Bonjour Bama Fans!
It's nearly time to make your way down to New Orleans and board our parade float for a trip down ole man river on the second annual Crimson Tide Cruise!
But before you hit the road, we want to send a few important reminders your way, and share some additional info about the cruise.
We urge you to read through everything carefully so you'll be primed and ready to embark on your National Championship Worthy Vacation!

Don't Forget!
If there is one thing we urge you to remember before you leave, it is this:
Bring your printed Carnival Boarding Pass (or download it to your phones), and either your Passport or your U.S. Birth Certificate (original or State certified copy) and your government-issued Photo ID to the port with you!
DO NOT pack your ID or documents in any bags you plan to check when flying or at the port terminal because you will need them in order to board the ship!
Have You Checked In Yet?
If you (or your cabinmates) have not already checked in online at Carnival.com to print your boarding pass, NOW is the time to do so! As a reminder, here is your Carnival Booking Number:

Winning Boarding Day Tips
If this is your first cruise, here are a few helpful tips!
- You will be boarding the Valor via the Erato Street Cruise Terminal at the Port of New Orleans. Click here for the address and directions.
- To avoid long lines, we recommend you plan your arrival at the terminal according to the time you selected during online check-in, and not before 11:30am.
- We strongly recommend that you check any larger bags with the porters on the curb at the terminal, as guest staterooms are not typically ready until 1:30pm.
- Be sure to keep any medications you may need with your carry on items, along with anything else you’ll need before bags are delivered that evening (typically by 6:00pm).
- You will enter the ship on Deck 3-MID in the American Lobby. Once onboard make your way to Lido Deck (9-MID) to grab yourself a fruity drink, and you can hit the Buffet (9-AFT) for some tasty grub. Or, you can spend some time exploring the ship!
- Carnival Guest Services and the Crimson Tide Cruise Help Desk are both located in the Lobby on Deck 3-MID. You’ll find ASK4 and Carnival staff there to help with everything you need!

CTC Wristband
While checking in at the cruise terminal, you will receive your Crimson Tide Cruise wristband, which serves as your identification as a CTC guest. You must wear this wristband throughout the cruise as it will be required in order to gain entry into all private CTC events and activities.
If your wristband breaks, you must present the broken wristband to the CTC Help Desk (Deck 3 MID) in order to receive a replacement. Lost wristbands will not be replaced for any reason.

Autograph Sessions
A quick reminder up regarding our autograph sessions during the cruise:
- There will be TWO autograph sessions during the cruise, with half of the players at each.
- CTC will provide each guest who attends the autograph sessions one FREE 11" x 17" cruise branded poster which can be signed by all of the players.
- Each guest may also bring along one personal item (helmet, jersey, photo, etc) to be autographed.
- Each guest will be allowed one autograph from each player; either the CTC provided poster OR your personal item may be signed, but not both.
- Personal photography will be permitted but limited to one photo per player. In an effort to keep the line moving, we respectfully request that you have your camera out and ready as you approach each player.
- Due to existing licensing agreements and our player contracts, the following Legends are only allowed to sign CTC-Branded Posters: Kenyan Drake, Irv Smith, Jr., and Christian Miller.
Please understand that we must enforce this policy to ensure that all guests are served equally and fairly within the allotted session times.
