Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I learned that, for sure, after my first cruise! I laugh when I think about what our room steward thought of all my shoes lined up. 😂 sooo ridiculous!! That would be second elegant night so I’m going with that unless I read differently! Our “costumes” will be fine for it since we are doing the 1920’s theme (think Gatsby).
  2. I am trying to lighten up my packing! I’m hoping someone that has been on a 6 night cruise in OCTOBER will be able to tell me which night was the costume night? I’m hoping it is second elegant night so I can avoid having to pack two nice dresses…
  3. Thank you guys for your responses! I used the "chat" option since I am busy at work, and the nice rep just resent the email to me. She doesn't know why it never arrived. I checked all my folders, even. At least it was a quick fix, and it didn't took much time out of my day (as opposed to my last phone call with Carnival).
  4. I bought a $100 gift card on the 11th and haven’t received an email with the number yet. Anyone else had that happen? I’m hoping that calling AARP today will take care of it. I’ve never had this happen, and I’ve bought multiple cards in the past.
  5. Thank you, everyone! I will hang on to it until I board, then.
  6. Can you add a digital / virtual gift card to your account when you are at the port getting checked in? I can always use it to pay down a current cruise I have booked, but I was also hoping to use it as OBC.
  7. We are in that cabin on the Horizon this fall ☺️
  8. Excellent review! Thank you for taking the time. I’m hoping to try Excel class within the next couple years. Unfortunately (not truly unfortunate), we already have four booked on other ships
  9. Enjoy reading reviews from cruisers who usually cruise other lines. Thank you for doing this!
  10. Great writing! Very easy to read, straight to the point! Did you notice if the Serenity deck was just as crowded/busy during the day?
  11. We usually cruise in balcony cabins too, and our first interior will be on this fall's Horizon cruise in the Havana area. I figured the best way to try out an interior room is on a Vista class ship in the Havana area since there is a wonderful area to relax in just "down the hall" from our room.
  12. This is just my opinion, but I feel like Mr Sanchos is for the 20 - 30 somethings, Paradise is for families, and Nachi is for couples.
  13. I am not a fan of Jamaica either. We were probably just going to stay on ship at that stop. I'm actually very surprised with your response! Especially since you had a balcony on Celebration. I try very hard to not take a cruise for specific ports as I know that can happen. We love being on the ship enough that we are ok if we just cruise around the ocean for 7 days. Wow! I did not expect the replies to be so strong on one side. I WISH I could edit my original post to say that we are going on the Jubilee in October of 2024. It is doing the Western itinerary, but it will be the most "shiny, new ship" that Carnival will have to offer.
  14. Quite a bit more, and I don’t see how it’d be worth it. The Havana area on these class of ships is nothing like the Havana area on the Horizon (or the other two Vista class ships).
  15. I can NOT decide which cruise to go with. I could really use other cruisers advice. Little about us to help decide…We are laid back and easy going. We rarely find anything to complain about and we are just as happy being on a ship that goes “nowhere” as we would be going on a ship that makes “magical stops”. I’ve cruised more than my dh, but either ship/class will be new to us. This will be our first cruise trying an inside stateroom🤞🏻, but we’ve tried balconies, cove balconies, and ocean views. We LOVE visiting beaches or exploring on our own (i.e. renting a golf cart, etc) We live far enough away we have to fly. Both leave out of Miami. We will be on the Horizon in two years for an 8-day southern Caribbean cruise. Unless we absolutely hate it, we are planning the same kind of stateroom. Cruise 1 Horizon 6 Day = Inside Havana Stateroom Jamaica = Been there 1x. We ziplined. Grand Cayman = Been there 1x. Lovely beach day. Cozumel = Been here a couple times. We love Cozumel. Went to Paradise both times although we want to try Nachi on our next visit. Cruise 2 Celebration 7 Day = Inside Stateroom Amber Cove = Never been. Have an upcoming family cruise stopping here April ‘24. San Juan = Never been. St. Maarten = Never been. The Celebration cruise IS one more day and $100 more but does not have the “private” beautiful Havana area.
