How much is a third person in a cabin typically?

Usually, ONE too many. ...LOL      Have a fun Bon Voyage!

Would these work like a rum runner and go undetected in you bags?

Well....it they don't make it to your cabin.....you can pick them up in the "Naughty Room" when you debark.  VBG & YMMV! 

Bon Voyage    

The PR Governor has resigned....things should settle for now.

I think the art auction isn't a total waste,  you get champagne.  

And BAD champagne at that.  

This is why I make a "packing list" for travel.....and two copies!   One for departure and another copy for returning home.  That way I can be reminded if I have anything left behind.  Works for any travel.    

Cruise line TV channels are the VERY channels that we do NOT watch at home.  It has never been an issue since we are on vacation.  Watching TV is something to do at home.

Do i leave myself a note ? 

Are you trying to remind yourself that you already have been on this ship?  LOL

Carnival says you need to submit at 3 weeks prior to sailing.

Carnival requests you file NO LATER than three weeks prior to sailing date.  I file two months before sail date.

Is this actually enforced?  

Yes...I have been asked to change.

make sure you get the water from the Lido deck- don't count on room service to bring anything hot enough that would work half-decently.

As long as you are on the Lido....would you bring me back  a cup of their black coffee....LOL

....may I bring a small travel kcup coffee maker to use in my cabin?

You can drag one along if you want to and you will be able to pick it up at the naughty room when you disembark.  All luggage will go thru scanners and anything with a cord will be considered a "heat" producing appliance which are verboten.   They will open your luggage and remove the item/s.   There will be a documented note signed by staff that will verify they removed certain items.  Fire is the most dreaded danger on a cruise ship.  An overloaded electrical circuit aboard could spell disaster for everyone.

has anyone stayed in this size room with 4 people? Is it enough room?

Your cabin might be tight...but don't forget you will only have ONE toilet.  That would be the deal breaker for me.

What ever happened to just going on your booked vacation and enjoying all the surprises to come. 

I'm with you....opening that Christmas present on Labor Day just ruins all the excitement for the day.   I want to be completely surprised and enjoy  ALL the moments of discovery.

We did the excursion that included Reef, Rays and Beach.  

I believe that will be the tour we choose.  Thanks for your insight.  

We are sailing CCL Magic 02/29/20.   I have never snorkeled before so I am learning at home in our pool.  

Of the ports we dock, St. Maarten, Tortola, San Juan and Grand Turk, which one would be the best first time experience for a snorkel excursion booked through CCL?  Or should I look at outside vendors for the pleasure?

never seen an offer after booking online either.  interesting.

Mine arrived via email directly from CCL.   Their offer was for a measly $720....it was so outrageous I had to decline.

,CCL stock is showing a further 4.5% decline in pre-market trading this morning.

When toilet paper price drops at the grocery, we buy more.    Same with stock market.

  We call them Cando's.   

Always pack My Pillow and don't leave home without it!   The company offers a self vacuum pack for their pillows.  Place pillow in bag...squeeze out air and it seals tight.  Great for packing in your luggage.  Of course, I bought mine years ago and the Press & Pack Bag (3-Pack) are 6 bucks or so.  Check their website.

sad but true. Hard enough to give good service but they are required to stop serving and perform for us 

I would rather have exceptional service rather than having them stop and force me to watch their "dog and pony" show....it really is quite boring.  

Never seen a casino open while docked.  I believe they must be in international waters.

I can't see why anybody would ever expect the captain to visit their table. I can't remember even once when this happened on one of our cruises.

I can't recall the Maître d' ever stopping by my table!
