Both drinks I normally get were up $3 from pre COVID.  Drink of the day/pina colada now $13.  Cuba libre now $10.

By chance do you recall showtimes for the ice show and main theater ?

The feature show times seemed to change each day from 7-8pm.  I don't know if that was port versus sea day related, but I did have to pay attention.  Everything required booking through the app and unvaccinated parties were separated to the balcony or one side.  There was one ice skating open session for passengers.

We’re the saunas/steam rooms open?

I did not use these, but did not notice any type of closed signs or mention of that in the Compass.

Playmakers is the sports bar located right next to the casino.

Despite needing to walk through there to get to shows and having the hottest server, the place barely looked to have enough customers to even stay open.

How is the construction of the renovation of the dock in Nassau coming along?  

It looked like they were putting the pipes in the ground and hadn't even started the building's foundation yet.

       Did you check out Playmakers on NFL Sunday?   Did you notice if the casino was crowded?

The casino was not crowded.  Just too much smoke so I left my mask on and finally felt like I had a reason to wear it.  I do not know what the other thing is so can't help you there.

Were most places in town open?

Nassau looked to have nearly all businesses in full swing including heavy construction building a new terminal.  We had 4 ships in port on a Tuesday.

Did you get to go to Coco Cay, if so, how was the pool water temperature?

I went in the ocean for three hours.  It was colder than normal with a heavy current, but I looked at the little tropical fish and had a great time practically undisturbed.

How full was the ship?

I did not hear any announcements about reduced capacity, but the shows were not crowded at all.  Plus they accepted my RoyalUp bid of $50 to move from interior to balcony so I suspect it was not full.

That is awesome, hope you had a great time.  What did you do in Nassau?  We are going there in Jan on Harmony and trying to decide.  Would really probably just like a beach and or resort, but not necessarily Atlantis as we have been there many times.

Thanks!

I just walked around Nassau.  The street hustlers were more aggressive than I remember, but returned to normal friendliness if I asked them a random question like for directions.  I saw three guys get a taxi to Junkanoo for $15.

This was my first cruise back after the shutdown so I'll try to answer any questions you might have and add a story if I have one.

I redeemed online in July and it hasn't been applied to my booking for this month yet.

I had two Carnival cruises COVID cancelled and they lost my FCC on one of them.  They admit their error, but will not compensate.  I now have three cruises booked on other lines.

We greatly enjoyed Chankanaab two years ago visiting dolphins and manatees in waste deep water for $62 each.  It included transportation and unlimited food and alcohol at the park along with everything else it offers.  We knew the pictures were going to be expensive so didn't even consider them.  Buy memories, not souvenirs!

My Clear card has $200 off $500, thank you OP!

Aha!   I was right!    Unfortunately.  😞   

Actually, all they are saying is you cannot walk up and book a room to get Atlantis tickets.  Do so in advance and you are fine.

We walked to the fort, queens staircase, chocolate, cigar, distillery, and back. Also looking at churches and things along the way.

I submitted the online form for price protection on my RU2 cruise while there's another still in my account.  Was wondering if any of you have done this online lately and how long it is taking these days.

I've not received a response in over a month from any of these methods to contact John Heald concerning an error Carnival made.  I only see him responding to people asking for freebies.

John Watling's for local rum and Red Turtle vodka!

Use the online form and request transfer to your on hold cruise.  There is no need to call or pay.

The FCC is split between the completed names for the cabin.  Assuming they don't screw up and send you a full refund on gift card and then refuse the credit you already accepted.

I accepted FCC on a COVID canceled cruise in June.  Seven weeks later, Carnival refunded the full amount instead of just the fees.  I didn't think it mattered because it was all on a gift card.  I was wrong.  They are now refusing my FCC because they sent the wrong amount.  Now what do I do?
