Where should we stay in Miami?

Some properties located near the Port of Miami include the Fairfield Inn, Courtyard Marriott & Marriott Resort.

 

All three properties are located right next to each other at 1201 NW LeJune Rd in Miami and are very convenient to both the Miami airport & Port of Miami.

 

When will I be sent my boarding documentation?

Carnival uses the "Funpass" system which allows you to print your boarding pass online, much like an E-Ticket. Upon booking confirmation, you will be given a unique BOOKING NUMBER and be directed to the Carnival website.

Official boarding for Motley Cruise is from 1:00pm-1:30pm ET on Friday, January 12, although earlier boarding could be available depending on how quickly Customs clears the ship from its’ previous voyage. Everyone must be on the ship by 4:00pm ET. Failure to appear for embarkation for any reason constitutes a cancellation subject to full penalties. No refund for no shows. If you are flying to the port on departure day you are advised to schedule an arrival of no later than 12:00 Noon ET.

Debarkation typically begins at 8:00am ET on Monday, January 15, but can be delayed by (a) Carnival holding debarkation to collect on outstanding Sail & Sign balances and/or (b) Customs holding debarkation to finalize any declarations.

What type of identification will I need to board the ship?

****** A PASSPORT IS REQUIRED

Proper travel documentation is required at embarkation and throughout the cruise. Even though a guest has completed registration using FUNPASS, it is still the responsibility of the guest to bring all required travel documents.

 

Can I attend if I am pregnant or just had a baby?

Any guest entering her third trimester (27 weeks or more) is not permitted to sail and will be denied boarding. This policy is in place for the safety of the guest. The ship infirmaries are only equipped for minor emergencies, and are not hospitals. Infants under 4 months old are also not permitted to sail.

 

 * (additional fee required - see Activity Fee)

Can I sit with my friends at dinner?

In order to best accommodate the hundreds of special dining requests, dinner is open seating. What this means is that you are not assigned to a specific table, just a specific dining time and dining room.

  • Dinner seating is selected at the time you place your reservation and applies to everyone in your cabin.

 

You may sit with anyone in your same assigned time and dining room. If you want to sit with specific people for dinner, you should simply arrive together at the dining room. The dining room staff will then seat your group at a table. To best accommodate seating a group together, please arrive on time, as tables may fill up and large groups may not be able to be accommodated all at one table.

 

Can special diets be accommodated?

Guests with diet requirements can be accommodated on board. We do not have Dieticians onboard; therefore, we can only offer assistance with simple requests such as the method of preparation of menu items. The special diet requirements need to be arranged with the guest's Headwaiter on the first night of the cruise. Every menu (in the dining room) has Spa Carnival Cuisine Fare. These items are lower in calories, sodium, cholesterol and fat. Salads are prepared with diet dressing. Desserts are prepared with Sweet'N Low or NutraSweet instead of sugar. In addition, each menu has one vegetarian entree. Low-cholesterol egg substitute is available upon request as well as diet jellies at breakfast.

 

The following simple diets can be prepared onboard:

  • vegetarian

  • salt-free

  • bland

  • low sugar

 

The following food is not available onboard:

  • kosher meals

  • Baby Food and Formula

 

What is Carnival’s Sign & Sail program and how does it work?

Sail & Sign is Carnival's cashless on board credit program which allows guests to charge purchases directly to a personal account for convenience throughout the cruise.

 

Registration will take place on sailing day at embarkation or on board at the Information Desk.

 

The completed application form (included in the cruise documents) must be submitted along with a 1) credit card, 2) U.S. currency, or 3) traveler's checks.

 

Personalized Sail & Sign cards will be provided to all guests on a booking (including minors) and are valid for use immediately upon boarding the ship.

 

The Information Desk can provide guests with a balance update at any time throughout the cruise.

 

All charges will automatically be billed to the guest's credit card at the end of the voyage. On the final morning of the cruise, a statement detailing all purchases made with the Sail & Sign card will be delivered to the guest's stateroom. The total amount will be applied to the credit card presented during registration. For those guests who put down a cash deposit, if there is an overpayment at the end of the cruise, the guest will receive the overpayment in the form of a check attached to their detailed statement on the final morning of the cruise.

 

Any inquiries regarding a Sail & Sign Account made after the cruise, need to be referred to the Guest Relations Department (71551) for researching.

 

Note:

The American Express "Persona Select" is not an acceptable credit card.

 

Regular ATM debit cards are not acceptable.

 

Guests may use a checking account debit card as long as it is a registered MasterCard or Visa card.

 

A guest traveling without his/her parents cannot use the parents' credit card even with the parents' written permission

The cardholding guest must be an authorized signer by the card issuing bank.

 

Upon completion of the Sail & Sign Application Form, the cardholder agrees to pay for the individuals indicated on the form; it is not necessary for these individuals to be booked in the same room as the cardholder.

 

Important Note: A hold will be placed on the credit card or checking account debit card at the beginning of the cruise as a deposit for an onboard purchases. This will reduce the amount of available credit on the credit card or restrict the availability of cash in the checking account. The hold will be released and actual charges will be billed at the end of the cruise.

 

What shore excursions are available in Nassau?

Carnival does offer a variety of shore excursion the day we’ll be in Nassau. If Carnival does not allow online reservations you will be able to book your excursion once we get on board.

 

What type of child care is available?

Carnival will still run its Camp Carnival program for kids up to 17 years old.

 

Can I call home from the ship?

The rate is $6.99 per minute for calls to the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico and $9.99 per minute for all International calls and will be billed to your cabin.
