If you register and do not have a cabin mate, Ebony Pyramid will pair you with another guest that does not have a cabin mate. EPE will attempt to pair you with someone of the same sex, but if it is not possible, you may be paired with someone of the opposite sex. If you register after the booking has been completed, you must attempt to find your own cabin mate as it becomes more difficult, but not impossible, at this time.

Ebony Pyramid Entertainment is not responsible and should not be held responsible to ensure that a guest-chosen room/cabin mate(s) makes their payments or meets other obligations. If guest’s room/cabin mate(s) fails to make all payments and is cancelled, guests will not and cannot hold EPE liable. If a cabin mate(s) has not registered and paid with their selected cabin mate, EPE has the right to assign cabin mate(s) to fulfill the cabin’s initial request. EPE may assign a replacement cabin mate at random. This does not guarantee that the selection will be of the same sex. EPE is bound by an agreement with Carnival Cruise Lines (CCL) to fill the cabins with the initial request of the registrant. If a guest does not like the arrangement of being paired at random, they may request a cancellation, but cancellation procedures will apply. If the guest does not choose a cabin mate(s) at the time of the registration, EPE is authorized to assign the guest a cabin mate(s). If after a guest has been randomly paired with a cabin mate and the guest later identifies a cabin mate of their choice, the guest must pay a fee to change the listing to add the cabin mate of choice. These options may not be available within 30 days of the sailing.

It is recommended that guests arrive to Miami at least the day prior to the cruise to avoid potential flight delays that could cause you to miss the ship's departure. It is for this reason EPE created the Pre-Cruise with activities.

If you are flying into Miami or Ft. Lauderdale for the Pre-Cruise, we recommend you take an Uber, Lyft, taxi, or car service to the host hotel. If you are arriving on the day of the cruise,, check the airport information desk or look for Carnival Cruise Lines agents directing you to the CCL Shuttle Buses. If there is no agent, then you will need to take an Uber, Lyft, taxi, or car service directly to the port. If you are driving in on the day(s) of the Pre-Cruise, go to the hotel and pay for parking. If it is the day of cruise departure, go to the port and park in the garage.

Casual attire is usually the order of the day, both onboard and ashore. For dinner onboard the ship, it's recommended you have a dark suit for formal attire. Also, pack your wardrobe based on the themes of EPE.

Guests may be able to purchase transfers on the ship to carry them from the Port of Miami after the cruise to the Miami International Airport (MIA) or Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL). If you are staying local, you can take a taxi, Uber, Lyft, or car service to points within Miami.
