Carnival Cruise Lines and Barenaked Planet, Sixthman and Reverb have some great environmental efforts in place that you can be a part of. Eco-Efforts onboard the ship include:
- Recycling of aluminum, glass and plastics
- Use of china and cloth napkins
- Towel and linen re-use program
- Use of fair trade, organic coffee in all dining areas (donated by Green Mountain Coffee Roasters)
- Use of organic yogurt in all dining areas (donated by Stonyfield Farm)
- Use compostable corn plastic straws
How You can Help:
- Turn off the air when you leave your room.
- Close your curtains in your room when you leave it to maintain a comfortable temperature, and so more energy isn’t needed to keep the room cool.
- Recycle wherever and whenever you can.
- Place your towels back on the rack after use so that you can help.
- Decrease the amount of wastewater on board.
- Ask the bartender not to give you a straw; these can blow away and end up in the ocean.
- When ordering a beer with a lime, squeeze the lime into the bottle and then discard. A bottle with a lime stuck inside of it cannot be recycled (who knew?).
- Buy eco-friendly sunscreen as they’re less toxic for you and the environment.
- Buy carbon offsets for your flight or drive

About Carbon Offsets:
Our lives—driving our cars, powering our homes and businesses, coming on this cruise—all cause CO2 pollution, the leading cause of global warming.
 Offsettig, or neutralizing CO2 is a way to reduce our contribution to global warming. To put it in context, even if you use a fuel-efficient car, you still will use some gas, so you’ll be responsible for some CO2 pollution. You probably can’t go totally without driving, so to have a zero impact on the climate you have to do something else that reduces CO2 pollution. Some people plant trees, which take CO2 out of the air. With NativeEnergy, you help “plant” wind farms and other clean renewable energy projects, which stop CO2 from ever getting into the air and reduce our use of fossil fuels.
Through all of us working to offset the carbon emissions from this cruise, our donations will help build a new community based renewable energy project by bringing critical funding to it up front, when the project needs it the most.
These projects will deliver clean renewable electricity to the regional power grid, displacing electricity that would otherwise be generated by burning coal, oil and natural gas. By causing less fossil fuel to be burned to generate electricity, we’ll help reduce greenhouse gas pollution – mainly CO2. With our collective donation, we’ll keep your share of CO2 out of the air and fight global warming! Click here to learn more.
