I'm enjoying following you along. We're going to be in a cabana in December. I was wondering about the seaday brunch for the terrazza area. Have you had that? And are the hot tubs busy in the terrazza area? 

I thought I read that you could book balconies on the Elation already?

I used pre pay but forgot too come and update the thread.

You pre pay online and print out your confirmation. When you get there hand over your confirmation and that's it. They give you something for your dash and your good to go.

No priority parking. We got front row but only because we were there early.

In Nassau if you turn right of the ship and walk about 15 minutes you will find Junkanoo beach. Lots of food, music and fun. Or walk further down the beach if you want more quiet.

In Freeport you can walk around the port but its not very interesting. Take a taxi to Port Lucayan for $10 pp round trip. There's a huge marketplace with restaurants. If you cross the road and walk about a block to the right you will find the police station. Beside the police station there is path leading to a very nice beach. If they try and tell you the beach is closed, don't believe them. It just has a little debris from the hurricane.

Not if the Mrs. does not drink and Mr. wants to purchase Cheers.

For safety reasons, if my kids were on board I wouldn't want to drink that much nor would my husband. Without kids is different.

When I book with my PVP, he puts my kids in one room and us in another but gives both rooms my VIPF benefits/offers. I get better offers then my husband, don't know why.

So much easier then having to switch room keys or names once on board.

I found it only on Discovery on Demand. It requires a paid subscription to the service.

It was on the regular Discovery channel earlier this year. It was the first episode of this season of Might Ships. Now it may only be on demand but I watched it as did many others.

Yes, it was on Discovery. I watched it.

Why? Canadians are cruisers too and there are lot's of things that aren't viewable in Canada that are viewable in the states.

I'm pretty faithful to Carnival so I start by picking the date and then checking ports. We drive to ports from Ontario so any port in Florida we drive to. Then I check prices and itineraries. Pick one I like then check out the ship to make sure it has the things we like such as guys burgers and a serenity deck. I like to pick an itinerary that has at least one new port that we haven't been to.

But its not refundable so if you have to cancel you cruise or don't use it all, you don't get it back.

Can't really say what the smoke is like but I do know there is no doors on any of the casinos. There is a lot of other fun stuff other places on the ship.

Junkanoo beach is free and you can walk to it from the ship

Elation should be out of dry dock in November so it should be nice and shiny.

Call me overprotective but I already told my 13 year old she will not be leaving or going anywhere without supervision. It's my first cruise with kids, but I don't let her roam in a hotel, I'm certainly not letting her roam on a ship! It;s not her I'm worried about. She is a great kid. I'm worried about people that can open their room doors and just pull her in and I'd never know. I'm worried that she could get pushed overboard. I know, I know. I'm a worry wart. But I'd rather be safe than sorry!

Wow! Hopefully you lighten up a bit when she meets some friends. Or will you not allow that either?

Steak and eggs are only available during sea day brunch. Other days its the usual breakfast foods, eggs, bacon, sausage, french toast, pancakes, hollandaise eggs, juices.

no only tea, lemonade, reg coffee, hot chocolate and orange juice in the morning. Maybe some kind of mango juice but I;ve never tried it.

I understand you wanting to get Twinix from the TV commercials here in Canada about traveling and needing it. Personally I don't don't get the shots.

Mentioned a few times and it made me laugh every time someone else said it: bathrobes. My husband and i have a contest every cruise for who can spot the most bathrobes on the cruise. He usually wins. Last cruise I was ahead by 1 on the last day and I was sure I had it. Then LAST DAY, he spotted 2. Not even together. We cruise in a few weeks. We;ll be spotting again.

Too bad you weren't on our bahamas cruise a month ago. Everyone was wearing their bathrobe so they wouldn't freeze getting out of the pool or hot tub.

Everyone has a reason for wearing their robe. While I normally wouldn't wear one out and about on the ship, its not nice to make fun of those who do.

I only park at the port parking for safety reasons.

Only one in the group has to do it

$15 a day is a good price compared to other ports. Consider the safety of your vehicle.

FTTF is also good for having your room ready when you board, dedicated line at guest services and priority tender.

I don't purchase wifi. I try and find free WiFi in ports.

I like to do at least one excursion and at least one beach day.

I don't purchase cheers but we are not heavy drinkers. My husband gets a buckets of beer and I get a couple of frozen drinks a day so it's not worth it to us. I think to break even you need to drink 6 a day.

Purchase a case of water before hand at the fun shops to be delivered to your stateroom. And don't forget you can each bring on a bottle of wine and 12 pop.

I'll be waiting on sailaway a week from today, so I'll get back and let you know...;)

Well keep that ship safe for me ;) I'm the sailing right after you

You can walk to the beach.

I've bought pre-paying parking but I'm not using it for 2 weeks. I can get back to you after we've used it.
