Defender1791

What ship?

The Breeze in August. They had a twin set up in our kids connecting room when we boarded in September.

Am I able to request that the sofa bed be used for our daughter instead of them setting up the twin size bed?

We would like to utilize the couch in our balcony room during the daytime hours.

True, in the context of the question. The "device" can be switched, as I always do. As example I switch it from iPhone, to iPad, to Mac. Point being it is not tied to a device.

Very true. But to the OP's question regarding texting others in her group, she would have to purchase plans for all devices to do that. That is why I suggested the hub app chat feature.

Can we text only who is on the ship?

Yes, the hub app only allows texting those who are connected on ship.

The social internet plan will allow texting those off the ship.

You'd have to purchase an internet plan for each device in order to do that.

You simply use the hub app for communicating with everyone in your family. It costs only $5 per device to utilize the texting feature for the entire length of the cruise.

Loved our cruise on Fascination, great ship for that particular itinerary. We're about to drop the hammer on a Dream itinerary in 2019 ourselves (cove balcony, here we come!).

My wife and I can't wait! Finally a bigger, more kid friendly ship for 4 & 5 day sailings coming to Galveston soon!

Yes there is. You can actually see what they look like on "Mr Traveler's" video tour of the Vista. It's like a 35 minute walk through.

They should have some kind of dispenser system. Until they figure something out, we have to put up with the non appealing way they do it now.

It would be nice if you actually got a NEW soda when you ordered. 9 out of 10 times. You get the rest of one of the leftover cans sitting there going flat before they open a new can to top it off. Which then creates a new leftover can for the next guest. I drink Coke Zero so, this is a big issue for me. No telling how long that leftover can has been sitting there. On top of all that, the fact that you don't even get a full 12oz is a disappointment.

I just got an email yesterday offering my wife and I to "upgrade" from our L-Shaped room with 2X balcony on deck 7 on the Valor, to a standard balcony on deck 8 for $22 !?!? It said higher is better. And, it said I'd be closer to the "fun". Hahaha! Ummm, no.... I'll trade the sofa for a 2X balcony. And, we'll keep our room on the empress deck. We want to try this type of room out anyway.

I hate you guys... 160 & 260 days and crawling! Oh the feeling...

I'm sorry for YOUR confusion. I am not confusing anything. We did not purchase an internet package. We paid the $5 for the hub app for all 4 of our devices. My wife and I were able to send and receive text messages to anyone in our phone book for the entire cruise. I mentioned we have Verizon, and I listed our phones so that may be an OS specific feature, idk... You can find other Verizon customers confirming this on these boards. So, once again, so that there's no confusion, this was accomplished by only using the $5 hub app on the Breeze.

Another FYI. I do know that with the $5 Hub App, my wife and I were both able to send, and receive regular text messages to anyone, for the entirety of the cruise with Verizon. Galaxy S8 and Moto Z Droid.

Dear Carnival,

Please send the Sunshine to replace the Freedom in Galveston.

Thank you...

Never had an issue with my wife taking the whole family's cards and getting us all drinks.

Each card has it's own 5 minute wait.

Thanks for posting. I am on the Breeze again Jan 28,2018

I hate you...

Hub chat and internet plans are separate. You don't need an internet plan to use the Hub app or the chat feature.

You don't need an iPhone or Facebook Messenger to text, at least with Verizon. Verizon has free wifi texting.

Was thrilled when I discovered this on the breeze. We all just paid the $5 hub app fee. We were free to text anyone on land we wanted. I use the Verizon messaging app. I'm not sure if you HAVE to use it or not. Either way, it's a great service!

Thanks! We were on this cruise too! It was amazing! (Except for sea day #1)

Our first cruise was on the Liberty. I didn't even know Camp Ocean was there until I went through the glass doors.

The Breeze had them in the mailboxes last month.

Where is the best place to park for the cruise? One that has security and monitored.

We use Galveston Park & Cruise. It's directly across the street from the terminal. They have indoor or outdoor options. Never had an issue. You can book online.

Galveston is getting Vista, breeze is leaving. This will happen next year

We sail in August on the Breeze from Galveston. But I don't know when it's leaving.

Okay all of you professional cruisers out there. I've searched, but I guess I don't know where to look. Where can a debarkation port "rotation" schedule for the Carnival ships be found? If any such list even exists. Thanks!

My family has Verizon. With the $5 hub fee, the three of us with Androids were able to send and receive regular text messages throughout the entire cruise. However, the one with the iPhone could not?

We did the same. We pre-ordered 1 Bacardi & 1 Malibu. I didn't put a dent in the Bacardi. Only drank half the Malibu. It really wasn't worth it for us. I don't remember if it says the size of the bottles or not. But, they are only 1L bottles. $85 is robbery to begin with. But, discovered the insanity of the prices once I realized they were 1L and not 1.75L bottles.

My wife and I took our first cruise on the liberty on April 18, 2016. We loved the ship. We don't think we will be taking our kids on it or any of it's sister ships. But it was absolutely perfect for us.
