Not sure if this is new or not but we booked Liberty March 25 departure yesterday. Got an email that for $10 we can get the test at the port as part of the embarkation . Anyone have a chance to try this?  We signed up, but was curious if anyone has done this and then be told sorry we ran out. 

I was on Horizon last week. I didnt go in the piano bar but it looked pretty darn full in there. No other areas like Liquid or Limelight had any seats not used except some marked with a sign for handicap people. Limelight where the comedy shows were packed wall to wall. The show One Night Only is the best show I have ever seen. I highly recommend not missing that one. Such talented musicians.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to remove a guest from a reservation without canceling the room? I don’t want to lose my deposit on 2 rooms but our 3rd guest won’t be able go. Cruise is next summer 2022. We have 2 rooms booked with 5 guest currently. Will be changed to 2 people per room . Anyone ever done this ?

Booked this trip 569 days ago.  Pre Covid...who knew what would happen between then and now.  

 

We are FINALLY in single digits for our 8 day on the Horizon.  Now just to get over the testing hurdle and I will start to relax.

We must be on the same cruise !! We are so excited !

We are 13 days out from saling. I have 6 tests from EMED but only need 2 so we will take 2 with just in case we see a panic couple at the port needing a test. I picked up 2 test kits from Walgreens which is the same thing just the at home kits to test ourselves before we call the proctored test

Can I do that on an iPad from our hotel in Florida?

Yes you can.

The EMED test that is proctored are the best option in my opinion. Test as home anytime 24/7.  I would buy a test kit at Walgreens to practice prior to the real thing just so you know how they work. Have your paperwork in 15 minutes to your email. We leave on Oct 16 and we are using these. We are vacinated and had covid in Nov 2020 so I am not concerned at all about testing positive.  

If you follow Cruise with Josh on youtube, Peter was using Wifi for calling on Mardi Gras to call home when they were quarantined. My wife used it when we were on Vista every day but its been a while, We have Verizon and I use it all the time because where we live we have poor cell service. Here is a screen shot of a call on it right now

On the premium package you can also call home with wifi calling. 

Thank you this is great

I am not really a drinker, but interested in trying some new drinks. There is just so many and I dont know the names of the drinks. Whats your favorite and I will look them up and see how tasty they may be, and when I go to order I won't look like a newbie ! 🙂 I like rum as my favorite but I get a rum and coke pretty much 100% of the time because thats really all I know. 

Actually I did get one and my FTTF is gone as well 

I have Horizon booked for Oct 16th and we havent recieved any FTTF cancelation yet. Wont be too disappointed if it is.

How do they know we get free drinks while playing? Do they put a sticker on our card like bubbles has? I don’t see anything on my booking   Now that says we get them but I did book a casino special

You asked about it last Friday and now you've already purchased FTTF. Have a great cruise. 

Oh, please come back and update us if they cancel and refund your FTTF before your cruise. Carnival wants to generate revenue from FTTF and many people always asking about it here. We'll assume it is a go for Oct. until someone posts that they were refunded.

Thank you I will. I see you are a fellow Buckeye as well! I live just north of Columbus . I just so happened to check for FTTF and it was available. Figured why not? 

I purchased for my Oct 16 cruise. The guest service line and room ready when booking was enough for me to get it. I cant see anywhere saying it would be canceled and refunded or even know why they would even allow it to be purchased it that was the case.

If they change it to 2 days, then we are really screwed.  Cruising on 11/27, flying 11/26 and Thanksgiving on 11/25 (our 2 day window).  Where do they think we're going to find a place to test us on Thanksgiving.  Furthermore if we tested negative when it was a 3-day window, then think about all the possibilities for infection between Wednesday and Saturday.  People with family the next day being Thanksgiving, going to an airport and mixing with hundreds, getting on a plane and then another airport with hundreds more.  Do the math I could pick it up anywhere along the way.  Testing is just a distraction so the CDC can make like they're really doing something.  What a bogus operation.  Don't bother disagreeing because I don't really care what you think.

I got the emed proctored test. Is that a possibility? 

Was wandering if anyone has ever seen the FTTF come open after the final payment date? I booked a cruise that was already past the final payment date and I know some FTTF come open around this time. Anyone ever see it come open at random after that or am I wasting my time checking it 50 times a day starting at 5am? Last time i got FTTF it was about 4am one random day prior to final payment on our last cruise a few years ago. Its on the Horizon and shows sold out so I know its available. 

Mine ended up working a few hours later about 2am . I talked to Carnival the next day and she said they had some issues all weekend and they had multiple calls about it. Mine is all set and paid on my casino rate. 

Nope not even giving me an option to hold it. Its a casino rate. If I select a promo that isnt a casio rate it gives me the option to hold now but its 10x the price of my promo

I have a promotion ending tomorrow. Been trying for a while to get an booking to go through. Tried multiple cards, called my card companies, tried paypal, debit, even the uplift and it always says WE COULDN'T PROCESS YOUR PAYMENT. PLEASE TRY AGAIN OR CALL US AT 1.800.764.7419. Anyone else having this issue? They close at 9est so there is nobody to even help with today

Received the shore excursions refund today. 

Could anyone recently canceled on Mardi Gras post when the get their refund. We had 7 cabins booked and so far received $100 from one payment I made through PayPal. 

I took the refund. Do I need to physically go into the cruise manager and cancel the cruise? Or once they process my form automatically cancel it. I dont want to hold up my refund by not canceling the cruise myself. The email and directions never stated I had to but I thought someone had posted on here once before they had to manually cancel it 

Anyone know what happens if you get a refund on a paid off card? I have a $4300 refund coming from carnival any I already paid off the credit card I used. I don’t really want a negative balance. Do credit cards typically give you a check in the mail for over payment?
