Is there a limit to how much of your cruise balance can be paid with gift cards? Like can I pay off an entire cruise using them?

No limit. You can only apply nine gift cards at one time. If you want to do more than that, you have to call. 

Not much. Buy now and reprice if it drops lower.

No questions, looking forward to reading your review.

Thank you for the wonderful review.

Try calling a PVP, or a site like Vacations to Go or Crucon. There may be held cabins that have not been turned back in yet.

Hope you get to see it soon! I have had one cancelled call due to weather, and at least one cancelled cruise. But my other visits were successful, including one in 2021 which was very nice as the ship and therefore the island were operating at reduced capacity.

I feel you. I am one for four. It is frustrating, it really is a wonderful stop.

Oh yes you can. Depending on the ship, try the Cuban bites for breakfast and lunch too. Right at the inside Havana bar. 

It is OBC, not a discount on the cruise. It does not matter who you book with. Download the Stockperks app, it is very easy to claim the OBC. All they need is proof of ownership.

Definitely Aft. Great views

I am a solo. If I go to a specialty restaurant on the first night will I be able to get the complimentary bottle of wine?

Yes, I  cruise solo and book the steakhouse the first night for the wine. The house white is not bad, I  like it.

It all depends. No one can give you the right answer

Why start this again. Tip if you want, don't tip if you don't want. Don't ask for justification to remove tips.

Both of those things you can check when you board. Easy to get a table for two.

If the spa cabin is $350 total, that is less than the cost of buying the weekly pass.

I don't know, but Facebook AI loves to rehash old information into "new" stories these days. Could that have been it?

Nope, the funnel is on fire for the second time.

Both are good for kids. I like the Mardi Gras waterworks better, and the food options. I would take HMC over Nassau, although sometimes it is missed because of rough seas. I like that the Vista has balcony cabins in the family harbor. You can't make a bad choice with either one.

I sail solo and do YTD only. If I like the waitstaff and the table, I stop by on the way out and get the same waitstaff and table for the rest of the cruise. I love sailing solo.

You can request the same table and waitstaff for the cruise. Just stop on the way out and ask. Very easy to do.

I always do MTD, it allows me flexibility and I do not have to be there at a certain time. If I like the table and waitstaff I request it for the week. 

Book everything early, you can always reprice if the price drops.

I love them. I wish some people would follow directions though. Maybe it should be part of the muster drill, how to use the elevators

I know this is a dumb question but does the salmon have bbq sauce or is it just bbq’ed lol. The name needs clarification!!! I love bbq‘ed food, not so much SAUCE! 😐

Not a dumb question at all. It has a light coating of BBQ sauce. The andouie sausage and potatoes are amazing.

What ports? I love the Vista, and I  would take a 6 day over a 5 day unless the ports were much better on the 5 day.

Unfortunately not. They are supposed to add one when the ship is in the next drydock. The spa manager said it is the most requested spa amenity peopleask for. Some people cancel their week long pass when they see how small the area is and that there is no wayer.
