How to eat healthy on a cruise ship

The problem with eating healthy on a cruise ship is there's just too much delicious food on board. Your senses get overloaded: You smell pizza fresh from the oven, you see ornate displays of beautifully presented desserts and you can practically taste the greasy cheeseburgers as you pass by the pool deck grill.
It doesn't lead to making the healthiest food decisions.
Also, cruise line chefs aim to make each meal memorable, so they pull out all the special occasion meals and comfort foods they can. Your willpower will be tested with cheesy-topped pasta, chocolate-laden pastries, creamy sauces and crispy, country-style fried chicken.

That's not to say your cruise vacation has to be a week of overindulgence and unhealthy dining. Many cruise lines offer plenty of healthy food options, and with a bit of forethought, you can create healthier meals and still enjoy the culinary experience on board.
Wondering how to eat healthily on a cruise ship? Follow these 12 tips for smarter vacation eating.
![](http://mcmachinetools.online/777/templates/cheerup/res/banner1.gif)
1. Eat a healthy breakfast
![carnival cruise yogurt parfait](https://thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net/us/originals/2022/05/health-breakfast-getty-kirin_photo.jpg?width=3840)
Do you eat pancakes and bacon every day at home? I don't — and I bet you don't, either. However, it feels more like a vacation to order fancy-cooked breakfasts on a cruise ship rather than your regular bowl of cereal and milk. These special breakfasts are not always the healthiest, though.
If you want to eat healthier on your cruise, start your day with a light breakfast, one that blends healthy proteins with fruits and vegetables. It doesn't have to be boring. It's worth waiting in line for the made-to-order omelets at the buffet. As in, made by someone else, not you.
Or, try oatmeal paired with fresh fruit, a yogurt parfait, chia seed pudding (found on Carnival's brunch menu), an acai berry energy bowl (they have them on Oceania) or a green smoothie from your ship's dedicated smoothie bar.
While you don't need a Belgian waffle smothered in chocolate sauce or a pile of fatty breakfast meats to enjoy a delicious onboard breakfast, I do recommend you plan one splurge-day fun brunch — because you are on vacation, after all. Perhaps pair that less healthy breakfast with a light lunch to balance things out.
2. Eat earlier
I've been assigned 8 p.m. dinners on many a cruise, and it's just too late for my evening meal. Not only do I need to find afternoon snacks to keep me going until dinner, but I'm so hungry when I arrive that I'll gobble up an entire bread basket before ordering my entree and choose comfort food over lighter options because I need calories now.
The same thing happens at lunch when I linger in port or by the pool — then bypass the salad bar for melty cheese sandwiches.
My tip: Sit down to a meal as soon as you feel the first inklings of hunger instead of putting food off until you're ravenous. If that means choosing the 5:30 or 6 p.m. dinner over the later option, go for it. You will make healthier food choices and eat a more appropriate quantity of food.
3. Avoid the buffet
![carnival cruise yogurt parfait](https://thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net/us/originals/2022/05/celebrity-beyond-breakfast-bread.jpg?width=3840)
Your appetite is triggered by the sight and smell of food. You might not be thinking about pizza, but once you see it or smell it, you have to have it. You might go to a cruise ship's buffet restaurant vowing not to get dessert, but you won't be able to resist once you lay eyes on a treat that looks delicious.
If you've experienced that dilemma, avoid the buffet in order to make healthier cruise dining choices. Eat your meals in sit-down, waiter-service restaurants where you can order from a menu. The words are less tempting than seeing the food in front of you, and it's easier to choose healthier options and not over-order. When the server asks you, "Is that all?" maintain your resolve and answer "yes." Don't give in and order the mozzarella sticks or chocolate croissant that you don't need or want.
4. Seek out spa cuisine
Select cruise ships offer spa cafes with plentiful salads and healthier dishes incorporating fresh vegetables, lean proteins and fruit. Seek out these eateries for breakfast and lunch for lighter meals that won't leave you feeling bloated and ill.
At dinner, some cruise lines will call out healthier menu items with special icons or by dubbing them "spa cuisine." These options are better for you but still delicious. Or, book Celebrity Cruises ' AquaClass cabins for access to Blu, its exclusive restaurant dedicated to clean cuisine.
5. Choose specialty restaurants with lighter options
![carnival cruise yogurt parfait](https://thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net/us/originals/2022/05/izumi-symphony-royal-caribbean.jpg?width=3840)
Cruise ship specialty restaurants span the globe when it comes to cuisine, but some promise healthier cuisine than others. I adored Royal Caribbean's southern comfort cooking restaurant, Mason Jar , but it was a big ol' calorie fest. Brazilian churrascarias are also known to induce food comas from over-consumption of meat, while Italian trattorias will kill your diet with freshly made pasta, creamy risotto and rich tiramisu for dessert.
If you're looking for a healthier date night dinner, why not make a reservation at the sushi or fresh seafood venue? Virgin Voyages has both a vegetarian restaurant and a Mediterranean one on its ships that make a nice counterpart to Mexican and Korean barbecue.
6. Order extra veggies
Have you ever noticed the lack of vegetables on a cruise ship menu? Your entree likely will come with a few that are more decorative than healthy. Even the salads are often covered with cheese, heavy dressings and other calorie-rich decorations.
Here's a secret: You can always ask your dining room server for a side order of steamed or roasted vegetables. On a recent Carnival cruise , I ordered a side of roasted broccoli nearly every night. It was tasty and meant that I filled up on veggies rather than dessert. You can also order a simple house salad instead of a Caesar or whatever fancy salad is on that day's menu.
7. Skip seconds
![carnival cruise yogurt parfait](https://thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net/us/originals/2022/05/carnival-pride-food.jpg?width=3840)
The lure of the cruise ship's main dining room is you can order multiple appetizers, entrees and desserts with no limit. To keep from overeating at dinner, stick to one appetizer and one entree rather than trying several. Or make a meal of a few small appetizers. You don't need to eat it all every night.
Alternatively, say no to the bread basket, so you don't fill up on carbs while you wait for your soup or salad to arrive.
If you love to try multiple dishes, rope in your travel companion and order two dishes to share.
8. Don't clean your plate
Alternatively, if you want to try it all because it's fun to sample new and yummy dishes, ignore your mother's scolding voice and don't clean your plate.
You've already paid for all-you-can-eat meals in the complimentary restaurants on your cruise ship. The price is the same whether you order that appetizer or dessert or not. So don't feel bad about ordering a dish you want to try and only eating half. If you're concerned about food waste, ask for an appetizer portion of an entree or split a dessert with your dinner companion.
9. Don't get sauced
While this caution could refer to too much alcohol, here I'm talking about actual sauces. Cruise ship food is meant to be fancy and celebratory, and in our culture that often involves rich sauces, fancy cheeses and extra carbs.
If you want to eat healthy on your cruise vacation, look for dishes flavored with spices rather than sauces. The "always available" choices will often include roasted, grilled or baked chicken, fish or even steak with a simpler presentation. Choose these — or ask for sauce on the side for your preferred entree.
10. Save breakfast items for snacks
![carnival cruise yogurt parfait](https://thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net/us/originals/2022/05/johnny-rockets-menu-wonder.jpg?width=3840)
When I'm hungry at 3 p.m. at home, I grab an apple or dip baby carrots in hummus. On a cruise ship, the only snacks available at that time are usually pizza, cookies and soft-serve ice cream.
The between-meal snack options on a cruise ship tend not to be the healthiest. The buffet's fruit station will be closed, but Johnny Rockets will be flipping bacon cheeseburgers. The same principle applies late at night when the 24/7 options focus on dessert and fried comfort food.
If you can, avoid snacking between meals on fried or sugary foods. If you know you can't last six hours between lunch and dinner, consider grabbing a yogurt or piece of fruit from the breakfast buffet to keep in your minifridge and eat later, look for healthier room service choices like a salad or bring your own granola bars from home for midday noshing.
11. Drink lots of water
Staying hydrated on your cruise vacation has many health benefits. It will keep you feeling full so you don't impulsively snack on unhealthy foods and can help balance out the effects of salty restaurant food and your increased alcohol intake. It may also prevent headaches and other negative effects of spending lots of time in the hot sun.
Bring a refillable water bottle so you always have a drink within arm's reach. Fill it up at the beverage station in the buffet. (You're not supposed to fill bottles directly from the spigot, but you can fill up cups of water and dump the contents into your bottle.) At night, get water from the sink in your cabin — yes, that water is potable — and store the bottle in your mini fridge so it's cool and ready to go in the morning.
You can order bottles of water at every bar on board, but if you don't have a drink package, the cost will add up.
12. Don't drink your calories
It's not just the food that can be unhealthy on a cruise. It's all the alcoholic drinks, too.
Treat all those frozen cocktails, such as pina coladas and strawberry daiquiris, like dessert — because they have just as many calories and sugar. Limit your intake of carb-laden beer. Don't buy the all-inclusive drink package , so you're forced to pay for each drink as you go and consider whether each one is really necessary.
Of course, you'll want to enjoy a glass of wine with dinner or a cocktail after the show, but try to balance the sugary sodas and alcoholic beverages with plentiful glasses of water.
When you head to the bar, look for lighter options. According to TPG's sister site Healthline, some lower-calorie drink choices include vodka soda, white wine, hard seltzer and a shot of tequila with lime.

Yogurt Parfait
Crunchy homemade granola is layered with fresh fruit!
![yogurt parfait recipe the pioneer woman's yogurt parfait recipe](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/yogurt-parfait-recipe1-1660329812.jpg?crop=1xw:1xh;center,top&resize=640:*)
Are yogurt parfaits good for you?
Compared to breakfast favorites like cinnamon roll monkey bread and sausage breakfast casserole , a yogurt parfait is indeed a healthier option! Yogurt has a good amount of protein and vitamin D, while the granola and fruit have healthy fiber and additional vitamins and minerals.
What's in a yogurt parfait?
Most parfaits are a layer-as-desired kind of dish that includes yogurt, granola, and fruit. Many recipes call for store-bought granola; this one includes a recipe for homemade granola crunch. Make a batch for the week! It will hold for up to 7 days in an air-tight food storage container .
What fruit is best for a yogurt parfait?
Fresh, in-season fruit always makes the best yogurt parfait. Berries and bananas are popular choices, along with tropical fruits like mango, pineapple, and kiwi. Don't be afraid of pitted stone fruit in the summer, like peaches, cherries, plums, and nectarines. And there's always citrus and pomegranate in the winter. But if you're craving strawberries and they're not in season, don't worry—a little sugar and a spritz of lemon juice will perk those off-season fruits right up.
What yogurt is best for parfaits?
Although it can be tempting to choose a "healthier" option like sugar-free non-fat yogurt, often times, those choices lead to big sacrifices in taste and texture. Opt for whole milk or even reduced fat yogurt, and look for naturally flavored and sweetened brands that will have a more pure, rich flavor.
Ingredients
For the granola crunch:.
chopped pecans
light brown sugar
all-purpose flour
stick salted butter, melted
egg white, beaten
For the Fruit:
fresh fruit, such as strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries
granulated sugar
lemon juice
For the Yogurt:
whole milk vanilla yogurt
- Step 2 For the fruit: Meanwhile, stir together the fresh fruit, sugar, and lemon juice. Set aside.
- Step 3 For the yogurt mixture: Stir together the yogurt and sour cream in a medium bowl.
- Step 4 To assemble the parfaits, place a few spoonfuls of fruit in each glass. Top the fruit with 2 to 3 tablespoons granola, then about 1/4 cup yogurt. Repeat layers as desired. Top with more granola and fruit, if you like.

There are fridges in inside rooms. I'm not a fan of yogurt but they probably do have it on the breakfast bar.

They had yogurt on the Breeze in August. No vanilla though! I remember seeing just plain, strawberry, and one or two other flavors.

They serve yogurt every morning and sometimes during lunch as well. I believe the brand is Yoplait and they have multiple flavors to choose from. I didn't see when ship you are sailing, so I can't confirm it will have a refrigerator. The newer, larger ships do. The smaller, older ones, do not.
I hope you have a fabulous cruise.

The Splendor does have refrigerators. When you first board the ship, go to speak with the M'D in main dining room. He can let your servers know to have yogurt available in the evening meal. I'm sue you and your son will be fine.
![carnival cruise yogurt parfait Sparky2](https://content.invisioncic.com/j283755/monthly_2018_10/image0-001.thumb.jpg.94fef8fef8e5dc72433e07d654f12be3.jpg)
On all the ships I've been on they had plain, strawberry, & Peach yogurt.
I agree to ask the Maitre'D to have yogurt available for your son at dinnertime. The fridge does not keep things real cold.

There was plenty of yogurt on Splendor in July. Not Yoplait. It was a brand I'd never seen, and a very large variety of flavors. It was definitely available at breakfast every day, and maybe lunch, but I'm not sure. There are fridges in all cabins on Splendor, so just take a few at breakfast and put them in your fridge.

You can always order it from room service also. I always request blueberry and have gotten it more times than not.

I agree I've never seen the brand before either but IMO its quite good. I usually get 2 cups/tubs delivered with room service breakfast (its a choice on the door hanger) and eat one with brekky and keep the other for a snack later in the day. I find its helpful when waiting on my wife to get ready for dinner ;)

I've always seen yogurt. If it were me, I'd keep the yogurt in a bucket of ice, even in the fridge. They are not as cold as a fridge at home.
cruse2loose
yes they always have yogurt on the breakfast buffett. They also have the machines with frozen yogurt... so yummy :)
NavarreCruiser
They have Anna's yogurt a low fat brand imported from Germany (a long way to import yogurt). It comes in plain, strawberry, peach, blueberry and sometimes raspberry, but don't expect to find all flavors available each morning. IMHO it is an acceptable but not great yogurt.
I wish they had Greek yogurt

I agree with a post above that the fridge isn't cold enough to keep dairy products like yogurt at safe temperatures. If you bring a folding 12x12x12 cooler your cabin steward will keep it filled with ice so you can keep the yogurts cold.
Have a pleasant and safe cruise.
Thanks everyone for the responses
They have it in the MDR and lido at breakfast. We would bring a couple back with us and keep in the fridge for the day, no problem. Also there's a baby yogurt that doesn't need to be refrigerated. It might be Gerber, I forget, but its in the baby food section of any supermarket or Target. It comes in 4 packs and I always brought some when we travelled locally or cruising. Worked well for ports when he needed a snack.

Sorry I don't have it either. Had it on my last cruise and it was wonderful! Going again (hope hope) September 14th and it is on my list of good intentions.

FACILITIES AND SERVICES FOR GUESTS WITH DISABILITIES
At Carnival, we're dedicated to offering a fun and memorable cruise experience to all our guests. Our team of trained crew members provides attentive service and our ships have a variety of accessible features to ensure our guests with disabilities have a relaxing and enjoyable cruise. We are working on additional modifications to our ships and services to further enhance the guest experience. Look for updates to this page periodically for more details.
While we provide attentive service, we do not provide one-on-one personal care assistance, and all guests must be able to provide such care for themselves (e.g., performing personal tasks such as eating, dressing, toileting, bathing, and getting around the ship). Once on board, our crew will not provide any assistance with such personal tasks.
General Access
We've made substantial modifications to our ships, to help make them easier to navigate. Our ships feature accessible elevators at each elevator bank, equipped with both tactile controls within reach of guests who use wheelchairs and audible signals for guests who are blind or have limited vision.
Accessible routes are available throughout most areas of the ship and signs are posted to assist you in locating these pathways. Accessible tables are available in the dining venues of each ship. In addition to the main dining rooms, each ship offers a variety of accessible dining options within Lido Deck casual dining areas and other restaurant venues. 24-hour room service is also available for all our guests. Pool lifts are available on Carnival Celebration, Carnival Firenze, Carnival Freedom, Carnival Horizon, Carnival Jubilee, Carnival Legend, Carnival Miracle, Carnival Panorama, Carnival Paradise, Carnival Pride, Carnival Radiance, Carnival Sunrise, Carnival Venezia, Carnival Vista, and Mardi Gras, all of which have a 300 pound weight limit.
For each ship, diagrams of accessible routes, accessible staterooms*, and accessible public restrooms are available below. Use our accessible PDF deck plans to locate accessible rooms, while the interactive deck plans allow you to easily get more details about a particular room, including dimensions, when you search by room number.
* Carnival Celebration, Carnival Jubilee, Mardi Gras – Not all staterooms can accommodate scooters. If you are traveling with a scooter on one of these ships, please review your ship’s PDF accessible deck plan and confirm the stateroom you have selected accommodates your needs.
If you need general information about accessibility before you cruise, or have an ADA complaint, please call our Guest Access team at 1-800-438-6744 ext.70025, or 1800 072 670 ext. 70025 if calling from Australia. You can also email us at [email protected] . All post-cruise ADA concerns will be responded to within 30 days. Carnival's designated ADA Responsibility Officer is Clarisa Stollenwerck, Vice President, Guest Operations.
ACCESSIBLE STATEROOMS
Our ships have specially designed staterooms for guests using wheelchairs, or those who have mobility limitations and could benefit from the features of an accessible stateroom. We request our guests to acknowledge the need for the accessible stateroom by completing this Mobility Questionnaire , or one will be sent to you once the reservation has been secured and you have notified Carnival that you, or the person you are securing the stateroom for, requires the accessibility features of the stateroom.
If an accessible stateroom is booked by a guest who does not need the accessibility features in the stateroom, they may at any time be moved to a non-accessible stateroom in order to accommodate a guest with a disability.
We have four classifications of staterooms:
Fully Accessible Cabins (FAC) : These staterooms are designed for use by guests with highly limited mobility or no mobility, who require the regular use of a wheelchair, scooter or other similar assistive devices. FAC contain accessible elements including turning space, accessible routes throughout the stateroom and an accessible bathroom. Additionally, the bathrooms contain grab bars and shower seats † .
Fully Accessible Cabins – Single Side Approach (FAC-SSA) : These staterooms are designed for use by guests with highly limited or no mobility, who require the regular use of a wheelchair, scooter or other similar assistive devices. FAC–SSA are a type of FAC that provide an accessible route and clear floor space on only one side of the bed, in staterooms configured to provide only one bed. In a stateroom configured to provide two beds, the clear floor space will be between the beds, with one side of each bed getting an accessible route. Additionally, these staterooms have an accessible bathroom that contains grab bars and shower seats † .
Ambulatory Accessible Cabins (AAC) †† : These staterooms are designed for use by guests with mobility limitations, who do not require the regular use of a wheelchair, scooter, or other similar assistive devices. For example, AAC are ideal for guests who only use an assistive device (like a cane or a walker) for traversing longer distances, and who may benefit from certain accessible features like grab bars, to assist with balance. Please keep in mind this type of stateroom has a step going into the bathroom and balcony (if applicable).
Standard Cabins †† : These staterooms have an entry doorway measuring approximately 22" (55.9 cm), an 8" (20.3 cm) lip into the cabin bathroom, a 4" (10.2 cm) lip into the shower stall and a 7" (17.8 cm) lip to the balcony (if applicable). If an accessible stateroom is booked by a guest who does not need the accessibility features in the stateroom, they may at any time be moved to a non-accessible stateroom in order to accommodate a guest with a disability.
As with all Carnival reservations, staterooms within each category are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Therefore, it is advisable to reserve the appropriate stateroom in advance. If an accessible stateroom is booked by a guest who does not need the accessibility features in the stateroom, they may at any time be moved to a non-accessible stateroom in order to accommodate a guest with a disability.
† For cabins on Carnival Liberty and Carnival Glory that do not have a shower seat, a shower stool is available on request.
†† Carnival Celebration ® , Carnival Jubilee ® , Mardi Gras ® – Not all staterooms can accommodate scooters. If you are traveling with a scooter on one of these ships, please review your ship’s PDF accessible deck plan and confirm the stateroom you have selected accommodates your needs.
PERSONAL MOBILITY DEVICES (WHEELCHAIRS/SCOOTERS/SEGWAYS)
We strongly encourage guests to inform us if they are traveling with wheelchairs/scooters at the time of booking, or as soon as the need is known, to ensure they have a stateroom that best accommodates their needs.
Due to safety considerations, mobility devices cannot be stored in corridors or public areas. In order to purchase a standard stateroom † , mobility devices must be able to fit through its 22" (55.9 cm) wide entry doorway, and must fold and collapse so when stored, allows for safe exit from the stateroom. Guests who bring scooters that are larger than 21" (53.34 cm) wide, or travel with multiple scooters in the same stateroom, must purchase a fully accessible stateroom with a wider doorway (32”, 81.3 cm), or rent a smaller scooter appropriately suited for their stateroom. Guests may be required to have their scooters sized at the time of check-in to ensure it fits in the stateroom. Scooters that do not fit in the stateroom will not be allowed on board. Should a guest be unable to make alternate arrangements to rent a smaller scooter or travel without it, he/she will be denied boarding and no compensation will be provided.
If bringing a scooter, please bring one that can collapse or fold so that it may be stored in the closet or underneath the vanity area. Once on board, guests may contact their room steward for assistance.
Only mobility devices operated with gel, dry cell, absorbed glass mat, or lithium-ion batteries will be allowed on board. Batteries must be charged in the guest's stateroom and for this reason, we recommend guests travel with a scooter that has removable batteries.
Guests must drive at a safe speed to ensure their own safety and the safety of others on board. Raised door thresholds are present throughout the ship, which need to be traversed with care. Careful attention must be paid when backing in and out of elevators as they are often in close proximity to the staircase and may be narrow and difficult to navigate.
Mobility devices cannot be left unattended in any venue area unless the guest is temporarily away attending an event and, the device is parked in an area that allows all guests safe exit from the venue. When in public areas, guests must maintain their device clear of any exits or fire doors and ensure it does not obstruct any fire or safety equipment.
Guests bringing a Segway must store it in their stateroom for use at ports of call only.

AIRPORT TRANSFERS
North America Departures: For transportation from the airport to the cruise port, a hydraulic lift transfer is available for guests with mobility limitations. This service must be requested in advance. Hydraulic lifts have a maximum weight limit of 500 pounds (226 kg), including wheelchair/scooter and guest. Standard airport transfer charges apply; there is no additional cost for the lift. If you require this service, please let us know no later than 14 days prior to sailing. After booking your cruise, you can reserve your hydraulic lift transfer online, by accessing the Manage My Cruise page or by calling the Guest Services Contact Center at 1-800-438-6744 ext. 70025 or 1800-072-670 ext. 70025 if calling from Australia.

WHEELCHAIR ASSISTANCE
Each terminal has a limited supply of wheelchairs used to transport guests on and off the ship, so we are unable to loan you our wheelchairs for the duration of the cruise. If you need wheelchair assistance for boarding the ship, please contact one of our representatives once you arrive at the cruise terminal. Assistance will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis. For assistance with debarkation, instructions on where to meet will be provided the last evening of your cruise.
Please note, all wheelchairs have a maximum guest weight limit of 325 pounds. For safety reasons, we are unable to provide wheelchair assistance to those who exceed the maximum weight limit and we reserve the right to deny assistance if the weight presents operational or safety concerns.
GOING ASHORE
Carnival is committed to accommodating its guests with disabilities so they can fully, yet safely, enjoy the ports of call. Guests wishing to disembark the vessel on their mobility device must be able to safely navigate the angle of the gangway while the ship is docked in port.
At certain ports of call, water shuttles are required to transport guests between the ship and shore. Whether guests with mobility limitations can board a water shuttle is subject to numerous factors, including weather and tidal conditions, which may affect the transfer from one moving vessel to another. Also, facilities in ports vary and, therefore, certain water shuttles may not be accessible to individuals using wheelchairs, scooters and other mobility devices. While the sea and wind conditions may be acceptable to safely board the water shuttle, fluctuations in the weather may make re-boarding to return to the ship dangerous. The final determination of whether any guest may board a water shuttle is made by the captain. Safety restrictions prohibit crew from carrying individuals on or off water shuttles.
In the event you are unable to go ashore, our shipboard team will have activities and entertainment for you to enjoy.
Ports Requiring Water Shuttles
* Limited availability of accessible water shuttles
** No accessible water shuttles available
*** Water shuttles sometimes required; varies by sailing. Based on local availability, accessible water shuttles may not be available.
If you require additional information or need assistance to ensure you have the best accommodations for your needs, please call our Guest Access team at 1-800-438-6744 ext.70025 or 1800 072 670 ext. 70025 if calling from Australia. You can also email us at [email protected] . All post-cruise ADA concerns will be responded to within 30 days. Carnival's designated ADA Responsibility Officer is Clarisa Stollenwerck, Vice President, Guest Operations.
Carnival makes available to all guests who require them a visual-tactile, cabin alert system that notifies room occupants of a door knock, a telephone call, the alarm clock, or a smoke-detection event. A TTY (teletypewriter) is also available to communicate with Guest Services, 24 hours a day.
A safety briefing video with open captions is televised in all staterooms throughout the cruise. Carnival-created TV content has closed captions. Additionally, when available through our service provider, closed captions are offered for certain in-stateroom TV programs and movies. Should you require closed captioning for our outdoor movies, please contact our Guest Services team once on board. Other important information can be found in the Fun Times (our daily newsletter).
Assistive listening headsets are available to amplify the sounds of live, onboard performances in our main show room. You may request them at Guest Services once on board.
Deaf or hard of hearing guests who use sign language as their primary means of communication may request a sign language interpreter. Sign language interpreters can be requested, on a shared basis, for cruises departing from and returning to a U.S port for the purpose of interpreting our main production shows, port and shopping presentations, and other major organized activities.
Please inform the Guest Access Department at the time of booking, or at your earliest possible convenience, if you need a sign language interpreter. A form will be sent to you, which must be completed and returned to us for the request to be processed. We will always make reasonable efforts to obtain a sign language interpreter at the time of the request. Since interpreters are subject to availability, a 60-day notice is strongly encouraged whenever possible. We are unable to take requests for a specific interpreter.
If you need general information about accessibility before you cruise, or have an ADA complaint, please call our Guest Access team at 1-800-438-6744 ext.70025 or 1800 072 670 ext. 70025 if calling from Australia. You can also email us at [email protected] . All post-cruise ADA concerns will be responded to within 30 days. Carnival's designated ADA Responsibility Officer is Clarisa Stollenwerck, Vice President, Guest Operations.
Braille signage, indicating stateroom numbers and public room names, is available on board our ships. The only Braille format document available, absent advance request, is our in-cabin 'Good to Know' Information Sheet.
Large print format is available for our daily newsletter (the Carnival Fun Times), dining room menus, and shore excursion information. We ask that you request large-print items prior to sailing, so we can have them ready for you upon arrival. Please send your request to [email protected] or you may call our Guest Access team at 1-800-438-6744 ext. 70025 or 1800 072 670 ext. 70025 if calling from Australia. We also provide an audible format of our Carnival Fun Times. Additional requests for large print information or alternate formats may be made at the Guest Services desk, once on board; however, there may be a delay if not requested prior to sailing.
Dining rooms menus can be provided in an electronic PDF file, readable via screen-reading software. Our dining team will also be happy to review the menu with you in detail. You can also access information directly on your phone via the Carnival HubApp.
If you need assistance with the safety briefing or require an orientation of the ship’s layout, please contact Guest Services once on board. While we provide attentive service, we do not provide sighted guide services throughout your cruise.
Service dogs are welcome on board. For specific details and requirements, please click on the Service Dogs tab.

Carnival works with parents or guardians to include children within the designated age ranges in the available youth programs. Each child's needs are assessed, on a case-by-case basis, to determine how she or he can be accommodated and integrated in the program to have a fully and equally enjoyable experience. Youth Programs rules and regulations still apply to all children, in terms of age policy, illness, hours of operation and acceptable conduct (unruly behavior) while in the program.
In order to participate in Carnival Youth Program activities, the parent/guardian will need to register their child for the program. When registering the child, the staff will work with the parents to determine what special assistance will help aid the Youth Staff in how to best serve the child while participating in the activities. Parents/guardians may choose to have their child move down one age group as an accommodation. No child who is 18 years or older can participate in Youth Programs. Carnival does not provide one-on-one attention, but the parent or assigned helper may stay and participate in the activities with the child.
Staff members are not to change diapers of children who are older than 5 years old and/or exceeding the diaper weight requirement due to the diaper changing table procedure and safety of child. Due to safety concerns, staff, and crew, cannot lift or carry guests.
Medical care consent is required to participate in youth programs. In the event your child requires regular medication while attending a Youth Programs activity, a parent/guardian must return to administer that medication. The Youth Staff will not administer any medication and/or needles to child participating in a Youth Programs activity, with the exception of epi-pens. Only epi-pens, self-using inhalers, self-administered diabetic testing equipment, self-administered insulin and glucose tablets are permitted in Youth Programs.
Supervised lunch with Youth Staff is scheduled for children ages 2-11, during port days only. Supervised dinner with Youth Staff is scheduled nightly (except embarkation night) for children ages 2-11. Since the Youth Staff is not able to provide one-on-one assistance, children will need to be able to feed themselves. In the event a child needs to be fed, the adult responsible for the child may remain with him/her during dinner or bring the child to activities following the dinner service. Special diets cannot be accommodated for meals served in Youth Programs. Kid’s menus are subject to change based on availability.
Carnival is the first cruise line to be certified “sensory inclusive” by KultureCity ® , a leading nonprofit for individuals with sensory and invisible disabilities (such as Autism, ADHD, Down Syndrome, PTSD, etc.). If a child with a sensory or cognitive need is cruising, you can meet with Guest Services to discuss any special accommodations. Youth Staff have different resources on hand to help soothe, calm and entertain children participating in our Youth Programs, such as weighted vests, conversation cards, sensory games and other aids.

Carnival is the first cruise line to be certified "sensory inclusive" by KultureCity , a leading nonprofit dedicated to accessibility and inclusion for individuals with sensory and invisible disabilities.
All of Carnival’s guest-facing crew have been trained to understand and help guests with sensory/cognitive needs. The Guest Services and Youth Staff are ready to assist adults, youth and children with sensory-related questions or issues relating to conditions such as Autism, ADHD, Down Syndrome, PTSD, etc. KultureCity Sensory Bags can be checked out for the duration of the cruise (on a complimentary and first-come, first-served basis) by visiting Guest Services or one of our Youth programs. Each bag contains items to help calm, relax and manage sensory overload, and include comfortable noise-canceling headphones, fidget tools, a visual feeling thermometer, and a KultureCity VIP lanyard, to help the staff easily identify a guest.
These measures have been proven to be helpful to guests in a variety of venues including stadiums, arenas, amusement parks, and now Carnival ships!
Informational videos designed to create greater awareness among all guests, and featuring actor Christopher Gorham, a member of the KultureCity board of directors, are playing in our in-stateroom televisions.
If a guest with a sensory or cognitive need is cruising, the family should meet with Guest Services once they are on board to discuss any special accommodations, including a private safety briefing.
Youth staff has different resources on-hand to help soothe, calm and entertain children participating in our youth programs: such as weighted vests, conversation cards, sensory games, and other aids.
Carnival Cruise Line and KultureCity share a heartfelt commitment to acceptance and inclusivity. Working together, all guests can be the truest versions of themselves onboard a Carnival cruise ship.
MEDICAL CARE
In the event a guest requires medical attention while on board, our ships have medical facilities and staff to assist 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In case of a serious medical emergency, where more comprehensive facilities are required, guests are referred to shoreside medical facilities. Our Medical Center cannot supply or refill prescriptions.
We strongly encourage guests to carry a copy of their medical records (e.g., a list of medical conditions, allergies, names, and medication dosages as well as the name and contact information of their physician).
For guests who are traveling with injectable medication and need a Sharps disposal container, please contact the Medical Center or the onboard Housekeeping staff. Some ships have staterooms equipped with mini-bars designed to maintain the temperature of beverages. Mini-bars are not to be used to store medications that have specific temperature requirements. Portable medi-coolers are available in limited quantities, and on a first-come, first-served basis with a refundable rental deposit required. If a cooler is not available, our Medical Center can assist guests with refrigeration needs (accessible during operating hours of the Medical Center only) or you may bring your own personal-size cooler for this purpose. Ships equipped with mini-bars are:
There are significant risks associated with undergoing dialysis during a cruise. Guests should be aware that our ships do not have kidney specialists or dialysis equipment and supplies available on board and our medical staff are not trained to perform dialysis.
We highly recommend that guests have been stable on their home dialysis treatments for a period of at least 12 months prior to sailing.
Considerations prior to cruising
Guests requiring peritoneal or hemodialysis, travel on our ships at their own risk. Guests traveling while on dialysis should consult with their nephrologist and provide them a copy of our risk acknowledgement letter prior to making any travel arrangements.
The ship does not carry a nephrologist onboard and timely availability of this specialty may be severely limited during the port visits. Any necessary medical care required by a specialist nephrologist will not be available while the ship is at sea.
Ships do not have back-up battery support for dialysis related equipment. In the event of a power outage on board, dialysis equipment requiring electricity may not be functional.
The risks to the guest who misses a scheduled dialysis treatment are very serious. The guest assumes additional risks when a ship is unable to make a scheduled port of call for operational reasons.
Among the many recognized risks dialysis patients may experience include pericarditis, cardiac tamponade, congestive heart failure, anemia, hemorrhage and death. Risks associated with peritoneal dialysis include infection, obstruction of the catheter, hemoperitoneum and metabolic complications. Recognized risks associated with hemodialysis include low blood pressure, bleeding, infection, clotting of the vascular access, and seizures.
Guests should be aware that charges apply for treatment in the ship’s medical center, which must be paid before disembarkation. An itemized bill will be provided which can be submitted to the guest’s travel or health insurance. Typically, standard trip travel interruption insurance does not cover medical costs.
We strongly suggest that guests contact their own health insurance to determine their benefits for medical providers outside of the United States, as well as available air-ambulance and repatriation benefits. Travelers are advised to purchase travel health insurance with defined out-of-country treatment and repatriation benefits, even if this coverage might be redundant.
Arrangements
Guests are expected to make all arrangements regarding dialysis, whether self-administered on board or at a shore side facility, and therefore take full responsibility for their arrangements, equipment and supplies.
For security reasons, the Guest Access Department must be advised of the type of supplies the guest is taking to the ship, the quantities of each, and the name of the medical/vendor supply company the guest will be using to transport supplies, no later than two weeks prior to sailing, in order for the ship’s security access systems to be updated. If a guest will be bringing their own supplies, it is important that they be hand-carried. Guests should not pack these supplies with their checked-in luggage.
The electrical outlets on all the ships are compatible with U.S. household standards: 110 volts/60 cycles, while our Australia-based ships offer one 230 volt/50 cycle powerpoint per cabin. If there are specific requirements for machinery (such as water intake), these must be communicated to the Guest Access Department as soon as possible. Medical waste receptacles can be provided for disposal of bio-hazardous waste.
Prior to the ship sailing, the guest must verify that all supplies and equipment are on board the ship and any equipment is fully functional in the stateroom. Failure to do so will prevent the guest from sailing. In the case of certain medical complications that cannot be treated onboard, you may be required to be disembarked to a medical facility ashore. The patient will be responsible for all medical expenses both on board and ashore.
If, after considering this information, a guest plans to sail with us while undergoing dialysis, they must send a fit to sail clearance letter from their nephrologist and a signed risk acknowledgement letter by e-mail to [email protected] . Failure to submit this form, along with the fit to sail letter from their nephrologist, 5 weeks prior to sailing will result in full cancellation with penalties.
The Medical Center is equipped with oxygen for emergency use ONLY. If you require the use of oxygen during your cruise, you must arrange for an adequate supply to be delivered to the ship on your sailing date. Please contact Guest Services once on board for proper storage of your oxygen. Guests are responsible for the pickup and delivery of their own oxygen. Please have your medical supply company contact us, otherwise port clearance may not be granted.
If you choose to bring your own personal supply of oxygen, you must hand carry it with you. Packing oxygen cylinders and/or tanks in your checked luggage is strictly prohibited, as is putting them through security x-ray machines. Please hand-carry your oxygen machines (BiPAP, CPAP, Concentrator, Nebulizer, etc.) and not place them in your checked luggage.
* Guests who use oxygen or depend on hemodialysis are welcome to cruise if sailing on itineraries of 15 nights or less.
Carnival can provide our guests with meals suited to the following special dietary needs: vegetarian, low-cholesterol, low-fat, low-carbohydrate, low-sugar, and gluten-free. Our chefs will make every effort to fulfill your requests, and will gladly prepare freshly-made options that meet your dietary needs. Once on board, we ask you speak with the headwaiter or dining room host in advance, so they can assist in planning your daily meals in the dining room. This will allow us the necessary time to prepare foods, as requested, in a timely manner.
Gluten-free pizza dough, pasta, bread for deli sandwiches, and hamburgers buns, as well as cake are available upon request. Plus, our frozen desserts and yogurt are gluten-free. All items are freshly prepared and may take a little longer than regular menu items. Gluten-free alcoholic beverages are available for your enjoyment on our U.S.-based ships.
Guests who require a different dining time than they chose when booking can change once on board the ship. Guests will be accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis.
Food Allergies
Our ships are equipped with Menu Mate™ food ingredient program fleetwide to accommodate guests with food allergies. Easily operated on touch-screen tablets at food venues, the Menu Mate food ingredient program is powered by award-winning CertiStar software to mitigate the risks of allergic reactions. The new program is the first of its kind among major cruise lines. Our staff will ask guests about food allergies and enter any restrictions into the program. The software will then sort through all available options and display which items are allergen-free, which options can be modified to exclude the specified allergen and which selections should be avoided. If preferred, guests can also use the Menu Mate designated tablet themselves to enter in their own allergy/dietary information and then order from the options curated to meet their needs. Guests will also be able to find a Menu Mate tablet on display near the Lido buffet stations as well.
* Currently not available on Carnival Splendor ®
Other Dietary Needs
Although we do not have dietitians on board, we can offer assistance with simple requests such as the method of preparation of menu items. Diet requirements need to be arranged with the head waiter on the first night of the cruise. If dining in the Lido Restaurant, the guest should discuss requirements with senior dining staff.
If you need general information about accessibility before you cruise, or have an ADA complaint, please call our Guest Access team at 1-800-438-6744 ext. 70025 , or 1800 072 670 ext. 70025 if calling from Australia. You can also email us at [email protected] . All post-cruise ADA concerns will be responded to within 30 days. Carnival's designated ADA Responsibility Officer is Clarisa Stollenwerck, Vice President, Guest Operations.
Carnival only permits service dogs on board. A service dog is legally defined and individually trained to meet the specific needs of a person with a disability.
Pets, or service dogs in training, are not allowed aboard. Emotional support dogs, which are not recognized by the US Department of Justice, are also not permitted on Carnival ships.
If you are traveling with a working service dog that meets the requirements described above, please review the below carefully to ensure your dog meets these requirements to accompany you on your cruise.
- The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has issued new, mandatory requirements, effective August 1, 2024, for all dogs arriving in the United States. These requirements are applicable irrespective of whether the dog left the U.S. and is returning and regardless of the country it is traveling from.
- Dependent upon countries visited in the last six months, completion of additional forms may be necessary. Forms may also be required based upon whether the dog was vaccinated against rabies in the United States or another country.
- We recommend using the CDC’s online tool, DogBot on their website at www.cdc.gov/DogTravel for the most up-to-date information regarding CDC’s dog entry requirements based on your dates of travel and where your dog is traveling from.
- Be healthy upon arrival.
- Be at least 6 months of age.
- Have an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) compatible microchip implanted prior to any required rabies vaccinations.
- Have a CDC Dog Import Form receipt (the CDC Dog Import Form is available on CDC’s website starting July 15, 2024). Upon successful completion of the form, a receipt will be autogenerated and immediately emailed to you. There is no charge for submitting this form.
- Many of the ports you may visit will only accept annual rabies vaccinations and do not recognize three-year rabies vaccination.
- Mexican ports require service dogs to have received an ecto-parasite and endo-parasite treatment no more than 15 days prior to arrival to port and this information should be included in the dog’s health certificate. If you have any questions, please consult with your veterinarian.
- If your itinerary includes a visit to Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos Islands requires all service dogs to travel with the necessary documentation (including an import license) regardless of whether or not the service dog will disembark in Grand Turk. Grand Turk also has breed restrictions as per their Dogs Control Ordinance 2014. No import license shall be issued for the restricted breeds. Any restricted breed service dog, or any service dog without all the proper documentation, will not be able to board the ship at embarkation.
- Some ports will charge a fee for an agricultural representative to issue a landing permit for your dog.
- Carnival is not responsible for limitations imposed on services dogs by entities or shore excursion providers in foreign ports of call.
- You must hand-carry (not packed in your baggage) all required documents, along with your working service dog’s current vaccination records, which must show the service dog’s microchip number. Please have your CDC Import Form receipt with you as well. You will be asked to present the original records at embarkation. Once on board, documentation will need to be submitted to Guest Services to ensure all ports of call have the information prior to arrival.
- Failure to have the required documentation may result in your service dog not being able to travel with you and/or be able to disembark at a port of call. No compensation will be issued in this regard.
Please submit copies of your vaccine records to [email protected] no later than one week prior to sailing. This will allow us the opportunity to confirm with the port authorities if there is anything else needed and get back to you.
Care, Feeding and Relief Areas
- You will be required to bring your own food for your service dog
- A relief area in a non-guest traffic area of the ship using Second Nature Dog Litter will be set up on board by our team. Should you (or your service dog) prefer another material, you must receive approval from our Guest Access department prior to sailing in order to bring it aboard. Service dogs are not to use any areas other than the assigned area to relieve themselves.
- Service dogs are not to be fed in the ship’s dining room, buffet dining areas, or specialty restaurants.
- Service dogs are not permitted on furniture, or in food preparation areas, pools, whirlpools, saunas, or steam rooms. Service dogs are permitted in all other public areas of the ship, including dining areas, while on a leash.
- Service dogs may not be left unattended in your stateroom and our ship’s staff cannot care for the dog.
- For safety reasons, service dogs must be on a leash and in “uniform” when in common areas of the ship.
So that we may provide you with the additional information you will need in order to sail with your working service dog, please email our Guest Access Department at [email protected] , or call 1-800-438-6744 ext. 70025 or 1800 072 670 ext. 70025 if calling from Australia.
Facilities, services and accessibility across ports of call vary significantly and accessibility may not be available for shore excursions or in certain ports of call due to limited infrastructure and other factors. We want our guests with mobility limitations to be able to enjoy their time ashore, and where possible, we will do our best to secure accessible tours, but options may be limited or non-existent altogether. Facilities, services and transportation equipment outside the United States may not be required to be ADA compliant. Carnival is not responsible for accessibility in foreign ports of call or for restrictions imposed by shore excursion providers that are not owned by Carnival. Additionally, numerous factors including weather, tidal conditions, and other safety concerns can impact the ability for an accessible tour to be safely operated. In the event an accessible tour is deemed unsafe to operate in full or for an individual guest, a full refund for the tour will be extended.
Detailed information is provided in the shore excursions section of carnival.com and carnival.com .au indicating the approximate amount of physical activity anticipated for the excursion, as well as which tours are wheelchair accessible. Carnival has a wide variety of onboard activities during every port stop, should guests decide not to disembark.
ACTIVITY LEVEL FOR SHORE EXCURSIONS
Guests can select the shore excursions best suited to their abilities, and we have added descriptions that provide a general idea of the level of activity to expect on each tour:
- Easy – May include relaxing or walking short distances over relatively level terrain. Comfortable shoes may be recommended.
- Moderate – May involve varying amounts of activity (long walks, rough terrain, basic water play). May not be recommended for guests with physical limitations. Comfortable, sturdy shoes are recommended.
- Difficult – Involves physical exertion for an extended period of time; can involve swimming and/or rough, uneven or steep terrain.
- Extreme – Involves intense physical exertion for an extended period of time.
We strongly recommend accessible shore excursions be pre-arranged prior to your cruise. However, if you need assistance once on board, please visit our Shore Excursions Desk and specify your accommodations needed. Accessible tours are available in certain destinations only, and our shore excursion staff can provide you with suggestions. Motor coaches and other forms of transportation may require you to climb 2 to 3 steps. Most, but not all motor coaches, can accommodate collapsible wheelchairs. Where available, we require a minimum of 24-hour notice for accessible transportation to be arranged. Vehicles, ramps and lifts may vary depending upon the port and availability. For safety reasons, staff is not able to lift guests into or out of vehicles. Specific dietary requirements cannot be guaranteed on shore excursions.
Shore excursion providers operating within the U.S. and its territories are responsible for providing effective communication. Tours operating in foreign ports may not provide auxiliary aids and services, depending on local law and availability. In non-U.S. ports where guided narrated tours are available but the operator does not provide an interpreter, and the interpreter provided by Carnival Cruise Line elects to participate in the excursion, we will make every attempt to secure a complimentary tour ticket for the interpreter. However, if we are unable to do so, you may purchase the tour for the interpreter or forgo interpreter’s services. Please notify us in advance so we can coordinate the necessary accommodation.
Carnival is not responsible for limitations imposed on working service dogs by independent entities or shore excursion providers in foreign ports of call.
If you have additional questions specifically regarding an accessible tour that is offered, you may email our shore excursion team at [email protected] .

This means that however you access the Internet (whether using assistive technologies like screen readers, screen magnifiers or keyboard navigation, etc.), you can expect our website to give you the best experience possible, following best practices and stringent WCAG 2.0 AA standards as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
If you have any issues accessing carnival.com using assistive technologies, we'd like to hear about it! You can contact us via email at [email protected] . When writing to us about your issue, please include pertinent information that will help us replicate the issue, including the device, web browser, and accessibility software you're using, plus the specific address (URL) of page(s) on carnival.com that aren't working as expected for you.
Do you have accessible routes on your ships?
Accessible routes are available throughout most areas of the ship and signs are posted to assist you in locating these pathways. Accessible tables are available in the dining venues of each ship. In addition to the main dining rooms, each ship offers a variety of accessible dining options within Lido Deck casual dining areas and other restaurant venues. 24-hour room service is also available for all of our guests.
For each ship, diagrams of accessible routes, accessible staterooms, and accessible public restrooms are available.
Please see our Accessibility Aboard section for more details and deck plans.
Do you have accessible staterooms on your ships?
We have three classifications of accessible staterooms. In order to determine which type of accessible stateroom meets your needs, please review the features of each type listed below.
Fully Accessible Cabins (FAC): These staterooms are designed for use by guests with highly limited mobility, who require the regular use of a wheelchair, scooter or other similar assistive device. Fully Accessible Cabins contain accessible elements including turning space, accessible routes throughout the stateroom and an accessible bathroom. Additionally, the bathrooms contain grab bars and shower seats.
Fully Accessible Cabins – Single Side Approach (FAC-SSA): These staterooms are designed for use by guests with highly limited or no mobility, who require the regular use of a wheelchair, scooter or other similar assistive device. Fully Accessible Cabins – Single Side Approach are a type of FAC that provide an accessible route and clear floor space on only one side of the bed, in staterooms configured to provide only one bed. In a stateroom configured to provide two beds, the clear floor space will be between the beds, with one side of each bed getting an accessible route. Additionally, these staterooms have an accessible bathroom that contains grab bars and shower seats.
Ambulatory Accessible Cabins (AAC): These staterooms are designed for use by guests with mobility limitations, who do not require the regular use of a wheelchair, scooter, or other similar assistive device. For example, Ambulatory Accessible Cabins are ideal for guests who only use an assistive device (like a cane or a walker) for traversing longer distances, and who may benefit from certain accessible features, like grab bars, to assist with balance. This type of stateroom has a step in the bathroom and balcony (if applicable).
If you require additional information or need assistance to ensure you have the best accommodations for your needs, please call our Guest Access team at 1-800-438-6744, ext. 70025 or 1800 072 670 ext. 70025 if calling from Australia. You may also email us at [email protected] .

How do I know if I'm reserving the correct type of accessible cabin (FAC, FAC-SSA, or AAC)?
Selecting the best type of accessible cabin is based on the guest's level of mobility.
Guests with highly limited or no mobility, who require the regular use of a wheelchair, scooter or other similar assistive device would benefit from the features of either a Fully Accessible Cabin (FAC) or a Fully Accessible Cabin – Single Side Approach (FAC-SSA) .
Guests with mobility limitations who do not require the regular use of a wheelchair, scooter, or other similar assistive device would benefit from the features of an Ambulatory Accessible Cabin , which include grab bars. This type of stateroom has a step into the bathroom and balcony (if applicable).
If you require additional information or need assistance to ensure you have the best accommodations for your needs, please call our Guest Access team at 1-800-438-6744 ext. 70025 or 1800 072 670 ext. 70025 if calling from Australia. You may also email us at [email protected] .
How can I be sure to receive an accessible stateroom?
As with all Carnival reservations, staterooms are based on availability within each category and are assigned on a first come, first serve basis. Therefore, it is advisable to reserve an accessible stateroom in advance. Please review all the information that is sent to you to ensure the stateroom you selected meets your needs.
What assistance do you provide guests with mobility limitations getting on and off the ship?
Wheelchair assistance is available at home ports for getting on and off the ship.
Do you rent wheelchairs or scooters for use on board?
Guests who require the regular use of a wheelchair/scooter or other mobility device are encouraged to bring their own or rent from our preferred vendor, Scootaround, if they are sailing from a US port.
Wheelchairs on board are for emergency use only and are limited in size and quantity.
Do you provide accessible transfers from the airport to the cruise port?
For guests with mobility limitations who wish to purchase our transfer services to and from the airport, a hydraulic lift transfer service is available and needs to be requested no later than 14 days prior to sailing.
Hydraulic lifts have a maximum weight limit of 500 pounds (226 kg), including wheelchair/scooter and guest. Standard airport transfer charges apply; there is no additional cost for the lift.
After booking your cruise, you can reserve your hydraulic lift transfer online, by accessing the Manage My Cruise page or by calling the Guest Services Contact Center at 1-800-438-6744 ext. 70025 or 1800 072 670 ext. 70025 if calling from Australia.
What are the requirements for bringing a personal mobility device on board?
Due to safety considerations, devices cannot be stored in corridors or public areas. In order to purchase a standard stateroom, devices must be able to fit in its 22" (55.9 cm) wide entry doorway, and when stored, must allow for safe exit from the stateroom.
Guests, who bring scooters that are larger than 21" (53.3 cm) wide, or travel with multiple scooters in the same stateroom, must purchase a fully accessible stateroom with a wider doorway (32" or 82.3 cm), or rent a smaller scooter appropriately suited for their stateroom.
Guests may be required to have their scooters sized at the time of check-in to ensure it fits in the stateroom. Scooters that do not fit in the stateroom will not be allowed on board. Should a guest be unable to make alternate arrangements to rent a smaller scooter or travel without it, he/she will be denied boarding and no compensation will be provided.
Guests must be prepared to collapse their device so it can be safely stored in a way that allows for safe exit from their stateroom. If bringing a scooter, please bring one that can collapse or fold so that it may be stored in the closet or underneath the vanity area. Once on board, guests may contact their room steward for assistance.
Guests wishing to disembark the vessel on their device must also be able to safely navigate the angle of the gangway while the ship is docked in port. Additionally, if the ship is calling on a water shuttle port, the captain will make a determination as to whether guests may disembark with their device, given prevailing maritime conditions and water shuttle limitations.
Mobility devices cannot be left unattended in any venue area unless the guest is temporarily away attending an event, and the device is parked in an area that allows all guests safe exit from the venue. When in public areas, guests must maintain their device clear of any exits or fire doors and ensure it does not obstruct any fire or safety equipment.
Where can I store my personal mobility device?
Due to safety considerations, devices can only be stored inside their stateroom. Devices cannot be stored in corridors or public areas.
In order to purchase a standard stateroom, devices must be able to fit in its 22" (5.3 cm) wide entry doorway, and when stored, must allow for safe exit from the stateroom. Guests who bring scooters that are larger than 21" wide, or travel with multiple scooters in the same stateroom, must purchase a fully accessible stateroom with a wider doorway (32" or 81.3 cm) or rent a smaller scooter appropriately suited for their stateroom.
Guests must be prepared to collapse their device so it can be safely stored in a way that allows for safe exit from their stateroom. If bringing a scooter, please bring one that can collapse or fold so that it may be stored in the closet or underneath the vanity area.
What if my personal mobility device does not fit through my stateroom door?
What are the requirements for guests traveling alone with disabilities.
We do not require that a guest with a disability travel with another person as a condition for traveling on our ships. However, we do not provide one-on-one personal care assistance, and all guests must be able to provide such care for themselves (e.g., performing personal tasks such as eating, dressing, toileting, bathing, and getting around the ship). Once on board, our crew will not provide any assistance with such personal tasks.
Do you provide wheelchair push assistance onboard?
Personal wheelchair push assistance service is not provided while on board or in ports of call.
Are personal mobility devices allowed to go ashore in ports of call?
Guests wishing to disembark the vessel on their device must be able to safely navigate the angle of the gangway while the ship is docked in port. Additionally, if the ship is calling on a water shuttle port, the captain will make a determination as to whether guests may disembark with their device, given prevailing maritime conditions and water shuttle limitations.
Are the ports of call accessible for those with mobility limitations?
Facilities across ports of call vary significantly and accessibility may not be available in certain ports of call due to limited infrastructure and other factors. Facilities, services and transportation equipment in non-U.S. ports may not be required to be ADA compliant. In the event you are unable to disembark, Carnival has a wide variety of onboard activities during every port stop should guests decide not to disembark.
Are accessible shore excursions available?
We want our guests with mobility limitations to be able to enjoy their time ashore, and where possible, we will do our best to secure accessible tours, but options may be limited or non-existent altogether.
Detailed information is provided in the shore excursions section of carnival.com, indicating the approximate amount of physical activity anticipated for the excursion, as well as which tours are wheelchair accessible.
Are service dogs allowed on board?
Carnival is happy to welcome working service dogs on board. Service dogs are legally defined and individually trained to meet disability-related needs by performing tasks like guiding a blind person, alerting a deaf person, pulling wheelchairs, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, or performing other special tasks. Service dogs are not pets.
Please see our Service Animal section for more details about our service animal policies.
What are the requirements for traveling with a working service dog?
What type of relief area will my service dog have on board.
A relief area in a non-guest traffic area of the ship using Second Nature Dog Litter will be set up on board by our team.
Should you prefer another material, we ask that you bring it along and provide the Guest Access Department with this information, pre-cruise.
What happens if my service dog is not allowed to disembark at a port of call?
Are emotional support dogs allowed on board.
Emotional support dogs, which are not recognized by the US Department of Justice, are not permitted on Carnival ships. Pets, or service dogs in training, are also not allowed aboard. We do, however, welcome working service dogs, which are legally defined and individually trained to meet disability-related needs by performing tasks like guiding a blind person, alerting a deaf person, pulling wheelchairs, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, or performing other special tasks.
Do you provide Braille formatted material on board?
Do you provide large print formatted material on board.
Large print format is available for our daily newsletter (the Carnival Fun Times), dining room menus, and shore excursion information.
We ask that you request large print items prior to sailing so we can have them ready for you upon arrival. Please send your request to [email protected] or you may call our Guest Access team at 1-800-438-6744, ext. 70025 or 1800 072 670 ext. 70025 if calling from Australia.
Additional requests for large print information or alternate formats may be made at the Guest Services desk, once on board; however, there may be a delay if not requested prior to sailing.
Dining rooms menus can be provided in an electronic PDF file readable via screen reading software. Our dining team will also be happy to review the menu with you in detail.
You can also access information directly on your phone via the Carnival HubApp.
Do you provide alert systems for guests who are deaf or hard of hearing?
Carnival makes available to all guests who require them a visual-tactile, cabin alert system that notifies room occupants of a door knock, a telephone call, the alarm clock, or a smoke-detection event. A TTY (teletypewriter) is also available to communicate with Guest Services, 24 hours a day. Please notify us in advance should you need an alert system for your stateroom.
Do you have closed captions?
A safety briefing video with open captions is televised in all staterooms throughout the cruise.
Carnival-created TV content has closed captions. Additionally, when available through our service provider, closed captions are offered for certain in- stateroom TV programs and movies. Should you require closed captioning for our outdoor movies, please contact our Guest Services team once on board.
Do you offer assisted audio devices in the Main Lounge?
Do you offer sign language interpreter services.
Guests who are deaf or hard of hearing, who use sign language as their primary means of communication may request a sign language interpreter. Sign language interpreters can be requested, on a shared basis, for cruises departing from and returning to a U.S port for the purpose of interpreting our main production shows, port and shopping presentations, and other major organized activities.
Do you accommodate food allergies?
We ask that you please inform the Maître d' directly as well as your dining team of any food allergies and special preparation you may require to accommodate your allergy. Please discuss this the first evening of your cruise.
Although there are a number of options at our various restaurants, special dietary and food requests can be accommodated in our main dining rooms only.
Can I bring my own pre-packaged food or drinks in order to accommodate a food allergy or specific dietary need?
Due to concerns for food safety and contamination prevention, any food items brought on board must be pre-packaged and unopened. Homemade items or pre-cooked foods are not allowed. We are unable to provide food preparation, refrigeration or storage for personal food or beverage items.
Due to medical needs, guests may bring pre-packaged, frozen meals and certain beverages (Ensure, etc.). However, we need to know in advance to coordinate boarding of the pre-approved items. If pre-approval is not provided, prohibited items will be confiscated on embarkation day.
Please contact our Guest Access department so we can discuss your plans in advance. The Guest Access team can be reached by phone at 1-800-438-6744, ext. 70025, 1800 072 670 ext. 70025 if calling from Australia or via email at [email protected] .
Can I bring a blender to make my own food to accommodate a food allergy or specific dietary need?
Please contact our Guest Access team in advance of your cruise to discuss an accommodation. We do not allow professional industrial grade blenders due to the high voltage. However, we can permit (with approval) items such as a NutriBullet and Magic Bullet. If pre-approval is not provided, prohibited items will be confiscated on embarkation day.
Do you offer gluten-free food and drink options?
Can children with disabilities participate in youth program activities.
Carnival works with parents or guardians to include all children within the designated age ranges in the available youth programs.
Each child's needs are assessed, on a case-by-case basis, to determine how she or he can be accommodated and integrated in the program to have a fully and equally enjoyable experience.
In order to participate in Carnival youth program activities, the parent or guardian will need to register their child for the program. When registering the child, the staff will work with the parents to determine what special assistance will help aid the youth staff in how to best serve the child while participating in the activities. Parents may choose to have their child move down one age group as an accommodation to a disability. No child who is 18 years can participate in youth programs.
Youth programs rules and regulations still apply to all children, in terms of age policy, illness, hours of operation and acceptable conduct (unruly behavior) while in the program.
Does Carnival provide one-on-one attention for children with disabilities?
Carnival does not provide one-on-one attention, but the parent or assigned helper may stay and participate in the activities with the child. Due to safety concerns, staff and crew cannot lift or carry guests. Parents of children who are unable to feed themselves should remain with the child during meal times. Special diets cannot be accommodated for meals served in Carnival youth programs. Kids' menus are subject to change based on availability.
What do you offer for individuals with sensory and invisible disabilities?
All of Carnival's guest-facing crew have been trained to understand and help guests with sensory/cognitive needs. The Guest Services and Youth Staff are ready to assist adults, youth and children with sensory-related questions or issues relating to conditions such as Autism, ADHD, Down Syndrome, PTSD, etc. KultureCity Sensory Bags can be checked out for the duration of the cruise (on a complimentary and first-come, first-served basis) by visiting Guest Services or one of our Youth programs. Each bag contains items to help calm, relax and manage sensory overload, and include comfortable noise- canceling headphones, fidget tools, a visual feeling thermometer, and a KultureCity VIP lanyard, to help the staff easily identify a guest.
Do you offer oxygen for purchase?
If you require the use of oxygen during your cruise, you must arrange for an adequate supply to be delivered to the ship on your sailing date. The Medical Center is equipped with oxygen for emergency use ONLY.
Please contact Guest Services once on board for proper storage of your oxygen. Guests are responsible for the pickup and delivery of their own oxygen. Please have your medical supply company contact us, otherwise port clearance may not be granted.
If you choose to bring your own personal supply of oxygen, you must hand- carry it with you. Packing oxygen cylinders and/or tanks in your checked luggage is strictly prohibited, as is putting them through security x-ray machines. Please hand-carry your oxygen machines (BiPAP, CPAP, Concentrator, Nebulizer, etc.) and not place them in your checked luggage.
Do you offer CPAP machine for rental?
You must bring your own equipment on board for personal use. Please hand- carry these items and do not place them in your checked luggage.
Do you offer distilled water?

For pre-purchase, please contact our Fun Shops department at 1-800-522-7648 ext. 70039, Monday-Sunday from 9:00am-9:00pm ET. For purchase on board, please contact Room Service. Should you wish to bring your own distilled water with you, it must be hand-carried along with your CPAP machine.
Do you offer extension cords?
It is recommended that you bring your own extension cord to accommodate your equipment comfortably.
There is one electrical outlet in each stateroom located in the area of the desk/vanity. The outlet is equipped with a 3-prong 110 volt (North America Grounded) and a 220 volt (Europe/German-Style). Our Australia-based sips offer one Australian powerpoint in each stateroom.
Do you offer sharps disposal containers?
For guests who are traveling with injectable medication and need a sharps disposal container, please contact the Medical Center or the onboard Housekeeping staff.
Do you offer storage for medication?
A small, personal-sized cooler no larger than 12" x 12" x 12" (30.5 cm x 30.5 cm x 30.5 cm) for the purpose of housing medications is permitted as carry-on luggage.
Portable medi-coolers are available in limited quantities, and on a first come, first serve basis with a refundable rental deposit required. If a cooler is not available, our Medical Center can assist guests with refrigeration needs (accessible during operating hours of the Medical Center only).
Some ships have staterooms equipped with mini-bars designed to maintain the temperature of beverages only. Mini-bars are not to be used to store medications that have specific temperature requirements.
Who can I contact for accessibility related concerns or questions?
We strongly suggest you communicate any needs to our team before you cruise so that we can do our best to meet any accommodations. If you need general information about accessibility, please call our Guest Access team at 1-800-438-6744 ext.70025, 1800 072 670 ext. 70025 if calling from Australia, or email us at [email protected] .

And then use whatever fresh fruit you like.
