although there is some info here there is still crucial info within the video that you need to watch to understand
You absolutely must take your photo ID if you are using a birth certificate.
We went on our first cruise March 7th. We drove 4 hours on embarkation day got to check-in and my husband left his real id license at home on his nightstand. The kicker, the backup non real id ,that was technically still valid, had been in my wallet but i had changed to a smaller purse and wallet for vacation.
The utter panic and stress of trying to reach my mom,who was at my house staying with my kids, to get it and send photos of it was not the way to start a vacation. We were extremely fortunate that they chose to accept his VA id card with pictures of his license from my mom.
Let me tell you, we got home on a Monday, that Saturday we were at a post office applying for passports.
Anytime I get a notification, I can't wait to watch you two! One of my favorite couples! I feel like I know you all in real life lol.
Thank you so much!!
Everyone please get a Passport. Print all documents, excursion and hotel even if you have it on your phone. I took my ten year old year granddaughter on Carnival and Royal. I didn’t need a notarized letter from her parents. She does have a passport maybe that why they didn’t ask for the letter 😌. Also check those credit cards a lot of them cover some parts of your cruise, luggage and airfare. It’s better to have more than less. Great vlog guys❤
The notarized letter is in case something happened and you needed to make a decision for her. The cruise line may not ask for it, unless she needed medical services. Then you’d have to call her parents without that letter, even in an emergency.
Hey my Sister and Brother, my Queen and I made our first cruise in October last year, and we are doing our second one in November, thank you 2 for all your information it helped so much, we're doing Carnival Valor again until we can do a different ship
I don't think I've seen any other video that was this thorough! Now I'm gonna watch all the videos yall have posted! I was freaking out but now I feel like I'm prepared thanks yall so much
🥰
I'm gonna see if I can find my original baptismal record from 1977 or 78 😂
Also. Thanks for the info about traveling with a minor who isn't your child. We're doing that this summer and we're getting our ducks in a row for that part of our trip now.
My oldest is walking that stage May 24th and my only niece will be walking June 1st 😁💞. June 3rd, were on Freedom 😁🏝️
Very informative great video ❤
Yall I'm finally doing it -- my first carnival cruise! Send me good energy lol. Also, quick question, is it possible to upgrade/change staterooms once on the ship? My sailing is sold out and I didn't book quickly enough to secure a balcony.
Not if it’s sold out. Doesn’t hurt to try though
@@LifeWithUsTV yea....not that I want someone's downfall....however in the event that a balcony person couldn't make it for whatever reason was the thought process 😅. Thank you!
Love watching y’all videos. Been on my 1st cruise in March but, just wanted to watch 😊
Hi to you both!! I’m new to this cruising!! I’m cruising with my family and my additional family members (all 17 of us, my momma and daddy, brothers and wives and all the children)!! We are going in early July!! ❤🎉 I like to tell you it’s wonderful that I stumbled on to your videos! ❤😊 Such a beautiful job in answering my questions with what I was thinking about. You are my go to couple!! Thank you for sharing your information!! ❤❤❤❤
Have fun! 🤩
You and Stanley made my first cruise last year on the Magic july 2023 flawless and so easy.. With that being my first cruise. From checkin to debarktion I felt like I had been cruising for years.. IT was just that easy.. Sailing on the Mardi Gras in August of 2025.
When is the 'Life with Us' cruise coming?
Thanks so much for the videos. I’m so nervous
Hey guys. Feels like it’s been a minute. Thanks for explaining the difference of closed loop. I’m hollering when Lynnette said the BC with the 🦶 print not valid 😂😂😂. All great info. Thanks for sharing. Been traveling since months old. Have had a passport my entire life.
Heyyy fam!!
Travelling from Japan to go on my first cruise next month.. cant wait!!
This was very good information, much appreciated.
Hey fam. Just wanted to say i love yall. And thanks for all you do from the vlogs to videos like this givimg all this good information. Love from NC
Great tips as always!
Hey fam, it's good to see you. Y'all look great 👍🏽
Thank you so much 🤗
Thank you so much for this invaluable information.
Outstanding information as always
I swear the more cruises I’ve gone on it seems like they’ve been checking documents less and less. I just got off the jubilee Saturday and customs was just sitting there on their phone doing nothing lol
Especially if you have a passport. It’s facial recognition
Thank you so much fave.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been freaking trying to make sure I have everything I need. Everybody has been telling me different things. I go on my first cruise with carnival in October. And I’m so confused on do I need a passport or not. 😩 I’ve been doing my research trying to see what I need to pack.
All info also can be found on Carnival.com just to ease your mind 🥰
Y’all r the best
Great content❤
My favorite cousins. ❤
Love the shirts!
Thank you
For the co-parenting situation is there an official document on Carnival's website that we have to print out or do we just write up some kind of letter ourselves and have it notarized?
Write out and notarized
Questions, if you are going on a closed loop sailing, does the passport still need to be valid for 6 months from the last day of travel as well?
2nd question, on a closed loop sailing, is a state issued driver's license alone sufficient, or do you also need to have a birth certificate?
If you sail with a passport it must meet the criteria.
Thanx for the info guys: So just to make sure, if I have a permanent Resident Alien card..I’m ok to embark?
Yes
Can you buy straight bourbon or vodka on the carnival sunshine cruise ship?
I'll be sailing with my wife and grandson in one cabin. My son and his wife my grandsons parents will be in a different cabin. Will we still need notarized letter? This is on Royal, not Carnival.
Nope
Hey hey hey beautiful couple ❤❤❤
If you have and Enhanced ID on a closed looped cruise would you still need your birth certificate???? Going on my very first cruise and just making sure we all have our ducks in a row.
Yep 🥰. Unless they change the rules in 2025
Just making g sure ...so a 16yr old doesn't need need an ID fro. The dmv as long as they have their school ID with picture o. It ?
Hi,
I along with my spouse and kids have Cranival Breeze trip in June.
Found this video very very helpful, lots of thanks for making such a informative video.
I have a question, we all have Indian Passport with valid Visa's (6 months+ expiry).
I hope this will work all the places, serves as good Photo Id.
I also have Texas DL but my wife and kids just have passports with Visa stamped.
Do you see any challenge ??
Already reached to Carnival, they are like check with US customs.
Hi guys👋🏾 Is the cruise line insurance enough?
It’s a start but it depends on your need
Question how about non US citizens can go cruise from Miami going to Caribbean like Bahamas or Turk island or half moon cay need visa this or just passport only ??
I'm going on my first cruise next summer. I'm going to the Bahamas from Miami. Will I need to get a passport?
Not required
If someone else paid for my cruise with their credit card how can I get carnival insurance or do I have to go with an independent insurance company
You can add it and pay for it with your card
#teamreplay... Still great information 😊
Hey do you anyone has recommendations on hotels near the Miami Port? Leaving April 25. Thank you

Thank you❤
Don’t see the Wi-Fi video I wanted to know if it’s worth getting
Hey Fam! this video is coming soon.
My husband, our two kids and I are going on a Carnival cruise in May. I have legal and physical custody of my daughter, but my husband is not her biological father. Her father does still have visitation rights though. Will I still need a notarized letter from him?
No but when in question get it
@@LifeWithUsTV thank you! My daughter and I love watching your channel! 😊
My sister is traveling with her daughter, she's 14 and last names are different, but she is bringing her BC is that an issue? Also, is a letter needed from her father that is not going?
No need 🥰
PLEASE if someone can answer me: traveling soon roundtrip sail from Miami with foreign passport that will expire 5.5 months after the cruise. US resident with GREEN CARD. Will I be deny boarding?
Must be valid 6 months
Where is the luggage tag link?
Description field
I am traveling with my minor child on a closed loop cruise in 2 weeks unfortunately father is not in picture but he has a different name from me on his birth certificate. Do I still need something notarized or me as the only parent with a different same but I am on the birth certificate be just fine?
Nope. You are primary parent 🥰
So if you have your passport book would you still need your birth certificate
No
Hey my passport expires in May of 2025 when is the last time I can travel
Oct- Novemberish
I believe it would be Oct of 2024
😂
Depends on the requirements of the countries you are visiting. The US says it is good until it expires. Some countries want 3 months left some others want 6 months. Always check with your cruise line for the requirements of your trip
@LifeWithUsTv
Would you know the requirements are to Mexico from Long Beach?
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I took my god sons on Carnival last summer got all the paperwork they didn't ask for skit smh
You have put out bad info on the passport card. Some so called close loop cruises require a passport book. Countries like Panama, Grenada and Mortinique require a book and not a card. Please inform people to research exactly when and where the card is to be used. Sorry but we had friends denied boarding a Panama cruise several years ago because they did not have a passport book. Please inform people who want to travel to get a Passport Book. It will never be denied and is only $13.00 a year. Please emphasis this better.
That’s not what we said . We said for Puerto Rico depending on your ports stay up to date with what’s needed. But ayeee.
