49 days, on the Glory

Be warned you have to buy some sort of visa to go there, CCL takes care of it, even for Canadians. My friends are going this summer, and asked about it. Also you can only get Cuban currency in Cuba. They, the stores, don't take US$. At the pier, there is a kiosk or office or what ever, and they are prepared for you, give them $50.00US and they'll give you the equivalent, minus a charge of course, + about $42.00 ish Cuban. For speed, use $50.00 increments.

Google goportcanaveral. We did that for our Feb cruise. There you can book hotel and transfers. We got a hotel in Titusville and transfers to and from the ship. They were awesome.

Just like to know where people get these ideas?

Message: People are writing on Cruise Critic that the perk for us diamonds to go to our cabin as soon as we get on the ships has been TAKEN AWAY. They are writing the higher ups at Carnival are ordering you to lie and deny until they're ready to take it public. TELL THE TRUTH – IS THIS A PERK THAT CARNIVAL WILL TAKE AWAY? IF IT YES SAY SO. STOP LYING. -------CRUISE LINE WILL MATCH OUR DIAMOND LEVEL BE WARNED!

I have answered 4 different posts about this today already so let me politely say two things. 1) - we have not and will not be changing the rule that allows Diamond and Platinum guests entrance to their cabins upon boarding. 2) “ ordering you to lie and deny until they're ready to take it public”. The beards have never and would never do this and if I was asked………..I would refuse. Oh and 3) FFS - -cant the people on the Cruise Criti boards find something to talk about apart from me……….how about the joys of cruising maybe?

Cheers and thank you everyone for the loyalty that all of you show this brilliant cruise line.

When we were getting our S&S cards in Port Canaveral boarding the Magic, the lady taking care of us, said that The Pig & Anchor "might" be open, and it was. We met a friend from 2 years ago, (Sue my cruisewife), and she showed it to us. It was good, and included.

696 for us, woo hoo.

I'd be happy with it. I like free things. maybe good for excursions.

Nice vid. Can't wait to sail the Conquest in Nov.

I believe many people who look down their noses at Carnival have never tried it. The guest mix reminds me of the people I see at the grocery store in the small town where I live. It's an incredible mixture from all walks of life, all colors, all ages, all needing to eat.

 

Paying more doesn't always mean getting more but it may keep some people in their comfort zone.

I agree with you, especially the last line. When we were researching our Hawaii cruise, 15 days. We saw a 14 day P cruise for a lot more.

mainly b/c they used to known for their short (booze) cruises. 3 and 4 day cruises, just one island. I've been on 6 CCL cruises, 2 P. and a few others. I've seen more fall down drunks on the snooty P cruises than on CCL.

264 on the Conquest.

FYI, it's now $79.99

I was just told that Carnival only does cabin service once a day now in the morning. Does that mean there is no turn down service at night? What about doing the upper bunks at night?

you have a choice, if you want am and pm you'll get it.

No they don't. I was on the triumph about 6 weeks ago

Exactly they way I think about my sailing in about the same amount of days.

Per cabin.

Thank you

Is that $50.00 for however many people in the cabin, or per person?

411 long agenizing days. But when we booked, we were 600+ days out.

You know I've never checked either, hmm.

These days that's not excessive, with digital photography. We just did a 15 day to Hawaii and I took 700 pics. Would have been more, but we were at sea for 9 days.

No, it is $49.95 per CABIN :-) it states that in the description - I know when go to purchase it lists everyone, but just select a person and pay - have done this numerous times now :-)

How cool is that

Hi there - lots of active threads on this with tons of opinions, but for us, yes

Absolutely worth it - $49.95 for the whole family to get on quicker, to the roman right away and be able to enjoy ourselves without lugging our stuff about - love the priority tendering as well - we never get the ship early so don't take advantage of that feature LOL but I have heard that works really well too.

 

There are a couple of other perks as well, but those listed above are the ones we use constantly when we take FTTF and we love it....

I just looked into it and it's $49.94 a person.

Anybody have a good pic of the souvenir blow fish glass from the ships?

We have a Palm Tree Xmas tree. Anytime I'm on a ship I look for Xmas ornaments and that's what goes on the tree.
