This is a call to action for the field of Design Thinking and its practitioners. What are your politics and how will you shift your practice and teaching to instruments of liberation? These questions will continue to drive my practice until I retire. As a practitioner, teacher, and writer, I am dedicated to creating liberatory futures through design. Join me for the next piece in this series where I outline how I have changed my practice to address these critiques.

Meet the team!

Designers are incentivized to create flashy stories and slide decks for consumption by other designers, to get hired or accepted in higher education programs. The more dire the need, the more flashy the solution, and the more “wrapped up with a bow” the project seems, the better off you are. This creates unspoken expectations for what makes good design, and I’d argue it’s not defined by what’s good long-term for those living these social challenges. One of the challenges of working this way is being willing to acknowledge that despite your academic expertise, there are other sources of knowledge that are critical to design work, including lived expertise.

What Is Today’s Strands Hint?

I went on to leave the university, co-create Liberatory Design, become an Organizing Committee member of the Equity Design Collaborative, and found my own Liberatory Design studio, Beytna Design. I want to bear witness to my own errors to hold myself accountable to continue practicing differently and to hopefully prevent others from repeating my mistakes. We designed custom asynchronous and live workshops to equip their Social Emotional Learning staff to embed equity into their SEL work during the pandemic. We co-led an inclusive multi-stakeholder workshop to re-imagine housing in the Bay Area with leaders including disability rights groups, local politicians, housing developers, and other stakeholders. With the Columbus Foundation, we collaborated on three intensive co-design sprints.

Notice invites us to practice self-awareness, seek context about the systems we’re designing in, and explore history’s legacy on our work. We have a network of talented collaborators we invite into projects to scale our reach and impact. We can be as lean or as large of a team as needed to meet our strategic goals and our partners’ needs.

Design Thinking Exacerbates Power Asymmetries

It’s about being incredibly intentional about potential unintended consequences to a solution, and having protocols in place to reduce the risk of harm to those who are directly impacted by the outcomes of the design process. To kick off the new year, I interviewed Tania Anaissie, the Founder and CEO of the social justice design firm Beytna Design and the co-creator of a new form of design thinking called Liberatory Design. I was first drawn to Design Thinking as a design student in college.

“Beytna Design is the byproduct of my personal mission to design for equity.

In terms of additional design to improve racing, and give the car’s aesthetics a leaner and meaner feel, the GEN3 Evo will see a new aero package for the body. On top of AWD, Formula E has been working with official tire provider Hankook on a new all-weather iON tire set that provides 5-10% more grip. As part of Formula E’s sustainability initiative, the tires are made from 35% recycled and sustainable materials; a +9% increase compared to the current GEN3 spec. Named the GEN3 Evo car, it will be all-wheel drive and able to go 0-60 mph in 1.82 seconds, making it the fastest accelerating single-seat race car in the world.

If you have a question to ask or an idea to share, come and participate in Adobe InDesign Community. The Tortured Poets Department might be too long and clunky at times, but it’s an unflinchingly honest piece of work. Out-of-context screenshots of clumsy lyrics from Swift’s album quickly became memes, mocked by many social media users. While much of Swift’s star power comes from the parasocial relationship she has cultivated with her fanbase, The Tortured Poets Department pushes back against the excesses of the Swifties. The GEN3 Evo will come quickly off the heels of the current GEN3 design, but in speaking with Jeff Dodds, CEO of Formula E, COVID initially slowed down the rollout. With the pandemic no longer preventing development, the design trajectory is fully rolling out.

Join Beytna Design for an interactive workshop where you will define an equity challenge in your work and learn more about how the Liberatory Design process can help you find a path forward. You can design an experience, program, policy, system, product, or relationship. But if you are designing for equity, that means your end goal is to create greater equity. There is a sub field of design called “Design for Social Impact” but I would argue all design has social impact. Whether the impact is liberating or oppressive depends on our values and how we enact them.

Define invites us to co-develop a point of view about challenges and needs with the community. Together, we look for patterns and insights in stories that reveal the deeper needs of those closest to the challenge. When we’ve built a strategy and committed to mindsets, tools help us bring them to life through action. While the work of liberation is complex, there are some things we can start doing right away. We partner with mission-driven organizations seeking to center equity and reimagine how they operate in today’s world. We help you learn and apply design to take your equity efforts to the next level.

Cape Town was still haunted by the legacy of being the 2014 World Design Capital. Hundreds of designers, many White, flooded into townships to interview communities about their concerns and challenges, only to vanish after the half-day workshop and never return. It became so pervasive that community members could plan their days and meals around these workshops. This and the legacy of harmful research and “social impact” projects wielded by starry-eyed Westerners created mistrust amongst communities we encountered.

It became my outlet to explore design’s social change potential and its unresolved shortcomings. We advised the foundation team on the program structure to center community voice and equip leaders to create equitable change. We created custom Liberatory Design tools, presentations, activities, and coaching to complement the community organizing focus of the program.

Elizabeth was previously Project Manager at the Equal Justice Initiative, contributing to the creation of the Legacy Museum & the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, and was an Investment Analyst at the Emerson Collective. She is an experienced Theater of the Oppressed facilitator, community organizer and researcher. All current AMD Socket AM5 motherboards will support the new Ryzen 9000-series processors when they're released, but most will need a BIOS update in order to do so, unless they're bought nearer the time and ship with a compatible BIOS.

Design classes were a place where I could experiment and release expectations of perfection. My lived experiences as a daughter of war-fleeing immigrants and an Arab-American became assets in my design practice. My ability to code-switch, to empathize across cultures, and to look for solutions even in constrained environments allowed me to thrive.

As I was crafting my design politics, I was sent to Cape Town South Africa to offer a free Design Thinking training to our university’s students studying abroad and local learners who wished to sign up. The biggest shift is in who is considered a “designer.” We believe that in order to create equitable outcomes, you have to design equitably, and that means involving people most impacted by the problem in the decision-making. Traditional design thinking consults those impacted, but the design team still goes behind closed doors to make interpretations and decisions. We’re pushing towards co-design and community-led design, which means those most impacted are on the team, making decisions with you as you transform power together. Much of this grew out of my lived experiences with inequity growing up as an Arab-American in Arkansas.

We facilitated groups of over 100 youth in each city to lead their own Liberatory Design projects over 6 months. We cannot dismantle a system unless we understand how it was designed (intentionally and unintentionally). When designing in the U.S., that means understanding how the status quo came to be — one that devalues our human, plant, and animal siblings in order to keep power in the hands of a handful of elites.

Mindsets and Modes to design for equity

Lucy is a member of the Design Justice Network, Cafeteria Collective, Equity Army, and AIGA. We're getting more confirmations of AMD's highly-anticipated Ryzen 9000 processors, this time by motherboard manufacturer Gigabyte that let slip the new naming scheme in a recent BIOS release. Scheduled for Season 11 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in 2025, Formula E and the FIA developed the car. The design is a significant advancement from the current GEN3 car in terms of power, and aerodynamics marking a 36% increase in speed over GEN3 and acceleration 0-60mph that is 30% faster than a current F1 car. With 30+ designers covering residential and dynamic commercial projects across prime real estate in the United States, our multifaceted service offerings encompass every stage of the design journey. As chairman and founder of sfa design since 1996, Sue has led the firm to complete acclaimed projects in destinations throughout the United States, U.A.E, Asia, and Mexico.

Liberatory Design (and Redesign)

It is important to Sue to create a comfortable and meaningful environment that elevates someone’s personal style without overtaking it. The best way to engage a community is to authentically involve them, while remembering that no one owes us their trust or time, and the best we can do is design an invitation with respect and humility, and be willing to listen to their feedback. I basically reached a point where I was having a “crisis” about how design was practiced, and I felt a strong pull to re-examine the whole thing to imagine it as a force for equity. Without deep self and systems-awareness, we often reproduce the same systems of oppression regardless of our intent. With the Stanford Life Design Lab, we co-created a curriculum review framework to filter existing content through an intersectional equity lens and to guide the creation of new equity-grounded content in the future.

What Is Today’s Strands Hint?

For PBS Kids stations, we supported local station teams from across the nation to conduct needs assessments with an equity lens and design invitations to engage their local communities in partnership. We led a week of trainings, talks, and workshops to equip local education leaders in Amman, Jordan to leverage Liberatory Design to create systemic change. We led a three-day intensive training to equip their business leaders with Liberatory Design as a tool for “DEI” organizational change and focused on redesigning performance evaluations. NACC is the creator of a best practices recommendations document that guides youth attorneys serving clients in the child welfare system across the country. They sought to redesign this recommendations list to reflect current needs and increase cultural relevance by partnering with those with lived experience in the system.

Swift’s current boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce, seems to have inspired only two songs. There is little other information about the new processors yet, suggesting the launch is some months away, with most indications being sometime late in 2024. However, AMD's CEO Dr Lisa Su is to deliver the opening keynote at this year's Computex tradeshow in Taiwan - an even that many expect will see announcements about new AMD hardware including Ryzen 9000 processors. Milan may have been overflowing with crisp design, stylish designers, and creative installations during Milano Design Week recently. But I’m pretty sure no other installation got more attention, or was harder to pull off than what Azimut Yachts achieved when they moored a 57-foot-long Azimut Seadeck 6 in the swimming pool of the Bagni Misteriosi. Growing up in Malibu in the 1960’s, Sue spent the majority of her time immersed in nature, riding horses, hiking the Santa Monica Mountains, and getting lost in her thoughts amongst the tide-pools at Point Dune.

Liberatory Design helps us understand why and how an equity challenge exists, then design creative approaches to create more equitable outcomes. The Beytna Design team will present an overview of the Liberatory Design process, from reflection to inquiry to trying (and trying again). Another challenge of teaching design was the nature of project-based classes. While giving students real-life experience is deeply meaningful for their learning, it often is a source of harm for communities they step into. Built into the structure is a predetermined end date when students will drop the projects and have no responsibility beyond the duration of the course. It sets up a toxic working relationship and is like entering a relationship pre-determining you will break up in a month.

Think about ways to build trust with the community and learn from where they are, for example, Chris Rudd, a friend and amazing designer was working on a project related to shared public spaces in a neighborhood of Chicago. He wanted to involve folks living there in the synthesis of empathy interviews, so he set up a “synthesis station” with Post-Its in a shipping container to engage passersby and invite them to make sense of the learnings. He shared what his team was hearing and seeing and asked them to tell him what was relevant and important. This is about prioritizing the design’s impact on the community over the intentions of the designer.

If our goal is to support humanity, I argue that is social justice work. Sometimes the reaction I get is, “that makes sense for a project related to racism or something.” But the reality is it’s impossible for any project to be untouched by the intersecting racism, sexism, ableism, etc. In fact, it’s a myth White Supremacy Culture has invested in upholding. We designed and led an intensive training on how to practice co-design including our custom-designed Participatory Design Toolkit.

Together, we developed innovative ideas to support youth experiencing homelessness during the pandemic, families experiencing the benefits gap, and residents experiencing the digital divide. UWSL is a non-profit supporting networks to create scaled change to support half-a-million youth in Utah. To prototype, we build rough versions of what we’re working on to test key ideas. It can unleash our creative courage which will foster innovative approaches to address equity challenges. Seeing the System enables us to identify potential equity challenges, what about the system is producing these, and what we need to learn more about as we engage in empathy work.

Verde existed originally in his native New England primarily on the Island of Nantucket, where he lived for 20 years. A success as a design and build firm, it remains a strong presence. Drawn to California by the Pacific design aesthetic, natural beauty, and vibrant lifestyle, he excites in the possibilities. He has a strong background in zoning and participation on non-profit boards.

” This shift requires you to share power and act as an ally and/or facilitator. In the program, we occasionally heard from guest speakers who spoke about how design could be used for social good. I was so eager for more, but I was one of about four students in my class interested in Design Thinking for its social change potential. So with four peers, I co-founded our university’s Design for America chapter. This was a place where we could work on social change projects in the local community outside of class time.

I finish my painting and leave a bit early to make the Chris Holmes photo experience. I realise I have lost my ear plugs, they are pretty expensive and I don’t have spares except for cheap foam ones, so out of desperation I say to the crowd who are already there, has anyone seen any ear plugs. To my complete amazement one man says what colour are they?

‘Wish’: How The Cure’s Dreams Of A No. 1 Album Came True

On my way to the Hardcore Superstar Q and A I see Davy Vain by the lift, he is friendly and relaxed. It is surreal to see so many famous faces everywhere you go. HCSS are telling funny stories about how their worst show ever is in full on the Internet.

Creed Play First Concert in 12 Years: Photos, Video + Setlist

Gary Cherone is his usual charismatic self with Extreme on the Pool stage, really an exceptional front man in terms of his inventive antics. If we had only known how lucky we were (keep reading). They play the classics, but include material from the excellent new album as well, first time I have seen any of the new tracks live. They still find time to half joke after they play a new track “now we will play something you know, and something we know” and when they see Jimmy Chalfant the drummer from Kix in the audience  “everything I learned I learned from Kix”. It was funny to hear the crowd singing more than words, it’s all high register girls, the band has to smile.

MY DYING BRIDE: 'A Profound Sense Of Discontent Among The Bandmembers' Led To Concert Cancelations

I am amazed and tell both stories to everyone I see for the next couple of days. The first port stop on Monsters Of Rock Cruise 2023 is the breath-taking beauty that is Puerto Plata. The city offers a lively pier (known as the Malecon),colorful shops, and opulent homes from the 1800s.

I find out from the horse’s mouth that the show will go ahead instead on another day. An experience I will never forget and I have only been on the cruise an hour or two. Next up is the Private Isle of Labadee, the ultimate private destination for cruisers, offering adventure, exploration and relaxation amongst its many bars and pristine waters.

The five-day/five-night full-ship music charter will set sail April 29– May 4 aboard Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas and depart out of Port Canaveral, Florida. Furthermore, the cruise will host themed nights, opportunities to dine with selected bands, and artist photo experiences. The first port stop on MORC ’23 is the breath-taking beauty that is Puerto Plata.

That album featured the acoustic ballad single "More Than Words", which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. The public on-sale kicks off today (6/30), with cabins starting at $1,699.00 per person (double occupancy, not including mandatory taxes and fee supplement). For more info and booking, visit MonstersOfRockCruise.com and follow @MonstersOfRockCruise on Facebook and Instagram, and @MonstersCruise on Twitter. I manage to catch Hardcore Superstar in the theatre.

With a myriad of events, activities, and music to keep fans entertained day and night, MORC ’23 promises to be a fantasy camp, personal paradise, and the vacation of a lifetime for hard-rockin’ music enthusiasts.

They talk about how surreal it is to have major stars like Slash in their dressing room at events like Sweden Rock. Official cruise host Eddie Trunk (VH1, SiriusXM) will be moderating Q&As and activities specifically designed to bring the party up a notch. As for the Private Isle of Labadee, cruise-goers can partake in its many bars and pristine waters. In addition, there are plenty of exciting options to choose from, including wave jet rides, parasailing, snorkel safaris, kayak tours and much more. The lineup for the 2023 Monsters of Rock Cruise has been announced, featuring ’80s hard rock and metal acts like Tesla, Queensrÿche, Winger, and Extreme, along with newer outfits like Mac Sabbath (the McDonald’s-themed Black Sabbath cover band), Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown, and more. Lee Aaron is in the theatre and she is running around like a teenager, totally rocking the place.

Another amazing band with amazing songs, very nostalgic as they performed under pictures of the band as younger men. The ship has reached the Dominican Republic where I have never been, so I make a point of getting off the ship. On my way back I see Hessu from Reckless love and Jacob Bunton also wandering out to take a look. My first stop is Michael Schenker doing a mixture of his solo albums and the biggest UFO hits.

They deliver impressive versions of WASP classics like ‘Love Machine’ but I cannot stay out for the whole set. Bassist Lex Gifford was forced to rip the sleeves off one of his favourite shirts to avoid sunstroke and, as he did not have an alternative to jeans, he was nearly fainting (he didn’t in the end). At this point I haven’t really eaten much for 24 hours, I always lose weight on the cruise!! I hot foot it to see Spike who dedicated ‘Have A Drink’ to Guy Bailey who recently passed. Spike is telling funny stories about getting pissed on a plane with Bono from U2’s mum. To finish he does ‘I Don’t Love You Anymore’ and ‘7 O’clock’.

A leader in cruise charter innovation, Monsters Of Rock Cruise has sailed over 30,000 passengers in the last ten years. The principals of Monsters Of Rock Cruise have deep roots in the music industry, providing world-class cruise ship production management for celebrities and musical artists for decades. Monsters Of Rock Cruise has set the industry standard for themed music cruises and fan experiences and has played a key role in the development of ground-breaking theme cruise concepts. Get a full rundown of what's available to do at this location.

I am glad I caught the whole of both of their sets as they announce they won’t be on the Cruise next year. Boarding the ship check, Internet arranged check, hand luggage dropped off, I jump right in with a concert from Vain who did everything he could to engage the audience. Unfortunately some people are still getting on the ship, but he does not let that spoil a thing for those that make it. Paul Taylor from Winger joined as a special guest as apparently he was in high school with Davy, who knew that!!

Stephen Pearcy was looking sharp again at his Pool show in top to toe black leather emblazoned with ‘Break Your Heart’. It is such a buzz to see yet more of my favourite rock songs ‘You’re In Love’  and ‘Round and Round’, to name but two, still being played superbly live. Someone has turned up in a giant inflatable lady costume with truly enormous breasts. Stephen christened him ‘two tits’ and the crowd appropriately … well …titter. The Cruel Intentions are one of the younger bands on the boat and they totally attack their set.

Monsters Of Rock Cruise 2023

Even though their first show also kicked ass, and I was so happy to hear some of the songs from their great, new “Digital Noise Alliance” album, their second legacy setlist show was a Ryche’s fan wet dream. As soon as Jocke hit the stage with stomping feet, pumping fists and a snarl fit for an insane asylum, it was on! A sleepy crowd that had waited “mostly” patiently for this late starting show were immediately shocked back into life. What a voice this dude has, hitting every ridiculous, sleaze-laden screech.

Tesla To Return To Mandalay Bay Resort And Casino For “The Las Vegas Takeover”

I stay back to offer my condolences as I haven’t seen him properly since Guy died. I saw Tyketto in Studio B. They are making the absolute best of the fact that with the Pool stage down they have no competition and the show is super full. They sound fantastic, Danny still has a voice like a siren, pure and clear and they are dynamic and exciting to watch. I am surprised to learn that Chris the guitarist and Michael the drummer are leaving the band, but it must have been good for them to go out on a high with their Cruise shows.

Monsters Of Rock Cruise

Along with the music, additional activities include Q&A sessions, Gong Show Karaoke, “So You Think You Can Shred,” Cooking with Rock Stars, Painting With Rock Stars, Rock Stars vs Average Joe’s Basketball, and more. Radio personality Eddie Trunk will serve as the official cruise host. It’s Winger on the Pool deck and, reminding everyone of the rich heritage of the band, they do their medley including Alice Cooper, Starship, Journey, Cinderella, Dokken and Whitesnake songs, reflecting all the major bands their members have been part of over the years. I make it to the Lee Aaron photo experience and it is lovely to see her looking stunning in a red leather jacket. I manage to shoot the Chris Holmes show on the Pool Stage.

Vacationers can amp up the adrenaline on the Dragon’s Tail Coaster, a thrilling 30-mile-per-hour ride with incredible views of the island. For more action, adventurous passengers may choose to strap on a helmet and harness and soar 500-feet down on the Dragon’s Breath Flight Line, the world’s longest zip line over water. In addition, there are plenty of exciting options to choose from, including wave jet rides, parasailing, snorkel safaris, kayak tours, and much more. Consider booking a Barefoot Beach Cabana, which has several types of cabanas with privacy options, or being close to the action, there is sure to be something for everyone.

I lost them at the Stephen Pearcy show and I have been out of the theatre and so has everyone else since, the ear plugs are tiny and hundreds of people have trooped in and out (as they clear the theatre after every show while the next bands gets ready). Apparently Stephen Pearcy flicked a towel, it must have caught the jelly string in my earphones and whipped them out (I had felt nothing) they had gone over my head to the man behind me who had thought they were Stephen Pearcy’s so had kept them. Not only that the man who had caught the ear plugs was a creature of habit and had gone back to the very same spot.

I started my day with paint class with Adrian Vandenberg. We are meant to be painting Slash, but Adrian goes off freestyle and paints a Pierrot face. I finally get a chance to have time for a good breakfast after not having time to eat properly over the last few days. It seems for me rock music will always win over food, not that I don’t love my food, but it still cannot compete with a line up like this.

The 2022 Monsters on the Mountain festival will take place August 19th-21st at The Gatlinburg Convention Center in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. The second Kix show is on the Pool Deck but at least it has cooled down. They ring the changes and this time ‘Red Lite, Green Lite’, ‘Scarlet Fever’ ‘Cold Shower’ and ‘Love Me With Your Top Down’ make it into the set.

The Monsters of Rock Cruise will be in its eleventh year, setting sail on April 29 aboard the Royal Caribbean's Mariner of the Seas, departing out of Port Canaveral, Florida. The voyage will include two days at sea filled with musical performances along with stops at two ports - Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic and the Private Isle of Labadee - before returning to Florida to complete the cruise on May 4. My day starts early with photo experiences with Doro, Wig Wam, Extreme, Vandenberg and Hardcore Superstar. It’s lovely to see all the bands in good humour and while it may not be as exciting for them as for the Cruisers, you would never know. Haven’t even bought a Winger album and may not do so.

Jimmy the drummer has totally cut off all his hair, from down to his ass to a crew cut. He is totally getting away with being in the wind as a result. A totally enjoyable set includes one of my favourite rock songs ever ’It’s Not Love’.

There were a few technical difficulties, but it was hit after hit from the first album and he gave the crowd what they wanted from first to last. The Monsters of Rock Cruise is a major date in my diary, the only holiday abroad I maintained during the Pandemic. Adding to the excitement this year the weather was dangerous… but worth the risk ..(yes Stephen Pearcy was on board and stayed the entire time this year). Plush, Dan Reed Network, Little Angels (Reunion) or Wayward Sons or Toby Jepson solo, Magnum, Those Damn Crows, Tuk Smith and the Restless Hearts, The Pat McManus Band (Former Mama’s Boys guitarist), The Struts, Metal Church and bring back Thunder.

Hilariously, he has obviously been drinking for the whole Cruise, but like a true Rockstar it totally does not affect the quality of his performance. This means his set totally overruns, although only the sound engineer seems to mind (as he is supposed to get to another show on his schedule). With characteristic humour Spike also says he hasn’t seen any Rockstars on the Cruise “where are they? ” And claims someone else has been going round the ship pretending to be him, someone completely drunk, said with mock outrage.

Guests wishing to disembark the vessel on their device must be able to safely navigate the angle of the gangway while the ship is docked in port. Additionally, if the ship is calling on a water shuttle port, the captain will make a determination as to whether guests may disembark with their device, given prevailing maritime conditions and water shuttle limitations. Guests wishing to disembark the vessel on their device must also be able to safely navigate the angle of the gangway while the ship is docked in port. The ship does not carry a nephrologist onboard and timely availability ofthis specialty may be severely limited during the port visits.

At time of booking, guests will be able to confirm their preferred dining choice. If their preference is not available, they may confirm an alternate time and be waitlisted for their preferred choice - there is no guarantee a waitlist will clear. When possible, waitlists will be cleared prior to the sailing and guests will be notified by email. Parties traveling together who are waitlisted together will be cleared on the same dining time.Cross-referencing bookings does not guarantee parties will be eating together. Carnival does not provide one-on-one attention, but the parent or assigned helper may stay and participate in the activities with the child. Parents of children who are unable to feed themselves should remain with the child during meal times.

If you choose to bring your own personal supply of oxygen, you must hand- carry it with you. Packing oxygen cylinders and/or tanks in your checked luggage is strictly prohibited, as is putting them through security x-ray machines. Please hand-carry your oxygen machines (BiPAP, CPAP, Concentrator, Nebulizer, etc.) and not place them in your checked luggage. In order to participate in Carnival youth program activities, the parent or guardian will need to register their child for the program. When registering the child, the staff will work with the parents to determine what special assistance will help aid the youth staff in how to best serve the child while participating in the activities. Parents may choose to have their child move down one age group as an accommodation to a disability.

Please notify us in advance should you need an alert system for your stateroom. Emotional support dogs, which are not recognized by the US Department of Justice, are also not permitted on Carnival ships. Personal wheelchair push assistance service is not provided while on board or in ports of call. Mobility devices cannot be left unattended in any venue area unless the guest is temporarily away attending an event, and the device is parked in an area that allows all guests safe exit from the venue. When in public areas, guests must maintain their device clear of any exits or fire doors and ensure it does not obstruct any fire or safety equipment.

Facilities, services and accessibility across ports of call vary significantly and accessibility may not be available for shore excursions or in certain ports of call due to limited infrastructure and other factors. We want our guests with mobility limitations to be able to enjoy their time ashore, and where possible, we will do our best to secure accessible tours, but options may be limited or non-existent altogether. Facilities, services and transportation equipment outside the United States may not be required to be ADA compliant. Carnival is not responsible for accessibility in foreign ports of call or for restrictions imposed by shore excursion providers that are not owned by Carnival. Additionally, numerous factors including weather, tidal conditions, and other safety concerns can impact the ability for an accessible tour to be safely operated. In the event an accessible tour is deemed unsafe to operate in full or for an individual guest, a full refund for the tour will be extended.

Safety restrictions prohibit crew from carrying individuals on or off water shuttles. All guests must complete their Online Check-in process no later than midnight (Eastern time) prior to their sailing date. During online check-in, you will be asked to select an arrival appointment. Due to security protocol, last minute bookings made within 24 hours of sailing will require guests to undergo a secondary screening. Due to safety considerations, mobility devices cannot be stored in corridors or public areas. Guests may be required to have their scooters sized at the time of check-in to ensure it fits in the stateroom.
