Security screening was in Miami was not the cruiseline security staff.  My thought is that is why they allowed it.

Last year I cruised out of Miami.  Security there would allow people to bring all the wine, cider, and beer through that they happened to have with them.  When cruising Carnival out of Seattle would I be able to bring a 6 pack of cider with me?

Does anyone have experience with https://www.totaltestingsolutions.com/?utm_source=gmb&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=pennsylvania for testing for a cruise?  I am cruising out of California on the Navigator and have a total of 4 people needing testing.  I am hoping to be able to use their free rapid antigen testing for my cruise.  I have appts with on point testing just in case.

I have also read that testing is currently free at Universal Citywalk.  Has anyone used that?

I am cruising in April but will be staying in Burbank for three nights prior to cruising.  Had anyone used the following or can anyone make any recommendations on where to test?

Just wondering what the current perks are for staying in a suite.  My last RCCL cruise they provided free soda cups for everyone in the suite, free drinks in the suite lounge, and reserved/priority seating for shows.  Our favorite perk was being in a suite provided for free breakfast and lunch in the steakhouse (Liberty of the Seas).  

I assume they still are offering the suite/concierge lounge.  Do they still have the reserved seating section for shows?  Any other benefits such as early boarding?

I am going on a cruise out of San Pedro and am looking for a hotel that offers free pier and airport transfers.  Any suggestions?

I am seeking feedback on low cost / free weekend Covid testing for the April 4th Navigator of the Seas sailing as well as any recommendations on any hotels that might offer free cruise/airport transportation.

It has been a long time since I have cruised on Carnival.  I am seeking some feedback for dining with food allergies and also show times.  Currently I am booked to sail in August 2022.  

The last time I was on Carnival having early dining allowed guests to attend both early and late shows.  Is that still the case?  If I have assigned dining can I use anytime if I miss my dining time?

The last time I was at a Carnival buffet, given the piles of food a few select customers would consume, I would have thought that Carnival could just "hire" them and save the money on a digester.

I have not been on Carnival since 2004.  At that time early dining allowed passengers much greater flexibility on shows as the first show started at the same time as late dining.  Is this still true?  

Is service faster in my time dining or early/late dining?

What are the table arrangements / how hard is it to get a table for 4 instead of the huge group table?

Anyone use fttf on Panorama?  Just want to get a feel for whether I should bother.  

Let's be honest - the real issue for cruisers is how do you adequately enjoy your drink package with social distance and/or not being able to wander around drinking.  Let's not get started on wandering around drunk with your Pirates Pizza.  Only cruised Carnival once and it was an interesting experience in 2004 out of Tampa.  

Anyone have experience with Carnival dining rooms and a peanut allergy?  RCL and Disney were top notch.  NCL was fine but took much longer to get info.

Booked on Panorama

Just booked Panorama for Aug 2022.  First time with Carnival since 2004 - switched to Princess/Disney/RCL/NCL for past 9 cruises.  Looking forward to a Havana Cabana.

Don't waste your money on the go-karts.  Even my 9 year old complained about how sliw they were running and they shut us off after 5 laps.  They allowed one guy to repeatedly weave and block even after telling him to keep to the side so he could get passed.  We saw some earlier runs where people were shut down for bumping so we could not even use a tap to get around the slow driver.

Laser tag was fun, just wish the guns still had the straps but at least we got what we paid for.

What is the price for a single ride/play, price for unlimited single day, and price for weekly pass?

Do they offer unlimited laser tag options?  Would also appreciate seeing price of unlimited go-karts with the daily option, as well as full cruise.

Just buy a cheap booster seat by graco and it should be a free additional carry on with most airlines.  I bought a new one for $10 before Toys R Us was having issues but either way they are cheap, light and work.

A couple years ago I was on a Royal Carribbean cruise.  A couple months before the cruise they made an itinerary change as they needed to work on the adipod.  They provided 50% of the cruise fare paid as a refundable on-board credit, and in lieu of that people could elect a full refund of the cruise.  Has me thinking I made a mistake booking NCL for this summer.

When will they get the schedule out?

I know I can purchase unlimited go kart rides can I get something similar for laser tag?

I am a Pentax DSLR fan. Lots of good old lens options.

Edgewater or Marriott by the pier. Edgewater is as close as you can get and always novel staying is a historic hotel on a pier.

Does anyone know the menu for the sea day lunch for Suite guests in Giovanni's?
