so you've decided to take a Carnival Cruise that is very exciting I'm super
happy for you but before the fun can start you need to
actually book your cruise so I'm gonna show you how to do that now first you're
gonna want to go to the carnival website and I'm assuming you've already figured
out what cruise you want to take but if you haven't you can use some of these
functions to help you figure it out if you haven't already created an account
do so but assuming you have created an account click login enter your email
address your user name and password and click login now keep in mind if you're
doing searches when logged in Carnival has a bit of a record of that so there
is the possibility that they might reach out to you if you end up not booking
your cruise if you want to look at cruises without that possibility poke
around without logging in if you click on the box on the left that says sail to
you can filter the results of your search based on your destination the
next box sail from will allow you to filter your
results based on your departure port the dates box will allow you to filter your
results based on the timeframe that you're looking at traveling and the
duration box you can use as well to select how long your cruise is going to
be once you've done that review the results and find the cruise that you're
interested in it'll show how many days where it's sailing from and where it's
sailing to select the triangle just underneath the dates so you can see all
the various states that this cruise occurs on find the date that works for
your schedule and look at the various different cabin types that are available
with their starting prices and click on the one that you think works best for
you you will still have an opportunity to select another kind of cabin later in
the process if you're not a hundred percent sure on the next screen some
more information about what you've selected will appear the red box
reviewed trip details will take you basically to the end of the booking
process we recommend you select the blue pick room option it will display
different pricing options and room options and give you more control over
your cruise on the next screen indicate how many people will be staying in your
cabin if you're looking to book multiple cabins click add another room on the
next screen indicate your country province or state whether you're over 55
years old military select promotional programs or if you require an accessible
room also if you've sailed on Carnival before make sure that your VIFP club
number is entered the reason you put this information is there can be
different sales available for people from different countries States and
provinces different qualifying programs or past guests on the next screen you'll
get a little bit more information about the kinds of rooms
that are available and updated prices select the one that works for you on the
next screen it will recommend a rates for you or possibly a couple of rates
that you can select from there are often more that are hidden on this screen click
more options to see the additional choices in the example on the screen now
you'll notice that there's actually a cheaper Cruise by a dollar per person if
we were to let carnival select the cabin for us now personally we think
being able to select our own cabin is worth two dollars so we're gonna go with
the original offer next you'll have the opportunity to select what
part of the ship you'd like to stay in whether the front middle or back
generally speaking if you're concerned about seasickness the middle part of the
ship is more stable as a result there are sometimes an upcharge to stay on the
middle of the ship as there is in this example note that that up charge of a
dollar and thirty cents per day is per person next you get to select the deck
that you want to stay on or floor similarly a higher deck is a little bit
more stable if you're concerned about seasickness and is generally closer to
the action depending on the kind of ship you're staying on some decks will sell
out and some decks will cost an additional charge and again please note
that additional charge is per person per day select the one that works for you on
the next screen you'll have the opportunity to select the room that
you're interested in staying in this is where you're gonna want to open up
another browser window and load the Carnival website again and look for the
deck plans of the ship you're looking to book find the cabin that you're looking
at and look at what's in the general area are you next to a restaurant the
main performance area a piano bar a nightclub these things might be loud as
well elevators and stairwells might have additional foot traffic something to
consider also look at the decks immediately above and below your cabin
to see what's there if there's a galley or a nightclub it might be kind of loud
ideally if you have cabins to the left of you to the right of you above and
beneath you you're probably gonna have a quieter stay on the next screen is your
trip details which has a lot of useful information including the taxes and fees
that get added on to the base cruise rate if you click your itinerary or
important note additional information will display about your sailing
underneath the price you do have the ability to prepay your gratuities if you
would like a total is also displayed for all the people in all the cabins now
even though you're already logged in it will probably ask you to log in again
for the primary guests most of the information will be pre-populated from
your account correct any errors or fill it out if it
hasn't populated and on the next screen will be a basic payment screen where you
can enter your credit card information thanks for watching this tutorial and we
hope you have a great time on your cruise if this is your first cruise I
highly recommend you check out some of the other videos here on the channel
they'll show you how you can do things like buy things on the ship as well as
give you information about the food options thanks for watching
