If you have a World Phone....call your provider about a week before you leave and let them know so they can set up your phone capabilities. Roaming charges usually apply.
A: Tons and Tons of food! Expect the best at Dinner when you dine in the main dining halls, dress is resort attire-no shorts or swimwear. Along with the 2 main dining halls you can also enjoy anything from sushi to pizza. Tiffany's Bar & Grill and a Deck grill. Or pamper yourself with room service. Remember the food is Included!

Acceptable attire: Ladies: Evening Gowns, cocktail dresses to simple black evening dress.. Men: Tuxedo's, Dark suit's, even Military Mess Dress. You do not have to eat in the main dining hall on this night, Tiffany's Bar & Grill serves wonderful meals also.
A: There are many options to choose from once we dock in Cozumel. You may either choose one of the provided tour guided excursions from Carnival or venture of on your own. We are trying to see what kind of deal we can get with Carnival, if we book a large group on one of the provided excursions. Book early!! Space is limited and they do book fast. You have the option to book before we sail.
A: NO!!! Just kidding. Yes singles are allowed to travel but get charged a "special rate" which is usually the same as a couple rate. So you pay double. If there are singles who want to join in on the cruise I would suggest you fined a "buddy" to shack up with. If not email me and we'll see what can be done. dena and joel
A: Carnival actually has some of the largest cabins compaired to other Liners. Two people are very comfy in a regular cabin They are suspose to hold 5 but I wouldn't go over 4. You don't get tons of room but enough.You will have plenty of storeage space for 4. Most of your time is spent wondering about the ship and eating lol.
A: As of right now we will be sailing on the ELATION. Carnival is supposed to return the Elation to its homeport of Miami in or around March. The ECSTASY's home port is Galveston, but was lent out to New Orleans to help support the efforts. We will know closer to March if this is going to go into effect. Either way it changes nothing for our trip, only ships. They are almost identical is every way. BTW I like the Ecstasy better just for names sack!! THERE has been a ship change....we will be sailing on the Esctasy
