Liability and
Relation with Airlines

travel we arrange is unavailable or otherwise fails to materialize, our
liability will be limited to refunding the air add-on amount paid to us.
We assume no liability for any acts or omissions of any airline,
including without limitation, those involving cancellation of flights,
schedule changes, rerouting, damage to or delay or loss of baggage,
flight delays, equipment failures, accidents, pilot or other staff
shortages, overbooking or computer errors. The liabilities and
obligations of an airline to you, and your rights as an airline
passenger, are subject to any and all terms and conditions of the
airline's ticket and tariffs.
Custom Fly Aweigh® Services
We'd be happy to personalize your travel plans.
At Carnival, we do everything possible to arrange the most convenient
and comfortable flights for all our guests. But if you would like us to
customize your flight arrangement, just let us know. If you want to
spend a few days before or after your cruise in the city of your ship's
departure, we can adjust the date of your flight. If you prefer a
specific airline, we'd be only too happy to satisfy your request,
whenever possible. And we can even make arrangements for you to upgrade
to First Class. The non-refundable charge for this service is $50 per
guest ($75 for Europe), subject to change, plus any additional airline
charges. The service is available for all guests under deposit until 45
days prior to sailing (60 days for Alaska and Europe cruises). Guests
booked on Carnival chartered flights may not be eligible for
Custom Fly Aweigh Services. Guests may use our scheduled
transfer service between the airport and pier only on arrival and
departure cruise dates. Consult your travel agent to obtain request
forms.

between cities in the U.S. & Canada and select Carnival ports of
embarkation. Simply book your cruise and call Amtrak® at I -800-TEL-TRAK
for train travel information & reservations.
*Restrictions apply.
Amtrak is a registered service mark of the National Railroad Passenger
Corporation.
Transfer Services
Guests who do not purchase Carnival's Fly Aweigh program have the option
of purchasing airport/pier one-way or round-trip transfers for the day
of embarkation and debarkation. For Alaska and Europe cruises,
Carnival highly recommends purchase of the optional 1 1/2 hour
motorcoach transportation for guests making their own travel
arrangements. Alternate transportation is costly, and taxi service
is very limited with no scheduled transportation service from the Port
of Civitavecchia to the train station. This service is available
only during normal operating hours. Guests who do not purchase
Carnival's Fly Aweigh program and do not purchase transfers are
responsible for all transportation to and from the pier. Advance
reservations are required 14 days prior to sailing. Please contact your
travel agent for details.
Important Notice
Please be advised that federal law prohibits travel between two
contiguous U.S. ports (e.g., you cannot board the ship in Miami and
debark in Key West). Any guest who insists on departing in this
situation accepts responsibility for any resulting penalties.

home after your voyage, call our travel hotline at 1-877-TVL-HTLN

provided, guests shall be provided a shipboard credit of $20 per person.

The foregoing is a summary of the itinerary change policy and is
qualified in its entirety by the complete policy which is posted on
Carnival's web site at
www.carnival.com.

transportation, shore excursions, medical services, items of a personal
nature such as bar beverages, gift shop purchases, beauty salon/barber
shop and massage services, gambling and service/porterage gratuities are

Liquor Policy
We are sorry, but guests are prohibited from bringing alcoholic
beverages for consumption on board the ship. However, if you will be
celebrating a special occasion while on board, a bottle of fine wine or
champagne may be brought on board during embarkation at the beginning of
the cruise only. A $10 corkage fee will be charged should guests wish to
consume this wine in the dining room. Guests may bring a small quantity
of non-alcoholic beverages. Excessive quantities to be determined at
the discretion of security and/or embarkation personnel, will be
confiscated and retained by Carnival until the cruise is completed.
Guests may also purchase mixed drinks and other beverages from any of
the ship's bars and lounges. Alcoholic beverages will not be sold or
served to anyone under the age of 21. We reserve the right to refuse
the sale of alcoholic beverages to anyone. Alcoholic beverages purchased
in the ship's gift shops or in foreign ports will be retained by
Carnival until the end of the voyage.
Tipping
How much you tip is a personal matter and completely up to you. However,
we do have many guests who ask for guidelines in regard to what is
appropriate. For your convenience, we automatically add the gratuities
for your dining and stateroom services to your onboard Sail & Sign
charge account. The total amount will be $10 per guest, per day (our
recommended guideline). You have complete discretion to adjust these
gratuities while on board based upon the level of service you receive
during the cruise. This will include the option to adjust gratuities
(Up or down) for any of the service teams. Tipping your Maitre d' is at
your discretion, based upon the service you received. Other personnel,
such as Bar and Room Service staff, may be tipped as service is
rendered. Fifteen percent of the bill is automatically added to Sail &
Sign beverage purchases, which you may adjust appropriately. For
Cruises-To-Nowhere, gratuities of $10 per guest, per day must be
prepaid.
Clothing
Casual attire is in order during the day. For one or two nights, a dark
suit or formal attire is suggested. The dress code for other evenings

T-shirts are not permitted in the dining room during dinner. For Alaska

Passport Data
CRUISE TRAVEL
The U.S. Government will require all of our guests (including U.S.
citizens) to be in possession of a valid passport when traveling on any
Carnival cruise. Foreign nationals should contact their respective
governments to obtain further details.
This requirement will become effective no later than June 1, 2009.
Please be aware that this effective date may be moved to an earlier date
pending the U.S. Government’s implementation of new identification cards
(PASScards) that will provide a less expensive alternative form of
documentation.
AIR TRAVEL
Effective January 8, 2007, passports will be
required for air travel to or from Canada, Mexico, Central and South
America, the Caribbean, The Bahamas and Bermuda.
This is an important new requirement for our cruise guests traveling
by air to embark or debark in Vancouver for our Alaska or Hawaii
cruises. In addition, this new requirement will also impact our Canadian
guests that travel by air to or from any of our U.S. embarkation ports.
For more information or to get a passport application, visit
www.travel.state.gov. Or, contact Passport Services at
www.passportservices.com/carnival for step-by-step instructions and
application assistance.
All guests must present the required
documentation at embarkation. Guests without the required documentation
will be denied boarding and no refund will be issued. Please understand
that Carnival will strictly enforce this requirement to be in compliance
with this important U.S. Government mandate.
Proper travel documentation is required at embarkation and
throughout the cruise. Even though a guest has completed registration
using FUNPASS, it is still the responsibility of the guest to bring all
required travel documents. Guest should check with their travel agent
and/or government authority to determine the travel documents necessary
for each port of call. Carnival assumes no responsibility for advising
guests of immigration requirements.
U.S. citizens must present proof of citizenship in the form of a
passport (valid or expired for less than 10 years), original birth
certificate, state-issued certified copy of a birth certificate from the
Department of Health and Vital Statistics, or original Naturalization
papers. Carnival strongly recommends its guests travel with a
passport since it will greatly expedite clearance by the Department of
Homeland Security.
U.S. Alien Residents need a valid Alien Resident Card. Canadian Citizens
must present a valid passport, original birth certificate, or certified
copy of a birth certificate. Non-U.S. citizens need a valid passport and
a valid, unexpired U.S. Multiple Re-entry Visa, if applicable. Guest
names on travel documents (passport, Alien Resident Card, birth
certificate, etc.) must be identical to those on the cruise and airline
tickets. Otherwise, proof of name change (e.g., a marriage license) OR a
valid driver’s license (or other government-issued photo ID) must be
presented.
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.
Non-U.S. citizens 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.
For sailings to/from Europe, U.S. citizens must have a
valid passport. Alien Residents and all other non-U.S. citizens are
advised to check with their travel agent or appropriate government
authority to determine the necessary documents. Certain foreign
nationals will be required to obtain a Schengen Visa and/or Croatian
Visa.
For sailings to Canadian ports of call, certain foreign
nationals must obtain a Canadian visa in addition to the U.S. Multiple
Re-entry Visa. Non-U.S. citizens must contact the appropriate
consulates, U.S. Embassy and U.S. Immigration office to inquire about
necessary travel documentation.
For sailings to Bermuda, U.S. Alien Residents must
present their valid Alien Resident Card in addition to their passport or
birth certificate from country of origin. These documents will be
returned upon completion of the Immigration inspection.
To debark for more than 24 hours in Mexico, guests must have obtained a
Mexican Tourist Card from either a travel agent or a Mexican consulate
prior to their departure.
When traveling with a minor and both parents/legal guardians are not
cruising, we strongly recommend bringing an original signed letter from
the absent parent/legal guardian authorizing the minor to travel with
you. This will expedite processing by the Department of Homeland
Security. Please note that a notarized letter to this effect is required
if debarking with children in Mexico.
In addition to the above requirements, all guests 16 years of age or
older must provide an official photo ID.
Minor Guests
Guests under the age of 21 years must be accompanied by a parent,
grandparent or guardian 25 years or older in the same stateroom. Infants
must be at least four months old to be eligible to travel. Guests under
the age of 21 staying at any hotel in conjunction with Carnival's Fly
Aweigh® program or vacation packages may be required to be accompanied
by a guest 21 years or older in the same room as per each hotel's
policy. Permission for minor guests to fly unaccompanied is
permitted/denied by the airlines as per each airline's rules. Guests
should check with their scheduled airline for eligibility. Carnival
assumes no responsibility for guests under 21 years traveling
unaccompanied by air. Our Camp Carnival® program features supervised
activities for children 2-14.
Please note that guests under 16 are not permitted in the spa and
guests under 18 are not allowed in the casino and height restrictions
apply to the water slide.
Visitors
Carnival has a No Visitors policy and regrets any inconvenience this may
cause.
Medical Services
Should you require medical attention while onboard, our infirmary staff
is available to assist you 24 hours a day. Our shipboard infirmaries
meet or exceed the Medical Facilities Guidelines established by the
International Council of Cruise Lines and the American College of
Emergency Physicians. The medical staff is from the fields of Emergency
Medicine and/or Family Practice, and is certified in Advanced Cardiac
Life Support.
Our physicians are independent contractors and, as such, are
entitled to render services at a customary charge. The charge for their
services and any other medical expenses will be applied to your Sail &
Sign account.
Pregnancy: Please be advised that guests who are 27 weeks or more
into their pregnancy at the time of the voyage will not be permitted to
sail because of the risk of premature labor.
Guests with Special Needs
Carnival seeks, to the extent feasible, to accommodate guests with
special needs so they are able to enjoy our ships and other facilities.
Guests who have any medical, physical or other special needs are
required to contact our Guest Access Services at 1-800-438-6744, ext.
70025, or TTY (for hearing impaired) at 1-800-972-4386 to discuss the
details of their specific special needs.
Baggage Liability
We highly recommend that all guests purchase a vacation protection
policy covering baggage, contents and accidents. Carnival's Cruise
Vacation Protection Plan is a comprehensive program that is attractively
priced. If you choose not to purchase insurance, Carnival's
liability for lost or damaged baggage, contents and personal possessions
is limited to a maximum of $50 per bag with a maximum total limitation
of $100 per stateroom regardless of the number of bags. Carnival cannot
accept liability for loss or theft of money, jewelry or other valuables
left in the stateroom or public areas on board. Safe-deposit boxes are
available in your stateroom, as well as at the Information Desk at no
charge ($25 refundable key deposit). We highly recommend guests
personally carry any valuables, medication or breakable items on and off
the ship.
Baggage Assistance
Curbside porters are available at the pier during embarkation to take
luggage to the vessel for delivery to your stateroom. Please be sure
each piece of luggage is locked and has a tag listing your name, ship
and stateroom number: Customary tip is $1 per bag. Curbside porters are
not employees of Carnival; therefore, any problems are the
responsibility of the guest. Carnival assumes no responsibility for
carry-on luggage. Any luggage left at the pier will be forwarded at the
guest's expense. Claims for luggage loss or damage must be made in
writing to the debarkation personnel prior to leaving the pier area.
Advanced or Delayed Sailings
In the event of strikes, lockouts, riots and stoppage of labor from
whatever cause, or for any other reason whatsoever, including inclement
weather, the ship owner may at any time cancel, advance or postpone any
scheduled sailing and may, but is not obliged to, substitute another
vessel and shall not be liable for any loss to guests by reason of such
cancellation or substitution.
Reservations are subject to change in the event of a full-ship charter.
Responsibility
Carnival neither controls, nor operates, nor is responsible for the
actions of independent contractors such as airlines, railroad companies,
tour operators or ground transporters. Carnival denies any
responsibility or liability for late arrival of your flight or train or
for any illness, injury, damage, loss of cruise time or other
irregularities resulting therefrom. Carnival's responsibility does not
extend beyond the vessel.
You are responsible for arriving at the respective ports on time for
embarkation and for joining the vessel at its next port of call if for
any reason you miss a scheduled sailing. Carnival reserves the right to
refuse or discontinue passage to anyone when, in Carnival's judgment, it
would be considered a risk to the guest's own safety and well-being or
the health, safety, well-being, comfort and enjoyment of any other guest
or crew member.
Cruise passage is subject to the terms and conditions shown on Carnival
Cruise Lines' "Terms and Conditions of Passage Contract Ticket,"
including the procedure for the resolution of disputes which must take
place in Miami-Dade County, Florida. (Copies of the ticket are
available upon request or in the "Guest Services" section of Carnival's
web site.)
All prices are quoted in U.S. dollars.
