It depends.  Where is "PEI?"  Some deposits from outside the U.S. are not refundable.

Canada.  I wouldn't want a refund.  I would put it towards another cruise. 

So my question is,  I am looking at a 14 day cruise in 2023. We normally book balconies,  but we would not be able to afford a balcony on this cruise.  We have an interior booked on an European cruise  August 2022. So if we decide we absolutely hate an interior room can we cancel that cruise and use the deposit for another cruise? Thanks.

Will they let me take my distilled water onboard for my breathing machine?

That's what I was thinking.  Just curious if anyone had experience with it. I put a minimum bid in. Either way I am happy. 

I sail in a few weeks. I got a Royal Up offer. I did put a small bid on a suite.  How far before the cruise will they let you know if your bid is excepted? Thanks. Luke.

I booked our tests through CVS 13 days ahead of our test date.  Just took our tests this morning (departing Symphony on Saturday) and had the results back within an hour.  

I am from Canada.  Not sure CVS do the tests for non residents. 

Hi. I am cruising on Anthem of the Seas November 14th. Cant wait.  This is going to sound stupid.  When they say the test has to be within  2 days of the cruise,  so if I get my test done on  Friday, I will be ok for Sunday? Comfused......Thanks. Luke 

Just booked Anthem of the Seas for November 14th. Went to look at entertainment and it says can't book and try while on board. Are they doing the shows on board? 

There will not be an Alaska Cruises for an cruise line until at least after July 1st being as Canada is not allowing cruise ships till then. Due to Maritime Law they can't sail without stopping in 2 different countries.  I really think it has to do with employee wages myself. 

What can you tell me about this ship. Opinions?  Are the mini suites worth the extra money?  Thanks 

I cancelled my upcoming cruise March 30. The email I got said it would be up to 7 days to get my FCC. Will I get an email saying I received it? Where do I find it when it does come? Thanks

Just wondering what people think of the Havana rooms on the Vista and Horizon. Thinking on booking an interior. Are they worth it? Are they noisey? 

Well she could have left St. Petersburg after one day and dock at Helsinki today. Then one day at sea to Warnemünde and on Tuesday back in Copenhagen.

There are regulations when you dock in St Petersburg you have to stay over night. Not sure why. Think it has something to do with customs.

I got it all sorted out. I called and booked them. They will be charged to my account as soon as I board. As we do the excursions the 50 will be applied to our account. As far as the soda package I just purchased it. Thanks everyone.

The soda package is not a shore exvursion

I know the soda package is not an excursion. I was going to use my on board credit to pay for the soda package.

So,,,, the proper way to use the shore excursion credit is to follow the written rules for the promotion.

Shore excursion credit can only be redeemed by calling 1-866-625-1167 or booking onboard.

 

When you call, the shore ex is reserved, but you are not charged. On Embarkation day, all of your shore ex is charged to your onboard account. As you complete your shore ex, a $50 is posted to your on board account (basically paying for part of the shore ex).

 

As for the soda package, it is always available on board.

Thank you so much. I did not see that. You just made my day. :D:D

My DW and I are booked on our first NCL cruise. Its on the Epic January 12th out of Orlando. When we booked it we got 2 free offers. Most people would take the drink package but my wife and I dont drink. So we took the Dinning package and 50 dollars off shore excursions. Well I didnt realize when we took that one that it gives you $50 onboard credit per excursion not $50 off each excursion. So when we cruise we always purchase the soda package. So I am thinking thats what we will use our on board credit for but when I was looking at the soda packages I noticed it said limited availability. Do they not sell the package while on board the ship? We normally sale Carnival and this year we tried RCI. And on both we have seen them selling the packages. Is there any way of spending on board credit before you sale to purchase the soda package? There are 6 or 7 ports on this cruise plus we have a $100 on board credit too so that will cover the soda package . Thanks. Luke

That actually is consistent with the plans for the Panorama, and the much shortened schedule the Horizon did. Whatever the reason, whether it be lack of interest in bookings (which is what suspect) or another reason, I do not read this as a "change". Like you, I enjoy sailing on a Carnival ship in locations other than the Caribbean. I totally understand the corporate view, it is just not my view.

Lastly, I have heard some rumblings that the Panorama might not be going straight to Long Beach....we will see.

It really doesnt make sense why they arent doing Europe. My mum is a travel agent and she says European cruises are at an all time high in sales.

Well I am pretty disappointed with Carnival. The president of Carnival said they have no plans on ever returning to Europe so the new ships will be just showing up in there home ports just like the Panarama .

I know it isn't garenteed to do any Baltic but I am just hoping because the Spirit class ships were built there and they all did Baltic inaugural sailings. So fingers crossed. Ports could be limited do to fuel source and size but if Carnival doesn't do it we will be doing RCI.

Well that sucks. I was hoping for it to be out in 2020 cause my family are planning on a Baltic cruise that year.

We cruised RCL for the first time this year on Anthem of the Seas. We normally sail Carnival. I agree with you sum what on the food. The main dining room food was a bit better then Carnival but the specialty restraurants on Carnival are much better. We were disappointed with Jamie OliverS. And Chops was good, but very little vegetables on the menu. We didn't like how it was served. RCL buffets are set up better then Carnival. Although the Conquest class ships are a little squeezed in anyways.

We like the staff better on Carnival. The cruise director made fun of Carnival a few times and found it in poor taste.

Carnival does have more activities. That we are interested in anyways.

RCL blow Carnival away in the main show department.

It's too bad the Conquest was your first Carnival cruise. That class of ship has a crappie layout. Try the Dream Class, Vista, or my favorite class Spirit.

But saying all the negative comments about RCL, I would still definitely sail RCL again. But Carnival deep down is my favorite. I just found we seemed to be on more of a scedule on RCL and wasn't quite so laid back. Maybe if I try a smaller ship on RCL it would be different. I enjoyed your feedback. Luke

Has anyone heard any new info on this ship? The steel must have been started to be cut. It takes around 2 years to build one. Getting impatient. Lol

8am. So I think 1125 would be pushing it. :'):')😂

I was thinking probably a car service.
