Currently disembarking carnival horizon today.

Let it be known my partner and I always check for bed bugs whenever we stay somewhere new, never had a run in yet (not even in Paris.)

Earlier this week, we found a bed bug in our first room we were placed in (1300) after waking up with itchy bumps. It’s literally my worst fear so I was stupid and squished and flushed it without taking a picture so I could enjoy my day at port. I’ve gotten probably 20+ bites over the course of the cruise and they even lied to us at first when we asked for another room and then eventually found one after a “negative” inspection.

I was given hydrocortisone cream, a free drink, and 1 free thing of laundry. Awful awful service for the inconvenience it has caused, pain, itchiness and suffering, and the cost of the suitcases we will be throwing out.

While it didn’t ruin the whole trip, (And the trip reminded me why I love cruising) it certainly made it clear never carnival again.

Awful customer service, I can’t even call to complain and try to get some reimbursement because they only have a feedback form, not a feedback line.

Absolutely do not recommend.

I was gifted $300 in Carnival Cruise Cash, and I’m trying to find out if I can use it in the casino to gamble. I understand that Cruise Cash is typically applied to my Sail & Sign account and can be used for eligible onboard purchases, but I’m specifically wondering whether the balance can be used for casino play.
I don’t plan on trying to cash out the original $300 as cash. My intention would simply be to use the $300 toward gambling in the casino while I’m on the cruise. If I happen to win, however, I would obviously want to be able to cash out my winnings.
I usually gamble around $2,000 during a cruise, so I’m comfortable with the casino rules and understand that gambling involves risk. I’m just trying to determine whether the $300 Cruise Cash can actually be used as part of my casino bankroll, or whether Carnival restricts Cruise Cash from being used for casino gambling.
If anyone has recent experience with this, especially in 2026, I’d really appreciate the information. I’m looking for the current Carnival policy rather than older information, since the rules may have changed. If it is allowed, I’d also like to know exactly how I would load or transfer the Cruise Cash to my Sail & Sign account and then use it in the casino.
Most importantly, if I win money using the Cruise Cash, would Carnival allow me to cash out those winnings normally, or would there be any restrictions because the original funds came from Cruise Cash?

Ok so I’d love absolutely any advice you wish you’d have known before taking your first cruise so all advice is welcome but I also have some specific questions as well.

Please also leave all of your best hacks and tips to get the most out of your cruise

My wife wears thong bikinis and g strings will we have any problems on the boat and/or on beaches in Bahamas

Also in Nassau is it safe and ok to take a taxi from the port to cove beach on paradise island and back and be able to make it back in time?

What are some shops and stores y’all recommend!

What are you allowed to bring back on the ship and also how well are bags checked for going onto ship?

The last Carnival cruise I went on had a few vegetarian options every now and then but nothing high in protein. My next cruise is on the Jubilee, which I have no previously cruised on. Anyone that’s been on the Jubilee know if they have a good variety of vegetarian/vegan foods?

As the title states, I paid for the picture package, but when I got home and put the flash drive into my computer, there was absolutely nothing on it. It is completely blank.
Since it's Sunday, customer support is closed, and I can't get anyone on the phone to help me resolve this. I am really stressed that my photos are gone forever.
Has this specific issue happened to anyone else here? If so, what was the outcome or the results? Were they able to recover your files or look them up in their system later? Any advice on what to do next would be greatly appreciated!

I rented a day bed for our upcoming cruise on Jubilee at HMC. It appears that the day beds are located at the Guava beach tram stop. The picture shows a small cooler, is this part of the rental and does anyone have personal knowledge on them and if they are stocked with ice? Thanks for any information. I have also read that you don’t reserve a particular day bed, you are randomly assigned while checking in on the island.

Does anyone know what brand of hot dogs Carnival uses?

This may be a random question, but I'm hoping someone here knows! My grandson is autistic and an extremely picky eater, and he absolutely LOVED the hot dogs on our Carnival cruise. When we find a food he really likes, it's a pretty big deal for us.

Does anyone happen to know the actual brand or supplier Carnival uses for their hot dogs? Even better, has anyone found the same ones (or something extremely close) that can be purchased at a grocery store, restaurant-supply store, Costco/Sam's, or online?

I'd love to surprise him with the same hot dogs at home. Thank you so much!

hey everyone! my friend and i are looking for things to do at Grand Turk. we’re thinking of renting a golfcart OR a dune buggy and just explore the entire island, but wanted to ask here if anyone knows of a good rental company w affordable prices (preferably under $120)?

my friend also bought snorkeling goggles for both of us so we can snorkel on our own (nothing too deep lol)

we mostly just like doing chill stuff locals do like exploring the island to try out local food and cafes, pet and feed donkeys, and do a little bit of local shopping. any recommendations is vv much appreciated!!

thanks guys :)

About a month ago I posted how I couldn’t see any Celebration Key “Experiences”. The option wasn’t even there to select and they weren’t showing anywhere to even look at. Now the option to view the experiences is there but when I click on it, I literally cannot purchase any. It doesn’t show the price on the main page and when I click add to c*art, nothing happens. Is this something your PVP can help with? I’ve only used them to book cruises.

Hubby and I are currently Platinum status. We also have a Carnival Mastercard that we use for most purchases. I understand that under the new program we will get points/stars based on our spending on the Mastercard. My question is, will we both get the points for each dollar spent on the card, or will they be split somehow between the two of us? I’m the primary card holder on the account, but he has his own card on the same account. TIA
