looking to find the price of the blue mountain coffee is anyone knows.

we are taking granddaughters in March and would like to know if they take a video of your swim? would like to buy a video and/or pictures.

Also anyone know the cost per picture or packages and video if avail?

thank you

just looked at City View website....they don't start till 9:30 am....we arrive at 7:30 and are only there till 1:30 which means we will have to be back on board by 1:00.....sure hope we will have enough time to catch a couple hours at the beach for them.

thank you so much for the quick reply......will make notes.

Have a good day.

I know there are not many places to have a beach day in key west but can anyone recommend a stop to get off the hop-on and off trolley to stop with kids so they can play in the water for awhile? have heard of Smathers beach....is that close enough?

this will be our 9th carnival cruise but first on freedom. What additional dining is avail besides Buffet and main dining room? Booked a panarama deck....our favorite spot !!! sail in March and can not wait.

I think it was like $45 for just the park.

We are booked for March.....doing the Dolphin swim in Grand Cayman cuz only had to pay for the kids....in Ocho Rios they ( Carnival ) wanted us to all pay full price.....ridiculous. Wouldn't let us book just admission fee separate.

So doing the park there cuz really don't want to walk around Jamaica with a 13 and 14 yr old.....not much for them to do except shop.

And they will NOT let you book it if you are on a cruise...have to go thru the ship.

we are booked on this cruise for March...........why were you changed from Ocho Rios to Mo-BAY? We have an excursion paid for in Ocho-Rios and really hope NOT to have to change it.

we go to Blue Lagoon....it is very nice there.....a short trip and I think the excursion was like $40 or so.

I am taking my 2 granddaughters in March. They don't have passports, but did get the permission letter signed by both parents....they are divorced also. It does give me authority to make medical decisions if necessary. I listed the name of the ship dates sailing and to what islands. Also include the airline info just in case. And yes have it notorized.

They are 13 and 14 and only one has a picture ID from school. I thought I had to get the younger one a photo ID but maybe I don't per the other posters note.

Question.....dO they have trays in the buffet area......

Have seen people mention that they do NOT and then saw a couple say yes....

traveling in March with 2 children and would be great if they do!!! So much easier with kids.

thank you

But what if I have paid OFF the cruise early and it is NOT past final date then can we get OBC if something is cheaper....even if we have paid-in-full. NON-early saver.

I want to pay it off now but our final payment date is still not here....will I be able to get credit if they already have my money with something other than early saver.

So 2 questions:

1. If you pay off cruise early under anything except Early Saver can you still get a price drop IF it's before final payment DUE DATE?

2. If you book something and early saver ( or another sale ) is cheaper AFTER final payment due date can it be

switched at that time? Or is final payment date final no matter what???

I think it's an OK idea for families.....we sail in March with my 2 granddaughters who are 14 and 15 and are too old for Suess, but others should enjoy it. My only complaint will be the movies at night.....sure hope they aren't shown then cuz we love to watch movies on the deck at night and really don't want to see dr. Suess ones.

Great....I will check them out.

thank you

I do like the new menus also.....there looks like some very nice choices.....for heavens sake it's not the QE2....and the prices you pay on carnival justifies the menus. if you want fancy food then sail on a fancy line......I am not trying to be nasty! it's just the truth. Be reasonable, .... I have sailed on HAL and yes the food was very fancy.....but that's not what carnival is about.......some people call it being CHEAP.....I call it catering to a family type crowd? the dishes aren't mcDonalds.....the menus look like they have some very nice choices.

COME on.....FLAMING here it comes !!!!

that was very nice.....what is the shuttle service that DOES go to the Doubletree gallery One?

I hope we can get a room facing the ocean....kids would enjoy that.....our reservation says city view though !!!!

it was a pretty nice place to shop .... we always enjoyed it.....hope it is still hallway decent in March.....thanks

Is this mall area still open. We had heard that many stores are no longer there. we like to go there and shop and work our way back to margaritaville and have lunch.

thanks will look into each of these.....probably easiest is a cab.....good info.

Apparently the Doubletree gallery One hotel does not have transportation from the Ft. Lauderdale airport....anyone know best way to get there and approx. cost?

thank you

ok thank you will try that.

Last hotel in Miami I tried that with closed their restaurant before be got there, but it was 3 months later.........that was a surprise....we were in a not so great neighborhood so ended up ordering in pizza ( and it was not good )....so always like to hear from others sometimes.

We are booked here for our spring break cruise and are a family of 4. It is the one on Stirling Ave, and have read many mixed reviews....some say GREAT, some say YUK....there is not many that give it an average rating....so question is....anybody have any info?

We will not have a car and arriving early afternoon ....so will need late lunch and/or dinner. IS there some places close by to go and eat? And is the area pretty safe to walk to a restaurant or is cab necessary?

Any suggestions on where to eat would be a plus also.

Thank you

Has anyone stayed at the Best Western on Stirling Ave ?

Any info appreciated.

thanks forth info....great
