How people pair up on Carnival
Carnival runs many short cruises of three to five nights to the Bahamas, Mexico and the Caribbean, from lots of US ports, so it is a popular choice for friend groups, first time cruisers and people celebrating something. Cruise buddies connect to meet at the pool, share tables, do karaoke and comedy nights, and team up on shore.
Popular sailings
Short Bahamas and Mexico cruises from Galveston, Miami, Port Canaveral, Long Beach and New Orleans are among the most common, plus longer Caribbean itineraries and seasonal Alaska cruises.
Shore days together
Beach breaks, snorkel trips and bar crawls in Cozumel, Nassau and other ports are cheaper and more fun as a group.
Getting a good match
- Post your ship and sail date so others on the same cruise can find you.
- Celebrating something? Say so; birthdays and bachelorette groups often team up.
- Say whether you want company on board, on shore, or both.
