I'm like you Lynette, I tend to overpack. Not that I'm putting on a fashion show. I tend to flip flop... 😂 I say I'll wear this but change my mind. So I give myself options 😂 😂
Hi we're going on our first cruise, thank you for all the detailed information!
Fastest to fun is only a charge per cabin and not per person ❤
I did a dolphin excursion in nassau! OMGosh! I LOVED itttttt!!!! Highly recommend
Thanks for all the info. I don't drink Pepsi. I'm bringing my own sprite on board.
All of your carnival cruise tips help me!! I've binged your videos for the past 4 days
Me too. Think I've watched half so far.🤣🤣🤣
Took my first cruise on the Carnival Breeze in February. I'm so glad I watched several of your videos beforehand. I felt so prepared which saved money and made for a hassle free vacation! Already booked my next Carnival cruise on the Jubilee 2024!
Wonderful!
Love you all! Me and my fiancé really do say y’all like auntie and uncle for real but the favorite ones 🥰 First Carnival cruise in May on Celebration 🎉 Go big or go home! Thanks for what you guys do
😂😂 ✔️✔️
Thanks so much for all your tips. The Dramamine came in handy for my kids.
You are so welcome!
Celebration was an amazing ship. Sailed April 2 to 9
Im Janice from Harrisburg, Pa
April 21, I will be on Carnival Celebration. Thanks for all your advice
Have fun!
Q. Sorry for so many questions but i just want to make sure my first time cruise is enjoyable!
Omg I’m a dreamer too!!! I’m so glad to hear someone else say it (especially Oder than me, no offense). Ifykyk cause I’ve mentioned it to others and they thought I was crazy or claimed it was deja vu. My grandma is a dreamer too, my mom speaks in tongues and my sister have intuition (idk what to call it) when her spidey senses go off, YOU LISTEN!
💯
I love all of this information! I will be on the Carnival Breeze March 18. Thanks for sharing!😊
Have fun!

@@LifeWithUsTV I totally get it! You guys are doing an amazing job keep shining!
Can you please do a clothing special for the carribean. Taking my first cruise in June. Excursion, Formal, and ship outfits, shoes, and materials for that weather.

Reg coffee is free

I’m an RN by trade but liking to become a TA (cruises only) as a second stream of income.
Q. Had anybody been on a Carnival Sunshine Cruise and stayed in a Interior Room Before
I love your husband! Wonderful spirit!!!
Hi! I stumbled across some of your older videos. Thanks for all you do. My first cruise on carnival is 4/27. What is the best amount to prepay for gratuity?
I am getting ready to go to International cruise Symphony of The Seas end of April
Love you guys
Going on the carnival Magic May 25
Me tooo girl me and My BF... hopefully I see ya there
Q. What all can u prepurchase
begore the cruise and if you use cash how u go pre- purchase stuff
Allie from Martha's Vineyard ...Carnival Horizon Oct 14th
Thanks! For all VERY IMPORTANT information needed for my first time cruise in March 4-9 2024. I'm not sure how to watch y'all live to support you very wonderful people. I get more common sense answers from y'all that I can understand. I live in Baton Rouge, La. Do you still recommend a hotel the night before?
Aww thank you so much. Oh yes, I’m in a pre cruise hotel as we speak ✔️
Hey Lynette, I know you're busy right now.. I just have one quick question. With y'all living in Virginia would I be able to use you as my travel agent with me living down here. Because I am just about ready to book my next cruise with one of the new ships either jubilee or Celebration.
We are leaving May 22nd thru 26th
Love watching your CZcams. Question How can I regulate the amount my son spends in the arcade each time without being with him.
You can set a daily spending limit on his card.
Missed the live chat 😢 but there were my questions
1-my husband’s birth certificate is in French. Can he still use it?
2-we are going on the carnival radiance to Catalina and Ensenada. Will they help us transition U.S money to Pesos?
3-we are bringing our 1 yr old wondering is it worth it to bring an early toddler being there isn’t much for them to do even on excursions
I would call Carnival to double check that. You do not have to convert the money to make purchases.
I’m having procedure done in the morning, that requires, I have to stay near the bathroom so I have watched your videos ALL Day. 😂 I too wished I’d booked our cruise through you all. We have three cabins on the carnival celebration in July. On what days do you guys go live on CZcams? I have a ton of questions. With the carnival fly to fun if you come in a day early, can you get transportation from your hotel to the port? Also, is there a beverage package that covers fruit smoothies?
We go Live on Thursdays. You can always call Carnival, its the same info ::)
Carnival Magic May 25
Carnival sunrise March 6
I going on carnival liberty in June
Big A$$ eyes Dolphins hilarious Queen
Lol
Just found your channel! Loved your content, you’ve gained a subscriber…just curious what’s your sailing date in May on the Celebration. Me and my family are sailing on the 20th out of Miami..
The week before you 😥
@@LifeWithUsTV, actually no I’m leaving on the 14th coming home on the 20th.. I’m so excited put the wrong dates in..
Well, see ya onboard 🥰
Can I ask what your fees are on top of the cruise? What it includes? And can you make payments until the end due date? How much down? Thank you! :)
Codefuntravel.com 🥰. You can make payments as long as your sailing is more than 75-90 days out. The down payment depends on the promo offered at the time.
Hoping to built something sustainable for my autistic son
Omg yess they kept telling me my card declined which it never did I was charge twice and couldn’t tell because I had no internet, meanwhile I paid in cash because my card so called declined😒
Hey Lynette and STANLEYYYY.🤣🤣🤣🤣Me and my husband are going on Carnival Vista in September. I have OCD and I'm wanting to know are the cabins clean enough or should I bring my own cleaning supplies?I know they clean but I know they might miss some spots
It’s never clean enough when you have OCD so bring your supplies ✔️
Hello
Question: I love to listen to my Spotify do I need the internet package?
Yes unless Spotify has a offline feature
What kind of denomination should I take with me? For tips and being at the ports?
The good ole American dollar
Love your channel…we are going on our first cruise this summer and I have a question…I vape and I know it’s treated like smoking…Here’s my deal…I have a vape that you take the batteries out and use an external charger to charge them up..is that type allowed…or am I better off just buying a few disposable vapes and leaving them in the package till I get on the cruise?…Thanks for any info
They don’t care, as long as it’s nicotine
Hey Auntie Lynette (lol),
My family is in the talking stage of going on a cruise the summer/early fall in 2025. I typically book my cruises myself, but since there'll be about 12-15 of us, I figured it be smart to use a travel agent. How can I find out when you're openings become available? I would love to link up with you. Thanks a bunch.
I'm open codefuntravel.com
That’s ❤❤❤❤🎉sharing
Q Do you need to have travelers insurance gor the cruise and if so where do we get it from
Question: why are you not so interested in Royal? Just curious! I’ve never been but im interested in seeing the ships. That’s about it lol
Their loyal to royal people are the reason. They comment racist and nasty things on our videos just because we’re of color and teach Carnival content.
@@LifeWithUsTV that’s horrible 🤢 such a turn off!
Yep! So the thought of being at sea with people of that mindset doesn’t appeal to me.
What would you consider cruise attire? I’m used adult only island resorts and feel there is a difference between the clothes and swim wear
It’s pretty much the same.
Can you use cruise cash in the casino?? Chile, I'm going to have to limit my husband. We just got back from Las Vegas and he looking forward to gambling on the ship and in Nassau on our day pass. Lawd help me!!! Lol
Yes lol.
Want to go on a cruise so bad! Told my grandma about it and she said oh no this and that and have you ever seen the titanic 😂...any advice on how to get her on board??
Nope, leave her and just let her hear about your great time. Trust me… sometimes the people you love will ruin your trip if they are hesitant lol
How do you prepay daily gratuities before your cruise?
Login to your cruise manager
You said social was a good choice for WiFi. But the value is more and has banking. You can’t get on banking websites with the cheapest package?
If you need to check your banking you’d need to select the package that supports that function
Mannn I just love y’all please adopt me already lol
Lol
I know you stated you only take 15 new clients a month. Can you assist with planning a class reunion in 2024 of about 35 people? Carnival Cruise line; Port: Galveston, TX; 5 day cruise. If yes, what are the fees per person. I would like to provide information to our class reunion planning committee. I am going to try and figure out how to subscribe to your channel. Sadly, I'm much older than you and social media is not really my thing. Thanks in advance.
Why everything is so expensive I Nassau? What can you do if you don't want have the money?
Vacations are expensive. It’s tourism
I have a question. Is it common to do a last min cruise? I decided a week ago that I want to go on a cruise this May for my bday lol
Nope and that’s not considered last minute. I have clients that book for the next week ✔️.
Q if i want to prepurchase the 12 pack of water and i need water fory c pap machine do i prepurchase before my cruise
Yes. You can pre purchase
I recently discovered your channel while researching for my first cruise. My fiancé and I are cruising with our kids so we have two rooms. Can I purchase the drink package for only the adults? When I try to purchase online w/carnival it is showing charges for everyone in the room even the minors.
It shouldn’t be charging the minors. You’d need to call em.
And your follower... StaCeyyyy
Lol
Why is the carnival HUB app asking for my credit card info?
It shouldn’t
Is sign and sail able to be used for everything like cruise cash? And is the only way to get it back by doing so on the ship?
the sign and sail card is used to purchase everything on the ship. You will buy the cruise cash and it will be added to your sign and sail card and if you don't use all the cruise cash you will lose the unused portion.
@LifeWithUsTV ok, so which is it that you guys are saying you can cash out at great services and not loose?
I'm coming in the day before my cruise. What's the best way to get to my hotel? Flying into Orlando and my hotel is in port canaveral.. seen the cab ride to my hotel is $139!! 😵🤒 why soo expensive??
Lyft or GoPort
Which one the cruises have seen the dolphins?
?
@@LifeWithUsTV i can not say anything, i am sorry. which one of the cruises have you seen dolphins . carnival ?
You ever travel with Horizon?
Nope
How is the carnival freedom?
It’s alright. It’s a older ship and in desperate need or a overhaul but a lot of people like it for short sailings.
How do you put money on your sail away card?
Cash onboard, card during the checkin process
🥳🥳💖💯🤩 What is the best area to book stateroom for newbies. #dontwanttogetseasick

@@LifeWithUsTVThanks love😀
yo fam
Ayeeee
Hello, first time carnival cruiser in September. I booked a cruise for my friend and I and I was wondering, how do you pay for stuff on the cruise??? Also, we’re two different people is there a way for her to add on her a card so her stuff will be charged to hers and mine will be charged to mine for anything we get on the cruise?? So we’ll be getting charged separately? If that makes sense
Everything flows through your individual sail and sign card that you have to fund.
@@LifeWithUsTV so I’ll have my card and she’ll have hers?? Or will it just have to be on one card?
2 cards
Are you interested I. Being a host travel agent? I am in the same boat. With always booking my family and friends vacations
??
Do I need to bring my passport on excursion?
No
Thank you this is our first cruise. We are sailing Carnival Breeze is our 28th Wedding Anniversary porting from Galveston on Saturday March 18th. I have down loaded the check list and ordered almost everything from Amazon that you listed. The information on your channel is very helpful.
QUESTION: What is your best pier runner story??
Honestly don’t have any
Cruising on Carnival Valor April 13th! QUESTION: My cell phone provider offers a cruise and international add on (text, talk, and data). Are you familiar with those plans and if so, what is your opinion?
Vaguely, my provider doesn’t offer it so I do not have personal experience with it.
@@LifeWithUsTV It sounds better and is cheaper than wifi thru Carnival. I might give it a try and let you know how it turns out!
Oh one more question what’s the deal with the pineapple jokes know one will tell they all say do it and find out
Google lol
I said before. I wish I had a Lynette and Stanley my 1st cruise. My 1st cruise $600 plus cell phone bill 🫣
