We’re sailing from Long Beach to the Mexican Riviera today. We’re Platinum with CCL and we’re told to proceed to the Captain’s Club to wait to board. The chairs are comfortable but it is packed. There are no beverages or snacks here. It’s a bit disappointing. At least with NCL we receive refreshments. Hoping Carnival changes this in the future. 

Thanks for starting this thread! I’m flying from LGA to London round trip in May free with the promo! Final payment is on Jan 18th. I have two staterooms in my party and we are linked together. Hoping we’ll be on the same flights. We elected to deviate air one day prior so we won’t have any issues with missing the ship from Southampton. Am interested in seeing any others flying to Europe, specifically London! 

We're just off the Norwegian Pearl...

Hi HawkOnTheSeas,

I just read your review. Great job! It's very helpful information as we prepare for our cruise on 10/31.

We have the same excursion booked at Samana, but are thinking about cancelling since we are spending more money for an excursion on Tortola than we budgeted. We're not really that excited about this stop and even considered staying on the ship. Is there anything to do locally, that doesn't cost a lot? Are there any local companies that you know of that take you to the same island for less? I was at La Romana in Jan., and if I returned there, I would just spend the day on the ship.

Again, great review! I didn't have anyway else to contact you other than posting on this thread. We may have to check out that topless deck!

Late for us since we don't have children and there are usually less kids at the later dining times.

We also enjoy having more time to relax after a busy day and watch our ship leave the ports instead of missing it because we were too busy getting ready for the early dinner.
