I don't know if that is a valid assumption. But I would call before 5pm ET and check to see if they have it. Also, make a screen snapshot in case you need that if the sale ends before you hear back.

Would I call the regular Carnival number or is there another? Thanks to you alls tips, I made the screen shot and have it saved to my computer!

Sooo if its been 30 minutes should I hold out hope that they accepted it since most of the denials were fairly immediate??

I just submitted my form and if approved (though it should as I called to see if I was eligible first) it will result in a very nice OBC!!

Anyone tell me what kind if weather to expect around v Thanksgiving in FLL and Nassau? Starting my packing. I know what it's like in Chicago and I'm going Florida has the complete opposite

Glad someone asked! My son is a snacker but only of certain things. Glad I can bring what he will eat

Since it's just my little guy and I, I hope to be seated with other families.

In November it will just be my 4 year old and I. As an only child he loves other children so that may make him like camp but im prepared if he doesn't. As he gets older im sure we wil be tagging along one of his friends

Candydane thank you! SAS is picking me up at 9:30! Im happy

Im lraving from Port of Miami

I am staying at Hyatt Place Convention center. I booked my transportation but they not starting pick ups until 11. I'm shipping out on carnival and I bought faster to the fun, Any transportation recommendation that will get me before 11? I prefer to be at port at 11, not leave after 11.

Im sailing out of the port of miami

Got my response today. It wasnt the original price but it was the same price the Hampton was charging and still cheaper than what hyatt had on their site. Hope they have shuttle from airport. If not how much would taxi be?

Also mjs says they dont atart h otel pick up til 11. I kinda wanted to be at boat by 11 as I got fttf. Any other ideas?

HP Convention Center is a block from Publix,Winn Dixie,Total Wine, and restaurants. Hampton Inn on Stirling would not be as convenient and there are no grocery stores there other than Kmart and BJs Club.

Thank you! Tried getting a good rate through value teip but have yet to get a response.

Thank you!

Thanks!!

Last minute travel is not free. I ft s $50

Oops hit enter too soon!

Hyatt place 17th Street convention center. Which would fit my needs better? They both have breakfast the next day. Oh I also need a store where I can purchase my sons soy milk. Dont think it would keep non refrigerated during travel.

I am coming in 11/23 for a night pre cruise. I will get there in the evening after a loooong travel day with a 4 year old. My goal would be to sit down and eat, grab a bottle of wine then go back to my room and relax. My two options are Hampton Inn on sterling or hyatt place

You want to adopt me as your neice?! Lol

She will be fine. Discuss your expectations of her and enjoy your cruise!

By the way the relationship a neice has with her uncle is a treasured one. I had a great one growing up and wouldn't change it for anything in the world!

I'm taking my then 4 year old over Thanksgiving. He is in daycare and likes playing with other kids (only child) but I'm already prepared to spend every moment with him. Since it will just be he and I, I'm actually ok with that as if he's in CC who will I talk to?:D

I thought about a car rental but as its just my son and I, it's not cost effective. Im trying to figure out the best way to do this: stay in Ft L and shuttle to POM the next day or get to miami right after we land (don't know how) and take hotel shuttle to port.

Thank you!!!!! This trip has really come together thanks to Cruise Critic!

I found a shuttle but they won't do hotel pick ups until 11 though the price is right. I think its mjs transportation

I fly in Nov 23 and cruise sails out on the 24th. She will be a month out of dry dock so it will be interesting to see how she has changed since I last sailed her in 2009.

So thanks to work conflicts I had to change my cruise from a 3 day out of PC, I had to change to a 4 day on the Ecstasy out of Miami (the Victory didnt have waterworks and since my kid small, I figured that would be important). I now leave during Thanksgiving (which is what I wanted originally).

Looking at flight prices, its cheaper to fly into Fort Lauderdale than Miami. Now for my question: should I just stay in F.L. pre cruise and take a shuttle to port embarkation day OR get to Miami and get shuttle from there? What hotels would you recommend for either place. Keep in mind I'm still traveling alone with my then 4 year old son.

You guys know everything so I know im coming to the right place!
