Brad Ramirez+FollowFirst Look: Carnival’s Secret Island!Carnival just launched its brand-new private island, Celebration Key, and the first-ever guests are stepping onto those exclusive Bahama sands! After 3 years and $500 million, this 64-acre paradise is finally open—think waterslides, specialty eats, and beaches galore. The catch? It’s still a work in progress, so expect a few hiccups. Only Carnival Vista passengers get the VIP opening day, but by the end of 2025, 2 million cruisers will have checked it out. Would you want to be first? #Travel #CarnivalCruise #CelebrationKey225Share

If you’re a Carnival regular, it might be time to rethink your sea strategy! #CarnivalCruise #LoyaltyPrograms #TravelHacks #Business #Industry00Share
Christina Davis+FollowCarnival Cruise Nixes Trip Last MinuteBooked a summer cruise with Carnival? Double-check your plans!

The cruise line says too many people reached top status, making it tough to keep the perks special. The good news? Carnival is promising to listen to feedback for a whole year before making anything final. So, if you love your free laundry, now’s the time to speak up! #CarnivalCruise #LoyaltyProgram #TravelTips #Business05Share

Christine Baxter+FollowCarnival Cruises Just Flipped the Loyalty ScriptCarnival Cruises is shaking up its loyalty game: starting 2026, it’s not about how many nights you cruise, but how much you spend. So, splurging on spa days, fancy dinners, or even drinks now gets you more perks than just racking up nights at sea. The catch? Status resets every two years, so you’ve got to keep spending to stay VIP. Royal Caribbean fans are watching closely—will their perks be next? #CruiseLife #TravelHacks #CarnivalCruise #Business #MakeMoney30Share
ashley89+FollowCarnival Cruise Parking Drama UnfoldsAnyone sailing on Carnival Panorama from Long Beach next June? Heads up: parking is a hot mess! Carnival just told guests there’s barely any parking at the port, so they’re pushing everyone to use offsite lots (think $180 for 8 nights, card only). You have to drop your crew and bags at the terminal first, then drive to the lot and catch a shuttle back. Oh, and if you’ve got a big car or back-to-back cruises, you’re on your own. Plan ahead or risk missing the boat—literally! #CarnivalCruise #TravelTips #CruiseLife #Travel279Share
Timothy Bird+FollowCarnival’s Free Water Mix-Up: What Gives?So, Carnival cruise regulars were pumped for their free water perk—until some found out the bottle in their room wasn’t actually the freebie. Turns out, you have to grab your complimentary water at the bar, not from your cabin. The confusion? Carnival’s website says you can get it in your room, but staff say otherwise. The takeaway: always double-check where to snag your perks so you don’t get an unexpected charge! #CruiseHacks #CarnivalCruise #TravelTips #Business00Share
Brad Ramirez+FollowWhy I Always Bring My Passport on CruisesJust a heads-up for my fellow cruisers: you usually don’t need a passport for most closed-loop cruises from U.S. ports—but honestly, you’re making life so much easier for yourself if you bring it. Quicker boarding, super fast disembarking, and way less hassle if you run into problems. Pro tip: If you need a new passport photo, don’t smile—but if Carnival snaps a Sea Entry photo, go wild! 😁 Would you cruise without a passport?
