I know cant wait till our cruise in August! :):)

It's great for rookie cruisers who don't know how to get the same benefits for free.

Lol very true

This is just a symptom of the disposable society we've become. Ads tell people they need to upgrade their phones every single year; new tech comes out, throw out the old and buy new. Don't bother with leftovers - go out for another meal. Don't wear last year's jacket, shoes, purse, blouse, etc. You absolutely must have new! Just go ahead and buy what you want, when you want it!

 

There's nothing wrong with refurbishing what's still good at it's core.

 

Of course, this comes from someone with a 4 year old phone, a 5 year old kindle, a home computer that still runs Vista, and I've had the same winter coat for the past 10 years (I replaced the zipper a couple of years ago though).

Well said! People are so in debt, but have the newest of everything! Stop buying and save a buck.

Never bought never will. Always go straight to cabin upon boarding. Room always been ready, so dropping off luggage was no problem. Priority boarding; always been there when port opens and am one of the first on. Debarkation, never too worried getting off, always made sure connecting transportation and flights were well enough ahead to not stress when i get off the ship, allows for a liesure morning.

I could see the value a bit in priority tenders, but as we like to explore the ports of call at our will and direction we would not need priority tenders. Some excursions we have found are good, but many are very rushed and the vultures are waiting everywhere. I like to see the real ports and towns, not the tourist parts, but thats just me. Also with staggered boarding now, not sure if fttf is worth it, and not at an increased cost.

Happy sailing

How many people here actually use debit cards, and run right to the internet to check the balance? I use debit cards sometimes, and have had this done to mine, but rarely notice cause I only review my monthly statements and those only show posted charges.

I use my debit card 6-8 times a day, and am never charged more then the amount. It would be illegal for a bank to pay out any amount it felt like.

Yes worth it

Lol

Thank you

Will probably just book from home then now. Already get $100 obc and can pick the room. Appreciate the responses!

Cheers

On both the Miracle and Breeze we put a lump sum on the kids cards, and set the limit at $10 a day. The card would not allow them over the $10, worked great. I never went back to guest services once, and at the end of the cruise their itimized bill was included with mine, never over the $10 per day, and the small remaining amount was added back to my account. All very easy and perfect!

Been twice on carnival, and yes you can set any limit for each kid, they dont need to be the same, we had one a few years older.

I also couldnt travel without my spouse, we love travelling together, but if she couldnt go and tickets are not refundable, bye-bye wife see you in a week!

Towels and garbage, anything else is great, imo

I am going on the breeze in August, and want to know if others have booked their next cruise while cruising and if so what was the advantages or perks to do it. I already see good deals for the following summer so curious if i should wait and what to expect!

We were on deck 6 last time in a balcony cabin, and it was great! Didnt find any issue with privacy or noise. Really depends on your own tolerance imo. If you are a light sleeper, you will have problems in alot of spaces.

Cheers

My kids loved camp ocean, on both cruises, including on the Breeze. Had to force them to have family time. They really keep them entertained.

Kids watched movies almost every night. I didnt like the popcorn, but they didnt mind, and would usually grab pizza half way through also.

Never bought FTTF before. I know some swear by it, but i have never needed it. I arrive early, hardly wait at all, and now with staggered check in should be even easier. We go straight to our cabin, always been ready, deposit our carryons and proceed to lunch and a swim.

Its like any other program, if you percieve value in it, get it, if you dont then dont!

Cheers

Also loking for an updated drink list for higher end scotches or cognacs?

Cheers

What a great review! And your pics are awesome! Been on Breeze last year and going again in august.

Great review so far txs

Would like to hear how you managed!

After seated how long until you were boarded?

Thanks for the report, sailing on breeze again in august, also with a 10am check in.

Have a great trip!

Us and the kids enjoyed it last time on the breeze! Dont know times, and it is weather dependant. Can be challengng, but i think more so for adults, lol. Seen lots of 'big' kids taking awhile, while kids were flying threw it. Seen few lines for it or anything, golf or slides.

Enjoy

Alaska cruise we took was great!

I was booking two rooms at same time and the agent got the names wrong and sent the itenerary by email while i was on the phone with her....3 times! Just couldnt get the right people in the correct cabin. I just kept calm and told her while laughing we can do this all night if she would like until i get email that is correct, next go she got it. There was no need for hostility or compensation, i knew the trip was my responsibility, so i controlled the situation. As another member reflected, do the homework yourself.
