These Bliss menus were collected on a 2024 Alaska itinerary and should give you a very good idea of what to expect. While the menus are generally the same on every 7-night cruise, double check once onboard as there may be slight variations to the menus depending on your particular itinerary and available items and prices do occasionally change.

“Dive-In Movies” are one of the things I love most about cruising on Carnival.

Introduction Ours was cabin 5609 located on deck 5 midship. And by “our,” I mean my mom and I. This was a bucket list extended family cruise taking place over two holidays and a birthday and in total we booked three cabins, two interiors and one club balcony. My mom drew the short straw and had to share one of the inside cabins with me. I kept arguing that it could have been worse, that she could have been in with the 10 year-old who believes that showering more than once a week is an unspeakable burden or his father who believes sleeping past 4am is excessively lazy. Still, 16-nights in a ti ..read more

If you see a post like this in one of your groups, please warn your fellow cruisers and alert your admin so they can remove it. It makes me sad and angry to see pe ..read more

Introduction: Is A Passport Required To Cruise? One of the most common questions I receive from Americans is: Am I required to have a passport to cruise? In most cases, the answer is no. Why? Because the vast majority of cruises sailing from United States ports are closed loop cruises, meaning they depart from and return to the same U.S. port. United States citizens sailing on closed loop cruises, even if visiting foreign ports (which they all have to do by law), can usually sail with both a valid form of U.S. government I.D. (if under 16, this isn’t required) and a certified birth certificat ..read more

Carnival to Begin Restricting the Size of Mobility Scooters and Enforcing “No Parking” Policy John Heald, Carnival’s Brand Ambassador posted the following to his Facebook page recently: I would like to chat please with those of you who use a mobility scooter when you cruise with us.
