-
Board, unpack, meet your fiber family, and kick off with our Welcome Stitch Circle.

Full-day craft lounge takeover. Bring your main project, your backup project, and your emotional support project.

Beach days, boat tours, or “accidentally buy yarn in Mexico” energy.

Second Cabo day because sometimes your project needs better lighting.

Our biggest crafting day — games, swaps, group photos, and evening stitch-under-the-stars.

Coffee, tacos, artisan markets, and possibly yarn-smuggling (legally).

Exchange hugs, Instagram handles, and promise to meet again next year.
Cabins and Prices!
-
Dark, quiet, and gloriously distraction-free, interior cabins are perfect for cruisers who plan to spend their time in stitch circles, lounges, and snack lines — not staring out a window. These cozy dens are ideal for deep project focus, post-pool naps, and late-night pattern marathons. If your love language is “leave me alone with my yarn,” this is your sanctuary.
Starting at $551 per person
-
Ocean View cabins bring in glorious daylight — perfect for counting stitches, photographing progress, and dramatically gazing at the horizon while questioning your color choices. You get all the comfort of an interior room plus the mood-boosting power of sunshine and sea views. It’s basically a floating craft studio with a built-in inspiration board.
Starting at $750 per person
-
This is the holy grail for fiber folks. Step outside with your morning coffee, feel the sea breeze on your project, and stitch in complete peace while the ocean does its emotional support thing. Balcony cabins are your personal escape pod — perfect for sunrise crochet, late-night knitting, and sneaking away when your social battery needs recharging.
Starting at $910 per person

Important Details!

Onboard Credit
$150 onboard credit per stateroom — because your vacation deserves extra fun money for margaritas, souvenirs, or a round of desserts.

One-hour hosted party with cocktails, wine, beer, soda, and coffee — just bring the fun! Requires 8 or more cabins booked. At Carnival’s discretion.
Sweet Sip Surprise
Complimentary bottle of premium red wine (Carnival's choice) served with cheese and crackers in each guests' stateroom, along with sparkling cider, and a chocolate delight — delivered to your cabin or at dinner.
-
A $125 per person deposit is due at the time of booking with final payment due May 11th 2026

Important note: to receive the full set of group perks (onboard credit, private cocktail party, bottle of wine, chocolates, etc.), Carnival awards them only to the first two guests per stateroom. So we’ll encourage guests to keep it to two per cabin to ensure everyone gets the full benefit.
-
Travel Docs Reminder: All guests must have proper identification to sail. A valid passport is always recommended, but if you don’t have one, you’ll need a government-issued photo ID and an official, certified birth certificate (no photocopies or hospital certificates). Don’t get left on the dock—make sure your docs are ready to cruise!
The Fiber Arts at Sea Cruise is a yarn-filled adventure of stitching, sipping, and sailing! Sunset circles, crafty workshops, tropical ports, and endless laughs—because when hookers hit the high seas, it’s always knotty and nice.
