Don't let the flight forecast deter you from booking.

For the Vista European sailings I had over 60 cabins booked. More than half cancelled because they were afraid of the flight costs.

Now the cruise rates went down and the airfare is reasonable.

So many many of the cancelled guests are regretting their decision. (In the meantime they booked the regular Caribbean itineraries).

All extra charges are optional. Like specialty dining (Steakhouse, Chef's Table, Jiji, Cucina del Capitano) and you will have all the regular included dining options.

Upcharge - Imax theatre and the Thrill theater. Regular entertainment is included.

Not slamming, but this is clearly breaking the rules. Priority debarkation is only for Diamond, Platinum and FTTF guests.

If others need to be off the ship early they can do self assist or get a lower debarkation number. I'm sure there are other guests with early flights who would love to get off as soon as possible, but they wait their turn.

For the future - save the complicated things for weekdays.

In my experience with CCL customer service, they must have some young, bored interns manning the phones in the weekends who more often than not give out incorrect information.

Ugh!

Assuming this ended yesterday?:mad::mad:

 

I just saw the tip about logging out if you had something booked.

 

Now it's $99 deposit sale.

No savings there.

Yes, today a new 3-day sale started.

$99 pp for sailings 2 - 5 days

$129 pp for sailings 6-9 days

$199 pp for sailings 10+ daysas well as Alaska, Hawaii and Vista cruises.

Not really attractive. Carnival is earning so much cancellation money with people that book multiple cruises at the low deposits and then cancel.... They decided to up their game.

You check in and tell them that there are four of you in your party, no problem. We had the same last December on the Splendor. Ther were eight of us and my wife and I were the only Platinum, I checked us in and we always got priority seating.

Great news!!! Thank you!!

Any idea what happens if you're Platinum and the cabin you're linked to for dining is not?

I'm traveling with my parents and we have YTD. I'm Platinum and they're in a different cabin and are not Platinum.

I'm also on the April 16th Vista sailing. That cruise is selling out fast as it's Easter plus Spring Break.

Carnival is asking jackpot prices for triples and quads.

I'm trying to advice clients on the choice of 2 bowling alley options on the Legend.

Cabin 7258 or cabin 8232.

They want to be close to Lido, but I'm concerned about the noise.

Who has some good input?

Thanks in advance!

My February 2017 confirmations came 1 week after booking. Maybe you can e-mail them again or call Hyatt Place to check whether they have your reservation.

If there is a fare drop, I can't call my airline and ask for credit.

 

Actually, with some airlines you can.

I hardly ever reply on reviews as most people just say Thank You and flood up the review. But girl.... you are FUNNY!!!

This account puts me on that cruise with you and I'm loving it!

We have stayed there a couple of times. Good hotel, many shops within walking distance and they have an agreement with a shuttle company for $10 per person to PoM.

I can recommend this hotel for a solo traveler.

I've stayed at both and both are excellent hotels.

The Embassy Suites is massive, but the breakfast is much better there. Plus a manager's cocktail party with free drinks.

The Hyatt is kind of next door, smaller and cozier.

For the price difference, I would choose the Embassy Suites for the better breakfast and the free drinks.

This offer is for selected sailings. I was able to switch 2 bookings to this promo today.

You will probably hear chairs scraping. But since the Lido buffet doesn't close real late, I don't think you'd have a major problem.

Available on the weekend?

Yes, mine is available 365 days of the week, almost 24/7 (sometimes she needs to sleep ;))

If you have anything other than a standard question, it's best not to call Carnival on weekends....

Can you cancel if the weather won't be good?

You can't cancel on the day itself. If the weather is really bad, the ship won't be able to get to HMC and you will get your money refunded.

That cabin looks very small.....

Sorry you had bad experiences. If you had done some research here on Cruise Critic you would've known beforehand that:

1. The internet packages are always either per day or per cruise. Once you have a package and you upgrade, that will be your package for the duration of the cruise. Pretty straight forward.

2. Any old card would have been ok to keep in your card slot and keep your appliances charging.

Next time (if there's a next time), if you require anything from the steward, just flag one down in the hallway. They'll be happy to help.

Or go to Guest Services in person. Calling won't do you much good.

How were you notified when your balcony was assigned?

 

We are 48 days out, and when I log onto the Carnival website, it still says TBD.

 

We booked with a TA if that matters.

You're not notified unless your TA sends you an update. Just keep checking your Cruise Manager and at some point you'll see which cabin you got. Or... worst case scenario, you find out from the porters on embarkation day.

Nope. You pay for 2 separate cruises.

Great decision!! Newer ship and HMC!!!

Any ship that goes to HMC has my vote. Best anniversary cruise ever!
