FREE things on a Carnival Ship!!

[StanfordsGirl]

While doing some research, I came across some FREE THINGS that you can get on a Carnival ship!!

1. FREE bungee cord with a clip for your sail 'n sign card at the casino.

2. FREE champagne at the art auction.

3. FREE cappuccino in the dining room during breakfast, lunch and dinner (when DR is open). Have them mix it with hot chocolate and you've got a nice mocha drink.

4. FREE medication for sea sickness at the pursers desk and/or infirmary. And you can also get these items there too:

Aspirin

Ibuprofen

Neosporin

Bandaids

Pepto-Bismol

Little packet of sewing needs

Pens

5. FREE liquor tasting in the shops (usually the first night).

6. FREE deck of cards at the pursers desk.

7. FREE Afternoon Tea on a sea day. There is an assortment of teas, smoked salmon, strawberries and cream, cakes, etc. ---- plus a nice trio playing.

8. FREE soft serve ice cream 24 hr a day, but on sea days (usually for a couple of hours in the afternoon) they also have FREE hard ice cream and all the fixings for making sundaes!

9. If you go to the port talks that are given, they usually have FREE give aways - sit close to the front as they usually throw items off from the stage.

10. FREE drinks and hors'douvres at the Captains Party and Past Guest parties. And if you don't like what is on the servers tray, order whatever you want and it is FREE. (Past guest parties are on the 5 day and longer cruises)

11. The cruise book in the cabin can sometimes be had for FREE if you ask the steward nicely (I would tip him).

12. FREE room service (but don't forget to tip).

13. Travelers checks can be cashed FREE of charge (there is a fee for personal checks).

14. When you buy the drink of the day, the souvenier glass is yours to take home for FREE.

15. Not every ship has a Sushi bar but if your ship does...it's FREE. They are only open for a few hours in the late afternoon, so watch your Capers.

16. If you are very lucky, you can get a FREE facial or other spa treatments if you go on the spa tour when you first get on the ship. Also, go to the talks from the spa and you can get 10 % off.

17. Enter one of their game shows and you will win a FREE bottle of Champagne.

18. You can order as many appetizers, soups, salads, entrees, or desserts as you want in the dining room and it's FREE.

19. The amenities baskets in the bathrooms have sample sized packs of razors, toothpaste, dental floss, Emergen-C, lotion, shampoo, Advil and it's FREE. You can always ask your room steward for more if you run out (they appreciate a tip for supplying you with more).

20. If you run out of bobby pins for your "updo" on formal night, the beauty salon will give you some for FREE.

21. FREE banana splits and mac & cheese in the dining room.....they are not on the dinner menu but are on the kids menu.

22. FREE postcards with the ship on them are usually in the stationary drawer of your cabin and if not, ask for them at the pursor's desk.

Wow Janice! This list is awesome. Can you do one for Royal Carribean, or are you strictly a Carnival gal?

I'm really an itinerary girl and have cruised on many lines. But I put this list together for one of my Ladies Cruises as we were on Carnival.

As for RCI, I won't be crusing on them again. I was on the swine flu cruise last year to Mexico and we got diverted to San Francisco instead. Nobody had the proper clothes for cold, windy, and rainy and RCI could have cared less. Plus they lied to all the passengers about the CDC recommendations. Princess and Carnival both gave their passengers 50% off their next cruises because of the itnerary change but RCI gave their passengers NOTHING!! So I vote with my dollars and RCI won't be seeing any of mine again.

Same for us! We won't be sailing RCI again unless it's a free cruise and that won't happen from RCI LOL
