It does have the heated tile chairs, the fancy steam rooms (lanconium, etc), just not the pool, which to me is the best part LOL. I'm hoping all the full spa passes don't sell out on my Oct cruise so I can buy a one-day pass onboard to go relax on the time chairs, though.

If it matters, the Cloud 9 on Sunshine does not have the thasallotherapy (sp?) pool. I had been looking to book a spa room on Sunshine until I found that out.

Are the bottles at the bars already cold? If so, I'll get mine there. Haven't cruised since they changed it up.

The pdf worked for me. It says unavailable here in the thread, but I clicked on it, and it opened is a separate window on my laptop. Do they offer samples of those jelly beans? I love key lime pie. I hate jelly beans normally, but I would give key lime ones a go if I could try before buying. EDIT: whoops, I didn't notice the date on the funtimes pdf. Guess it's not exactly correct. 🙂

Could be the big increase in demand w/ the COVID testing changes. I saw a story earlier this week saying demand triples when that was announced.

I know Sunshine and Freedom don;t have aft suites. I believe it's only the newest ships (Mardi Gras, Celebration, Jubilee?) that have them. Panorama has Havana, Family Harbor, etc that have suites, but I can't get the deck plan to open on my laptop to see if any are aft.

Hopefully doing an Oct trip out of CHS. Sister has a casino offer, and we originally going to do Port Canaveral, but if we do CHS, no need to drive down the day before and pay for a hotel. Freedom cruise is a tiny bit cheaper (around $50?), but we picked CHS. Drive to our condo in Little River, SC Sat AM then head to CHS early Monday morning (2.5 hr or so drive). Never been to CHS before, so we can do a little sightseeing when we get back Sat AM then head back to Little River late afternoon. First cruise since Alaska in June 2018. First Carnival cruise since Feb 2016!

Thanks. I'll give it a look-see to see if I can figure it out, not tech savvy :).

Haven't cruised since pre-covid, so not sure how this all works. If we're driving to port (Charleston), do we use this Verifly app for our vaccination cards? Since we won;t need to deal with testing, if we can jsut show the cards when we check in, I'm thinking that might be the easiest?

Here's the current dock schedule for 7/4: Princess - Crown Princess FKL Dock Holland-America - MS Koningsdam AS Dock Holland-America - MS Eurodam CT Dock Celebrity - Solstice AJ Dock

I received the offer , mine expired 4/15. Yes, rate started at $30 for interior, add on about $175 for port fees and taxes, still a great price. However, airfare was $600 - $850 (depending on date) per person, so I passed. No way am I paying that price for RDU-SEA. Might have splurged if it was the one way cruise I did in 2018 (Seward to Vancouver on HAL), but not a Seattle RT on Carnival. Besides, I need to sue that $$ on extensive yard work. 🙂
