He can just come and go as he pleases, but highly recommend that he attend the meet and greet on night 1. That's when this age group tends to meet up with their "friends" for the week and then they just kind of hang out all over.

I've participated a few times. A couple of times we did Goo Goo Clusters candy (we're from Nashville where they are from), though, this one could be iffy due to allergies as they contain nuts. We also once did custom tea-lights with the ship name and date with battery operated candles. These were from Oriental Trading and I really did it because I had a good coupon. Otherwise they probably would have been a little over budget.

This thread has certainly taken a turn from the original question of "is the seafood shack worth it" lol.. Personally, I enjoy it, but I don't get it every time. The lobster roll with butter is great though and I don't think the price is too bad.

Dang! I'm on one of these cruises on a casino offer and I thought I had gotten a good deal. Nowhere near that good lol.

I agree. I'd be surprised if it was open by the end of May as speculated. I'm sailing out of Baltimore in August and assuming it will be open by then, but I'm also not worried if it isn't. I can easily change my flights (Southwest) and I have a refundable hotel. I am wondering if I should book a backup refundable hotel in Norfolk though just in case.

With Early Saver, the rate is reduced if before paid in full and given as OBC after. But, to your point, I don't know that the rules are the same in Europe. I would call and ask for sure.

It won't go on sale, but even if it *did* you could simply cancel your order and rebuy it.

Finally someone else who is fine with the house wine. After being on these boards for a while, I really started questioning my taste as everyone talks about how awful it is lol.

14 nights should have 3 elegant nights. They don't post anything in the app before the cruise, but you can usually find sample 14 day menus that other people have posted to give you an idea.

If it's just you and your daughter, you don't really need the pullman OR the sofa bed. You can just split the king into 2 twins. (Assuming you do not book one of the rooms that are bunk only.)

All cruises charge tax on drinks until international waters. There is a reason Carnival doesn't offer Cheers day 1 from these ports while other cruise lines do, but I don't think it's necessarily taxes. (Not saying it isn't either.)

And I actually think it is *more* worth it because you can pay for 1 less day (and I can wait until day 2 to drink). Maybe I'm just cheap lol.

I'm on the August 18 Greenland cruise, but I'm just going to wait and see. I have Southwest flights and a refundable hotel so I can easily pivot to Norfolk if needed.

It's a repositioning cruise from Tampa to Baltimore (as of now).

The biggest reason is actually to avoid the holds that Carnival puts on the card. For a credit card, that's not a big deal. For a debit card, it can be a pretty big inconvenience waiting for those holds to drop off since it ties up your actual money.
