Booking Instructions

  1. Room Type – Determine which type of room you would like. The room types are listed in the next section.
  2. Number of People – Determine how many people will stay in the room that is being booked. Room prices are normally quoted based on double occupancy. A third and fourth person can be added at a discounted rate.
  3. Rate – Which rate is right for you? Do you want to place a $100 per person refundable deposit on a room in exchange for more flexibility, or would you rather put down a smaller, non-refundable deposit?
  4. Passenger Information – For each passenger in the room, please gather:
    • VIFP Number (if known) – This is also sometimes called a past passenger number
    • Gender
    • Full legal name
    • Date of birth
    • US citizen?
    • State of residency
    • Email address
    • Phone number
  5. Contact Alex Agle to book your room. I will gather the above information from you, put your room on hold, and email you a reservation confirmation. Call me at 404-967-8370 to book.
  6. Pay Deposit – Once everything looks good, it is time to pay the room deposit, which reserves the room for you. I will email you a payment link where you can pay Carnival directly on their website. If preferred, you can also pay over the phone with me. Once payment is received, I will email you an updated booking confirmation showing that the deposit has been paid. All credit card charges come directly from Carnival.
  7. Future Payments – After your deposit is paid, your can continue to use your payment link to make additional payments. You can also email, text, or call me if you want to make any additional payments. It’s also possible to have Carnival charge equal installments to your credit card automatically.
  8. Final Payment – For this sailing, any remaining balance is due by May 27th, 2026, which is approximately 75 days prior to the cruise. I will contact everyone approximately 20 days prior to this date to make final payment arrangements. When paying the deposit, it is also possible to have Carnival automatically charge the card on file when the final payment is due.
  9. Online Check-In Reminder – I will remind everyone when it is time to check in for the cruise. The check-in window opens 14 days before the sail date (16 days for Platinum and Diamond members).
  10. Airfare and Hotels – My specialty is Carnival cruises. I generally don’t book airfare or hotels for clients, but I can certainly make recommendations if requested. In case of any flight delays, it is a good idea to arrive at the port no later than the day before the cruise. If scheduling a flight back home, the best practice is to book a flight that departs at 12PM or later.
  11. Carnival Vacation Protection – For approximately $49 – $79 per person, you can add vacation protection to your cruise. You can click here to read about the benefits provided. This price is reduced for the third and fourth person in a room.
  12. Allianz Insurance – If you are interested in more comprehensive travel insurance, then I can email you a no obligation quote. One policy can usually cover all members of a family traveling together. This is generally better coverage than what Carnival offers, however, the price can be a little higher too. If you choose to purchase the policy, you can do so directly from the link in the email.

Room types

Check the deck plans for more detailed information for rooms onboard the Carnival Firenze.

Interior (4A – 4J) – These rooms are typically smaller and do not have a window to view anything outside of the room. One advantage is that the room can be pitch black when the lights are off. Approximately 150 square feet. Two twin beds can convert to a king bed. For a three or four person room, the additional beds usually come down from the ceiling. Each room has a bathroom with toilet, shower, and sink.

Ocean View (6A, 6B) – These rooms are slightly bigger than interior rooms and have a window where you can see the ocean. Approximately 200-265 square feet. Ocean View Deluxe (6L) – Approximately 214 square feet. Two twin beds can convert to a king bed. For a three person room, the third bed is a single bed converted from a couch. For a four person room, the fourth bed usually comes down from the ceiling. The 6L version of the room features an additional bathroom with bathtub and sink (no second toilet).

Balcony (8A – 8H) – These rooms are similar to ocean view rooms, plus they have their own private balcony. Approximately 222 square feet including balcony. These balcony rooms are typically on higher decks of the ship. Two twins convert to a king, third bed is a single bed converted from a couch, and fourth bed pulls down from ceiling.

Specialty Extended Balcony (8M) – Approximately 245-297 square feet including balcony. Aft facing balcony (8M). These balcony rooms are on higher decks of the ship at the very back. Two twins convert to a king, third bed is a single bed converted from a couch, and fourth bed pulls down from ceiling.

Premium Balcony (9B) – Approximately 265 square feet including balcony. These balconies are typically near the rear corner of the ship and offer more balcony space. The interior of the room sometimes offers more premium features that you might find in a suite, such as upgraded countertops.

Rate Information

The general rule of thumb is that I can book your cruise for the same rate that you can find on Carnival’s website, or for less if the group rate is a better value or if a covert rate is available. There are four general rates:

  1. Special Offers – Past Carnival guests may have special offers, where there are discounted room rates and $100 or more in onboard credit is provided. As each guest is booked, I will double check for any special offers. Rooms booked under special offers do not count towards the group.
  2. Early Saver Rates – These rates usually have a reduced deposit from the usual $100 per person for a three day cruise. A $50 per person fee applies to any cancellations or rebookings. Sometimes this rate will offer some onboard credit. In the event that the price of the cruise falls, then you can get the lower pricing. Quoted prices could fluctuate slightly until the cruise is booked. Rooms booked under this rate count towards the group benefits. See pricing details below.
  3. Group Rates – Deposit is $100 per person, and it is fully refundable before May 31st, 2026. These quoted group rates expire May 15th, 2026. These rates count towards the group benefits. Initially, group rates are the same price or slightly higher than the Early Saver rates. Over time, the group rate remains the same while the Early Saver rate tend to increase.
  4. Covert Rates – These are rates that are not advertised to the general public. I have access to these rates through my relationship with Travel Planners International. They are not available for every cruise. Sometimes they cannot be combined with a group. This pricing is generally the best deal, if available. You won’t see this pricing on Carnival’s website; it is only available through a select group of travel agents!

Once we have five rooms booked into the group and paid in full, then each room receives an extra $25 onboard credit as a group benefit ($12.50 per person for first two people). Group-based onboard credit is provided once the cruise begins. It cannot be used on Carnival’s website.

Pricing – As of 6/01/2026

All pricing includes taxes and fees, but excludes gratuities and insurance. Gratuities are $51 per person for this three day cruise and can be prepaid or added to your onboard account. Carnival Vacation Protection starts at $49 per person and is due at the time it is added.

Your travel agent has access to some exclusively discounted rates for this cruise! Oceanview starting at $268 per person, Balcony starting at $351 per person, and Ocean Suites at $940 per person. $100 deposit ($50 per person). This pricing cannot be advertised to the general public; it is only for my clients! This offer currently ends on June 1st at 9PM PDT and might not be extended.

Other Discounted rates

There are discounts for current and former members of the military, current and former commercial airline pilots, and some delivery workers (UPS, FedEx, DHL). I have also seen recent discounts for Canadian residents. In the past, there have been discounts for senior citizens and residents of certain states, but I have not see those discounts recently. People often ask if there is a discount for children. Children generally pay full price, although the third and fourth person in a room pay discounted prices. Infants under age 2 are not charged gratuities.

Other types of rooms are also available, depending on your desires. Suites begin at $940 per person.

Documentation Requirements

This cruise is considered a closed-loop cruise, because it starts and ends at the same USA-based port. A passport is not required for this closed-loop cruise, although it is recommended. Passengers with a passport will be able to debark the ship slightly faster at the end of the cruise. Most passengers bring the following identification documents:

  • US Passport or
  • State issued drivers license or identification card AND State or county issued birth certificate (photocopy acceptable)
  • As of May 2025, all drivers licenses need to be Real ID compliant for air travel. Please make sure that your ID has a star in the upper right corner if you plan to fly.

For more information, please review the documentation requirements for US citizens.
