We stayed there pre-cruise last year. It is great for one or two nights, right across from the pier and walking distance to several restaurants and grocery store. Not too far from the port, we took an Uber.

This is not the same Days Inn that Capt_BJ is referring to.

I have happy hour scheduled for Saturday to the cruise port. They were very quick to reply to my questions and very reasonably priced! Looks like they have good reviews.

I received that email today for my Magic sailing 1/28/23! I was thinking that was new!

I received a call today for my 1/28/23 Magic cruise for an upsell on our interior with picture window deck 6 to a balcony on deck 6 for $400, we took it! I think it is a good deal! Not sure why because the ship has been sold out for weeks.

I booked a grand scenic ocean view about a year and a half out from the cruise a few years ago, best cabin ever.... When I saw it I booked so fast I didn't have time to blink...

So I submitted a price protection to Carnival and it was approved, however they messed it up. So I called Carnival and got it fixed.  The agent told me there was a better rate. The rate I booked originally was a "price protection rate" which I know you have to do to get reductions. The rate she was looking at was not but she said that the "price protection" stays with your booking if that was your original rate even if you get a reduction and that rate is not.   In the past I was under the impression that you moved to the new rate and lost that. Can someone please confirm one way or the other for me.   I do not want to be stuck not being able to get those reduction as my cruise is 2023, lots of time for rate drops.

We buy them when Kroger has their 4x fuel points. We end up with about 4 free fill ups of gas at 35 gallons each. So if gas is $2.30 per gallon then we are getting $81.00 of free gas for each fill up. Much better than the 10% that we used to get thru Verizon or AARP.

I have searched but cannot seem to find much information on San Juan boarding. I have read a few reviews saying that FTTF may not be necessary in San Juan and would love some feedback on this. Also when is the earliest time anyone has boarded with FTTF, I know in New Orleans we have gotten there around 10:15 and were on the ship by 11 ish.

It does work at the coffee bar, I got one this last Sunday morning while waiting to get off. Although I have not found anywhere that serves drinks if it exists.

Is this also where you can get the spiked milkshakes? I have just found out that there is such a thing and it is on my cruise bucket list of things to try.

Thank you so much, I am really hungry now and cannot wait for our cruise on the Valor in 11 days..

Imessaging seems to work for me. I do also get the social media package so not sure if it has something to do with this or just works on its own. I can Imessage those on ship and also at home.

I always book Mr. Sanchos through cruiseexcursioneer and have never had a problem, and it is $5 less than booking directly with Mr. Sanchos.

Following, I am trying to find someplace to store luggage as well in New Orleans for the day in a couple of weeks. I found a new, ( at least I think it is new), company called Stasher that is kind of like airbnb for luggage Just wish I could get some reviews on it before using it.

My initial thought of ru-oh is dismissed, sounds like it's ok

I was panicking as well which is why I asked my TA to call and check on it for me.

I have the same thing. My TA called Carnival and they said it is because it is a group booking. The cabin number should be on there right after final payment day, he is not sure why Carnival does it this way but the booking is fine and we have the cabin we booked..

We have an aft balcony booked for October 2019 on the Valor, 5 day and our total is $1190 for 2 people.

This is what is posted on their website.

HOURS - We open when the cruise ships arrive...and we stick around to wave goodbye! For early morning ships, the beach is open when the ship arrives, the bar at ~9 am & the grill at ~11 am. For large groups we can open to suit your group's needs.

You do not get a discount on drinks when you purchase the cups however I used mine to pour my drinks in so it would stay colder and would have a lid on it.

I was thinking if I was offered a suite no up charge I might take it . I am not expecting that to happen but just wondered everyone's opinion just in case it happens.

I love my balcony but....THAT VIEW

So what upgrade or upsell offer would you take to move out of a Grand Scenic Ocean View. We have one booked on the Conquest in March and wondered from those of you that have stayed in one what you would consider an upgrade from that cabin???? :confused:

I have not had this experience either this was from someone evidently who just got back from a cruise last week and it is something new. I understand that there are different types of drinks that come in different size glasses. They had stated that they were with someone who did not have Cheers and ordered same drink and the Cheers came in smaller glasses. I just wanted to see if anyone else had the same experience.

I am good with smaller amount of mixer as long as the alcohol is the same amount and not trying to start a rumor, trying to get the facts.

I love the Alchemy bar and everything they make me is good. As far as the other bars I really like the Ting Mojito from the Red Frog... It has grapefruit soda in it.
