Have you tried adding them back to your account? I've had to do that before.

That was it.  Whew.  I'm a little paranoid about it now... 

Thanks! 

Glory not on the list.  Hopefully it's just a computer error. 

We have 2 cruises booked for this year.  One in June and one in October.  However, I was going to look at some excursions but both of our bookings are gone.  Have they been canceled already or is this just a server issue?  Is anyone else getting the same problems? 

In a few weeks we will be sailing out of Tampa on the Paradise.  That same day there is an RCI sailing.  Carnival's terminal is listed as terminal 2.  However, I have seen other documentation that lists terminal 3 as the terminal for the Paradise.  

I don't like surprises and I don't want to accidentally take an RCI cruise.  🙂

This is our first cruise out of Tampa.  Can someone more familiar with Port Tampa help me out?  Which is the correct terminal?

How   do  you  go  about  warning  them    can  you  tell  the  waiter  or  is   it  something  that  needs  to  be  done   prior  to that  nights  meal? 

From what I can tell you need to tell your wait staff the previous night.  Night 1, tell them about it for night 2, etc. 

Thanks, ya'll.  Any buffet or MDR hacks/tricks?  I already know about the sugar-free melting chocolate cake if you warn them ahead of time.  Anything else? 

Yay!  I feel so included! 

Heh

Thanks for the info

Since my last cruise, I have been diagnosed with diabetes.  I have a nightly  (slow) insulin and an as-needed (fast) insulin. 

I have a November cruise on the Paradise and one in June on the Breeze. 

For anyone else in the dead pancreas club.... Have you sailed on either of these ships and if so, how did you keep your insulin cool?  Do the mini-fridges do the trick? 

Is the tandoori still aft by the pizza place?  If not, what is there now? 

If you have FTTF, your tags will have a red circle on them. If you have printed it in black and white they will put a red sticker on it (the tag, not the luggage) at the port so it will get processed with the correct priority.

Is Pasion Island better than say, Paradise beach or Nachi Cocum? I’m talking beach wise.

Jaxport has the best parking situation of any port I have sailed from. It may cost a little bit more but being able to easily walk to your car is worth it.

And I have to go ahead and mention how AMAZING our cruise director, Chris the Flying Scotsman, was. He truly made our trip unforgettable!

And I agree. I don't know how much they pay Chris Williams but it isn't enough.

They make you get off the Dream at 10:30 P.M.?

I was also on this trip. We docked at about 9 PM. You could either do a late night disembarkation or the standard early one. It looked like about half the ship chose the late night one. It was a complete cluster for a while but once things got moving it went rather smoothly.

Ardastra Gardens in Nassau. Relatively inexpensive and hey... marching flamingos!

A lot of the newer ships are built accordion style, so they unload everyone and the furnishings then collapse it and store it til the storm passes. The older ones go out to sea because the collapsible technology wasn't there back in the day.

I love you. [emoji6]

Wow! It's like I was reading my bio. I will be 47 in Nov. My first cruise was out of Mobile in June of 2010. However, I think it was the Elation with those bizarre little girl bas reliefs all over the ship.

Cabana at HMC, Ardastra Gardens at Nassau. Never been to Grand Turk or Amber Cove

Hello I will be taking my first cruise on the dream in October and the Fantasy next April. I was just wondering how others determine which port of departure you use? Is it a particular ship, proximity to where you live, destinations, etc. As for now for me it's proximity to where I live. NOLA and Mobile are the 2 closest ports to me followed by Charleston Sc., Jacksonville and Orlando. I'm not much into to flying although I have a few times. Just wondering how you ladies and gentlemen choose your cruises. Cheers!

You must be from my neck of the woods. We also go by driving distance - Jax, NOLA, and Mobile. We are in the Georgia/Tennessee/Alabama corner.

Sunbathing. What they were wearing (or lack tbereof) was criminal. I could not even finish my burrito.

Lol! The cutie pie passed out on the deck chair has that "just back from an excursion" look.

This is simply marketing. If mom and dad go on an adult-centric cruise, 2 tickets are sold for 1 room. Two people buy drinks and excursions. If mom and dad take their 2 kids on a family-centric cruise, 4 tickets are sold for the same single cabin. Two adults buy alcoholic drinks while the 2 kids get non-alcoholic drinks, drop some money in the arcade, and load up at Cherry-On-Top. Then you double the excursions. Leaving the kids at home and you are more likely to take a shorter cruise. Take them along and you can stay for longer periods.

It's simple economics. Parents who bring kids will spend more $.

We usually only dress up (suit, tie, etc) for weddings and funerals. These are arguably the same thing. With that said, I like formal night. It gives us a reason to dress up for a happy occasion. I usually match my tie with the wife's dress.
