  1. Been on the Equinox, Eclipse and Reflection. twice, they do change with Updates, and always enjoy the ship no matter what. I can point out some creaks and noises and a loose floor board in the MDR.

     

    Explore while onboard the ship and just enjoy everything it has to offer? Shopping the Art show used to be where the Watches were at, now moved to the lower shopping deck.

     

    Get a free pastry or desert, get some fancy drink at the Ice bar, they put on a great show if still do.

     

    Talk to the Staff, Cruise director and have fun sailing

  2. At the New York Manhattan pier, the security persons who handle Carnival do not allow soda in a plastic bottle. I brought a few to board the ship and they took them all. They said no soda in bottles, period.

     

    To avoid unexpected disappointment, stay with cans.

     

    Rules do change.

     

    Never did I personally say all I said rules do change.

     

    Why todays times security is one reason why over protecting.

     

    I will give you all a good reason not to pack your soda in a luggage

     

    "SPILL" your luggage does not handled with kid gloves. it gets rushed on.

  3. As rules will change. found from other lines

     

    Carnival Cruise Lines: Carnival is fairly liberal with their beverage policy. According to their website, “On embarkation day, each guest may bring a small quantity of non-alcoholic beverages on board and only in their carry-on luggage. A small quantity is considered a maximum of 12 bottles and/or cans, 20 ounces each or less.”

     

    Update: As of July 15, 2016, Norwegian no longer allows any liquids (other than medical-related items), to be brought aboard. This includes soda and water.

  4. Boring shows, to each their own...

     

    Deck 16 basketball court. Then their private game room with Xbox by Microsoft two or three, If they have contests in there, board games etc.. games They have their own private space, they have a boys and girls bathroom over 18 considered an Adult not allowed.

     

    there is a arcade game room, pkg deals $1.00 per game about very noisy when all twenty games (about) are sounding off you have prize games, car games, shooting games, air hockey, and puzzle prize games. Enough to keep one busy for some time.

     

    Pool activities are volley ball, mini golf but only when the CD (cruise Director) announces and more to the Adult.

     

    On Deck 16 mid ship are two ping pong tables the kids play on.

     

    Down on Deck 4 the Comedy central, they sometimes bring out the Large Xbox tv games, ( on the Equinox) ( I remember) on one or two nights only.

     

    Deck 9 is a card room old fashion plane card tables, the other ships are updated with electronic games on the table

     

    It all depends how one keeps busy, hope from what I remember when observing when I walked around onboard back in Holiday time, Kids were onboard quite a few, and they were busy doing things if asked.

  5. Weather permitting, for the Cayman Islands I hear some are lucky and some are not, they can Dock near by or other locations.

     

    The night before all your information will be bt the Director as a reminder at each end of the shows. All excursions that require early starts will leave first,

     

    I do not want to muss inform you so I shall let others who just been there tell you? My last trip there were no tickets in Nov 2015

     

    If they Drop at 8:AM the wait will be a good 15 minutes to fill the Tender/ferry/Charter, the ride from ship to land can be 10 minutes, the getting off can be up to 10 meiutes, and the walk to where you need to be at can be a few minutes.

     

    :45 is cutting close. but all in all you should have 15 minutes to spare.

  6. We were in California and I asked for apple juice. It did take awhile so I peeked. Someone was squeezing fresh apples in a juicer!

     

    I used to enjoy the orange juice in Blu as it had been freshly squeezed. No mo.

     

    so true. so true

  7. Giving the ports would be great?

     

    We taken a Local excursion. Basically a Taxi ride to the main stops. We were packed l no seats, very uncomfortable. The driver gotten Bad gas. at the highest point of the Island is when the Taxi broke down, we were taken back by another Taxi, a long story short, Best to take a ships excursion for added protection.

     

    Taking just any ole tour off the ship, you never know what you are going to get, it can be the best trip ever, or the worst ever.

  8. Thanks I also have a hard time understanding yours and Yes I speak English first, and no other language (smiles)

     

    SO again let me make 1970's clear for you.

     

    Thank you Yes Café El Blanco on Deck Five the Coffee spot thank you for clearing that up. You personally can not miss it, on port side Mid ship.

     

    Deck 11 Forward, in Aqua Spa there is a room you can look out under the Gym's floor, there are lounges tea and coffee, you can enter before and after hours, and enjoy a relaxing quiet part of the ship. This part you don't understand because????? you do not know what I am talking about, know where it is at? never explored?

     

    The Sky private party, I never said to crash it I said others do exactly that and that to me is something the Staff let slide by, it is a trick people do especially the young adults flaunting their way in.

     

     

    I say it open and honest, and clear as day.

    Deck 5 all those deserts, they are FREE Port side.

     

    --- I think you are referring to Cafe Al Bacio, where there are breakfast pastries until noon, and sweet desserts thereafter. There is no charge for the food, but the drinks there are not

     

    Aqua spa Under the Gym you can go in there, it's FREE before opening and after.

     

    --- I have no idea what this is referring to

     

    The Sky private Parties. you can walk in, get a Drink FREE, people who do that needs to be taught a lesson. And they get away with it to.

     

    --- how is this a tip or trick? Are you recommending crashing a private party or not? I am having a hard time understanding your posts

  9. what do you mean by aqua spa under the gym being free?

     

    any other tips welcome!

     

    Many people thin when on a ship you are restricted, I say FREE to roam and explore. Deck 11 Forward will be the Aqua class....

     

    Only tip you don't want to see is the Vessle .

  10. There has not been fresh squeezed OJ for a few years now ( this has been debated several times ) it now comes pre squeezed and frozen. When it was fresh squeezed it was only available under the premium package, what I was asking , is it now available on the classic package ?

     

    Glad to hear that, I then grab a Orange, and enjoy instead, appreciate your thoughts

  11. I stand corrected. But it definitely was NOT freshly squeezed orange juice. Do they still make Tang?

     

    The dispensers in the Ocean View carry an orange drink loaded with sugar.

     

    You can stand correct, until you see the label presented to you ... (smiles)

     

    The Ocean café refreshment is Water and concentrate, from those Pop machines. the passion fruit is by far very good, and one of the things I know, we were all on an excursion, brought us to a store, celebrity owned in town, same exact drink.....

     

    If Tang was brought to the table I would know right away the taste as well. that I find is a drink not healthy to drink, Tang can be a better cleaning agent then a drink.

  12. My started post here was a question to the OP they came back to answer. after that. I did not pun anyone. I basically said it as is. the truth.

     

    Orange Juice is nort going to be freshly squeezed, ti si going to be containered by a company and most likely not Tropicana, unless noted when pulled out in front of you. so if you

     

    Pkg it is included when I was onboard, today. maybe some one who just got off can actually answer it. thngs seem to change minute by minute today
