I go on my carnival cruise in literally 3 hours Hanging in Miami rn at the Balfour Hotel lol

First time cruiser! I’m nervous and excited all the same time 🎉

That hold is soooo true. We’ve been cruising since 2004 and never experienced a problem til June when they held our card for $657 for the total charges, THEN placed a hold for EACH INDIVIDUAL PURCHASES WE MADE… so again, a hold for $657 AND over 30 holds for each purchases made on the cruise that totaled $657!!! It took exactly a month to come off. Lesson learned and we will never use a debit card again. Cash or major CC only. Thank u for sharing with your viewers bc this is a MAJOR KEY

Y’all scaring me😮 my cruise is in 2 week and I have a balcony cabin, I also have two kids 7&3 and it’s just us three traveling. This would be their first cruise my second

Thank you for these tips!!!! Can’t wait to take my first cruise!! Y’all seem so cool. ❤ I was wondering while y’all were talking about the sign and sail card if I am traveling with two others on my next cruise and will our sign and sale cards be charged separately or come as one big bill? One of the people I am traveling with definitely has more to spend it than I do and that could potentially be a nightmare if they decide to split the final bill three ways… I will be binging on all y’all videos Ty Ty

Hi! I really enjoying watching all your videos. They are very informative and you guys are entertaining at the same time. I’m planning my family’s first cruise for next year. My two children’s father is not in the picture because of his past and current life choices. When I consulted with an attorney years ago about custody, he advised me not to pursue anything legally, so I never did. Their father is on drugs and experiencing mental health issues, according to his family, so having him sign a letter giving me permission to travel with them is not an option. Do you have any experience with this type of situation, what my options would be as far as having the proper paperwork to travel with my children?

We are going on our first cruise in October, what do you think about the Carnival Valor

Yes, I’m the same way I overdo it because I wanna get my moneys worth and then I’m miserable after drinking my body way just Cuz I wanna get my moneys worth

It really depends on your need. If you do not want to research em I’d just go with what the cruise line offers.

Thank you both for your insightful advice. I've been binge-watch most of your videos. Haven't cruised in years. Going to Alaska next week on "Carnival Spirit" with some friends. Thanks to you guys, I believe I'm set. Lynette, as a travel agent do you have any experience with the Mediterranean Viking Cruises? My son just graduated from college and I'd promised to take him to Europe (specifically Spain, France, & Italy). I told him that I'd rather go to Europe by cruise, as oppose to a traditional tour group. I know Viking Cruises aren't "Fun" or for "Younger" people, but my son is an "Art History" enthusiast and wants to see some historical sights. I want to book something in 2024 and would love to get some advice from you. Thanking you in advance. Be Well.

If you are a fun person… heck yes.

If you're married, do you need to bring your birth certificate and marriage license along with ID or passport card (that matches your married name). If bringing passport card with married name do you have to also bring marriage license too in case?

Can you use a global entry card as your id along with passport?

When I booked my flight I discovered the travel ins I purchased also covered my cruise as I had the international plan. So be sure to ask what is covered.

Is it a certain size tumbler that we can bring? I have a 40oz would this be allowed?

if you use credit card for sign and sail, do they pull one big amount at the time of the end of the cruise or do they pull money every time u buy something equalling multiple charges?

They hold up to $200 at a time, and as you continue to spend, they will add more holds to ensure there are enough funds on the card to cover the purchase on your sign and sail card
