As with all Carnival reservations, staterooms within each category are assigned on a first-come/first-served basis. Therefore, it is advisable to reserve an accessible or modified stateroom with your Destination Oceans Cruise Specialists as early as possible to ensure availability, but they must let us know before the booking is confirmed.

* Medically related special dining requests should also be communicated to Guest Access Services upon booking your reservation.
Service Animals
Carnival is pleased to permit guests to travel on board with specially trained service animals (e.g., seeing-eye and hearing-ear dogs). Please note that many of their exciting ports of call have established strict entry requirements for certain animals. Therefore, guests with service animals who wish to disembark to visit ports of call should contact the Department of Agriculture to determine the policy of each destination regarding admission of service animals to that country.
Special Transfers
For transportation from the airport to the pier, Hydraulic Lift Transfers are available for guests with mobility impairments, if requested in advance. Standard transfer charges apply; there is no additional charge for the lift. Please have your Destination Oceans Cruise Specialists contact Guest Access Services to arrange for special transfers.
Shore Excursions
At certain ports of call, small boats known as tenders are used to transport passengers from the ship to shore. Whenever possible, Carnival will attempt to permit guests using wheelchairs to proceed. However, certain of these tenders may not be accessible to individuals using wheelchairs, or the status of the tendering process at a particular port of under certain weather conditions may prove difficult for a safe transfer to take place. In each case, it will be the decision of ship officials to determine, based on their evaluation of safety issues for our guests and crew, whether or not a guest using a wheelchair may board a tender. To obtain information about ports of call that require tendering, please have your Destination Oceans Cruise Specialist contact Guest Access Services. Some ports of call may not be fully accessible to users of wheelchairs or for individuals with mobility impairments. Carnival will make every effort to work with you to help you identify shore tours to meet your needs.
Booking a Cruise for Passengers with a Disability
If you do indeed require special assistance on your cruise, please do not book your cruise online. Accessible cabins are not always shown online. Please call and speak to a Destination Oceans Cruise Expert and we will do our best to make sure your needs are taken care of before, during and after your cruise.
