The muster drill on Carnival Mardi Gras was so streamlined last week. It was amazing. All I had to do was go the the designated area, they scan your sail & card and you keep it moving. You look at the safety drill on your room TV at your convenience.
Hey King & Queen! Great cruise advice. I work for Carnival and many of your tips are listed on the cruise website but people don't read the site. Thank you so much for emphasizing these tips! You guys are on point...informative and entertaining! Getting to the pier location a day early is imperative if travelers are coming from another state... 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾💯💯💯👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Not long ago, I was in the hospital with pneumonia. My roommate had actually been on a cruise from I believe San Diego to Alaska. Well, during dinner 1 night, she inhaled a piece of food somehow. The dr and nurses on the ship did what they could but as soon as they could dock she was taken by helicopter to the closest airport and flown to where I live. The dr actually was contacting hospitals to find the nearest 1 that could take care of her. Also, I regards to mace. Women, hairspray in the eyes can be just as effective and if you smoke, a steady stream of hairspray with a lighter put to it could easily kill someone. There are so many weapons close at hand that people don't think of.
Another piece of advice is to make sure you have a couple of days worth of close in a carry on bag on the flight to the cruise. Nothing worse than your checked luggage getting lost by the airlines and the only clothes you have for 5 or 6 days is the close you are wearing
You two are amazing! I found this page on a whim while attempting to plan my first ever cruise for myself and my mother and I pray I can book you as our agent. I came in with zero knowledge and have been watching your channel all day. Thanks for all of the gems being dropped!❤️
They are, I too found them on a whim trying to find information for my godsister who has never cruised and extremely apprehensive about doing so. I love their delivery!👍🏽👍🏽
I work in the cruise industry and your advice is good for most lines. Some have different rules about what you are allowed to bring aboard, but overall great advise. Only thing I would add is travel with a passport if possible. The cruise line might not require a passport but you might not be able to fly home from one of the ports if (God forbid, but it happens more then you think) you have a family emergency. 👍🏽
Great advice! I’m glad you showed up on my feed and I will be following your page! My family loves cruising! I’ve been on 5, my mom has been on over 50! One rule we always follow is to get to the port area one day in advance and book a no frills hotel. We board the ship less stressed the next day and if there are any flights delays, we’ve built in an extra day of time. It leaves us less stressed than traveling the day of especially since we live in Wisconsin and winters can be harsh! I also go online and look at old cruise compasses and study the ships layout prior to boarding. I can’t wait until our next cruise! Covid go away please 🙏🏾🤣
The first video ive watched of yours ! Heres my numbers . 1 you stated things with nobrun around and got to the point . 2 you gave great advice !!!❤ 3 you spoke clearly and precisely!! If anyone couldnt understand you , its on them . 4 just enjoyed your video ,and will follow you now !🎉
Glad i found y’all page cuz i was clueless about what we needed for our 1st cruise/ 8th wedding anniversary in march.y’all are so dope i watched like 3 videos and started a checklist and glad i did cuz i just had to order my wife a new birth certificate and i added the prepaid gratuity like u suggested even decided to do 1 big piece of luggage(size is regulation size) and 2 separate carry ones and now i just have to find clothes and I’m all set
I agree with this whole list especially being late. Some people think that saying the ship will leave you if you’re late is just a scare tactic to get you back on time and it’s not. They will and they do leave people if you’re late and then it’s the guest’s responsibility to get to the next port and at their own expense.
Thanks for helpful tips. I was inclined to change my return flight. I had it booked at 10 am , but when y’all mentioned customs have to release the ship, I quickly changed it thank God for Southwest and no change fees.
Never book a return flight earlier than 1pm, the later in the afternoon you book your return flight, the better. Then if your ship is delayed getting back to port, you are not in a hurry to get to the airport and less likely to miss your flight. I actually think 1pm is cutting it too close.
I am so glad I subscribed to your channel. While I’m a seasoned cruiser and knew these tips, y’all’s energy and excitement is awesome in your videos. The new muster drill is so easy and fast now. We just got off the Vista yesterday and the muster took maybe 5 minutes immediately after boarding. Loving the channel! Take care.
Great information! My daughter fell on a cruise and tore up inside of her ankle pretty bad and had to have surgery when she returned. We all learned to get the travel insurance after that. Blessings
I would never thought about travel insurance before but with covid or any other medical problems it's better to have insurance. What if you get robbed or in an accident while overseas? Best to have insurance coverage and not need it then to pay out the ass for care later or find a way to pay or replace lost or stolen items.
Husband and I went on a Carnival Cruise in October 2021. We were directed to our muster station before going to our cabin. No large groups - much more pleasant.
On my last cruise, our neighbor was smoking on their balcony and it made my room fill up with the smell of cigarettes. It was disgusting and couldn't enjoy our balcony. I then HAD to say something to employees because I wasn't about to be charged for my room smelling nasty.
My BFFs and I are going in October 2022 and saving up money and fun money! It is a 7 days cruise as opposed to 3-4 days like before! Thanks for the great tips! 👍❤️
I leave for my cruise in august 2022 my first cruise with my daughter and we are super excited we can’t stop talking about it. Conzule Mexico here we come !!!
I haven't cruised since January of 2020 and I'm cruising on carnival with family in less than two weeks, so I'm excited. Thanks for sharing this video!
Great video! I need to send this video to the people that will be traveling with my husband and I and upcoming Cruise, some of them are first-time Cruisers. Just in case I forget to remind them or tell them anything before traveling this will be a quick way to get out the information that they're going to need to know and don't know. Thank you so much for this convenience and a formative video. You guys are great!
Hubby and I who are "senior" newlyweds, are doing our 1-year anniversary celebration on Carnival Horizon May 14 - 22. He's a smoker and I'm so glad I saw you video. He'd definitely get us kicked off, lol Thank you for all of you pertinent info.
This video was very helpful. I use a cpap machine and I was going to pack it on my cruise in 2 weeks but now I know to carry it on with me. Also, I'm new to your channel and I really enjoy you both. Thank you!
This video saved me a headache. I typically pack my cpap in my checked luggage because it is so small. I would've never known I would have had to put this in a carryon. Thanks guys!!!!
Thank you two . This is our first cruise. We're excited anxious nervous all in one. Your information was so helpful. I screenshotted and saved everything 😁Were cruising with Carnival !
Neither my husband nor I have ever been on a cruise so our first will be April ‘23. I’m an over thinker & over planner so I’m trying to find as much info as possible and this video helped a lot so thank you and I hope your arm gets better soon!
I learned the hard way about the wine in the checked luggage. This past October I didn’t know I had to carry on my wine and yes they took it out of my bag. ☹️
Carnival also provides distilled water for the duration of your trip when you call your travel agent or call Carnival and speak with them there's certain things you can ask for that they will already have in your room so if you have a sleep apnea machine they will provide that water also if you need extension cords they will provide that for you as well and we found out they also provide fans for anyone who thinks their room is too hot or need that extra air flow in their room they will bring that to your room as well for free.
Yeah, but those fans are first come, first serve, so now I bring my own. I CANNOT sleep without one with my asthma. It fits nicely in a corner of my luggage.
I learned to carry on my Cpap and I can bring gallon of Distilled water. Oh and to leave my mace in the car, cuz I was certainly planning to bring IT aboard.
Yes I am enjoying all the information that you guys are giving us this will be our first cruise Carnival Cruise Cruise Breeze I am taking my daughter with me since I am totally blind all this information will help us again we appreciate you and we're from Oklahoma we plan to enjoy this trip on May 8th app 2023
I pretty much knew all that stuff, but it was good to get a reminder. (Most specifically... Okay, okay, yes, I smoked on my balcony my last couple cruises. I think you've convinced me not to risk that again.) This is the first LifeWithUS vid I've seen. I'll catch more. It was very well organized, nicely filmed and edited, and you two are very likeable. Good luck with your healing!
This is excellent advice that made me not want to go on a cruise now. Thank you for your tips it showed me that I do not fit this profile of somebody who would want to be on a ship regulation and oversight I don't really want to check in
You guys did a great job with this video! Cruising in a few days, so I'm looking forward to a great vacation. p.s. We've only sailed RC the past 10 yrs except once. We're giving Carnival another chance after a disastrous and unenjoyable cruise 8 yrs ago with them. Hope it's worth it.
Thank you! So excited spending my 40th bday on the Carnival Horizon (my 1st cruise)!🎉😊 I’m extremely bummed about not being permitted to bring my legal in florida medical marijuana but I already new since federal hasn’t caught up with the times. Insanity to be honest. I’d much rather a cruise full of medicated humans verses drunk and missing 420 crabby lol.
My wife and I just took our first cruise this past weekend. We were on Carnival Liberty. Our issue that we ran into was people not going straight to the Munster stations and prolonging the ship leaving port to start our cruise. We arrived at the port and boarded the boat at 11:30 but I believe it was around 4 or after before we left port
We had a small steamer confiscated and we were able to get it back at the end of our Royal cruises Lol!! We are thankful that Carnival does have laundry rooms on every floor. Our rule of thumb for getting off the ship is whatever time we have to be back on the ship just to be safe we go back an hour earlier. You guys shared some great tips. Thanks for sharing and I have subscribed to your channel! :)
Thank you so much for this valuable information! I’ll be traveling from Cali to Miami in Feb 2022 to go on my first cruise so it’s great to know about the carry-on situation. I’m trying to fill myself with as much information as I can before I go 😂
This is great! Very informative and funny too. My first cruise will be in July from Baltimore ( no plane needed) to Turks/ Caicos. Very excited. Still trying to figure out the drink / water packages. Very excited.
Thank you! Thank you! As a direct sales and groups guest explained these 10 don'ts so many times! I always attempt to sell Fly 2 the Fun to many guests. They just don't listen ! Maybe they WILL listen to YOU as Travel Advisors.
Great advice. Some of the best I’ve seen in a long time. We’ve seen 2 different couples get into fights on 2 different cruises. One was right across the hall from us. They had to separate them. On one cruise we caught the wife on one of the upper decks messing around with one of the first mates.
@@LifeWithUsTV and on one cruise, the husband stayed drunk the entire cruise. He was always in a bar. I felt sorry for his wife. Finally she was feed up and she told him off.
Thank you so much for such helpful information on all aspects, especially first time cruisers. We are taking our first on Carnival coming this October. You two are awesome!!!
Me and my wife are taking our first Cruise in July! We are sailing on the Legend and we can not wait! Your videos made us finally book it lol! Thanks a million!!
So mad rn bc I was going aug. 29 for my birthday out of mobile but had to reschedule for September 29 but hey, we still going! And it’s the last one I believe for carnival ecstasy so I will get to say goodbye to my first cruise ship 🥲 so here I am watching y’all and getting excited
I’ve been cruising since 2013, but in 10 days ok taking my first cruise during the pandemic and was looking for tips! Yo!! I found your channel and you have dropped so many gems I haven’t thought about! You gained a new subscriber. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I absolutely love you two ... I've been following y'all for awhile, but, recently started commenting... I was being shy... not any more, y'all are my Boos....
Great video. New subscriber. The muster drill on Holland America was quick and easy. They told us if you didn’t report they would find you and remove you prior to departure so skipping it was not an option unless you didn’t plan to cruise after paying. Also it was my first cruise outside of the intros I attended in NY as a travel agent years ago and I didn’t realize that taking the ginger ale from the in room frig we would still be charged for even though we replaced it. We had unlimited drinks. It was a crazy charge like $10. Another issue was I bought alcohol on the ship you can only buy outside of the United States. We booked our hotel for two days prior and 3 days after the cruise. I wasn’t going to be able to take it on the plane. Had to pay to ship it UPS and it was not cheap. USPS wouldn’t ship it. I would also like to stress the importance of travel insurance. My partner became ill on the plane from NY to Seattle where we embarked. I almost left him at the hotel. Sorry Pop but losing $4k wasn’t palatable to me. He was the one who refused to pay for the insurance. There was noro virus on our ship. And I might add they did an excellent job of cleaning and keeping us safe and only two people tested positive. But one woman they though had it was removed at one port tested neg and was helicoptered back to the ship at the next port. Juneau to Sitka I believe. And IT DIDN'T COST HER A PENNY!
On booking the return flight… We’ve been on two cruises that couldn’t get back in to the home port because of fog and we had to wait a few hours before getting into port.
Great Video! I always get travel insurance because if you have medical issue and they need to medivac you home, it can cost $50K+. Also, countries may have a national heath plan/system but that is not for you. They will charge you the US uninsured rate. You can get a better rate on sites that will compare several companies. Usually better prices and more coverage than the cruise line. I suggest you do a video on why you should have a passport. 1) If you don't have Real ID, you can use a passport to fly. 2) If some thing happens and you need to exit the cruise, by choice or not, having a passport will make getting back home a whole lot easier. 3) If you have a passport, you can take advantage to cheap trips to Europe. Heck, Europe is cheaper than Disney World and the food is a lot better.
No need for irons, Downy Wrinkle Release spray works perfectly... just unpack, hang up your clothes, then spray your clothes, place in closer... or hang your outfit in the bathroom as you shower...

@@karateday Wow thanks! Have a bunch of international trips coming up this year and that is exactly what my partner and I have been looking for.
Awesome thank you 😊
As a person who use to do customer service for Carnival, I suggest everyone take these tips to heart. All 11 are absolute facts.
Aw thank you
Another tip is to notify credit card and banks of travel .
Great point!!!
They said that in another tips video. This is a video stating what NOT to do. 🤦🏾♂️
Notify your credit card. They will call your house and ask if you made a charge in another country. If you miss that call they will deny the charge.😢
@@florencejones7802 Do you still have a house phone? 📞
Yes
These two should have a TV show!!!! Absolutely awesome entertaining and fun couple!!!! Can’t wait to Cruse with you guys!!!!!
🥰🥰
Yes I went on it last month and it was great! I hope they all start doing that!
The muster drill on Carnival Mardi Gras was so streamlined last week. It was amazing. All I had to do was go the the designated area, they scan your sail & card and you keep it moving. You look at the safety drill on your room TV at your convenience.
Same on our last sailing
I loved it. I cruised on the Mardi Gras too nov 20-27 and the muster was so efficient. Good job Carnival
@@coreyboy7257 Wish I'd known. Could have said Hi!
Great! They should've been doing it like that. Saves a lot of time
I’ll be on it Jan 8th!

i went to the coco cay island it is really fun
Y'all are a hoot! We haven't cruised in a few years so this was a great refresher on necessary information.
Some great advise here! I'm leaving November 12th from Galveston on the Breeze. Looking forward to some relaxing and good eating!
I have a big question, what's a good cabin ? I have ocean view and I believe I'm on lower deck I can change this?
Ocean views are on decks 1 and 2. To be higher you’d need to secure a balcony
I like the muster drill
Omg
Neither my husband nor I have ever been on a cruise so our first will be April ‘23. I’m an over thinker & over planner so I’m trying to find as much info as possible and this video helped a lot so thank you and I hope your arm gets better soon!
Thank you. Hunnie you need a travel agent because you’ll spend more time researching than it’s worth. Most over thinkers become agents lol
Always bring your drinks carry on.
Don't be late set all your clocks to ship time.
I learned the hard way about the wine in the checked luggage. This past October I didn’t know I had to carry on my wine and yes they took it out of my bag. ☹️
Oh no, they’ll take it in a heartbeat then sometimes some peoples actually make it lol
I did the same thing but I raised a stink and they brought it back to me
y'all are relatable ..glad I found yall
Thank you
Thank you for this info my family and I are going on a carnival cruise in February 2022 this was very helpful ☺️ 🙏🏾

We arrived at the port and boarded the boat at 11:30 but I believe it was around 4 or after before we left port
We had a small steamer confiscated and we were able to get it back at the end of our Royal cruises Lol!! We are thankful that Carnival does have laundry rooms on every floor. Our rule of thumb for getting off the ship is whatever time we have to be back on the ship just to be safe we go back an hour earlier. You guys shared some great tips. Thanks for sharing and I have subscribed to your channel! :)
Welcome to the fam
I had to wait in someone to finish ironing their clothes.. I might use their dry cleaning service next time
@@1dbedfo it does suck to see people waiting for an iron! The dry cleaning option would be nice
Watching in 2024…Thanks for sharing, was thinking about 11am flight to go back home after the cruise.
Thank you so much for this valuable information! I’ll be traveling from Cali to Miami in Feb 2022 to go on my first cruise so it’s great to know about the carry-on situation. I’m trying to fill myself with as much information as I can before I go 😂
That’s wassup
My husband and I are cruising with some couple friends at the end of October! This is our first cruise….THANK YOU for the wonderful tips!
This is great! Very informative and funny too. My first cruise will be in July from Baltimore ( no plane needed) to Turks/ Caicos. Very excited. Still trying to figure out the drink / water packages. Very excited.
Thank you! Thank you! As a direct sales and groups guest explained these 10 don'ts so many times! I always attempt to sell Fly 2 the Fun to many guests. They just don't listen ! Maybe they WILL listen to YOU as Travel Advisors.
Great advice. Some of the best I’ve seen in a long time. We’ve seen 2 different couples get into fights on 2 different cruises. One was right across the hall from us. They had to separate them. On one cruise we caught the wife on one of the upper decks messing around with one of the first mates.
Oh wow 😯 they pay all of that money to act up smh
@@LifeWithUsTV and on one cruise, the husband stayed drunk the entire cruise. He was always in a bar. I felt sorry for his wife. Finally she was feed up and she told him off.
That First Mate acted unprofessionally, in carrying on with a passenger!
I would love if you would add subtitles to your videos. Love your vibe!
I just booked Valor for September 2022 🎉

Carnival provides bottled water for a CPAP. It has minerals added for taste and is not the same as distilled water.
Thank you for the info on the CPAP machine and distilled water. We’ll be cruising in Dec ‘22 and my husband will be carrying his
Thanks I am binge watching all your videos taking a Mother’s Day cruise. My first time 🛳
That’s awesome
Great video. New subscriber. The muster drill on Holland America was quick and easy. They told us if you didn’t report they would find you and remove you prior to departure so skipping it was not an option unless you didn’t plan to cruise after paying. Also it was my first cruise outside of the intros I attended in NY as a travel agent years ago and I didn’t realize that taking the ginger ale from the in room frig we would still be charged for even though we replaced it. We had unlimited drinks. It was a crazy charge like $10. Another issue was I bought alcohol on the ship you can only buy outside of the United States. We booked our hotel for two days prior and 3 days after the cruise. I wasn’t going to be able to take it on the plane. Had to pay to ship it UPS and it was not cheap. USPS wouldn’t ship it. I would also like to stress the importance of travel insurance. My partner became ill on the plane from NY to Seattle where we embarked. I almost left him at the hotel. Sorry Pop but losing $4k wasn’t palatable to me. He was the one who refused to pay for the insurance. There was noro virus on our ship. And I might add they did an excellent job of cleaning and keeping us safe and only two people tested positive. But one woman they though had it was removed at one port tested neg and was helicoptered back to the ship at the next port. Juneau to Sitka I believe. And IT DIDN'T COST HER A PENNY!
Everything you said ✔️✔️. Yes that insurance is soooo important
On booking the return flight… We’ve been on two cruises that couldn’t get back in to the home port because of fog and we had to wait a few hours before getting into port.
Thank you for all the wonderful tips and info! I’m going on my first cruise on Thursday 🥳 I’m so excited
Thanks for advice I mlearning alot about cruise ship.
Absolutely
Great advice you two! I'm preparing for a cruise leaving this Saturday do this was right on time! Lynette, great to see you girl doing your thing. 😊🙌🏾
Thank you Friend 🥰
Great tips I worked for the assistance company carnival used for years for their insurance and the insurance is a must!
Amen
Thanks for all the great updated info. You guys great in those shirts and glasses. 😊
Great Video! I always get travel insurance because if you have medical issue and they need to medivac you home, it can cost $50K+. Also, countries may have a national heath plan/system but that is not for you. They will charge you the US uninsured rate. You can get a better rate on sites that will compare several companies. Usually better prices and more coverage than the cruise line. I suggest you do a video on why you should have a passport. 1) If you don't have Real ID, you can use a passport to fly. 2) If some thing happens and you need to exit the cruise, by choice or not, having a passport will make getting back home a whole lot easier. 3) If you have a passport, you can take advantage to cheap trips to Europe. Heck, Europe is cheaper than Disney World and the food is a lot better.
No need for irons, Downy Wrinkle Release spray works perfectly... just unpack, hang up your clothes, then spray your clothes, place in closer... or hang your outfit in the bathroom as you shower...
Thanks for this tip, getting some this week.
Thanks for the info very helpful
