pandncruisers

Thank you so much for this, we are scheduled on a b2b in November and I feel like I know the ship.

Thanks for the info we are looking at Maya but we will need to use their shuttle since I am recently healed from a foot stress fracture.  Does anyone know if the hotel shuttles have to wait in the same line to get into the port or do they have a different way in?

Wow I definitely think we will do a hotel with the park and shuttle.  Thanks for the info and hope getting to your next cruise goes better.

How long did it take you to get to the offsite parking and back to the terminal after you dropped your luggage and passengers?  What time was your actual Check in time?  Once you got in your timed check in line how long did it take you to get through the check-in process?  We are thinking of  doing a hotel with parking and shuttle but not sure yet.  thx

My understanding is Panorama is now parking offsite it could be 1 of 3 different parking lots.  We are supposed to get notifications from Carnival with the instructions.  Past cruisers are saying they ate getting the notification only 2 days before their cruise.  I have heard it is taking over 1 1/2 hours to get parked.  you need to go to the terminal drop your luggage and passengers, get a ticket from a parking attendance with the instructions where to park.  There are shuttles to the different parking lots and some are saying to verify what lot the shuttle is going to that you get on.  We re on the 5/25 sailing and have not received an email yet.

Any one on the panorama that has sailed since the parking offsite started?  Since we are on a b2b most hotels will only do 7 day park & ride, hotel Maya will let you park longer but at $38 per day.  Has the off-site shuttle service improved both for getting on and off the ship?  How often Do the shuttle run back and forth? Any and all information is appreciated.  Thx

We are going to look into a hotel with the parking as a backup but I called CCL and was told what they had in their records is Panorama will be parking at the port after the 5/11 sailing.  We will see.

We are on the Panorama on May 25 and we have a large truck.  Does anyone know if we still park in the over sized lot at the terminal or if the offsite parking lot handles over sized vehicles.  We are also doing a b2b so if the offsite lot will that charge the parking for both cruises on day 1.

We left the Sonesta at 11:30 and were at the pier by 11:50 and on deck with a drink in hand by 12:15. We had a boarding time of 1:00pm and had planned on waiting but we were onboard in a flash.

 

We also came down on Wednesday prior and had a wonderful time at Palmas Del Mar and a day trip to Culebra.

 

 our check in time is 11:30 so that sounds perfect. We just love PR, We are staying in the Condado so beaches and Old San Juan for us.  Thanks

We are flying to San Juan Wednesday for our b2b starting Sunday so Will be following along.  What time did you get to the port and were they already boarding when you arrived?

Many airlines will not accept luggage without an external address. 

We have never included our address on the outside of our luggage and it has never been a problem.

We had the same email for our 11/12 sailing on the bliss

11:45 departure is cutting it close especially with your in-laws.  We would not do anything sooner than a 2pm flight.

Great pics Thx For posting

I can't see where the pictures are posted, can you let us know where they are.  Thx We just booked the Viva for next year and would love to see some pics.  Thx

I am at 125 days today and just booked our dining for our 11/12 cruise.  Didn't try to book any excursions.

We are on the panorama next week deck 7 aft suite and our tags are bright red

Sure I will see if they have any

Thx for the responses.  I assume this is normal for check in then.

We are in a suite on panorama and when we checked in online at the 16 day timeframe we got a 11:00 to 11:30 check-in time and a b02 boarding group.  Is this normal for suites out of long beach.

I think it is 4

I read cc for help and info, some things posted here are offensive to many.  If you do not like where the cruise lines hire their help from don't cruise but  their help comes from all over the world including the USA.

new to Carnival My husband usually goes to the bar to get our drinks can he get two if he has my card or do I need to start getting my own drinks?

Deck 12 has family clubs mixed in with non family clubs. We usually stay on deck 10 club balcony where there are no family club next to us.  Just our preference.

Thanks for the link this will be the first time out of LB for us.  We drive a larger pick up truck so we are assuming we won't fit in the garage.  Does anyone know if the adjacent lot for over sized vehicles gets full or is there plenty of parking?
