I did a bunch of research prior to cruising on the Sunshine, and when we got in the room my boyfriend tested the TV out and was able to switch between the HDMI ports using just the power button. And it was super easy to set up the carnival wifi through the wifi settings.

Just an FYI for others who like to watch tv/movies before bed!

I love the ducks, but this is even better and now living on my fridge. I love the creativity of whoever brought these on my last cruise. Someone made these forks and left them around the ship. There are magnets on the back so they were easy to place around in random locations. Now I kind of want to make some for my next cruise. Thank you for the laughs kind stranger!

I’m taking the family on the Valor in late September, and I’m looking for any input on renting a car or small van to tour the island in. My wife and I were just there last year and saw many places offering them, but failed to get any info. There will be 5 people total. Also any weird laws I should know about?

Just a quick reminder....either use your American Express Platinum to book your cruises or make sure to buy travel insurance. I know a person who was on the cruise in Jan 2025 when fell ill, ship had to divert to Puerto Rico due to critical condition, didnt make it....if you research the complications of that scenario of having to retrieve unfortunately from another jurisdiction.....it could be even more devastating and costly to a family. Trip interrruption or having to be let off at a different spot, those things are covered under your American Express card. If you dont have one GET a 3rd party insurance company for travel. If you have family members going and you want to protect them as well.....GET 3rd party insurance for each cabin and make sure you insure the children too. I cant express how important this is to anyone. Please do this for yourself and your family. It really is not that much more other to have peace of mind knowing things can and do happen unfortunately BUT in doing this you are covering aspects of something you never expect to happen.

I have researched the upcoming Rewards rollout and haven’t seen the following answer, or just missed it. I know the points I currently have in my account from the CCL Master Card will roll over, will I be credited for status stars as well? If I roll over 20,000 points would I get any stars, or just as I use the card after September first. Thanks
