SHIP OVERVIEW:

Carnival Liberty
If youre looking to vacation on one of the most amazing ships at sea, feel free its Carnival Liberty! And

latest EA SPORTS titles not to mention great drinks. Its the same ship with tacos and burritos on Lido deck,
made fresh while you wait, plus two great bars one rum-slinging, one tequila-wielding dueling for your
heart.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Whats included in my cruise fare?
Your roundtrip transportation; cruise accommodations; 24/7 dining in your choice of venues; coffee, tea, juice
with breakfast, lunch & dinner at the buffet; coffee, tea with lunch or dinner in the Main Dining Room; onboard
ship entertainment which may consist of professional comedy club or Broadway-style shows.
What can I do while the ship is in port?
Terry McKinney, your travel professional, can arrange group shore excursions at preferred pricing in advance
of your departure. Or you can purchase shore excursions once you board the Carnival Liberty. Or you can
simply walk off the ship while its in port and go shopping, have lunch, or lounge by the sea. Oryou can just
stay onboard the ship and enjoy the amenities this beautiful ship has to offer.
What is confirmed dining and what are the dining times?
At time of booking, Carnival guests will be able to confirm their preferred dining choice. If their preference is
not available, they may confirm an alternate choice and be waitlisted for their preferred choice. Waitlists will be
cleared prior to the sailing and guests will be notified by email. Parties traveling together who are waitlisted will
be cleared for the same dining time.
Lunch and dinner are also available bistro-style on the Lido Deck all included in your cruise fare!
By popular request, all dining rooms are now smoke-free.
Breakfast & Lunch
Breakfast:
7:45 AM - 9:00 AM
Lunch:
Noon 1:30 PM
For breakfast and lunch, the main dining rooms are organized as "open seating," where you may come and go as
you please during the set hours and are not obligated to sit at your assigned table.
Breakfast times vary by ship; the times above are provided as a general guideline. Please check your daily
newsletter for exact times. You can also enjoy a continental breakfast in your stateroom until 10:00 AM or a
limited breakfast menu on deck.
Dinner
Early Seating: 6:00 PM
Late Seating: 8:15 PM
*Your Time:
5:45 to 9:30 PM
*Prefer a little flexibility? No reservations required. Your Time dining allows you to dine in the main dining
room, at your leisure, anytime between 5:45 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Guests are seated first-come, first-serve,
depending on party size. In most cases, guests are accommodated within 20 minutes. However, pagers are
provided if all tables are occupied so guests can relax elsewhere on the ship until their table is ready. Due to the
limited number of large table availability, parties with greater than 10 guests may need to be accommodated at
different tables. For groups, I always suggest pre-reserving either Early Dining or Late Dining so that everyone
can sit near each other. (Dining times are subject to change.)

What is the required travel documentation for all ports?

TRAVEL DOCUMENTATION - ALL GUESTS & PORTS
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. 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.

CRUISE TRAVEL
U.S. Citizens
Carnival and Cruise Planners highly recommend all guests travel with a valid U.S. Passport Book. Although a
passport is not required for U.S. citizens taking cruises that begin and end in the same or a different U.S. port,
travelling with a passport may help to expedite your CBP clearance upon return to the U.S. Additionally,
passports are required in the event you need to fly from the U.S. to a foreign port should you miss your scheduled
port of embarkation, or need to fly back to the U.S. for emergency reasons.
The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) allows U.S. citizens (including children) sailing on cruises
that begin and end in the same U.S. port to travel with one of the WHTI compliant documents, listed
below. Additionally, the same document requirements apply when taking a cruise that begins and ends in a
different U.S. port.
Valid U.S. Passport
Passport Card
Original or suitable quality copy of a Birth Certificate (Issued by a government agency: state/county/city) and
a government issued photo ID if 16 years of age and older. In the event your current last name is different from
whats listed on your birth certificate, youll be required to show marriage licenses/divorce decrees, etc. that
show the progression of name changes. Again, either original or certified copies only.
Original Certificate of Naturalization
Enhanced Tribal Card
A Consular Report of Birth Abroad
Enhanced Drivers License (EDL) only acceptable at land and sea ports of entry. It cannot be used for air
travel outside the U.S. The word Enhanced must appear on the drivers license. The following five states
currently issue an EDL: Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Vermont and Washington.
Copies of U.S. passports and naturalization papers, hospital and baptismal certificates are not WHTI compliant
documents, therefore, are NOT acceptable.
Birth certificates from Puerto Rico issued prior to July 1, 2010 are not valid forms of proof of citizenship that is
accepted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Guests from Puerto Rico either need to present a WHTIcompliant document or a government-issued photo identification with a validated birth certificate issued after
July 1, 2010.
Photo Identification
In addition to proof of citizenship, a non-expired government-issued photo I.D is required of all guests 16
years of age and older. The following are acceptable:
Valid Drivers License
Valid Drivers Permit
Valid School/Student I.D (acceptable ONLY for guests under 19 years of age)
Valid Government-Issued identification card (city/state/federal)
6

Sailings from Hawaii and Transpacific Cruises

U.S. citizens must have a valid passport.
U.S. Alien Residents and Non-U.S. Citizens
U.S. Alien Residents require a valid Alien Resident Card and, in some cases, a passport (depending on
itinerary) to travel on all Carnival cruises. Guest must check with their consulate, travel agent or appropriate
government authority to determine if their nationality requires they also bring a passport along with their Alien
Resident Card.
Non-U.S. citizens require a valid machine readable passport and a valid, unexpired U.S. Multiple Re-entry Visa,
if applicable, to travel on all Carnival cruises. Guests are advised to check with their consulate, travel agent or
appropriate government authority to determine the necessary documents.
Non-U.S. citizens that are eligible to apply for admission under the Visa Waiver Pilot Program, must still have a
valid unexpired passport. U.S. State Department regulations require all guests traveling from visa-waiver
countries be in possession of a machine-readable passport that includes a biometric identifier - e.g., embedded
digital photograph. Otherwise, guests will be required to obtain a U.S. Multiple Re-entry Visa. Guests without
proper identification may be refused boarding or entry into the United States.
On occasion, non-U.S. citizens and U.S. Alien Residents may be asked to surrender their passport and/or Alien
Resident Card at time of embarkation. These documents will be returned upon completion of the Immigration
inspection at the time of debarkation.

What to wear?
Casual attire is the order of the day. We suggest shorts, sundresses, tank tops, etc. for the ladies, and for men;
shorts, polo shirts, T-shirts, etc. will do. We suggest you wear rubber-soled, low heeled or flat shoes for extra
traction while onboard. The use of any footwear with wheels, including but not limited, to Heelys shoes, is
prohibited on board our ships. For dining you may want to dress up a bit and/or bring along a light sports jacket
or cardigan.
Most evenings we have a Cruise Casual dress code, but there are those Cruise Elegant evenings one or two nights
throughout your Fun Ship voyage, where you will have the opportunity to showcase your more elegant attire.
For those who want casual attire for dinner time, the Lido Restaurant is open nightly, and has a more relaxed
theme. However, shirts and shoes/footwear (flip-flops) must be worn at all times inside the Lido Restaurant.
Both dress codes for the dining rooms are described below.
Cruise Casual Dining Dress Code: Gentlemen - Sport slacks, khakis, jeans (no cut-offs), dress shorts (long),
collared sport shirts; Ladies - Casual dresses, casual skirts or pants and blouses, summer dresses, Capri pants.
Not permitted in the dining room during the Cruise Casual dinner for ladies and gentlemen: cut-off jeans,
men's sleeveless shirts, gym or basketball shorts, baseball hats, flip-flops and bathing suit attire.
Cruise Elegant Dining Dress Code: Gentlemen - Dress slacks, dress shirts. We also suggest a sport coat. If
you wish to wear suits and ties or tuxedos, by all means we invite you to do so. Ladies - Cocktail dresses,
pantsuits, elegant skirts and blouses; if youd like to show off your evening gowns, that's great too!

Not permitted in the dining room during the Cruise Elegant dinner for ladies and gentlemen: jeans, men's
sleeveless shirts, shorts, t-shirts, sportswear, baseball hats, flip-flops and bathing suit attire
What is the tipping policy onboard?
For your convenience, Carnival automatically charges the gratuities for dining and stateroom staff to your onboard
Sail & Sign account. The total amount is $12.00 per guest, per day and breakdown as follows:
Stateroom service team

$3.90 per day

Dining room service team

$6.10 per day

Alternative services team*

$2.00 per day

(*galley, entertainment, guest services and other hotel staff members)

As a convenience gratuities will be automatically posted to your Sail & Sign account on the second day of your
cruise. Our Staff is totally committed to exceed your expectations in every way possible. If you are not satisfied
with the service you receive, we encourage you to contact the Guest Services desk while onboard. This will allow
us to address your concerns in a timely and appropriate fashion. Once gratuities have been posted, you may adjust
them at your discretion at any time while onboard. Gratuities will be deemed undisputed unless a request to
modify is received prior to disembarking the ship.
For beverage purchases, fifteen percent of the bill is automatically added to the Sail & Sign charge. Room Service
staff may be tipped as service is rendered.
*Gratuities do not apply to guests less than 2 years of age
I will ask you when making your reservations if you want to pre-pay your gratuities which will then be added
onto your reservation at the rate of $60.00 per person for this 5-night cruise and the payment thereof will be added
to your final payment due by October 24, 2016.
What is the Liquor and Beverage Policy?
A liquor and beverage consumption policy was created in order for Carnival to be able to control the liquor
consumption of minors and the quantities consumed that lead to the disruptive behavior of others on board.
Liquor and Beverage Policy
Bringing Alcohol On Board - Embarkation Day:
Guests are prohibited from bringing alcoholic beverages on board. However, at the beginning of the cruise during
embarkation day, guests (21 years of age and older) may bring on board one 750 ml bottle of wine or champagne,
per person, only in their carry-on luggage. A $15 corkage fee per 750 ml bottle will be charged should you wish
to consume this wine in the main dining room or steakhouse. (A corkage fee is a charge exacted at a restaurant
for every bottle of liquor served that was not bought on the premises)
On embarkation day, each guest may bring a small quantity of non-alcoholic beverages on board and only in their
carry-on luggage. A small quantity is considered a maximum of 12 bottles and/or cans, 20 ounces each or less.
8

All alcohol/hard liquor/beer (sealed, unopened bottles/cans), wine/champagne over the allowable 1-bottle per
guest (sealed, unopened bottles) or excessive quantities of non-alcoholic beverages (over 12 per person, sealed,
unopened bottles/cans) will be confiscated and stored for safekeeping until the end of the voyage. The retained
item(s) will be available for collection onboard in a designated location on the morning of debarkation. Unsealed
liquids that are prohibited will be discarded, as well as any unclaimed items left after the voyage, and no
compensation will be given in either case.
Important Notice: Effective January 4, 2014, the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) will begin
collecting tax. This tax will apply to all liquor and tobacco that enters the state of Texas via the cruise terminal. All
purchases made on the islands, as well as onboard, will be taxed upon debarkation in the cruise terminal. These
duties will be addition to whatever taxes may be imposed by US Customs.
A letter and form will be distributed to all staterooms before embarkation commences. Guests will need to
complete the form and carry it with them when they disembark.
Beverage packages can be purchased once your board the ship or prior to embarkation by going through
Carnivals Gift Program via their website, and the alcoholic beverage package is currently $49.95 per person per
day plus 15% gratuity, so you 5-day cruise will cost $287.21 per person for Carnivals Beverage Package, but
this gets you up to 15 drinks per day each with a value not exceeding $10.00 each.

Large cooler restrictions:

Carnival Cruise Lines does not allow guests to bring large coolers on board its ships. However small, personalsized coolers, no larger than 12H x 12L x 12W for the purpose of housing small quantities of non-alcoholic
beverages and/or medications are permitted as carry-on luggage. Screening and movement of large coolers
through embarkation is an impediment to the boarding and security screening process. Therefore, large coolers
are not permitted as carry-on or checked luggage.
Ports-of-Call:
Alcoholic beverages of any kind purchased in any Port-of-Call will be retained at the gangway, stored on board
and held by Carnival until the end of the voyage.

Gift Shops On Board:

Alcoholic beverages of any kind purchased in the ship's gift shop will be stored on board and be retained by
Carnival until the end of the voyage.
The Fun Shops or Room Service:
Alcohol orders made through The Fun Shops or Room Service are not permitted to be taken to any location
outside of the approved delivery locations specified for those products at the time of purchase. These programs
are designed for in-cabin entertaining or in-dining consumption only. Consumption in public areas is strictly
prohibited.
Drinking Alcohol On Board:
The minimum age for the purchase and/or consumption of alcoholic beverages in the bars, lounges and gift shops
is 21 years of age. In the event that Bar/Restaurant/Gift Shop staff are in question that a guest is less than 21
years old, they shall request picture identification, prior to serving the drink or selling the bottle of liquor.
Carnival reserves the right to refuse the sale of alcoholic beverages to anyone.
Are there any age restrictions onboard?
Drinking alcoholic beverages: Guest must be 21 years of age or older to be served alcohol on board. Proper
I.D. with birth date is required.

taken on frequent bathroom breaks. Note: This includes the whirlpools.

Lifeguards are not on duty.

The pools are not designed for diving.
Use of the pools by guests under 13 without adult supervision is prohibited.

Why does Carnival place holds on credit cards used during the sailing?
For our guest convenience Carnival validates the credit/debit card to ensure there is funding. This prevents any
onboard expense account concerns while on your cruise vacation.
Please note, if any payment is given to replace credit/debit card previously used, the hold will remain on your
account. This will reduce the amount of funds available on your credit/debit card account. The release of this hold
is entirely up to the issuing bank. It can take up to 5 - 7 business days after your cruise return.
What is the VIFP Club?
The VIFP Club stands for the Very Important Fun Person Club, Carnivals new guest recognition program.
If youre a Past Guest, the program recognizes you for your continued loyalty to Carnival with increasing
recognition and benefits as you cruise more and more.
New to Carnival? The VIFP Club is a warm welcome to the Carnival experience and gives you access to VIFP
members-only rates and promotions.
Are there restrictions on what we can bring aboard?

TRAVEL INSURANCE:
I strongly encourage each person to purchase travel insurance to protect your vacation investment. The rate is
based on the dollar value of the reservation combined with the guests age. I will provide a travel insurance quote
for each reservation.
The travel insurance ensures that if you have an unexpected emergency that would prohibit you from taking the
cruise, you will be eligible for a refund. Additionally, if you have an emergency medical issue while onboard the
ship, medical coverage (including medical evacuation coverage) is included in the policy. Well worth the nominal
premium so you dont worry about the unexpected!

We always look for special promotions and additional amenities, coupled with lower prices, which add
more value to your trip.

We create a personalized travel folder with every detail of your trip directions maps specifics on
where to go, how to get there, what to do, assistance with tours and excursions, amenities, etc.

We are Charter Members of the Destination Weddings and Honeymoons Specialists Association, which
also shows our commitment to my romance travel couples.

Although we are Cruise Planners American Express, we arrange trips on land and on sea, and we accept
the following forms of payment: MasterCard, Visa, American Express, Discover, or debit cards that have
the MasterCard or Visa logos displayed thereon so the card can be processed as credit.

If you have an American Express credit card thats enrolled in Membership Rewards, we can process your

Approximately 3 weeks prior to your departure we will send you a comprehensive travel folder which will
contain all details of your trip; travel documents; copy of your Cruise Planners summary invoice with
discount coupons; destination information; and travel tips, along with some fun goodies.

Thank you so much for contacting us. We are looking forward to working with you both on this beautiful
destination wedding cruise!
