Fun pass? What's that?

It is on carnival's web page. You fill in information on everyone going with you on the cruise. Then you print the page. It says to have it upon arrival at the cruise terminal. That's about all I know about it.

New US Coast Guard security rules says that PAX manifasts have to be filed with them 72 hours (I think that's the time line) before a cruise ship sails and I believe before a ship comes into any US port.

I'm sure that if I havew my facts wrong someone will have the correct information.

supposed to speed up embarkation b/c they are just verifying your info instead of you sitting there and filling it out at the dock. don't know if it is that much faster or not. i guess i'll find out sunday.

They didn't even look at ours when we went in June. We went to the Skipper's Club. So I don't know why we do it.

Funpass doesn't have anything to do with the manifest. They *know* you are going - funpass just enters some additional info into the computer so that you don't have to do it when boarding. Lines were about the same for both funpass and non-funpass folks when we sailed, but maybe our line moved faster....
