Thank You !

Booked 8448!

 

 

Happy sailing!  The Freedom is my favorite ship.

I agree, 8448.  It has a long balcony port side as well as the aft view.

For long term planning check the Allstate topic and the AARP topic on this thread.

To buy some in the near future, some retail establishments have offered them in the past.  I think I remember people mentioning Krogers, Publix, and maybe Home Depot.

Thank you!

Good morning.

I have had both aft-extended and a spa cabins on the Breeze.  My preference is the spa balcony but on deck 11.  The balconies on deck 12 aren't covered.

The view from the aft-extended balconies is awesome and the extra space is awesome.  Downside is there is hardly ever a breeze.  The cabins on deck 9 get some shade from the overhang of deck 10.  These are my favorite.

Bottom line, I prefer spa balcony on deck 11.

Happy sailing.

"Cashing out" at the casino sounds like you can walk up and get cash from the casino which you can not do.  

You just load your OBC into a slot machine, input the requested information, spin once, cash out and take your card to the cage and then they will give you the cash (hopefully)

Correct.

Elaine, no one has sailed on Carnival for a year.  Last time i sailed it was still possible to cash out at the casino.

I believe everyone has the right to choose for themselves what's best for them and their bodies. With that being said, I would never pull up to a stranger in my car and have them inject me with some unidentifiable liquid. That just sounds like madness to me. 

I completely agree everyone has a right to choose whether to get the vaccinations.

I go even farther in believing every cruise line and every country has the right to choose whether to allow passage on their ships or entry into their country.

Of course I have a passport.  So does every single family member I have ever taken with me across the northern or southern border, or on a cruise.  Full stop.

Moderna here.  First shot no reaction.  My arm wasn't even sore.  Second shot, arm a tiny bit sore at injection point, but only if I touched it.  Second day a feeling of fatigue and loss of appetite, but no fever,  aches, or pains.

I had never heard of a scenic ocean view before reading about one on this board.  I luckily found one for the Freedom next summer and booked it as soon as the cruise opened up. I can’t imagine they would still be available close to sailing time. 

I am so jealous!  Happy sailing indeed!

I have tried to book these cabins with no luck, we even looked into those cabins with a walk way view.  I think they are only on deck 6 & 7 of Conquest class ships.  I wish there was a trick to it.

I stalked Carnival's website religiously until spring itineraries for 2019 were announced.  I then looked at the Freedom week by week.  The first date I found with the Scenic Ocean View cabin for two available I booked.

The Freedom is no longer home ported in Galveston.  I got one shot and I jumped.

I have a Scenic Ocean View on the Freedom November 14, 2021. I made the reservation on 12/9/2020 and it was the only one available. I chose this particular ship and date because it was the only one with that cabin available.

We had it one time.  Trust me, you're in for a treat.

On the Conquest class ships there are only 4, located on deck 9, designated as 6J.  Only one of the four shows as a two person cabin.  I caught one once by looking daily at various dates.

I have never personally seen one of the Grand Scenic Ocean View cabins available.

I don’t see Carnival on there anymore. Any clue?

It isn't unusual for the site to sell out of any specific card.  Check back and they will probably reappear in a few days.

Thanks!

I hope vaccinations are required for everyone on the ship.

It is my understanding that there is no diluted version of Cheers.  Your package will include everything offered in the Cheers program.

Happy sailing.

I think it would be nice of Carnival to offer some points for cruises cancelled by Covid that are rebooked and eventually sail.

I might suggest perhaps not a one to one basis, but half, rounded up, e.g. two days for a cancelled four day cruise and four days for a cancelled seven day cruise.  The bonus points would be awarded only when the replacement cruise is completed.

Thanks St Greg

Good morning.  For 1K

SPRING2021

Gift card replacements from my first cancelled cruise took many months.  I don't remember exactly but I think around six months.

Gift card replacements for my second cancelled cruise were received quickly - under 2 months.

I have yet to receive anything from my cancelled April 2021 cruise.

Thanks st greg!
