Here are a few things to take into consideration when booking your Carnival cruise vacation to Barbados: 

• Pre-paid gratuities are required and automatically added at booking;
• Air supplements, cruise-only transfers and pre/post hotel packages are not offered;
• The Vacation Protection Plan (VPP) is not offered;
• Travel Documentation - For those guests who are beginning and ending their trip in Barbados, or are "in transit" (taking a flight at the Grantley Adams International Airport), it is a requirement that you possess a valid passport;
• Check-in Procedure
  • Guests may check-in after the ship has cleared upon arrival and up to 30 minutes prior to departure.
  • Guests must show the ship security officer their cruise documents and then proceed to the Information Purser's Desk for check-in.
• Debarkation - Guests should allow sufficient time for Customs clearance; the recommended out bound air flight should be no earlier than 2:00 PM.
