparation I got from your videos. Thanks so much, my anxiety lessened because I felt so prepared and confident. Looking forward to our next cruise!😊🙏🏾🤍
I'm not a first time cruiser, but I love y'alls energy in this video. You have earned a subscription from me plus I've bookmarked your website because I will be using y'all to book my next cruise.
Thank you for your tiip on dirty cloths bag. I used it last week. My husband suitcase for dirty clothes. And my suitcase had enough room for cloths didn't use on the cruise.But we forgot to pack our straws.
It is worth noting the dining room limit doesn't apply to appetizers. If you want to sample just order multiple appetizers; they are smaller than at typical restaurants.
My family and I went to Nassau in August 19 and it was our first time. Watching your videos was so helpful and we had a ball and everything went so smoothly ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉. Thanks for everything and I’ve been sending your videos to all my friends. Thanks thanks 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Thanks for the tips on how to access your links. By the way I’m binge watching your videos because we’re taking a family group cruise of 60 relatives and many of us are first time cruiser including my family of six. ❤
❤😊Thanks again, lynette and stanley, for the cruise tips for Carnival Cruises. I'm trying to save up money right now to go on my first cruise. Hopefully, I'll reach my goal by the end of this year.
Thank you so much for this! I am planning my family’s very first cruise on Sunshine for 2024. It’s all a bit overwhelming 😂 but this info, I am hopeful, will help. New subbie! 🚢 ❤
Thank you for these videos! I have watch all of your videos, as my husband & I were trying to figure out if we wanted take our first cruise. Well, it worked and so helpful, that we just booked are first cruise last night!. April 2024 can't come soon enough.. much ❤ from GA!
I just returned from my first cruise! Had such a great time!! We were on the Carnival Horizon! Unfortunately, I think I caught Covid 3 days before the end of the trip. I had third party travel insurance through Allianz but was too sick to go see the medic. I had an awesome time prior to getting sick! Thank you Lynette and Stanley for your extremely helpful tips. Made our trip fun and memorable without the stress😊
I hope Carnival is looking out for yall. Im positive yall have given 100s the impetuous to take a cruise, especially those that may have been apprehensive. Keep up the great work!!! As a side note...I believe most European countries are also requiring a visa in addition to a passport starting in '24. No more free passage to Americans.
Going on a journeys cruise with carnival for 14 days and interested in a drink package. I think I would be sick of drinking alcohol everyday to make cheers feel worth it (not big on coffee and shakes). I am interested in maybe the bottomless bubble but are my options only the 4 sodas (Pepsi, root beer, Mountain Dew & Starry replacement for Sierra Mist)?
Hi it’s me again lol does everyone get a sign and sail card that’s sharing a cabin ? Also my children if they go out on their own how do i set an amount for them to use the card ?
First time cruiser here and I am sooo thankful I came across this channel. Thank you guys for all you do!!! I booked to get our photos done (I think its called Pro Canvas Print). Looks like the date for it the first day of our cruise. How do we know what time or where to go??
Hey you two! Love your channel. My husband and I are first time cruisers. We have a trip on NCL Pearl for the Maxwell concert in February. We’ve been watching your videos and they’ve been so helpful! Listening to your advice, we changed our flight to come in a day before embarkation. Where is a good place to stay??? We really have no idea. We want to stay somewhere close to port, but we will be there for a whole day and want to make sure that we are close to restaurants in walking distance. Please help!
Hey Queen Lynette and Stan-leeey!!! Yall just don’t know how much all and I mean ALL of your videos have meant to me. First time cruising in January ‘24 on the Carnival and I’ve learned so much from you. Now question… What camera was THIS video shot with? It is so sharp and clear it looks like 12K❤️. Just watched the Carnival magic cruise, hope you all had a ball. Sending love from Cleveland, OH🥰
Hi! How many checked luggages can you bring? My fiancé and I are traveling LA 1 week before the cruise and we were planning to bring 2 backpacks and 3 suitcases in total. Would they deny our 3rd luggage for check in? We are going on a 5 day cruise. Thanks!
My bff & I are thinking about going on a cruise. We both have a limited income. Should we use a travel agent or can I do it myself? Will it cost a lot more to use an agent? What do you suggest?
Where is the best place to purchase all the cleaning and toiletries for the room? I usually shop at Target but wondering if I would be spending too much
Okay just for clarity -- I understand that passports are not required for the Bahamas, but I thought Passports are required for Jamaica?? We have a family cruise to Jamaica 2024 and I stressed passports
Hey..going on cruise soon..not first cruise..but first since COVID..I heard that you can only bring a certain type of wine..is this true? Can you bring Taylor Port? THANKS FOR INFO….
Hello! I have a question do we need to print out our cruise document or anything or they'll send send us an Email? Love you guys cruising out in Sept 29 to Bahamas.. can we bring food back on the ship from Bahamas?
Hey! I have a question. First time cruiser. So we booked a cruise for paradise in February. Currently have an interior room on riviera deck. We’ve received an upgrade offer ($50) to empress deck. Do you think it’s worth it? I hear that deck is popular but the room they would move us to would be right beneath the dining room and right next to elevators. I’m a light sleeper so I would rather be somewhere quiet than “convenient” lol
Hey Stanley & Lynette, I am not a 1st time cruiser, but my aunt & younger sister are. I have booked a cruise on Carnival Valor in January 2024 & I will be traveling with my 76 year old aunt who has Multiple Sclerosis & limited mobility that will require her to use assistive devices, including but not limited to a motorized scooter or wheelchair. I informed Carnival that there will be 3 of us in the room & my aunt is also claustrophobic. I wanted an accessible room to accommodate her assistive devices. The room I have been assigned is an interior but the picture shows a window. We are in room 1002 on the Panorama deck aft. Will that room accommodate all 3 of us?
Hey guys, if I choose to load my sign and sail card with cash for my 3 day cruise, can I put $50 on it? I know they suggest $100, but is it mandatory to be at least $100 ??
I used a travel agent for my first cruise, & I CAN NOT WAIT start 🛳 ‼️ I will use you guys to help me with my next cruise. But I must say, I should've gone on an all-inclusive resort somewhere because this cruise is getting really expensive. You pay for EVERYTHING ‼️ I just hope I have fun. 🤦🏾♀️

I did the same. Great tip I read in our cruise FB group.
That's genius. Great idea!
I like that
Ooooh great idea
For tip #16, buying a regular watch & keeping it on ship time is KEY‼️
I printed out twice as many luggage tags and put them on the inside of our luggage, as well. That way, even if the outside tag holder somehow got separated from our luggage, they could open it up and still see which room our luggage belonged to. (I've done this with airport luggage for years.)

Hey! I have a question. First time cruiser.
So we booked a cruise for paradise in February. Currently have an interior room on riviera deck. We’ve received an upgrade offer ($50) to empress deck. Do you think it’s worth it? I hear that deck is popular but the room they would move us to would be right beneath the dining room and right next to elevators. I’m a light sleeper so I would rather be somewhere quiet than “convenient” lol
It’s a gamble. The dining room isn’t always loud but there’s always movement above
Hey Stanley & Lynette,
I am not a 1st time cruiser, but my aunt & younger sister are.
