What is important to remember on Carnival Destiny cruise?
Question by Alse2010: What is important to remember on Carnival Destiny cruise?
In March I am going on a cruise with the Juniors and Seniors of my high school band via Carnival cruise lines. We will be on the ship Carnival Destiny!!! This is my very first cruise. I am 17 years old and I do not know what to expect.
So… What is to expect on Carnival Destiny?
What is there to do for teenagers?
What should I take with me?

Don’t ge too close to the railing…seems like a bunch of people are “falling” off lately!
I went on the Carnival Imagination, and it was a great experience.
During the day for teens they have cheesy activities, I mainly hung out by the pool and hot tub. At night they have discos and dance parties, and go to shows as a part of the teen club.
Bring a bikini and some tanning lotion, you’ll need it (:
HAVE FUN!
i dont remember the name of the ship i was on but it is really fun and if it is anything like the ship i was on there is fun things to do all the time. They have like a host and he will have contests sometimes and will have the people on the ship do random activities and most every night there is a show to go and watch, like on mine there were things like a comedian, games like bingo and stuff, there was a play and everyone in it was just a random person on the ship. it is very fun and you will have a good time.
First off, remember that the drinks they try to give you when you get on the boat are NOT free!
Ok, you can’t drink, so on to sound advice….
A lot of its going to be about sunbathing and playing in the pool. If you’re not into that, there’s always plenty of food on the Lido deck and room service round the clock. Night time is fun b/c the clubs open up. You and your friends should be able to pack the under 21 club. You can learn more about your boat on the Carnival website. Outside of that, just don’t do anything stupid in a foreign country when you dock and be back before the boat leaves port.
As for what you should take? Well, heavy sunscreen and aloe. The sun is more penetrating down there then you would think. Good idea, is to visit the Homeland Security website for travel tips and requirements for certain items and liquids. I know…that’s boring, but you’ll thank me when the fuzz is confiscating your friends stuff and not yours b/c you followed the rules. No joke
Do’s- Keep informed of the Daily events schedule!
Find one as soon as you get onboard. Try to establish how your table arrangements are being made and always opt for the dinning room as opposed to the banquet deck lunch, better service, more quality time with your friends and it is where you’ll get the best advice from you waiter as to what to do ashore.
Do’s- Think outside the group if you find someone that is like minded and find a place away from the group. (You will find this more challenging than you may think, just try to be alone, I personally challenge you. Remeber your not being “paranoid” if someone is actually following you!
A ship is a small villiage and eyes are everywhere, stockers will have little or no difficulty finding you unless you are aware and can quickly dissapear, this is why you “must” be aware of the scheduling so you can quickly avoid the crushing sound of the “maddening crowd”. Once you have found a “like minded” travel companion you can use the schedule to attend the events you wish to (get a good watch set to onboard time and sync) familaries yourself with the various places on the ship well in advance. You will find these “deckplans” on line under Carnival Crusies. This is the way you and your friend will be able to steal away from the events separately and redevous at a pre determined spot before you make your finial escape.
Don’t- Don’t Drink too much, not at all would be better! It is completely overated and some things are much more fun if your sober.
Do’s-Watch out for the drunks especially your drunk sisters, they will thank you later!
Don’t- Have anything to do with Cruise staff entertainers, Crew members or member of the culinarykitchen staff. It’s your vacation and you simply provide them with entertainment while their earning money, it is after all “YOUR VACTION EXPERIENCE NOT THEIRS”
Do’s-Place your passport (if one is necessary) with the ships chief pursure. Maintain a copy of your passport on your person whenever you leave the ship.
Did I mention Don’t-Don’t Drink too much?
Do’s-Watch people make fools of themselves while drinking too much!
Watch love affairs and boy friendgirl friends destroy their relationships because they’ve drank too much!
Observe how the Alpha Male and Female that generally coexist beautifully destroy each other while drinking too much.
I highly recommend crashing a “Bill W” event generally on the ship board weekly schedule, you’ ll probably find your band leader or chaparons at the meeting.
Be aware that the laws protecting you on land are left to the interpretation of investigators and the ships captain. This should concern young women in the case of any allegation with regard to rape.
The Sea is beautiful, the ship is beautiful, the service is beautiful, my Nikon is beautiful.
Make nice memories that you can remember.
Oh! You can expect the Senior boys to hit on you and your best looking friends in the Junior Class the ones they have been having nothing to do with until now. No it’s not the sea Air!
safetymax out!
