  1. That's the exact same itinerary as our trip this coming May! We booked the Sea turtle farm excursion for Grand Caymen. Sounds great for all ages. Ocho Rios we are doing the bobsled. But for your family the 3 yr old wouldn't be able to unless over 46 inches. We don't have anything planned for Cozumel. Probably a beach day for us. Just curious as to what ship and when you are going! We are May 7 on Conquest.

    We are in the Vista leaving out in April 16th

  2. Just got back from the Carnival Splendor for the 8 day Southern Caribbean itinerary. Loved the ship and the crew, nothing but nice things to say about the experience.

     

    Thought I would share a few notes on how my wife and I felt we got the most out of Cheers while on board.

     

    A) The Steakhouse has a nice rose champagne by Heidsieck that is $20 per glass and very nice. We each had 3 glasses with dinner on embarkation day and this alone made that day a big value.

     

    B) Roca Patron Silver: $15 per shot at the pool bar. Incredibly smooth, goes down like water.(Also goes great stirred into a Margarita after 5 minutes ;) ) Don't forget to pace yourself !

     

    C) Order your favorite frozen beverage, wait 5, and ask for an additional shot of your favorite ultra premium liquor on the side to stir in since they frozen drinks can taste pretty weak.

     

    D) Asking for Pellegrino at the beginning of our MDR meals and request the large bottle of still water with dessert to bring back to the room or off with you in port.

     

    E) Hitting the coffee bar before breakfast as well as after dessert/before night activities to get some pep.

     

    F) We noticed that once we started tipping $1 per drink (in addition to the auto gratuity ofc) we started (1) receiving increasingly generous pours by the bartenders as the trip progressed and (2) being given priority when bars were busy with MDR waits /busy comedy club nights, etc.

     

    Now if we could just go back...

    I didnt think you could get shots on the cheers package.

  4. We just booked the Vista for April 2017. Can not wait. It will only be our 2nd cruise. First one was this year in fantasy. Does anyone have info on the specialty resturaunts like prices and what's the best one. Really interested in the steakhouse and Guys burger place. Thanks. Also any other tips for a 2nd time cruiser on a larger ship.
