Can Sixthman book my hotel, airfare, rental car or shuttles?
We realize that your vacation begins the moment you book your cabins and we wish we could look after your entire journey. However, the only part of your trip we can truly impact is the part that happens when you step on the ship. In years past, we have tried to manage the experience you have with airlines, rental cars, and shuttles and we just can’t get them to care like we do. We will collect as much data as we can and refer you to airlines, rental cars, and shuttles so that you can make your own choice. We will see you on the ship and put our energy into making it the greatest vacation you have ever had!
Will there be an official kick-off party?
Details about any activities taking place in Miami the night prior to the event will be announced approximately 6 to 8 weeks prior to the cruise.
How do I get to the Port of Miami?
For directions check out our Port page.
When will I be sent my boarding documents?
Carnival uses the "Fun Pass" system, which allows you to print your boarding pass and luggage tags online, much like an E-Ticket. To do so, you will be sent a unique BOOKING NUMBER 3-5 weeks prior to the cruise and be directed to the Carnival site.
You will not be mailed any cruise documents or Carnival luggage tags.
What type of identification will I need to board the ship?
From the Carnival website:
