Oops Valor April 2nd
-
I made an error in booking FTTF. I booked both people in one room and only needed the room. I finally figured out how to edit my order but before I do I wanted to give a heads up when I do. There will be one more out there so if someone needs it let me know and I will tell you the exact time I let it go. This may work out for someone.

Thank you for the info.

We will be on the Valor in April with 25 family members. My questions are: Is there a ping pong table? Is one elegant night more formal than the other? Will there be any theme parties like Caribbean night, Pirates night, ect?
-
The soloist is TJ Carter, she is excellent. You can find her on Facebook and YouTube.
Wow!!! That's a lot of minor irritants.
-
They do not have South African passports. I just want her to be sure that she's sure about her docs.
-
Our ship embarks and debarks at Port Canaveral. The stops are Belize Roatan Cozumel and Costa Maya. Belize may be ok but I am still unsure about Honduras and Mexico.

My son's girlfriend will be going with us on the Valor in April. She and her mother have been in the states for 5 years and have green cards. I know Passports are now required for sailing so I called Carnival regarding what documentation she needs. They didn't have a clear answer and suggested calling the consulate. The consulate sort of read an answer that was vague Will her green card and drivers license be enough to board? It would be devastating for her to be denied embarkation.

My husband Rick and I live in Cartersville. We are on the Valor in April for my youngest son's graduation. We let the older two take a friend on a cruise the Spring Break of their Senior year. There will be around 25 of us from Carrolton, Villa Rica, Temple, Cartersville and Chattanooga.

We cruise in April during Spring Break. For Christmas I was thinking of giving my sons and nephews a back pack holding a few things for the cruise. A couple of ideas are ear buds, hand sanitizer and lanyards. Any other ideas?

When we were in Cabo we got a ride in a little cart pulled by a guy on a bicycle around town. The guy on the bike asked us if we wanted a moon light tour. Not knowing what that was we said sure. He dropped his shorts down in the back and proceeded to tour us around town!:eek: I took a photo but don't think I should share it on here.

We have AT&T and will need to check in with work from time to time. Are the cell phone minutes considered roaming in the Bahamas and St Thomas? I'm referring to in port as opposed to on the ship. Thank you for your help.

swim suits for all is an online company. They have wonderful clearance sales. I'm 5' 11 and hard to fit. They were wonderful.

Two things that I found at Walmart today. A pop up hamper for $6. It's a little bigger than a frisbee and popped up to be 3 feet tall!! The second thing was a clear card holder with a retactable lanyard for a dollar. They were located with the men's wallets in the men's department. Perfect for sail and sign cards.
-
I just found a three prong adapter with a nite lite built into it. It was at dollar general for 2 bucks. I bought 3, one for each of our interior cabins.
-
Went to Zumba for the first time yesterday. I joined a Fit Camp last Monday meeting Mon/Tue/Thr and wanted to stay active for Saturday. I had a wonderful instructer but I'm about as coordinated as a rock. At least the lights were turned down. It was a great cardio workout and I plan to do it again next Saturday. I want to lose 20 lbs by cruise time. We'll see.

Items added to my basket
Triple Outlet Adapter
Make up Remover Clothes
Glow Necklaces for the kids
A cool bottle of Spray Hand Sanitizer
Mesh Laundry Bags
Two LARGE Plastic Wine Glasses
Cheap Sunglasses
Some Neat Packing Bags in size Large and XL
They have a handle and would be great for keeping shoes seperate from clothes.
A box of Dryer Sheets (to keep dirty laundry from smelling rank)
Plastic Rain Ponchos
Ear Buds for the kids DSi
Did I mention I have a rather large basket?:o
-
I picked up a over the door shoe organizer. Tomorrow I'm going to the dollar tree to pick up a few things. All of the things are going into my cruise basket for packing soon for my cruise. I figure picking up a few things here and there, I won't spend very much money all at once. Also went to TJ Maxx and bought DS 3 bathing suits for 7 dollars each. Into the basktet they go!!

1. Buy a couple of photos on the last night only. You have every poses to choose from and won't regret buying a less desirable pose earlier in the cruise.
2. Book excursions off the ship. The smaller groups are more intimate and more locally flavored than the hearding of many passengers on the ships excursions.
3. Have the room steward empty your mini fridge and stock it with sodas that you brought on board. You can also keep two bottles of wine chilled in there.
4. Limit yourself to one momento per port that reflects the locale. You can only own just so many t shirts and magnets.
5. Buy only what you love. DH loves a massage at the beginning of the cruise. I love sitting on the Lido deck with a book and a bucket of beer.
He spends 100 bucks. I spend 20 and we're both just as relaxed.
6. Take advantage of the free little things. Order milk and cookies from room service. They're the bomb and absolutley free.

Our first cruise was without our children. I knew I would miss them. Before leaving, I purchased 5 blowup beachballs with smiley faces on them at the dollar store. Everyday I would blow up a ball and toss it into the pool with the kids. Listening to them squeal and watching them play made me think of my own. I became know as the "ball lady" which was very cool by me.:D

My sister makes a drink she calls a (pardon the term) Monkey Boner.
It sounds like a banana daquari but the name is certainly entertaining.

Thank you for all the info. I think we will get the cruise length social media pkg. There are two babies due around our cruise time. My sons girl friend has a little sister due that is a high risk pregnancy due the day we get back. Also a girl in my office is due two weeks after and I need to cover her duties. I hope she keeps her knees together til I can get back. Lol. But we can stay informed with one of these packages.
