Ship to shore – always secure

Ship to shore – always secure is an ongoing priority.  To help us protect our Guests, ourselves and Carnival UK even more, why not make a New Years resolution, to update your passwords every month!  Just add a reminder to your diary and you’re on your way to keeping secure.

If you use a Carnival UK account or application – for example Outlook, The Cove, Carnival Global Financial Services (CGFS), The Insider etc – updating your password is a simple and effective way to stay  Ship to shore – always secure.  

Here’s how you can create a strong password:

• Don’t use easily guessed words such as anything associated with;

1. Your log in name
2. The brands
3. Product names
4. Locations
5. Carnival House address
6. Anything with A,B,C,D,E or 1,2,3,4,5 etc.
7. Password

• Never store your password where it’s easy for others to find – for example on a post it note stuck to your device.

• Make sure it’s eight or more characters long and include characters from three of the following four categories: 
  1. 1. 1. Uppercase characters A-Z (Latin alphabet)
        2. Lowercase characters a-z (Latin alphabet)
        3. Digits 0-9
        4. Special characters (! $, #, %, etc.)

However don’t stop there! A strong password has more characters and is not easily guessed, and so 1BaconAndEggSandwich! is easier to remember and more secure than Oct0b3r20. Also make sure that you don’t re-use your password for any other logins, either for work or personal use. Sometimes websites get breached and those passwords get re-used by hackers trying their luck.
