Thank you both for all your tips
What about packing medicine and vitamins that are gummy? Do they need to be in clear packaging or original bottles?
What about cameras?
@@piersonnewton great question!!! Did you get an answer?? Ty
@@sheilabrown5784 no, not yet
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!
Wow that’s awesome
How do I get discounts and offers from carnival?
🧢
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🤣🤣
Lmbo
I'm the same way ,my will be in feb, and my husband thinks that im crazy, jajajajajajajjajajajajja and extraaaaaaa
😂😂
Same here.....
"Dont ask to borrow my neck fan." 😂
I haven't been on a cruise in almost 8 years. We're going on one this summer, and your videos are awesome! Y'all are so down to earth and straight and to the point. Y'all aren't trying to sound fancy, just being real, and helpful. 👏
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
Lmboooo…. Facts!
Yes she is. If she haven’t already. 🤣
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!!❤
I’ve been watching y’all for a minute. I’m proud to say i’m going on my 1st Carnival cruise in 40 days whoop 🙌🏽 . Thanks for the tips. Y’all give me confidence to cruise 🚢
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 😊
Me and my bestie just booked our first ever cruise! Y'all's videos have been helping she and I get ourselves together 🤣. We'll be on Carnival Elation July 29-August 3 2023 🎉😁
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.
The “ do as I say is so right” me and my girlfriend just came off our first cruise and luckily we left a day earlier for the drive from Va to Florida. While driving there my transmission went out. Luckily we still made it to the cruise but definitely wish we could’ve planned more!
Oh wow, glad y’all made it
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 am going on my first cruise in Sept from Sydney to the South Pacific and I thought I had thought of everything. You, you clever duo, have given me so many little hints to take on board. Thanks and keep up the good work. Cheers from a happy Australian!!!
I have watched numerous vidoes, and i have to say yall are so informative and yall explain it very well. Im a first time cruiser and will take my cruise next summer to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary 🎉 thanks so much and i look forward to watch many more of yall videos
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.
@Sonja V we stayed at Intercontinental Miami. It's right by Bayside Marketplace so qe hung out there the night before. We took a Taxi to the port. We were 6 minutes from port.
Love you all!!! I appreciate all the ins/outs and just honesty.
Our pleasure!
Omg thank you so much because my first trip is coming up soon and I’ve been trying my best to get ready
OMG. Glad I found your videos. I am getting ready for a cruise in 3 weeks. I have a list of things from the last few videos on what to buy for the cruise so my Amazon cart is full. I’m excited and nervous at the same time. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Very helpful. I love your Locs by the way. I am 5 months into my sisterlock journey and I started off with 1-2 inches of hair.
Have fun! Omg I started with 4 inches and I almost didn’t make it lol.
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
I hope you are enjoying your trip
@@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)
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.
I absolutely love your video's.. We leave Friday to travel to Miami and leave on the Celebration Saturday, our First cruise and I am so excited. The husband and I have learned so much watching your video's and I et you both are fun as heck to hang with.
Have fun!
I have been binge watching y’all all dayyy…..I love how down to earth and informative you guys are……Ny mom is going on her first cruise to Aruba and I just want to make sure her travel agent is explaining everything…..
That’s awesome
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.
OMG !!!! your videos On first time carnival cruisers are awesome . Thank you very much for making these videos. yall are a great help
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.
I love how very thorough u both where in this video it was really helpful
I’m taking my family for 7 days on celebration in December and yall have given me soo much valuable info I would have never known. Thanks yall
Our pleasure!
Y’all have been so helpful great information I’m so grateful
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.
Sounds like us 😂😂😂😂
First carnival cruise thanks for all the info. My fiancé has been cruising for years. Just did a Royal Caribbean so now I’m doing a carnival
Thank you so much for this very useful information. I have learnt a lot as a soon to be first time cruiser
Me not binge watching these videos the day before 🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣
🥰🥰
Wow this was super informative! I just booked my cruise for my birthday and I feel ready to go ! Thanks guys !!!!
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.
Planning to take our first cruise and your info has been incredible. Definitely Subscribed because I need more good information like this and enjoyed watching.
Welcome aboard!
Loved the info & the energy delivering it! First time cruiser for us. Liked & subscribed
Welcome aboard!
“Go ahead TI!” LMAOOOOO
I can watch you guys n repeat!!! Looking to book our first virgin trip through you!!
Awww come on :)
I’m cruising with Carnival for the 3rd time in 25 days and this was still very helpful 🥰
Are you going on carnival spirit on the 28th?
Which wifi package you recommend I’m traveling in June
Family Cruise this month, and I'm posting this video in our group chat right now...
I didn't know a tip is already included with my drink 🤣 I was definitely double tipping.
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.
I’m nervous but want to make it the best time in my life. Once I load the sign and sail card with cash if I don’t use all the money how will I get the remains balance back?
Yep
Yall have been life savers!!! Our first cruise in July 🎉💓💃🏾 Thank yall for sharing your knowledge
With the sign & sail card can u use it through your cruise then settle up with a credit card or a prepaid card
You have to guarantee it with a card or cash from the beginning
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!!
That is awesome! Ask your son to adopt me lol. Have a wonderful time.
From one ta to another I love you and your content
Thank you so much 😊
Just came across your videos. Wish I found them a few months back. (well better late than never) Love your enthusiasm and tips. 😊
Y’all are hilarious 😭😂 I love this. Thanks for the tips
Great info even though it’s a lot to know, I’m going on my cruise with my sister, is everything your telling us is to be individual, because I don’t want her doing anything at my expense
I’m so happy that I’ve found y’all! I am a first time carnival cruiser (two weeks away) and these tips are soooo great to know! Please continue to share! I really love y’all’s energy!!❤
On disembarkation day, I have a 2pm flight out of MIA. Given your experience with Carnival Cruise line, do y’all think I should change to a later flight?!
When’s your trip??? Is it the carnival elation???
@@michaelasheppard7863 no, it’s carnival conquest.
love it! y'all are so entertaining. planning our 1st carnival cruise on the mardi gras in Oct!!
Omg I LOVE y’all. These are Super helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you
I’m working on planning a 1st time cruise for next year. I’m doing Research early for all the good tips and tricks.
First time cruiser here.... I want to fund my Sign and Sail card via cash on board..... When preparing to leave the cruise, how will unused funds be returned to me from the card?
You have to cash it out
You two are so much fun to watch. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos.
We’re going on our first cruise and I’ll be celebrating my 40th on the boat. We have not booked any excursions the only one I am interested in, Atlantis Aquaventure, do you recommend it is pricey?
I do recommend it ✔️
I definitely wish i would've watched this and all of your other videos before booking!! 😔 I'll know for the next time though! Thank y'all for making things plain and easy for us to grasp! ✊🏾
Great tips, very helpful for 1st time cruisers!
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.
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.
Love you guys. Thank you for always being informative
So newb cruiser here. 5/1/23 headed to Bahamas. You guys make me laugh. Thanks for the tips. Stay Awesome.
Have fun!
I've done 15 Carnival cruises and you guys nailed it!
Thank you
Family, Family i can't
thank you enought for all the tips,thank you, thank you, you guys are the best,but the way happy holidays
You too
I just found your channel, and my wife and I are going on our first cruise 1/15/24-1/19/24. So much good info.
Do you have a video for Royal Caribbean? My first time cruise is coming up with them.
Sailing w/ two teen kids. We’re on the same sail card acct will charges made show which person is charging? I want to make sure the kids don’t go buck wild on charging. 😂
You can set limits
Thank You so much for these needed tips... These tips will help me as I prepare for my first cruise next year in May & I'm super excited 😊
My daughter carries her hydroflask with her everywhere can she bring it on board if it's empty?
Yep
Love the tips! Mardi Gras was so much fun! Going on Freedom in Nov next year an the Italian one in July!
Hello Lynette and Stanley. I’ve been watching you on you and i’m Thankful for all the information. Me and my husband will be taking our first time cruise on the Carnival Celebration in February 12, 2023. Our gave us a free Cruise for our Anniversary on 12/23/2023 will be 23years we’re celebrating. Thank you for taking the fear out of it. We are excited but nerves.
This is awesome. I love it. Have fun
Very helpful video! But here's a question from a newbie. Do you wear your sign & sail card around your neck while swimming?
Yes I do!
Ok so glad I found you two . This will be my husbands and mine first cruise. We are watching all your videos and taking notes. Next cruise I would really like to book with you. My 26 year old son who will be babysiting our dog is ready to cruise too.
Love you guys. So informative
Thanks for watching!
I been on 9 Carnival Cruises, but I enjoy listening to all yall videos 👍🏿
Great video. Loved the shirts..
Thanks!
How do you book the excursions based off of where you’re going? Is it on the carnival cruise app?
Yep
Great tips. Thanks. Can you use your cash app card?
Yes but the same rules apply
THIS HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL!
Thank you for this info. I wanted to ask if you do not drink alcohol but like coffee, tea, smoothies, bottled water or other drinks like soda/soft drinks, is this included with the meals? Is this something that is part of the cost of the cruise or you have to pay extra for this?
Basic coffee, tea, lemonade and some juice is the only included beverage.
Hello. Glad I came across this video. Just booked me and hubby first cruise/honeymoon trip. I appreciate all the information 💙
I do live in Florida
Unfortunately I have flight same day sailing work won’t allow that
Two years ago before our cruise, we read that the COVID test where not needed however, Carnival had use tested before we could go cost $100.00 per person. Once we where all clear they let us board the boat.
**What is the COVID Testing rules? Do we need to be tested before we go?
** Texas-- Can anyone help direct me to testing and how long it takes to get the results?
Hey Stanley and Lynette 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾 Always good advice. 🤗🤗
Just got back from my first carnival cruise. I watched all of you videos and followed all of your instructions! We had a blast except for the last night when I got super sick. 😢😂
That sucks 🥲
I just booked mine and my boyfriend first cruise for February 2024 and I’m super nervous over it
I love yall 😂😂😂😂😂
What is the COVID Testing rules? Do we need to be tested before we go?
N/A
I don't mess with elegant nights cuz I pack light a day I'm not gonna waste space packing a whole outfit for one meal.
I found your channel yesterday, I love it! Thank you for all the helpful information. I am a 1st time cruiser, going on the Carnival Freedom in May. I am thinking of doing the Clifton Heritage National Park in Nassau. Just wondering if you guys have been and what you thought about it?
We hadn’t tried it 🥲
@LifeWithUsTV ok thanks! We'll I'll let yall know.
Is the FTTF WORTH IT? We r goin 2 CARIBBEAN n Oct.
Not in my opinion but if the perks at worth it to you go for it ✔️

Not 💯 sure at this moment
I came back from the October 10-15th cruise out of Norfolk with a 400 dollar bill because of roaming. I should have watched the video before hand lol
Oh my
