WiFi prices have quietly increased multiple times. Even the basic Social plan is $20+/day. Streaming (Netflix, Zoom) requires the Premium plan.
A 20% service charge (increased from 18% in late 2025) is added on top of the drink package price. The Bottomless Bubbles soda package also increased to $11.99/day plus 20% service charge.
Gratuity rates increase regularly. The April 2026 increase is the latest. A 20% service charge is also added automatically to all bar, dining, and spa purchases.
The 20% automatic service charge applies to all room service orders beyond the free continental breakfast.
A 20% gratuity is automatically added to all specialty dining charges.
Daily gratuities of $17/person/day (standard) or $19/person/day (suites) are auto-charged starting April 2026. Pre-purchasing before April 1, 2026 locks in the lower rate.
Carnival increased its automatic service charge on all purchases from 18% to 20% in late 2025. This applies to drinks, specialty dining, spa, and room service.
Advertised fares look very low but exclude taxes, port fees ($150-350+ per person depending on itinerary), and daily gratuities. Alaska itineraries have especially high port fees.
Canceling before final payment gives a non-refundable future cruise credit minus a $50/person service fee. After final payment, penalties escalate to 100% within 14-56 days of departure depending on cruise length.

MuseumPhoto: Wikimedia Commons (Aerial View of Launch Complex 39.jpg)
A full Saturn V rocket laid horizontal for inspection — 363 feet of the hardware that put people on the moon. The Apollo/Saturn V Center, Rocket Garden, and bus tours to historic Launch Complex 39 are all on one ticket. Plan four hours minimum.
🕒 9:00 am – 5:00 pm daily (hours vary; check ahead — closed some launch days)
MuseumPhoto: Wikimedia Commons (STS132 Atlantis undocking2 (cropped).jpg)
Thirty-three missions, now suspended at the angle it held in orbit with payload bay doors open for good. Inside KSC on the same ticket — and yes, people cry in there.
🕒 9:00 am – 5:00 pm daily (included with KSC Visitor Complex admission)
BeachPhoto: Wikimedia Commons (Indian River Lagoon National Scenic Byway - Clouds Over Cocoa Beach - NARA - 7719507.jpg)
Atlantic beach about 15 minutes south of the port, with the famous Ron Jon Surf Shop — a two-story surf emporium worth walking through even if you've never touched a board. Easy half-day.
MuseumPhoto: Wikimedia Commons (Kennedy Space Center (36017532512).jpg)
Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo artifacts alongside the biography of every inductee — it's inside KSC now on the same ticket. If you've ever wanted to see what John Glenn looked like at 20, this is the building.
🕒 9:00 am – 5:00 pm daily (included with KSC Visitor Complex admission)
LandmarkPhoto: Wikimedia Commons (Amf space mirror.jpg)
A 42-foot polished black granite mirror reflecting the Florida sky, inscribed with the names of astronauts who died in service. Not the loudest thing at KSC — and probably the one you'll think about on the ship.
🕒 9:00 am – 5:00 pm daily (accessible during KSC Visitor Complex hours)
