  1. You will see different opinions about this. I buy it for every cruise. I like having designated lines for check in and guest services. I like priority boarding. My Mom cruises with us sometimes and it puts us far enough ahead of the pack so she can take her time walking in instead of holding up people in the middle of the pack. Also with tender ports you have priority boarding which also helps with Mom. She is a little slower and can't stand very long and this just works for us. You also have priority debarking, which we don't take advantage of, and from what I understand you are off the ship pretty quickly. But it is worth getting it 1 time to see if you like it.

  2. My son is Type 1 as well and also on a pump. We just get the medicine cooler from guest service when we get on board. It works great and his extra unopened vials fit perfectly in there. Before we debark we return it back to guest service. They do charge $70 but refund when you return cooler.

  3. Loved the review. I have done that cruise twice and loved it. Your review brought back so many great memories. I try to stay at the Queen Mary when we cruise, I have only cruised out of Long Beach. It is a wonderful place to stay with so much history. It is an old ship, she just turned 80, but the ambiance takes you back in time. I would try to stay there at least once. The porter will take your luggage over when you are ready to check in with Carnival. We get up early, go grab coffee and danish then sit out on the deck to watch the ship come in and the passengers disembark.

     

    If you sign up for notifications from the QM they will let you know when they have specials. I usually can get my room for 50% off. At that price I book a suite!!

     

    Thanks again for a wonderful review.

  4. I just happened to be looking on Carnival yesterday and found 6232 was available for a November cruise. I know the balcony is much bigger than the others but is the room shape or size any different? I have it on hold until tomorrow.

     

    As always, thanks for all your help and knowledge. You guys are the best.

  5. We were assigned this room for a guaranteed stateroom. I have never stayed in the forward section. Is there anything I should expect different than aft bacony. I'm hoping we have a breeze since we didn't have one on the aft balcony.

     

    Any info, good, bad or indifferent is welcome.

     

    Thank you all for being such a wonderful wealth if information and being so willing to share. You're the best!!!
