70 Percent Fun In The Sun!

Not included in your price is your airfare or travel to Port of Embarkation to get onto the ship. You pre-cruise hotel stay, pre-cruise drinks and pre-cruise meals are not included. (All your meals On-Ship ARE included.) Optional shore excursions are not included. Things like the SPA are extra. Hard alcohol drinks from the bar and wine are not included and you can put these on your sign-n-sail card.

The excellent dining room is free but the ship does have various upscale Asian, Italian Restaurants and one of the best steak houses you can eat at. That is $48 a person and optional. It is something you'll want to do at least once.

Short answer. No. Anyone publicly can book the same cruise. But without a JGOOT Cruise Name Badge or VIP Wristband you will not be allowed in our networking events, conference sessions, pre-cruise party at the hotel, private dinners in main dining room, cocktail parties, private excursions, beach or pool party, costume party, or private facebook group. So if you want to come socialize with your JGOOT family and learn from the JGOOT Experts, book with us. We make a small profit per cabin and most of that goes to our coordinators and staff for facilitating this great cruise. Our teams is the best in the business and are working hard to make this special event at sea the best vacation you ever had.

Yes! This is your vacation. Spend it with with the people you care about most.

Yes (as long as they sign up through this page). We welcome them in fact. Some events are no-kids allowed. Like rated R comedians etc. As well as even some of our evening or late night events. Your kids will be happy at Camp Carnival (included) and won't ever want to leave there.

Camp Carnival will. Your kids will love the fun and will want to be there 24/7. It is safe and fun and the kids love it.

From Carnival's site. "On their Carnival cruise, kids can enjoy all the best parts of summer camp and family vacation, all in one! At Camp Carnival, they'll start by splitting up into three different age groups: 2 to 5 years, 6 to 8, and 9 to 11. Our experienced counselors are there to make sure everyone in these small groups has an amazing time. And they do, with tons of fun-filled, age-appropriate activities including arts and crafts, songs, games, dancing, movies, video games… and of course plenty of toys! When it’s mealtime, kids get their own menus, with faves like mac & cheese, chicken nuggets, and more. And when the sun goes down, we offer Night Owls (fees apply) so kids get to stay up late having fun, while their parents also enjoy themselves well into the night."

That is entirely up to you. While we do recommend attending all the events, it is your vacation and if you want to miss a session and go to the Spa with the spouse, or just sleep in that's O.K. We just know once you come to one session you will want to come to all. If your spouse or family do not want to join sessions and enjoy the ship they are more than welcome to do so.

We at will arrange private shore excursions, just for members of our group. More info and a special link will be sent out as we get closer to the cruise.

Absolutely! Until Sep 2024. A small change fee may apply after that date. Please contact support@specialeventsatsea.com.

No. Carnival updated their Covid-19 protocols and requirements recently. You can find them here http://carnival.com/HaveFunBeSafe

We highly recommend you book a flight a day or two prior to the cruise. You do not want to miss the ship if your flight is delayed or cancelled. The ship returns on Saturday Nov 1st, 2025 in the morning. We recommend that you book a flight anytime after 1 pm.

Passports are preferred, however they will still accept the combination of Birth certificate (must be original or have raised seal) & a drivers License.

With drinks at $8-15 dollars you’ll need to drink an average of 6-8 alcoholic drinks to make it worthwhile… This can be purchased onboard if desired.

The daily gratuity is $16 per person per day ($18 per person per day for suites), which covers the room attendant, wait staff etc. It is auto-billed to your onboard account by Carnival. Also make sure to bring lots of small bills for tipping along the way.

We are working on a group rate for a pre-cruise hotel that will be announced at a later time. If you wish to use points for Hyatt, the closest one to the port is Hyatt Place Titusville / Kennedy Space Center.

You are responsible for booking your own flights. The closest airport to the port is Orlando (Airport Code: MCO).

From Carnival:

"It's only natural that you'll want to start outdoors… so let's. Wait, are those flying bicycles? Pretty much! SkyRide® at SportSquare™ is a twin-track suspended bike course — strap in and race around for the win or just cruise for great views. At Havana Bar™ & Pool you'll find an island retreat that evokes classic Cuban-style lounging with an emphasis on style... and on views, and on traditional cocktails! Carnival WaterWorks™ is packed to the gills with wet ways to get-a-splashin', including Kaleid-O-Slide™, which adds funky light and color effects to the 'speed-n-splash' story. If you can't get enough Guy Fieri, we invite you to try at Guy's Burger Joint™ and Guy's Pig & Anchor Smokehouse™. Rounding out this ship's sunlight highlights is Serenity Adult-Only Retreat™, the low-key grown-up spot that's more ‘lounging and hot tubs’ than ‘action and adventure.’ (But Serenity's complimentary chopped salad station gets our inner grown-up excited!)

Indoors, things are every bit as cool. Take RedFrog Pub & Brewery® for example — our Caribbean-cool pub has an onboard brewery producing exclusive craft beers you can enjoy just feet from the brewing kettle. We love to toast to what matters, so Heroes Tribute Bar was made for honoring service members. If you do seafood, you'll want to try Bonsai Sushi™ or the seaside Seafood Shack™, while JiJi Asian Kitchen® and Cucina del Capitano® satisfy cuisine-specific cravings. Of course Carnival Vista features a Dr. Seuss Bookville™ and youth activities for all kinds of kids (the smallers, the tallers and the in-betweeners)."

These are explained in detail on the next page.

Travel demand is skyrocketing, especially cruises! Rates and availability will go up between now and the cruise. Especially for a Halloween sailing on one of Carnival's newer, more popular FUN-ships. In order to secure the best deal on cabins, meeting space, private parties, group dinners, and special amenities to accommodate our expected 600+ participants, we had to act fast. So with just a small deposit needed now, and a 3 payment plan, it's affordable for most of our JGOOT family to attend!

These early bird JGOOT Cruise rates are only guaranteed for next 100 cabins, not including SUITES which are extremely limited and will be first to go. Rates will go up as we get closer or need to add additional cabins.

We recommend checking your cards for Carnival offers. If you have no offers, use the card with the best travel multiplier.

Payments may appear in separate charges as Carnival Cruises, Little Shop Of Cruises - SpecialEventsAtSea.com and Allianz Global Travel Protection (Insurance). The payment portion for Carnival Cruises will code as travel.

We need to check for availability but most likely, yes. Please contact support@specialeventsatsea.com

Solo cruisers pay as if two (double occupancy) so it is a 100% surcharge, less some gov. taxes and fees of approx. $280.

You can book as a SOLO and still add someone later, or book as a double occupancy with a TBA, or choose a half cabin share and split costs with someone you may find in the JGOOT community.

You will see these options along with room types, rates and descriptions on the registration page.
