We are cruising over Easter break with kids. I've been noticing on my FB pages for that cruise that there are A LOT of kids cruising. Is there a max. capacity for Camp Carnival? If so, how does that work? How do they decide who goes and who doesn't get to attend?

FYI: I tried to use my Diamond upgrade and was told it can not be combined with a free room from the casino.

Do you remember who you booked from? Would love a pick up at the port!

So just providing an update: My best friend and family were there last week (11 of them). They showed up at PB and were told they could not do the ala carte option. They had to pay for the AI plus the fun pass for the kids.

I had the same question. We've been to PB over a dozen times and have done both AI and ala carte. I've read a few recent reviews from March that said that they were told they had to buy the AI option. There is no way I am paying $41 each for my 6 year old and 8 year old. That price doesn't include the water toys either. I think the better option would be Playa Mia which is a shame because we love PB!

This is the beach the locals refer to as "Public Beach". It's located where the old Calico Jacks used to be.

Hi. We cruise frequently and always fly into FLL when we cruise out of Miami. This time however, we will have 3 kids (6,8,and 14) with us. I am thinking about taking the tri-rail. We are staying at the Comfort Inn and Suites in Brickell (100 SE 4th Street, Miami). My question is our flight is scheduled to land at 2:05pm. Would we have time to get luggage, take bus to train station, and buy tickets for a 3:03pm train? Also, where do you put the luggage? Would we get off at Hialeah Market or MIA? I looked and the Uber XL prices are double the price if we go to MIA. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I've been to Grand Cayman a bunch of times and usually take the public bus (van) to get around. It's $2.50pp. You can pick it up right across the street from the port and about a 2 blocks in. Any local will point you in the right direction. They drop you off right at the park. The water is crystal clear and the sand is soft (no rocks in water). There are several vendors selling chairs and umbrellas. You can bargain with them. They started with $30 for us and I said no and kept walking. He followed me and we ended up getting him down to $20 for 2 chairs and an umbrella. We did not buy any food from the locals. The bathrooms were clean. When you're ready to go the bus stop is right across the road. You can't miss it. Buses run continuously all day. Again $2.50 for ride back to port.

Hi has anyone that has done this excursion recently tell me if there are lockers for rent to store your stuff? I've seen only one person say that there are now lockers so I'm looking for further confirmation. Thanks!

We did the pasta making class on the Mardi Gras and the Tailgating class on the Celebration. Absolutely loved them both. The classes were about 2 hours including the time they give you to eat your creations. We made pretzel bites, spicy chicken bites and empanadas for tailgating. Everything was delicious!

That was the perfect way to explain the Carnival brand seltzers. I tried them in December and didn't like them at all! I'll stick with the Truly!

We cruise about 4x a year and bring on 12-packs every cruise. Haven't had any port security check our 12 packs in many years nor have I seen them break anyone else's open.

Can you explain how the Club Ocean works for dinner times? We want to book the earliest Teppenyaki seating but it looks like the club is closed between 5-7pm. But then I also read that they do kids dining in the buffet and its available every day. Do you know if they go with the club to dinner will they take them back to the club after. I'm really confused about this!

Thank you!

Does the Drinks on Us everywhere on the ship also include non-alcoholic drinks, coffees, and milkshakes like the Cheers program does?
