Packing Tips for Cruise Vacations
Even in the largest villas and suites on a cruise, the closet space may be less than desirable. Maximize the smaller space with these great packing tips for those who have sailed the world.Pick the right suitcase
Some cruise lines are designing cabins that allow room underneath beds to accommodate larger bags. It the cabin does not allow this, pack things in a soft-side bag that can be flatten after you unpack.
Pack a Day Bag
Great for carry essentials around the ship and on shore excursions. Plus, use this as your carry-on bag since your actual luggage may take a few hours to arrive at your cabin.
Check the Cruise Ship Dress Code
Most cruise lines have detailed dress codes on their website. When in doubt, ask us. Most cruise lines now offer a more simplified dress code although formal nights are still available.
Board the Ship in Resort Casual Wear
Since it may take some time for your luggage to be delivered to your stateroom, aim to wear an outfit that may take you from day to night. And pack your day bag with items that you may want to have available on your first day on board the ship.
Plan your Vacation and Pack accordingly
Are you a lounger or will you be hitting every port ready to walk? Make a list of your activities and pack the additional gear needed so you are not missing out on a opportunity to experience the destination’s culture.
Toiletries
Bathrooms are even smaller. Most cruise lines provide the basic toiletries in travel size packs such as shampoo, conditioner and lotion. Make sure you bring travel size items that will carry you through the entire vacation. Consider a hanging bag which can easily be put behind doors.
Cruise Line Safety
In light of the recent tragedy of the Costa Concordia, we felt that this was a topic hard
to ignore. There have been countless articles, TV interviews and blogs written about
this. And we are extremely sadden and express our heartfelt condolences to all those
affected.

In fact, there are approximately 26 new ships to be launch, all built to International Maritime Organization standards and are equipped with up-to-date safety features and protocols.

Honeymoons
Honeymoons too often take a backseat to the arrangements and plans of the actual wedding,
but you owe it to yourself to give honeymoon planning greater and more careful attention.
After all, while the wedding is mainly for your family and friends, the once-in-a-
lifetime honeymoon that follows is a private getaway for you and your new spouse to
celebrate your marriage. Though you may spend a portion of your vacation relaxing and
reflecting on this major life change, the honeymoon is most of all an opportunity to
enjoy being a newlywed, spending quality time with your new spouse, and experiencing a
romantic and exciting getaway.
Honeymooners have endless options. Following months of wedding planning, couples often retreat to a luxurious resort that caters to their every need, while others trek to an adventurous escape from their day-to-day lives. Whether a beach vacation or a safari, the honeymoon should reflect your joint personality and wishes.
Keep in mind that perfect honeymoons don't just happen, and planning requires thoughtfulness, patience, careful attention to details, and a lot of decision-making along the way. The more homework you do before leaving for your honeymoon, the more you will enjoy your special vacation.
With today’s economy, couples are left with a staycation-type of honeymoon. With our Honeymoon Gift Registry, you can register for your dream honeymoon and friends and family can deposit money into your registry as their wedding gift to you. They can even pick portions of your honeymoon like a couples massage, spa treatments, airport transfers and more. Make this a retreat of a lifetime with the help of your friends and family.

A family that vacations together builds memories together!
A family vacation takes on a completely different meaning when it’s aboard a Carnival® “Fun Ship®” cruise. Everything you need to fulfill your child’s wishes is just a deck or two away – from sports to waterslides to outdoor movies. And when you and your spouse are ready for some alone time, “Fun Ship®” cruises cater to you too. Many ships offer Serenity SM, an adults-only retreat with relaxation whirlpools, soothing music, comfy lounge chairs and oversized umbrellas. Even late-night babysitting service is available from 10 pm to 3 am. A Carnival vacation is “Fun for all. All for fun.SM”Family Travel Tip
Here is a great way for kids to make their own vacation memories. Before your vacation, purchase disposable cameras for each child. Ask them to take as many photos as they want, of whatever they want. It’s a fairly inexpensive way to have them feel like they’re contributing to the family trip. Once you return home, view the photos together and relive the adventure. Then, create a scrapbook for each child featuring their favorite photos.
