2024 Carnival Breeze Group Cruise

For cruises that begin and end in the same U.S. port, the following WHTI-Compliant Documents are acceptable for cruise travel. These standard forms of documentation will enable the Department of Homeland Security to identify a traveler quickly and reliably. If a picture I.D. is not affixed to the WHTI-compliant document, a picture I.D. is required (a valid, unexpired government-issued photo I.D. for all guests 16 years of age or older).

• U.S. Passport (highly recommended)
• Passport Card
• State Enhanced Driver’s License
• Certificate of U.S. Naturalization
• Native American Indian Card

US-born citizens may also use a birth certificate (issued by a government agency and accompanied by government-issued photo I.D.) for voyages that begin and end in the same U.S. port, calling on WHTI destinations only. 

It is customary for guests to extend gratuities to the shipboard staff in appreciation for their hard work and exceptional service. 100% of your gratuities are distributed to the crew whom you interact with, such as your stateroom attendants, dining and culinary services staff, as well as other members of the onboard team who work behind the scenes to enhance your overall cruise experience. This charge is automatically applied to your onboard account to streamline the recognition process and ensure the crew will share in your generosity.  

To help you plan, we have provided the recommended onboard gratuities guidelines.

• Standard Staterooms: $16.00 USD per person, per day
• Suite Staterooms: $18.00 USD per person, per day

You may pay this daily gratuity in two different ways:

Pre-Pay

Gratuities can be added at the time of booking or anytime up to the sail date. Contact Margie Jordan, your Travel Advisor, to add pre-paid gratuities to your booking. Prepaid gratuities are reflected in the ‘Miscellaneous Charge’ field on the confirmation and in the guest’s E-Documents. 

Sail & Sign®

If you do not pre-pay your gratuities, the recommended, per-person, amount will be posted to your Sail & Sign account on the second to last day of the cruise. Should you not be satisfied with the service you receive, you can contact the Guest Services desk while on board. This will allow Carnival Cruise to address your concerns in a timely and appropriate fashion. At your discretion, gratuities may be adjusted after they have been posted to your account, while on board. Gratuities, as posted on your Sail & Sign account, will be considered final after you disembark and no changes will be made after the cruise.

Additional Information

• Gratuities are assessed on all guests, with the exception of children under the age of 2.
• Gratuities apply regardless of the dining options selected, such as eating at the casual dining restaurant or open seating dining.
• For beverage purchases, an 18% service charge will be added to the bill.
• An 18% service charge will be added to the cover charge for the Chef’s Table and Bonsai Teppanyaki as well as the nominal à la carte fee at Bonsai Sushi, Emeril’s Bistro, Guy’s Pig & Anchor Smokehouse | Brewhouse and Seafood Shack; additional gratuities can be added at the guest’s discretion.
• A gratuity may be extended to room service staff as service is rendered.

Thank you for your generous recognition of the onboard team. The crew works hard to provide you with a great vacation and takes pride in being part of the best team in the cruise industry.

Guests are prohibited from bringing water, sodas, and other non-alcoholic beverages that are packaged in glass or plastic bottles.

On embarkation day, a small quantity of non-alcoholic beverages (i.e., sparkling water, sodas, energy drinks, juice, and milk), packaged in cans or cartons, may be brought on board and must be in the guest’s carry-on luggage. A small quantity is considered a maximum of 12 sealed, unopened cans/cartons of 12 ounces/354 ml each or less, per person.

Guests are prohibited from bringing alcoholic beverages on board with the following exception – at the beginning of the cruise during embarkation day only, guests (21 years of age and older) may bring one 750-ml bottle of sealed/unopened wine or champagne, per person, in their carry-on luggage.*

Outside this exception, all liquor, beer, and other forms of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are strictly prohibited in both carry-on and checked luggage, and such items will be confiscated and discarded and no compensation will be provided. Guests sailing with us on back-to-back cruises are entitled to bring the same quantity as stated in this policy, per cruise. The additional quantities will be stored for safekeeping at the start of the first cruise and will be given to the guest as each following cruise begins.

* Port, Vermouth, Sherry, and other fortified wines cannot be brought on board. 

Guests may choose from three different dinner seating options. By popular request, all dining rooms are smoke-free.

Assigned Seating – Early Dining and Late Dining
This dining option offers guests a pre-set dining time for the duration of the cruise as well as the same table assignment each evening in the Main Dining Room. Guests who choose this option will not be able to reserve ‘Your Time’ open seating once on board.

‘Your Time Dining’ Open Seating
‘Your Time Dining’ is offered fleet wide.  Guests are seated on a first come, first served basis depending on party size and in most cases, are accommodated within 20 minutes. Advance table reservations are not accepted. Guests using Carnival’s HUB App can check-in for ‘Your Time Dining’ ahead of time or check-in when they are ready to go. The App will alert the guest when their table is ready as well as the table number in the dining room displayed on the App screen. All guests must be present in order for the party to be seated. The table will be held for 10 minutes. 

At time of booking, guests will be able to confirm their preferred dining choice. If their preference is not available, they may confirm an alternate time and be waitlisted for their preferred choice – there is no guarantee a waitlist will clear. When possible, waitlists will be cleared prior to the sailing and guests will be notified by email. Parties traveling together who are waitlisted together will be cleared on the same dining time.

For those guests who choose Early or Late dining, the assigned dining room and table number will be printed on the guests’ Sail & Sign® card which they receive when they check-in on embarkation day.
 

In addition, guests may opt for casual bistro dining in the Lido Deck Restaurant or dinner in the elegant Steakhouse Restaurants serving fine quality prime steaks and other dishes in an intimate, upscale atmosphere; as well as Cucina del Capitano®, a casual Italian restaurant. Other dining options offered are The Chef’s Table, Bonsai Sushi, and Ji Ji Asian Kitchen®. Please note, specialty dining options have an additional charge.
