We will be new to Diamond on the Vision of the Seas. I have a few questions about the perks.

Reduced prices on laundry?

Can the drink vouchers be used in other lounges? What are the times they can be used?

If you are a non drinker, what other beverages do you have a choice of?

Can the drink vouchers be used in the dining room?

other perks for Diamond? reserved seating? express tender departure etc?

Thanks for any info!

Totally agree. Especially when their competitors do combine everything.

Hate to say it... but Carnival sure makes it a lot easier.

Totally agree. Also is it true that "Future/Next cruise" certificates no longer come with 2 friends and family vouchers?? Tried to give it to a friend who decided to cruise with us this February and they didn't honor it:(!

I know for a fact some other cruise lines do combine Stock Holder OBC with Next cruise or Furture cruise OBC (booking a cruise while on a ship).

Thanks

Ok Thanks! Someone said there were not soap and shampoo dispensers in the cabin showers. Is that still true?

Would love to hear your impression of the ship. What did you love or favorite place to spend your day etc. What to not miss on the ship. also, any cons you found on the Vision.

Thanks

I have used the same address for years and always get a reply. I have sent 2 emails and received no reply. So I am wondering if the email has changed? rcldining@rccl.com is the one I have.

Thanks for any info!

It is Stock holder OBC and some from travel agent.

We have already book our excursions and really do not care about specialty dining etc. So, wondering what others have done with $150 plus OBC.

Thanks

We prepaid our gratuities. Now thinking we may have left over OBC. Are you able to cash out gratuities in the casino? Or what is the best way?

Thanks for any info!

I love this idea. Wondering if there is a charge for doing this? thanks!

wow, I totally forgot to report back. I a so sorry for the huge delay!

 

Anyway... it all went very smoothly and it was beautiful. I think I took a couple of pics and will post them if I can find them.

 

I posted on John Heald's facebook page asking for his assistance and he replied asking me to email him when it got closer to the cruise, I think it was a couple weeks out. One of the "Stephanie's" (what he called most of his assistants) replied with a confusing email that did not make me feel confident that she knew what my request was so i posted several panicked messages on JH's facebook page. He did answer me and let me know he'd made all the arrangements and to just go to guest services as soon as we got on the ship.

 

As requested, we went straight to GS and they had to find a manager but once he was found, he reassured us everything would be taken of. He asked us where and what day we preferred and told us they would try their best to accommodate us and would deliver a letter in our cabins to confirm the day and time.

 

We got our notice as promised for the day and time we requested and met the manager and head of security at guest services. Everyone was very kind and respectful and offered their condolences. They then walked us back to a secured area at the back of the ship (ergo, head of security). Once back there, they told us to take our time and just throw hard when we were ready.

 

We said a few words then I threw a rose and my sister threw the urn. We then stood there for several minutes just hugging and crying and when we were ready to leave the staff gave us each a big hug. They must see these often but they were visibly moved.

 

Oh! We had a Himalayan salt urn so we were able to throw it in the ocean but they offered us a biodegradable bag in case we needed it.

 

All in all, they gave us a beautiful moment we will cherish for ever.

They had better fix it quickly:0!!

It has not worked for weeks:(!

Yes we have 6 weeks on the Vision next Spring and we are near the Centrum too:0!

Yes,ok turn on airplane mode and data off then, but leave WiFi on. Thanks

Do not want to incur big fees while sailing. Thanks

Sure hope they have fixed the sewer problem on the Vision:0!

Anyone know if you can buy Ambien at the pier where Carnival docks? Thanks

Also to sign up for Verizon plus you have to sign up for Verizon Select that tracks you so they can send u ads:(! I loved the Verizon smart rewards. Probably will switch carriers. You can text for free out of the U.S. with Sprint.

Yes, us too so why is Verizon changing it? Anyone know what Verizon up is and is it worse or better?

Anyone know what the Verizon up plan will be? Why are they changing it?

Can anyone tell me if the AARP points for carnival cards are going away also? Thanks

We are on the 3rd deck OV kind of under the men's Restroom and conference center. It is near the rear elevator. We are not under the restaurant. I believe it is 3106. Do you think that area will be noisy? Also, how do you like the 3rd deck OV cabins?

Thanks for any info:)!!

Mouseworld, What cabin were you in? What was above you? Now really scared:)!!

Thanks for any info!!
