Royal Caribbean handles this exact itinerary out of the Cruise Maryland Terminal using their ship, Vision of the Seas.The 5-Night Bermuda ItineraryBecause Baltimore is further north up the Chesapeake Bay, it takes a little extra sailing time to reach the Atlantic tropics. A 5-night cruise is structured perfectly to give you a mix of relaxing sea days and a solid chunk of time on the island:Days 1 & 2: Depart Baltimore and spend a full day at sea cruising down the coast and out into the Atlantic. Day 3: Arrive at the Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda around mid-afternoon. Day 4: Enjoy a full day on the island (famous for its pink sand beaches and golf courses) before departing in the afternoon.Day 5: A final day at sea to enjoy the ship's amenities, pools, and dining.Day 6: Arrive back in Baltimore early in the morning. When Do They Sail?These 5-night itineraries are highly seasonal, running regularly through the warmer months from May through October.Good to Know: While Carnival Cruise Line also sails heavily out of Baltimore (using ships like Carnival Pride and Carnival Legend), their itineraries from this port are typically longer—usually averaging 7 to 14 nights to reach the Bahamas, the Caribbean, or Canada/New England. If you are strictly locked into a 5-day window from Baltimore, Royal Caribbean's Bermuda run is your best bet. 301-237-4971
U.S. Citizens Proper travel documentation is required at embarkation and throughout the cruise. Even though a guest has completed registration using Online Check-in, it is still the responsibility of the guest to present the required travel documents at the time of embarkation. Guests should check with their travel agent and/or government authority to determine the travel documents necessary for each port of call. Any guest without proper documents will not be allowed to board the vessel and no refund of the cruise fare will be issued. Carnival assumes no responsibility for advising guests of proper travel documentation. Except where it is a mandatory requirement, Carnival highly recommends that all guests travel with a passport book. The passport book must be valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel. This will enhance the debarkation experience as delays may be expected upon return to the United States for those without one. Additionally, this will enable guests to fly from the United States to meet their ship at a foreign port should they miss their scheduled port of embarkation and allow guests who must disembark the ship before their cruise ends, due to an emergency, to fly back to the United States without significant delays and complications. U.S. Domestic CruisesFor certain cruises that begin and end in the same U.S port, the following WHTI-compliant documents are acceptable for cruise travel (please see below for travel document requirements for voyages visiting Colombia, Greenland, Martinique and Panama). * U.S. Passport Book (valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel)U.S. Passport Card (valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel)State Enhanced Driver's LicenseCertificate of U.S. NaturalizationNative American Indian CardU.S.-born citizens may also use a birth certificate (issued by a government agency or Department of Health and Vital Statistics) and accompanied by government-issued photo ID; a Mobile/Digital version of a photo ID is not an acceptable form of identification. * Travel document exceptions for U.S. domestic cruises that begin and end in the same U.S. homeport, calling on the following ports of call:Colombia - mandatory requirement for passport book or card (valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel).Greenland - mandatory requirement for passport book (valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel).Panama - passport book (valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel) required for guests who wish to go ashore in Panama. Guests using another form of WHTI-compliant document (including a passport card) to sail must remain on board when the ship visits Panama.Martinique, FWI - passport book (valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel) required for guests who wish to go ashore in Martinique. Guests using another form of WHTI-compliant document (including a passport card) to sail must remain on board when the ship visits Martinique. * Travel document exceptions for U.S. domestic cruises that begin and end in different U.S. homeports: Mandatory requirement for passport book or passport card (valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel). Australia, New Zealand, Asia and Transpacific CruisesU.S citizens are required to carry a passport book, valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel. Visas and/or specific travel documentation may be required for some destinations. Europe and Transatlantic CruisesU.S citizens are required to carry a passport book, valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel. ETA – UK Electronic Travel AuthorizationAll travelers (as of January 8, 2025) who do not hold a passport to the United Kingdom or Ireland must obtain an electronic visa, known as the UK Travel Authorization to enter the UK by air or sea.Electronic visa applications are open for non-European nationalities. Click here to apply:https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-for-an-electronic-travel-authorisation-etaPlease note:The visa can take up to three business days to obtain.The ETA will be issued electronically and will remain valid for two years or until the associated passport expires.All guests traveling, including children and infants must acquire an ETA. ETiAS - European Travel Information and Authorization SystemOfficial website: https://travel-europe.europa.eu/etias_enETIAS is an electronic system that is being implemented in Europe to screen travelers before they enter the Schengen Area. It's an authorization, not a visa, for visa-exempt individuals (including U.S. and Canadian citizens), travelling to most European countries. Please note: The projected implementation timeframe for ETIAS is the last quarter of 2026. Additional information will be provided once more details about the start date, requirements and the application process have been established. Air TravelAll persons are required to carry a valid, unexpired U.S. passport for air travel to or from the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda. The passport requirement does NOT apply to U.S. citizens traveling to or returning directly from a U.S. territory (Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands: St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix). Effective May 7, 2025, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will require every state and territory resident to present a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or another acceptable form of identification, such as a passport or enhanced driver’s license, to go through airport security and board a flight within the U.S. If you will be flying to one of our cruise homeports within the U.S. on/after this implementation date, please ensure you have an acceptable document for your air travel. Visit www.tsa.gov/real-id for more information.Note: All guests must still have WHTI-compliant travel documents (proof of citizenship and/or appropriate visas) in order to cruise. Names on Travel DocumentationIt is important that the guest's full name (first name and last name) on the cruise and airline tickets be the same as the guest's unexpired, government-issued photo ID that will be used for travel identification. In the event of a different name on the cruise/airline ticket and the guest's photo ID because of a marriage, divorce or a legal name change, documentation (original or clear, legible copy) supporting this change is required at embarkation, such as a marriage certificate, marriage license or legal name change court document. Failure to bring documentation bridging the name differences could result in denial of boarding.Soon-to-be or recently married guests – we recommend the cruise reservation be booked using the maiden name, provided the guest does not have official documents (marriage certificate, etc.) to confirm the name change. Guests sailing with birth certificate and government-issued ID – if the names differ between the two documents, guests will be required to show official documentation that confirms the legal name change (example – marriage certificate, adoption, deed poll, U.S. naturalization). Traveling with MinorsWhen traveling with a minor where one parent or both parents or legal guardians are not cruising, we strongly recommend bringing an original, signed letter from the absent parent(s) or legal guardians authorizing the minor to travel with you. If there is no second parent with legal claims to the minor (due to sole custody, deceased, etc.) other relevant paperwork, such as a court decision, death certificate, birth certificate naming only one parent, would be useful to bring in place of a signed letter. This will expedite processing by the Department of Homeland Security. Citizens of U.S. Territories and CommonwealthGuests will follow the same travel documentation requirements. U.S. Territories and Commonwealth include: Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands (St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John), America Samoa, Swains Island and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Passport – The hassle-free way to travelFor some voyages, traveling with a passport book is a requirement. Even when not required, we strongly recommend traveling with a passport. You will be traveling internationally, a passport (book) is the best document for hassle-free travel. Not only will a passport enhance your embarkation experience, it will also get you through the customs and immigration processing faster at debarkation.If you are looking for something more accessible, a passport card will also provide a speedy embarkation and debarkation experience. Passport cards are a nice alternative to passport books for sea travel to countries within Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) countries and may also be used as REAL ID (for domestic air travel purposes).In the event an emergency arises, a passport book is the only acceptable document for flying back home from overseas.Note: A passport (book or card) must be valid for at least six months after the last day of the cruise.For more information, click here U.S. Passport BookU.S. citizens may present a valid, unexpired U.S. passport book when traveling via air, land, or sea. The passport book must be valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel. Guests may apply for passports at passport-acceptance facilities nationwide.

The U.S. Passport CardThe passport card cannot be used to travel by air outside the United States.U.S. citizens may present a limited-use, wallet-size passport card. The passport card will only be valid for land and sea travel between the United States and Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean region, and Bermuda. State Enhanced Driver's License (EDL)The State Enhanced Driver's License (EDL) cannot be used to travel by air outside the United States.Several states are working with the Department of Homeland Security to develop an EDL for U.S. citizens residing in their states. This document will denote both citizenship and identity and will facilitate the entry process at land and seaports of entry. The words ‘Enhanced Driver's License’ as well as the American flag will appear on the license. The following states issue this type of WHTI-compliant document: Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Vermont, and Washington. A driver's license with a gold circle with star cutout in the right upper corner is a Real ID driver's license; it is not an Enhanced Driver's license and cannot be used as proof of citizenship but can be used as picture identification. A Mobile/Digital version of an EDL is not an acceptable form of travel documentation. Original Certificate of U.S. Naturalization and a Government-Issued Photo IDThe Certificate of U.S. Naturalization (form N-550 or N-570) is a document issued by the U.S. government (USCIS) as proof of a foreign-born person who has obtained U.S. citizenship through naturalization (a legal process of obtaining a new nationality). Photocopies of the original document are unacceptable. A Mobile/Digital version of a photo ID is not an acceptable form of identification.

To help you plan, we suggest you limit your luggage to a maximum of one bag per person, if traveling on cruises of 3-5 days duration, and no more than two bags per person, for cruises of 6 days or longer. In addition, you must personally carry-on any boarding documentation (passports, Visas, I.D), valuables, medications and items which require special handling.Guests who are scheduled to arrive at the terminal before 1:30 PM, usually check their bags with a porter so they can be free to enjoy lunch on Lido Deck before access to their stateroom is granted.Checked baggage service is only available until 2 hours before the ship's published sailing time (printed in the cruise documents). Guests arriving after this time will be responsible for taking their bags on board. Each checked suit case and carry-on suit case should not weigh more than 50 pounds, and when lying flat, bags must not exceed 16 inches high by 24 inches wide (the length of the bag is not a factor). For security screening purposes, all luggage should be unlocked. Oversized luggage and locked luggage may cause delivery delays. Personalized luggage tags are included in the guest’s Electronic Documents (available once online check-in is completed). It is not necessary to print the tags in color.Carnival luggage tags must be affixed to your baggage prior to arriving at the terminal. Additional tags can be obtained at curbside from the porter. Porters will re-tag any luggage tag with a TBA cabin assignment.Curbside porters are customarily provided a $1 tip per bag. They are not employees of Carnival and should a guest experiences any problems, they must report it to porter management on site.Since the screening and movement of large coolers through embarkation is an impediment to the boarding and security screening process, large coolers are not permitted as carry-on or checked luggage. Small, personal-sized coolers, no larger than 12 inches x 12 inches x 12 inches, for the purpose of housing small quantities of non-alcoholic beverages and/or medications are permitted as carry-on luggage.Airline Luggage RestrictionsIf traveling by air, guests are encouraged to contact the airlines directly to determine luggage restrictions and fees.
Cruisers love the fact they “only have to unpack once.” And while your destination, itinerary and personal style will dictate which outfits you bring, we want to share our guidelines and suggestions. A Carnival ship has it all, from fine dining to casinos and shows to sunbathing, so here are some tips on how to dress to play or party.Daytime: Casual and ComfortableWhen the sun is up, casual attire is the order of the day, which can include:Shorts, capris, khakis and jeansT-shirts, polo shirts, blouses and topsSummer dressesExercise and athletic gear, lightweight sweater, pull-over or jacketBathing suit, cover-up, hat or visorComfortable rubber-sole flat shoes, sneakers, water shoes or non-slip boat shoes with traction Please note: Select activities and shore excursions may require closed-toe shoes. Footwear with wheels is prohibited on board our ships. Evening: Cruise CasualAs we head into the evening, the dress code takes on multiple definitions, depending on your plans, the venue or the event.Most nights, the dress code in the main dining room(s) for everyone is “cruise casual:”Men and boys: sports slacks, trousers, khakis, jeans, tailored dress shorts and collared dress shirts or button downs, polo shirts or nice t-shirtsWomen and girls: casual dresses or skirts, pants, capris, jeans, blouses and button down or pullover shirt.For voyages of 6 days or longer – and select shorter sailings (5 days or less) – pack your legwarmers, shoulder pads, and brightest neon attire for our '80s Rock-N-Glow Deck Party. And don't forget to bring an all-white outfit for the unforgettable White Hot Night Party, offered on 6+ day itineraries and select short-duration voyages (5 days or less).Not permitted: ripped/cut-off t-shirts, sheer, see-through and athletic clothing, and swimwear Evening: Cruise Elegant (Sharp & Chic)On certain special nights, our main dining rooms celebrate our Cruise Elegant festivities, and we invite guests to enjoy a special night out in a sharp and chic way.Select 5 days or shorter cruises will have one Cruise Elegant evening (short duration voyages not hosting a Cruise Elegant evening will host a White Hot Night)6 days or longer cruises will have two Cruise Elegant evenings On longer cruises, the first Cruise Elegant evening is scheduled for the second or third evening of the cruise. Depending on itinerary, the next Cruise Elegant evening is the second or third evening prior to the end of the cruise. Cruise Elegant (Sharp & Chic) attire can include:Men and boys: dress jeans, trousers, slacks, dress shirts, and sport coats (optional); some men may even choose to wear a suit and tie or tuxedoWomen and girls: dressy resort wear, dresses (party or cocktail), pantsuits, elegant skirts and blouses; some women may also wear evening gownsNot permitted: ripped/cut off t-shirts, sheer or see-through clothing, athletic clothing or gear and swimwearA good rule of thumb is to dress for a special occasion. The Steakhouse and Rudi's Seagrill dress requirements follow the dress code specified for the main dining room(s). The Lido Restaurant is open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner and has a more relaxed dress code than the main dining room(s); however, please respect that the Lido Restaurant is not the pool area. Shirts, bathing suit cover-ups and footwear must always be worn. Please dry off completely as wet floors are a safety hazard and always wear shoes/sandals, since open decks may become relatively hot. Casinos, bars, retail shops, lounges and theaters are frequented by guests who dress according to daytime to nighttime standards. Basic rules still apply no matter the time of day – no swimsuits, wet clothes, or bare feet. Please Note:All guests are expected to ensure their clothing and accessories are respectful to fellow guests and reflect our family friendly atmosphere. Specifically, items worn during the cruise should not contain any message that may be considered offensive or contain nudity, profanity, sexual innuendos/suggestions. In addition, clothing and accessories should not promote negative ethnic or racial commentary, hatred, or threats of violence in any form.In some ports of call, it is against the law for anyone, including children, to wear army-style camouflage clothing or carry items made with camouflage material. Ports include (but not limited to) The Bahamas, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica and St.Lucia. Before traveling, please check local laws of each port to ensure compliance with regulations. Carnival Journeys and HolidaysCarnival Journeys cruises feature a Throwback Sea Day in which we go back in time to relive the ‘80s during the day and the true elegance of formal evening and the original Captain’s Celebration at night. Guidelines for elegant evening apply, and formal gowns and suits/tuxedos are encouraged.Carnival knows how to celebrate! Feel free to bring a special outfit for our “Ugly Sweater Contest” in December, “Frightfully Fun” Halloween cruises, or to show your team spirit when there are big sporting events. Please note that costumes with full masks are prohibited, but half masks are allowed.

Royal Caribbean handles this exact itinerary out of the Cruise Maryland Terminal using their ship, Vision of the Seas.The 5-Night Bermuda ItineraryBecause Baltimore is further north up the Chesapeake Bay, it takes a little extra sailing time to reach the Atlantic tropics. A 5-night cruise is structured perfectly to give you a mix of relaxing sea days and a solid chunk of time on the island:Days 1 & 2: Depart Baltimore and spend a full day at sea cruising down the coast and out into the Atlantic. Day 3: Arrive at the Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda around mid-afternoon. Day 4: Enjoy a full day on the island (famous for its pink sand beaches and golf courses) before departing in the afternoon.Day 5: A final day at sea to enjoy the ship's amenities, pools, and dining.Day 6: Arrive back in Baltimore early in the morning. When Do They Sail?These 5-night itineraries are highly seasonal, running regularly through the warmer months from May through October.Good to Know: While Carnival Cruise Line also sails heavily out of Baltimore (using ships like Carnival Pride and Carnival Legend), their itineraries from this port are typically longer—usually averaging 7 to 14 nights to reach the Bahamas, the Caribbean, or Canada/New England. If you are strictly locked into a 5-day window from Baltimore, Royal Caribbean's Bermuda run is your best bet. 301-237-4971
U.S. Citizens Proper travel documentation is required at embarkation and throughout the cruise. Even though a guest has completed registration using Online Check-in, it is still the responsibility of the guest to present the required travel documents at the time of embarkation. Guests should check with their travel agent and/or government authority to determine the travel documents necessary for each port of call. Any guest without proper documents will not be allowed to board the vessel and no refund of the cruise fare will be issued. Carnival assumes no responsibility for advising guests of proper travel documentation. Except where it is a mandatory requirement, Carnival highly recommends that all guests travel with a passport book. The passport book must be valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel. This will enhance the debarkation experience as delays may be expected upon return to the United States for those without one. Additionally, this will enable guests to fly from the United States to meet their ship at a foreign port should they miss their scheduled port of embarkation and allow guests who must disembark the ship before their cruise ends, due to an emergency, to fly back to the United States without significant delays and complications. U.S. Domestic CruisesFor certain cruises that begin and end in the same U.S port, the following WHTI-compliant documents are acceptable for cruise travel (please see below for travel document requirements for voyages visiting Colombia, Greenland, Martinique and Panama). * U.S. Passport Book (valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel)U.S. Passport Card (valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel)State Enhanced Driver's LicenseCertificate of U.S. NaturalizationNative American Indian CardU.S.-born citizens may also use a birth certificate (issued by a government agency or Department of Health and Vital Statistics) and accompanied by government-issued photo ID; a Mobile/Digital version of a photo ID is not an acceptable form of identification. * Travel document exceptions for U.S. domestic cruises that begin and end in the same U.S. homeport, calling on the following ports of call:Colombia - mandatory requirement for passport book or card (valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel).Greenland - mandatory requirement for passport book (valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel).Panama - passport book (valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel) required for guests who wish to go ashore in Panama. Guests using another form of WHTI-compliant document (including a passport card) to sail must remain on board when the ship visits Panama.Martinique, FWI - passport book (valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel) required for guests who wish to go ashore in Martinique. Guests using another form of WHTI-compliant document (including a passport card) to sail must remain on board when the ship visits Martinique. * Travel document exceptions for U.S. domestic cruises that begin and end in different U.S. homeports: Mandatory requirement for passport book or passport card (valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel). Australia, New Zealand, Asia and Transpacific CruisesU.S citizens are required to carry a passport book, valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel. Visas and/or specific travel documentation may be required for some destinations. Europe and Transatlantic CruisesU.S citizens are required to carry a passport book, valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel. ETA – UK Electronic Travel AuthorizationAll travelers (as of January 8, 2025) who do not hold a passport to the United Kingdom or Ireland must obtain an electronic visa, known as the UK Travel Authorization to enter the UK by air or sea.Electronic visa applications are open for non-European nationalities. Click here to apply:https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-for-an-electronic-travel-authorisation-etaPlease note:The visa can take up to three business days to obtain.The ETA will be issued electronically and will remain valid for two years or until the associated passport expires.All guests traveling, including children and infants must acquire an ETA. ETiAS - European Travel Information and Authorization SystemOfficial website: https://travel-europe.europa.eu/etias_enETIAS is an electronic system that is being implemented in Europe to screen travelers before they enter the Schengen Area. It's an authorization, not a visa, for visa-exempt individuals (including U.S. and Canadian citizens), travelling to most European countries. Please note: The projected implementation timeframe for ETIAS is the last quarter of 2026. Additional information will be provided once more details about the start date, requirements and the application process have been established. Air TravelAll persons are required to carry a valid, unexpired U.S. passport for air travel to or from the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda. The passport requirement does NOT apply to U.S. citizens traveling to or returning directly from a U.S. territory (Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands: St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix). Effective May 7, 2025, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will require every state and territory resident to present a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or another acceptable form of identification, such as a passport or enhanced driver’s license, to go through airport security and board a flight within the U.S. If you will be flying to one of our cruise homeports within the U.S. on/after this implementation date, please ensure you have an acceptable document for your air travel. Visit www.tsa.gov/real-id for more information.Note: All guests must still have WHTI-compliant travel documents (proof of citizenship and/or appropriate visas) in order to cruise. Names on Travel DocumentationIt is important that the guest's full name (first name and last name) on the cruise and airline tickets be the same as the guest's unexpired, government-issued photo ID that will be used for travel identification. In the event of a different name on the cruise/airline ticket and the guest's photo ID because of a marriage, divorce or a legal name change, documentation (original or clear, legible copy) supporting this change is required at embarkation, such as a marriage certificate, marriage license or legal name change court document. Failure to bring documentation bridging the name differences could result in denial of boarding.Soon-to-be or recently married guests – we recommend the cruise reservation be booked using the maiden name, provided the guest does not have official documents (marriage certificate, etc.) to confirm the name change. Guests sailing with birth certificate and government-issued ID – if the names differ between the two documents, guests will be required to show official documentation that confirms the legal name change (example – marriage certificate, adoption, deed poll, U.S. naturalization). Traveling with MinorsWhen traveling with a minor where one parent or both parents or legal guardians are not cruising, we strongly recommend bringing an original, signed letter from the absent parent(s) or legal guardians authorizing the minor to travel with you. If there is no second parent with legal claims to the minor (due to sole custody, deceased, etc.) other relevant paperwork, such as a court decision, death certificate, birth certificate naming only one parent, would be useful to bring in place of a signed letter. This will expedite processing by the Department of Homeland Security. Citizens of U.S. Territories and CommonwealthGuests will follow the same travel documentation requirements. U.S. Territories and Commonwealth include: Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands (St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John), America Samoa, Swains Island and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Passport – The hassle-free way to travelFor some voyages, traveling with a passport book is a requirement. Even when not required, we strongly recommend traveling with a passport. You will be traveling internationally, a passport (book) is the best document for hassle-free travel. Not only will a passport enhance your embarkation experience, it will also get you through the customs and immigration processing faster at debarkation.If you are looking for something more accessible, a passport card will also provide a speedy embarkation and debarkation experience. Passport cards are a nice alternative to passport books for sea travel to countries within Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) countries and may also be used as REAL ID (for domestic air travel purposes).In the event an emergency arises, a passport book is the only acceptable document for flying back home from overseas.Note: A passport (book or card) must be valid for at least six months after the last day of the cruise.For more information, click here U.S. Passport BookU.S. citizens may present a valid, unexpired U.S. passport book when traveling via air, land, or sea. The passport book must be valid for at least six months beyond the completion of travel. Guests may apply for passports at passport-acceptance facilities nationwide.

The U.S. Passport CardThe passport card cannot be used to travel by air outside the United States.U.S. citizens may present a limited-use, wallet-size passport card. The passport card will only be valid for land and sea travel between the United States and Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean region, and Bermuda. State Enhanced Driver's License (EDL)The State Enhanced Driver's License (EDL) cannot be used to travel by air outside the United States.Several states are working with the Department of Homeland Security to develop an EDL for U.S. citizens residing in their states. This document will denote both citizenship and identity and will facilitate the entry process at land and seaports of entry. The words ‘Enhanced Driver's License’ as well as the American flag will appear on the license. The following states issue this type of WHTI-compliant document: Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Vermont, and Washington. A driver's license with a gold circle with star cutout in the right upper corner is a Real ID driver's license; it is not an Enhanced Driver's license and cannot be used as proof of citizenship but can be used as picture identification. A Mobile/Digital version of an EDL is not an acceptable form of travel documentation. Original Certificate of U.S. Naturalization and a Government-Issued Photo IDThe Certificate of U.S. Naturalization (form N-550 or N-570) is a document issued by the U.S. government (USCIS) as proof of a foreign-born person who has obtained U.S. citizenship through naturalization (a legal process of obtaining a new nationality). Photocopies of the original document are unacceptable. A Mobile/Digital version of a photo ID is not an acceptable form of identification.

To help you plan, we suggest you limit your luggage to a maximum of one bag per person, if traveling on cruises of 3-5 days duration, and no more than two bags per person, for cruises of 6 days or longer. In addition, you must personally carry-on any boarding documentation (passports, Visas, I.D), valuables, medications and items which require special handling.Guests who are scheduled to arrive at the terminal before 1:30 PM, usually check their bags with a porter so they can be free to enjoy lunch on Lido Deck before access to their stateroom is granted.Checked baggage service is only available until 2 hours before the ship's published sailing time (printed in the cruise documents). Guests arriving after this time will be responsible for taking their bags on board. Each checked suit case and carry-on suit case should not weigh more than 50 pounds, and when lying flat, bags must not exceed 16 inches high by 24 inches wide (the length of the bag is not a factor). For security screening purposes, all luggage should be unlocked. Oversized luggage and locked luggage may cause delivery delays. Personalized luggage tags are included in the guest’s Electronic Documents (available once online check-in is completed). It is not necessary to print the tags in color.Carnival luggage tags must be affixed to your baggage prior to arriving at the terminal. Additional tags can be obtained at curbside from the porter. Porters will re-tag any luggage tag with a TBA cabin assignment.Curbside porters are customarily provided a $1 tip per bag. They are not employees of Carnival and should a guest experiences any problems, they must report it to porter management on site.Since the screening and movement of large coolers through embarkation is an impediment to the boarding and security screening process, large coolers are not permitted as carry-on or checked luggage. Small, personal-sized coolers, no larger than 12 inches x 12 inches x 12 inches, for the purpose of housing small quantities of non-alcoholic beverages and/or medications are permitted as carry-on luggage.Airline Luggage RestrictionsIf traveling by air, guests are encouraged to contact the airlines directly to determine luggage restrictions and fees.
Cruisers love the fact they “only have to unpack once.” And while your destination, itinerary and personal style will dictate which outfits you bring, we want to share our guidelines and suggestions. A Carnival ship has it all, from fine dining to casinos and shows to sunbathing, so here are some tips on how to dress to play or party.Daytime: Casual and ComfortableWhen the sun is up, casual attire is the order of the day, which can include:Shorts, capris, khakis and jeansT-shirts, polo shirts, blouses and topsSummer dressesExercise and athletic gear, lightweight sweater, pull-over or jacketBathing suit, cover-up, hat or visorComfortable rubber-sole flat shoes, sneakers, water shoes or non-slip boat shoes with traction Please note: Select activities and shore excursions may require closed-toe shoes. Footwear with wheels is prohibited on board our ships. Evening: Cruise CasualAs we head into the evening, the dress code takes on multiple definitions, depending on your plans, the venue or the event.Most nights, the dress code in the main dining room(s) for everyone is “cruise casual:”Men and boys: sports slacks, trousers, khakis, jeans, tailored dress shorts and collared dress shirts or button downs, polo shirts or nice t-shirtsWomen and girls: casual dresses or skirts, pants, capris, jeans, blouses and button down or pullover shirt.For voyages of 6 days or longer – and select shorter sailings (5 days or less) – pack your legwarmers, shoulder pads, and brightest neon attire for our '80s Rock-N-Glow Deck Party. And don't forget to bring an all-white outfit for the unforgettable White Hot Night Party, offered on 6+ day itineraries and select short-duration voyages (5 days or less).Not permitted: ripped/cut-off t-shirts, sheer, see-through and athletic clothing, and swimwear Evening: Cruise Elegant (Sharp & Chic)On certain special nights, our main dining rooms celebrate our Cruise Elegant festivities, and we invite guests to enjoy a special night out in a sharp and chic way.Select 5 days or shorter cruises will have one Cruise Elegant evening (short duration voyages not hosting a Cruise Elegant evening will host a White Hot Night)6 days or longer cruises will have two Cruise Elegant evenings On longer cruises, the first Cruise Elegant evening is scheduled for the second or third evening of the cruise. Depending on itinerary, the next Cruise Elegant evening is the second or third evening prior to the end of the cruise. Cruise Elegant (Sharp & Chic) attire can include:Men and boys: dress jeans, trousers, slacks, dress shirts, and sport coats (optional); some men may even choose to wear a suit and tie or tuxedoWomen and girls: dressy resort wear, dresses (party or cocktail), pantsuits, elegant skirts and blouses; some women may also wear evening gownsNot permitted: ripped/cut off t-shirts, sheer or see-through clothing, athletic clothing or gear and swimwearA good rule of thumb is to dress for a special occasion. The Steakhouse and Rudi's Seagrill dress requirements follow the dress code specified for the main dining room(s). The Lido Restaurant is open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner and has a more relaxed dress code than the main dining room(s); however, please respect that the Lido Restaurant is not the pool area. Shirts, bathing suit cover-ups and footwear must always be worn. Please dry off completely as wet floors are a safety hazard and always wear shoes/sandals, since open decks may become relatively hot. Casinos, bars, retail shops, lounges and theaters are frequented by guests who dress according to daytime to nighttime standards. Basic rules still apply no matter the time of day – no swimsuits, wet clothes, or bare feet. Please Note:All guests are expected to ensure their clothing and accessories are respectful to fellow guests and reflect our family friendly atmosphere. Specifically, items worn during the cruise should not contain any message that may be considered offensive or contain nudity, profanity, sexual innuendos/suggestions. In addition, clothing and accessories should not promote negative ethnic or racial commentary, hatred, or threats of violence in any form.In some ports of call, it is against the law for anyone, including children, to wear army-style camouflage clothing or carry items made with camouflage material. Ports include (but not limited to) The Bahamas, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica and St.Lucia. Before traveling, please check local laws of each port to ensure compliance with regulations. Carnival Journeys and HolidaysCarnival Journeys cruises feature a Throwback Sea Day in which we go back in time to relive the ‘80s during the day and the true elegance of formal evening and the original Captain’s Celebration at night. Guidelines for elegant evening apply, and formal gowns and suits/tuxedos are encouraged.Carnival knows how to celebrate! Feel free to bring a special outfit for our “Ugly Sweater Contest” in December, “Frightfully Fun” Halloween cruises, or to show your team spirit when there are big sporting events. Please note that costumes with full masks are prohibited, but half masks are allowed.
