Discover scuba is a one-day beginner lesson, that shows you how to basically operate the equipment, clear mask, and warn you of what NOT to do in order to stay alive. Then they take you in the water for a dive with your instructor. It is not a certification at all, just a "discover" what its all about.

Thank you for your response. It is helpful!

Just a question for a non scuba person who is interested in learning. What is a “ discover” ?

Thank you

Monday night was and Thursday- being Thanksgiving

Do you know if they will have turkey and dressing as an option since it is Thanksgiving?

The main dining room has a Thanksgiving turkey dinner. Had it last year. Was nice to have the option, but nothing taste like Thanksgiving dinner at home:)

We have booked Thanksgiving weeks for the past 2 years now. Last year I booked ES in February and we received $750 OBC. Remember you have to keep price watching and call in order to received the price drop in OBC.

This year I booked in January but did not do ES. Still have $250 in OBC.

Good Luck with booking.

Dietary issue MIGHT be Celiac.. Still waiting for more info though.

both my DH and DD have celiac. Carnival was very accommodating and each night at dinner they were able to pre order their dinner for the following night.

Thank you. This was just the type of information I was looking for. I'm not familiar at all with the A,B,C islands. I've been to St. Martin and it was my least favorite of the St. K, L and M. But, it was still very nice and pretty. You're right - we will have a great time wherever we go. I'm sailing with 4 of my daughters - ages 17-25 - and we know this might be the last chance this particular group of us may have to all sail together. They are so much fun It was sort of a once in a lifetime type of event and I just wanted to share my favorite islands with them. Yes, with cruise #1 we will still get to see St. Kitts and St. Martin. I've heard that Grand Turk is very pretty and I think it has a nice area right at the port. The rain forest might add variety to the cruise. And...since it's in January and our previous cruise was in April, we won't have to wait as long!!

 

Thanks for responding!!

Grand Turk is beautiful! great beach right at port and margaritaville with beautiful pool.

You wont be disappointed

I didn't see any prices on the menu. Does anyone know the price range of drinks?

Oh wow.....this was me on our last cruise. Much more comfortable just grabbing drinks whenever without worrying about my bill at the end. Mimosas in the late morning, drinks at the pool, with dinner and at night during the shows and clubs. I believe we got our money's worth.

Are you able to use Cheers at dinner in the MDR? For some reason I did not think I could- don't where I got this information, but that makes me want to get it more on the next cruise

Hi,

We sailed Thanksgiving week last year with 2 daughters. only missed 2 days of school.

Cruise was Great! Loved not having to cook and clean:) We loved it so much we are doing it again this year!!

That sounds like a blast!! Not your average "excursion", which sounds like a good challenge for all of us! was that through carnival or and independent excursion company?

Thank you for all the great tips!! Hope to see you all onboard

Now that is a novel idea! Pizza delivery on deck while watching a movie!!

Love the sound of that

Thanks for the advice! I will check out your suggestions and am sure we will have a great time:D

Just Booked Conquest Thanksgiving 2015 for family of 4 (17,12). This will be our second family cruise and first on the Conquest. I am looking for any ship tips or must experiences that we may not know about being "new" to cruising!

Ports are Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman and Cozumel.

Thank you!! ;)

I'm so glad to here Carnival is doing this. Who would knowingly want to expose others and argue with this decision.
