Questions:
How much is this gonna cost? Prices for double occupancy cabins range from $586-$816 per person.
How do we book our cabin? Donna has three forms you must fill out for her to process your booking, which you can find at the bottom of this page.
How much is the deposit? No matter what type of cabin you choose, the 1st deposit (per person) is $150 and is due by April 20, 2025. Once this deposit is received and processed, cabins will be assigned. The 2nd deposit (per person) is another $150 due by June 8, 2025.
How do I make payments? The final payment is due by August 1, 2025. However, you can make payments anytime using the Payment Authorization Form below.
Do I need a passport? No, U.S. citizens entering Mexico by sea may enter without such documents if they are visiting port towns for a short visit. Passengers of closed-loop cruises (beginning and ending in the same port city) are also not required to have a passport to re-enter the United States. See more about this below.
What other documents will I need? A boarding pass, a government-issued photo I.D. (if 16 years of age or older), and a certified birth certificate or certificate of U.S. naturalization.
What if I’m traveling solo? If you are traveling solo, we can pair you up with another solo traveler or Donna can help you book a single room.
Can kids come? Yes, cruise fares are per person which includes children and infants. When traveling with two full-fare guests, additional guests in the same stateroom pay a discounted cruise fare. Children less than 2 years of age are not required to extend gratuities. Contact Donna directly for pricing on cabins for more than double occupancy.
What is included in my fare? Use of facilities, like pools, the gym, and shows, all food (barring specialty dining restaurants), and the following beverages (served in the main dining room and available 24/7 in the Lido Restaurant): non-bottled water, lemonade, unsweetened iced tea, hot chocolate, and non-specialty coffee and tea. See “What’s Included and What’s Not” below for more details.
What if I have other questions about Carnival cruises? You can review their “Know Before You Go” page here.
When should I get to New Orleans? Those flying to New Orleans might prefer to arrive the night before in case of delays. Donna is happy to help make arrangements for this as well.
What if I can’t come but want to send a gift? We will have a small registry for gifts or can accept monetary gifts.
