You are assigned a muster station and go watch them put on a life jacket and they scan your card/boarding pass and you're done. No more sardine line ups.

I have cruised MSC, Royal, NCL and Celebrity. I keep coming back to Carnival. Why? Because it truly is fun!!!!

THIS!!!!

I think they only sail from San Francisco to Alaska. not 100% sure.

We get DOU everywhere and I do not remember seeing any additional charge on the receipt that i have to sign. (except when we are still in port) I believe the gratuity is already included in the price for the drink. My receipt always shows "0".

We did Alaska out of SF last year and spent 3 days after in San Francisco. It was wonderful seeing the sites in San Fran but I'm sure there is a lot to see in Seattle as well. If you haven't been to either, it's a pick'em IMHO. (or whichever is cheaper)

You have to go where it says redeem rewards. It cannot be done on mobile. You have to be on the full website to add it for on board credit. Also, the onboard credit will not show up until you are on board the ship and probably not until the second day of the cruise Have a great cruise!

Our cabin was assigned today and it is an interior Havana which came as a surprise to me. While that was assigned, my pre-bookings disappeared. (WI-FI, Dinner reserv. and water purchase). I was able to confirm on the phone my pre-board purchases with the fun shops so all is good! Thank you all for your reassurance! 5 days and counting!

From what I understand, the new menu is currently only on the Dream.

Nope

As far as I know it is Sea day brunch that runs from 8:30 til noon on sea days. Other days they do have breakfast in the MDR but it ends early (9-9:30?) I have never seen lunch served in the MDR any days. If i am wrong, I can assure you someone will correct me. 😁

On our Alaskan cruise (10 day) they were seaday brunches.

That's me too! Hence, the reason for my question and calling my PVP!

This is the first time I booked a cruise with a PVP (casino offer) and was told that it is a guarantee cabin and it would be assigned automatically. All my previous cruises (over 20+) I had booked myself. I only did it because she kept calling as we had nothing booked. I did call my PVP to ask about it and she said it will be assigned but could be up to the day of the cruise. This makes no sense as my luggage tags need to have a room number in order to be delivered! We are less than 2 weeks from sail date and still says "stateroom 1". Has anyone else experienced this and if so, when did you finally get a room assigned? BTW-this will be the last time I book with a PVP.

Can you say this topic has been discussed a trillion times?

THIS!!!

Thank you for a wonderful live review! I thoroughly enjoyed every post! Safe travels! (btw-I'm willing to bet that you were #4 in that line up picture)😉

This really made me chuckle. I'm one of those stalkers as I don't post much but read all these reviews. Great job! I see you are also a dog lover, hence all the dog pics?

You really impress me with all your knowledge of all the ships you've been on! Amazing how much you remember!

The milkshakes are yummy.

THIS!!!! except we have cruised more than 3 times since restart. We love, love the Celebration and will be our first choice for our next cruise and we've been on her twice in the last 3 months.

No-I'm sure they have all been there before
