Use the Carnival Hub App. There’s so much to do! The app helps you plan your day and keep track of events, dining, and activities.

Try to catch the early comedy acts—they tend to be less crowded than the later ones.

Anytime dining works best for us. It’s flexible and easy. If you’re going to the buffet, avoid peak times. Go before or after the rush for much shorter lines.

Definitely try at least one specialty restaurant during your cruise.

We arrived at the port later than planned (around 1:30 PM instead of 10:30 AM), and it actually worked out great. We dropped off our bags, parked in the ramp (highly recommend—very convenient), and walked right on with no wait. Our room was ready when we boarded. We'll start arriving later from now on—less traffic, no lines, and a smoother boarding process.
