We also have to use the pullman and trundle for our OV room. Kids aged 17 and 12. Was wondering how we manage the trundle during the day? Can we leave it out if we like or will steward put it away each day (figures it makes cleaning the room easier with it out of the way?)

I'm a blackjack player myself....anyone know what the shoes are like?

I mean this as my own personal opinion and not an indictment of anyone else's so please don't attack. I do understand that kids like some space and down time from parents and the "organized fun". However, I go on vacation with my children to be with my children. We spend so much of our daily lives split up between work, school, dance class, lacrosse, gymnastics, friends, etc that we relish this uninterrupted time together. My DD's are 17 and 12, so I will feel a bit more comfortable with them traveling around the ship together, but I definitely wouldn't be ok with my 12 year old being on her own with kids whose parents I don't know. Both have indicated that they are uninterested in the kids' club primarily because they would be split up due to age. That may change as the cruise progresses. My kids are well behaved and respectful, but even I'm not naive enough to believe that they are angels 100% when Mom and Dad aren't watching (long time middle school teacher!).

Does the Safe Sea lotion really work or is that just a waste of money? I'm thinking we are going to have to hit a different beach (no water toys) if that is the case, because no way will I be able to keep my kids off of the trampoline, swing, etc.

Thanks for the info. I have flown within the US for years without even considering a letter and have never been asked at an airport for anything. I guess that's why it never occurred to me that the cruise would be different.

Thanks. I certainly didn't mean to imply that she's no longer a minor at 17. I guess the question should've been more location specific. Is a closed loop cruise out of san juan considered "out of the country'? If an adult doesn't need a passport (proper ID of course) to travel on this particular cruise, would you need permission for a minor? I don't need paperwork to fly to Puerto Rico, so was just curious if the closed loop had the same parameters.

ok, so if this has been asked and answered I apologize in advance. Traveling with my 17 year old daughter on a closed loop caribbean cruise out of san juan. she will have a passport (her last name different than mine). Will I need the paperwork from my ex? Wasn't sure if her age makes it no longer a factor since she's considered a quasi adult (birth cert no longer enough).

I put the app on my phone, so when do you add the $5 chat feature? At GS on board? Prior to boarding? From your device on board?

Thanks for the help! Still kind of new to this!

Wow. sorry.

Can you point out where on aarp? I went through their gift card list and didn't see it!

Pretty sure I didn't get any promo goodies, so yay! Thanks!

Sorry! Carnival Fascination in July. Southern Caribbean itinerary.:) Final payment date is end of April

Booked an interior cabin a month ago and now the ocean view price has dropped to be the same as interior. What are chances I can ask to "upgrade" to the OV for the new price?

The $500 ones are gone already as well. No clue when they posted it. Checked it last night and they weren't there. Checked a few minutes ago, there they were and already sold out. errrr!
