QUICK PROMPTS
Keep the plan simple.
Useful things to think through before the route gets busy.
Keep checking in
A short message or a quick look around can go a long way in a crowd.
Listen when someone speaks up
Take discomfort, worry, or a change of plan seriously.
Know when to get help
Reach out to trained support when a situation needs more than the group can offer.
WHY THIS MATTERS
The best Carnival memories have room for each other.
Crowds, music, travel, and long routes can make it easy to lose track of how someone is doing. A shared plan helps your crew stay connected without killing the vibe.

WHAT TO DO
Keep it clear. Keep it practical.
- Choose a meeting point that everyone can find if phones lose signal or batteries run low.
- Share key information with each other before heading out, including how to get home.
- Take a concern seriously and slow down when someone asks for a pause.
- Ask trained event staff for support when a situation is beyond the group’s comfort or ability.
WHEN TO GET HELP
Ask for support when the moment needs more.
Get support right away if someone is missing and at risk, appears distressed or unsafe, is unable to make decisions, or a situation could turn serious.
- A person is missing and may be at risk
- Distress, harassment, or safety concerns
- A person cannot make safe decisions
- Any immediate danger
