Drinking Alcohol On Board
The minimum age for the purchase and/or consumption of alcoholic beverages in the bars, lounges and gift shops is 21 years of age. In the event that Bar/Restaurant/Gift Shop Staff are in question that the guest is less than 21 years old, they shall request picture identification, prior to serving the drink or selling the bottle of liquor. Carnival reserves the right to refuse the sale of alcoholic beverages to anyone.
Bringing Liquor and Beverages On Board - Embarkation
Guests are prohibited from bringing water, sodas and other non-alcoholic beverages on board that are packaged in glass or plastic bottles.
A small quantity of non-alcoholic beverages (i.e., sparkling water, sodas, energy drinks, juice, and milk) packaged in cans or cartons may be brought on board on embarkation day and must be in the guest's carry-on luggage. A small quantity is considered a maximum of 12 sealed, unopened cans/cartons of 12-ounces/354-ml each or less per person.
Guests are prohibited from bringing alcoholic beverages on board with the following exception - At the beginning of the cruise during embarkation day only, guests (21 years of age and older) may bring one 750-ml bottle of sealed/unopened wine or champagne per person in their carry-on luggage.* All liquor, beer, other forms of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages outside of this exception are strictly prohibited in both carry-on and checked luggage and such items will be confiscated and discarded and no compensation will be provided.
* Port, Vermouth, Sherry and other fortified wines, over 15% alcohol by volume (ABV), cannot be brought on board.
Guests sailing with us on back to back cruises are entitled to bring on board the same quantity as stated in this policy, per cruise. The additional quantities will be stored for safekeeping at the start of the first cruise and will be given to the guest as each following cruise begins.
Corkage Fee
A $15 USD corkage fee, per 750-ml bottle, will be charged should guests wish to consume their wine or champagne in the main dining room, specialty restaurant or bar. A corkage fee is a charge assessed at time of service at a restaurant for every bottle served that is not bought on the premises.
Bottled Water
We know some of our guests are accustomed to bringing on board their own supply of bottled water, so for your convenience, Crystal Geyser Natural Spring Water can be pre-purchased prior to your cruise. Water will be delivered to your stateroom on embarkation day. Bottled water may also be purchased on board by contacting Room Service. Once on board, the purchase is non-refundable; guests may take home any unopened bottles.
Please visit The Fun Shops at https://www.carnival.com/in-room-food-beverages to place your order before your cruise to ensure we have an ample supply on board.
Distilled Water
Carnival carries distilled water which can be purchased either pre-cruise or once on board. For pre-purchase, please contact our Fun Shops department at 1-800-522-7648, Monday through Friday, 9:00am-10:00pm ET and Saturday and Sunday, 9:00am-6:00pm ET. For purchase on board, please contact Room Service. Should you wish to bring your own distilled water with you, it must be hand carried along with your CPAP machine.
Coolers
Guests are prohibited from bringing large coolers on board since screening and movement of large coolers through embarkation is an impediment to the boarding and security process. However small, personal-sized coolers, no larger than 12” x 12” x 12” for the purpose of housing small quantities of non-alcoholic beverages and/or medications are permitted as carry-on luggage.

Cruisers love the fact they “only have to unpack once”. And while your destination, itinerary and personal style will dictate which outfits you bring, we want to share our guidelines and suggestions. A Carnival ship has it all, from fine dining to casinos and shows to sunbathing, so here are some tips on how to dress to play or party.
Daytime: Casual and Comfortable
Casual attire is the order of the day when the sun is up, which can include:
Please note: Select activities and shore excursions may require closed-toe shoes. Footwear with wheels is prohibited on board our ships. Evening: Cruise Casual to Cruise Elegant (Sharp & Chic)
As we head into the evening, the dress code takes on multiple definitions, depending on your plans, the venue or the event. Most nights, the dress code in the main dining room(s) for everyone is Cruise Casual:
On certain special nights, our main dining rooms celebrate our Cruise Elegant festivities and we invite guests to enjoy a special night out in a sharp and chic way.
On longer cruises, the first Cruise Elegant evening is scheduled for the second or third evening of the cruise. Depending on itinerary, the next Cruise Elegant evening is the second or third evening prior to the end of the cruise. Cruise Elegant attire can include:
The Steakhouse and Rudi's Seagrill: The dress requirements follow the dress code specified for the main dining room(s). The Lido Restaurant: The Lido Restaurant is open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner and has a more relaxed dress code than the main dining room(s); however, please respect that the Lido Restaurant is not the pool area. Shirts, bathing suit cover-ups and footwear should be worn at all times. Please dry off completely as wet floors are a safety hazard.
Indoor Public Areas: Casinos, bars, retail shops, lounges and theaters are frequented by guests who dress according to daytime to nighttime standards. Basic rules still apply no matter the time of day – no swimsuits, wet clothes, or bare feet. Carnival Journeys and Holidays

In addition, clothing and accessories should not promote negative ethnic or racial, commentary, hatred, or violence in any form.
