cruzin4our10th

Can anyone tell me if you can open the balcony dividers between these cabins? We are sailing with friends and enjoy having one big balcony.

I think 5 months is the cut off, sometimes sooner. But I belive somewhere it says to be early saver it has to e 5 months, although I'm not sure where I read it for sure.

Just checked on our 8/2/14 cruise again today saved an additional $380 per balcony cabin for a total of $1900 on all 5 balconies we have booked. IL state resident rate

I have had issues with the computer taking my forms so since I have 6 cabins booked I just call the 800 number and have not had a problem at all and everything gets taken care of at once.

I have 6 cabins booked for the Breeze in August. In the last 3 weeks (mostly this last week) I have saved $3350 across all cabins. We have had a 5/19 final payment date, to a 7/3/14 date and back again. Currently all but one are 5/19/14 . . . .and same thing for OBC we've had it and had it taken away. I truly love Early Saver, but you do need to know the ins and outs of it and while Carnival should tell you if something is changing . . .it is your responsibility to understand how it works in general.

Thanks ~ just had to move our rooms as the whole purpose of the balcony for the girls was to be able to connect.

where on the cruise deck plans dot com do you actually see that info. I only can find pictures and information on weird balconies or noisy balconies but I dont see info on specific rooms whether I'm logged in our not.

Okay thanks I was on that site but I guess didn't pay enough attention. I think that all dividers will open it's just a matter of blocking a door or window. I wanted to get the girls upgraded while there were still 123 promo on pick your own room available. I guess now I need to study deck plans and find somewhere to move to . . .

John Heald said by mid May all will be out. It was mid May last year when the Breeze was finally released for this coming fall.

Sometimes my shows up on my summary pages on carnival.com where it shows whats been paid and such. But sometimes I have to go out and create my documents to see it. For awhile I had two different OBC, one from a future cruise certificate and one from price drops. Only one showed on my summary page but when I created my documents they were both there. Weird.

I saved $1220 on 5 cabins today with this promo for our 8/2/14 Breeze. Did look like there were 2 different 123 Promos and one was for assigned later rooms, which we didn't want.

Can anyone tell me if the balconies connect or can be opened between these two rooms? My PVP was out today but with the 123 Summer Sail the prices dropped enough that I decided to updgrade my daughters from their inside across the hall. It was lucky the room next to us was still open. I know the room is not adjoinging but hoping the divider can be opened on balcony if not I'll have to try moving rooms.

The Freedom is going to Galveston and new Conquest bookings will not open unitl 4/29/14 per the news release.

I've had no problem witht he guarantee as long as its a category ~ nothing works with the guarantee rooms.

In researching for our upcoming cruise, it appears that the Vista deck aft wraps have a large metal overhang overtop. Definatly no sun from pictures I've seen and maybe considered somewhat obstructed as they are always priced less than the other aft wraps (on Dream class ships only)

Downtown area is great, recommend the Intercontinental or Holiday Inn . . . however no downtown hotel has free shuttle. It is only a $7 cab ride to port though.

I see myself always cruising with CCL. As of now the port is close enough to drive to and that makes it affordable.

Do you always cruise of of NO? I have alwasy left ouf of Miami or Ft Lauderdale. Leaving dreary IL in the winter I want to feel the tropics from the get go and didn't know if we'd have that feeling out of NO. The Dream out of NO is on our possibilty list. But it does only have 3 port stops which I'd prefer 4 (or my DH would)

I've booked both ways and prefer through Carnival as it cuts out the middle man and I get questions answered faster and things taken care of easier. I know some say they wait on hold with Carnival but I've never had that as an issue.

We take one 7-8 day cruise each spring but our 25th anniversary is late September this year. We are booked at a Secrets all inclusive for a week for that. We love cruising but really wanted this milestone anniversary to stand out in our memories down the road and not try to remember which cruise we were on :D

 

Happy Anniversary whatever you choose!!!

I did just recieve a Sandals brochure but really not sure my husband would be thrilled. He likes being on the go. We always chose port intense cruises. And usually venture off on our own at each port. I haven't ruled it out. I'd really like to splurge on a suite or aft wrap this time. However we've been looking at the cruise out of SanJuan and I'm not sure I can justify that wrap balcony with only one sea day.

Our 20th anniversary is approaching and DH and I are trying (mostly me) if we should try somethign other than Carnival. Really for no reason other than just to try. We have always sailed Carnival and have never had anything bad . . .we're pretty easy to please. Not too say that some waiters and room stewards haven't been better than others but for us that is minor.

We have been on several of the same class ships and will be on the Breeze in August. Trying to decide if we should do the Valor out of SanJuan or maybe try out Celebrity, Royal or NCL. I won't pay more or considerably more for another line.

Thoughts or suggestions. . .

I too have been looking at doing something else, however I always base my cruise on the ports. My husband likes port intense cruises and we like to try new places.

I know our cruise isn't till Jan 2015.. but was wondering how far in advance they make available FTTF? When I got into Shore Excursions it isn't even listed as an option... Can't wait for my cruise.. already getting excited.:D

We booked our August 2014 cruise end of May last year and FTTF popped up on Fathers Day.

My parents just returned from this trip and we actually picked the week of the cruise based on the days we could get cheapest airfare. The flew down of Thursday as it was cheapest and stayed a few days. They had planned to go on Friday but the airfare savings was three times that of the 4* beach front resort on hotwire. We did get $372 out of Chicago. The weeks before and after as well as the Friday they wanted to go was $708

I have gotten my daughters their own room on our upcoming cruise. If they recieve Carnival gift cards/ cash can it be set up that they each have their own account within the room? We've alwasy had everything charge to one account so I'm not sure how it works. I'd like them to be able to use their gift cards and then have it overflow to my credit card. I'm not concerned about them over charging without premission.

We have used Aruba Watersports Center numerous times for diving. In December my daughter received her advanced open water certification with them. Before that her open water and originally a discover scuba course. My husband and I have dove with them as well.

 

 

 

They are a small "mom and pop" business right on Palm Beach between the Occidental and Radisson resorts and have been in business for many years. They are reliable and have responded promptly over the years to any of my emails.

 

 

 

If they do not rent chaises and umbrellas there are two vendors at the opposite end of the Radisson's beach who do. There is of course tons of watersports operators up and down the beach as well as numerous bars and restaurants.

Thank you! Is the beach there really crowded? Decent snorkeling from the beach?
