CruiseLee104

I was well worth it to me! On a five day cruise my sister and I only drank the wine we brought and the bottle of rum. Any time we were in the room we made a drink and put it in our insulated cups. We never really had to make any trips to the room just for that. Just when we went to change, drop stuff off, or nap. We mixed with juice, lemon-aid, coke, and ginger ale. I will 100% do this on our next cruise as well.

Come during the new time. We were suppose to check in at 12 but had a delay due to fog this past Saturday. We arrived at 1 as requested and went through the on time line which took less than 20 mins. Others reported that when they had to go through the early/late line which took closer to an hour.

Our 43rd cruise leaves this afternoon and it's only rained a couple of times on embarkation day. We were never made to go out to the lifeboats during the muster drill when it was raining. Enjoy your cruise - we loved the Valor.

Thank you for such a quick reply! Enjoy your cruise [emoji16]

I am sailing on the Valor this Saturday! We are over the moon excited for our trip despite the weather forecast. It is my understanding that the Valor still does muster out on the deck, does anyone know if this is still the case when raining?? With forecasted lightning? Should I pack a rain poncho in my carry on? (Probably will anyway)

I've been on many Carnival Cruises and each time I cruise, I go to the Steakhouse. I usually go on the first or last day of the cruise. It's worth the extra money to me!

How much is the steakhouse?

There is a brand of mixers called Mixwell. They have a pretty good variety and come in 12 oz cans. That would be a good way to be able to not be stuck with n one flavor combo.

 

 

Sorry for being repetitive. My post above didn't show up for me. Anyway, this is the brand I was thinking of. I read you can get it at some Targets and Walmarts too.

I had never heard of those! That is exactly what I am looking for. I live in a pretty rural area but maybe I can find some on my way through Houston.

1. PVP is a Personal Vacation Planner(they work for carnival) and in my opinion is the best way to book

 

2. I don't think this will be a problem. Worse case just book your cabins and then request extra keys from guess services and switch once your on board

Why do you think the PVP is the way to go? I have always booked online and wondered if it would be better [emoji848]

If you carry it on the ship, each passenger can bring on 12-12 oz. unopened cans or cartons of juice. Canned juice or juice boxes would make good mixers with rum.

Yep I plan on it! I am more so worried about maximizing this. For example I don’t want to bring orange juice if I can get it in the morning for from the lido. Thanks for the link though.

We always get the bottomless bubbles to use for mixers.

I did consider this, but feel like I can get by without it for the most part. Is it something you can purchase for the last two days or is it an all or nothing?

They have a passion-fruit guava juice blend that I LOVE... it's great with rum, vodka, tequila... you name it! But they only serve it at breakfast so it pays to bring a quart jug that you can fill in the morning and keep in your cabin.

I was hoping this was still the case, but couldn't confirm it! Thank you!

I am very excited to be sailing on the Valor 13 days! My sister and I pre-order a white rum and are bring a wine and a bubbly. I am looking for ideas to make this best of my free (sorta) drinks and not get bored! While I do love rum and lemonade, I am not sure I want to drink it none stop. What are the best things to bring as our allowable non-alcoholic drinks vs what is available on the ship? Is orange juice still available in the morning for everyone or is that only with the soda program? Any other juice? I am assuming I can find lemons, limes, oranges, jams, and sugar fairly easily, but do you have any other unique ideas. Must haves to bring besides coke, club soda, and pineapple juice?
