CARNIVAL TIPS FOR CURVY MASQUERADERS & ANYONE GOING TO CARNIVAL FOR THE FIRST TIME
You don’t need a passport, if you take a cruise; an enhanced license is sufficient!
Brightline sucks. Late running trains, skyrocketing fares, numerous fatalities, rude employees and customer service which doesn't give a damn. I rode Brightline once. Never again. Seems to be run by millennials.
Nice-Georgetown SC
Proud Antiguan here!!! 🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬 Thank you so much for uploading this!! I will also be playing mas with Insane for Antigua Carnival 2024 and this is my first time playing! ❤❤
Beautiful
Very helpful thank you! I was so confused at the last part because it wouldn’t let me select the same day twice for a day trip.
Worst trip I've taken so far
Listen, they just randomly keep coming I can’t keep up 😂
Haha right!
Is the water park free if you payed for the resort?
Yes
Omg 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤👋🏿💎
2nd one
I dont understand why its cost 400 to 1000. thats to much man
I'm so happy I brought a sewing kit to Trinidad 24! My costume did not fit at all. I had to cut and sew and reglue.
Yes a sewing kit is a must. So many things can happen with costume distribution so def helps to be prepared.
What airlines? Because Florida doesn't make anything easy at all
I went on Bahamas Air from Trinidad and then Jet Blue from THE Bahamas back to Fort Lauderdale
@@Bahamianista 🥰 Thank you so much.
Abe bikini😂😂😂😂
I could never but this is fascinating and beautiful
this looks like St.Kitts
It is
I'm literally never going to wear anything this revealing myself but I love the idea of stitching your bottoms to your stockings. I *will* find a way to use this in my day to day wardrobe somehow. 😅
Love it, very helpful
If you live in a humid environment where you can drink the air, how do you stop it from coming off on your clothes and skin?
Unfortunately dry or wet it will get on your clothes - it has to properly dry though - maybe try drying under a dryer
How I only 19 will I be able to play mas in the united states?
Depends on the band- you’d have to ask them what their age cut off is
Eow ❤, got the sauce ,!!
Hey hun I just came across your content I was just telling someone that I wanted to do the carnival and Nassau in 2025 cuz it's been a few years since I've been back so do you have any shop costume
The bands don’t launch costumes until closer to the date but here’s an updated guide on what to expect: bahamianista.com/bahamas-carnival-2025-a-complete-guide-to-mas-in-paradise/
I’m a 19-year-old Bahamian, and I want to go to Trinidad Carnival because I have always wanted to do it. Would you recommend me taking the risk of going alone and just being very aware of my surroundings because I really don't have anyone to go with, but then again, I really want to experience Trinidad Carnival.
For first timers and at your age- I’d recommend going with a friend or finding a concierge service so you have ppl who know of your whereabouts while there and that you can contact in case of an emergency
You are literally so freaking pretty! Like hello?!?
Oh thank you!
How do i participate in this
Depends on which carnival you want to go to. There's several happening throughout the year.
@@Bahamianista I’m thinking Miami or Mexico i believe like how do you become part of the parade and dress up and stuff
@@meshacole1421I have a whole guide on how to attend Miami Carnival here: bahamianista.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-miami-carnival-2024/ Now is the perfect time to start planning. I haven’t been to any carnivals in Mexico or any of their festivities so can’t offer any tips regarding that
This is so helpful! I have short locs and love the curly look!
Glad it was helpful!
Wowww 🤯🤯🤯
So when you gotta go to the bathroom you just... Rip the stitches apart (?) Genuinely asking
No you just pull the bottoms up and down like you would pants - some costume bottoms tie at the waist or around the neck
@@Bahamianista ahhh aight that makes sense, thankss
Carribean Carnival is amazing and the outfits are gorgeous, but I can no longer attend due to the amount of (drunk) men who just follow & violently grind on women out of nowhere.
Love the Antigua promotion! See you soon!
See you there!
Beautiful! ♥️
Thank you! Cheers!
Insane 🎉🥳
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I LOVE GRENADA MY COUNTRY ❤🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩🇬🇩
You can inform me in your country information
Hello madam I'm interested in your country in bahama visit
Check out my website: www.bahamianista.com
How do you use the bathroom if the stockings are sewn to the bottoms? I was thinking of sewing mine, but not sure
The costume bottoms are usually tied around the neck or just sit on the waist so depending on the option you choose you can just pull them up and down like you would pants/underwear
She is RIGHT you will need a passport for the Balearia Ferry this is not a cruise ship! Reading is fundamental, geesh!
thank you! Plus Google is FREE and it says so on Balearia's website. But I appreciate your comment!
Are you doing bahamas carnival?
No unfortunately I have to skip it this year
Im having trouble figuring out if it's ok to create your own costume. I don't want to inadvertently go against the rules.
So if you create your own costume - you won’t be able to join a band as it’s a cultural competition that has several aspects such as judging points / fenced off areas for masqueraders only Also the masqueraders in the band have paid for their designated costumes and the all inclusive road experience that the band provides such as drinks, food, music and also security to keep non masqueraders out - which is a a way for the troupes/bands to keep this tradition going in an organized way- they need to be funded to do it because costumes, trucks, DJs, food/drinks cost money You can create your own costume and wear it if you want (and stay on the sidelines)but most times ppl do this in hopes to join a band without paying for registration so you would be doing this at your own discretion and knowing that if you try to jump in a band it’s a strong possibility to be ejected by the band’s security Hope that helps.
The bands also offer one day packages as well if you just want to do the one day and not the full on costume
@@Bahamianista Thank you, this helps a lot!
@Bahamianista I am looking at the Insane Carnival page & have a question regarding the categories. If my friends and I purchase from the different categories, does that make a difference? For example, if I purchased a 2 piece from the Eclectic category and my friend purchases hers from the Whimsical category. Would that mean we would be in separate groups?
@@aprilforbes1441 Hi April, good question. So I'll preface with the fact that the costume parade falls on Emancipation day and is 2 days of consecutive parades (outside of t-shirt mas that is held the last Saturday of July). With that being said, Carnival Monday (when you wear the Monday wear or your own custom Monday wear) you both can stay together the entire parade. Carnival Tuesday (when you wear the full costume), there are parts of the parade where each section has to line up for judging which happens give or take a few times during the parade on Tuesday but you are allowed to mix/find each other and stay together once you pass the judging points which is for the majority of the parade. The bands will announce when to "get into your sections" so if you do choose different sections (Eclectic or Whimsical) you'll have to separate until judging in that portion of the parade is over. I advise finding a spot to meet up after judging points; for example meet each other at the back of the drinks truck or the left side of truck number one or someone carries a hand held flag they can wave in case you can't find each other to serve as a signal. Long answer lol but hope it helps with your decision.
Great video. I love how detailed you were and how highly you spoke on Antigua's carnival.
Thanks so much! And yes one of my favorites I’ve been to plus there’s so much to do and Antiguans are so friendly

Also where you close to POS?
What hotel did you stay at? And when did you book it?
Cascadia Hotel- I didn’t book the hotel - I just stayed with my friends who booked it. You should be trying to book accommodations now
This product cured my blemishes completely!!! :) definitely give it a try you will not regret it
❤❤❤❤
❤❤ too excited to book!
2 days??? I would've just curled them with the foam and leave in conditioner...
My grandma is from here, so it's really cool to learn a few things and pick my interest into visiting and looking up my history
Educulture Junkanoo Museum is a great way to start!
Great video very informative. Thank you. I’ll check it out for sure !
