Pre-Cruise: Carnival Website

We embark Carnival Mardi Gras tomorrow and we have completed all of the required pre-cruise check-in procedures on the Carnival website. Unlike Princess Cruises, which forces you to perform many pre-cruise procedures using their MedallionClass App, Carnival allows you to complete all of your forms online through their well-designed website. I much prefer typing information into a website on a computer than on a tiny screen with a tiny keypad. Thank you Carnival!

Carnival still has its own HUB app, which can be downloaded and utilized while onboard the ship. We will be thoroughly exploring and reporting on the use of the HUB app during this cruise.

The Carnival website is very well laid out and allows you to pre-book a variety of spa, dining and shore excursion activities. You can also order items to be delivered to your stateroom prior to embarkation. We always order a dozen of the plastic bottles of water for our stateroom. At $4.95 it is quite a bargain.

Unfortunately, we were unable to secure a spot at The Chef’s Table as every evening was SOLD OUT. What a shame, it was one of our favorite experiences and one we love to report on. We will be dining at Fahrenheit 555, Bonsai Teppanyaki, Cucina del Capitano and Rudi’s. Follow us on YouTube and Instagram (@Cruisereport) for up-to-the-minute photos and videos from these venues, and much more.

We have always been impressed with Carnival’s website and it appears to have only improved with time. This morning, we will be heading to CVS to get our Covid-19 test, which is required to board the ship.
