I found this on the Carnival site. That tells me we will not made a birth certificate in addition to the passport card.

U.S. PASSPORT CARD

With that said, the Pig and Anchor Brewhouse on the Horizon has all 4 or 5 of their in-house brewed beers (Red, IPA, Wheat, Stout) on tap at the bar.  The brewhouse is very nice too.  We missed the "self serve taps" that were on the Vista, which, at .29 ounce, were about 25 percent cheaper than getting the beer at the bar.

 

I concur the Pig and Anchor Brewhouse is a very nice venue but you pay a slight premium to have the bartender serving your beer.

Thanks for the clarification! 

Thank you so very much!

Question on the pub....you were disappointed that you could not get red frog there-(I will be new to CCL in 40 days so I have no reference point...) but...did you try the brewhouse options? I had previously heard good things...

Thanks for verifying

 You also omitted the Caribbean as a place where foreign authorities accept the passport card for cruisers (with very limited exceptions). 

Thank you! So my bottom line is that his card will be accepted where we are going and I do not need to pack his birth certificate. Thanks!

 But I totally get that a U.S. passport card would be more than good enough for many people that do not intend to travel by air out of the country, and are content to travel by land or sea within North America, Bermuda, and the Caribbean.

Thank you for specifying the other countries, to add more peace of mind for me. 

We would prefer not to get his passport renewed until he's 18. I thought of it as part of the graduation present and would get him more years of trouble.

Yummy! Thanks for the photos. Let me know if you hear word on the juice & cheers question-i keep looking for ways it would make sense for us, lol.  We are excited to try it all in 42 days!

...and here you have it, the skillet cake. Think of it as a triple thick pancake with a sweet sauce and some sort of crumble on top, along with what appear to be house-made marshmallow squares and ricotta cheese. They serve it with syrup, but it is not needed as it is plenty sweet already. Mine was maybe just a tiny bit doughy inside? I ordered it with a side of bacon and the chia seed pudding with coconut milk and topped with banana and strawberry. 

 

The skillet cake was decent for what it was, but I'm not in a hurry to order it again. I did not care for the ricotta cheese, although it seems to be a popular accompaniment to gourmet style pancakes these days. 

 

After trying this menu twice, I can't help but wonder if their corporate chefs have been dining a lot at First Watch lately, as that is what both of my meals reminded me of. The frittata was excellent, easily beating what I've had from chains like First Watch on land, and the parfait and chia seed pudding were both good as well. The only misses were the skillet cake and the brunch potatoes, in my opinion. 

 

Although I did not try one, Carnival is clearly pushing the cold pressed juices hard, as both the hostess and the servers tried to upsell me from the free orange juice. No word as to whether the juices are available on the Cheers plan or with your free gold/platinum/diamond free drink coupon, although the coupon does not mention juice? 

 

If you are onboard the Carnival Horizon in the next few weeks, be sure to stop back on this thread and let us know what you think of the new American Brunch menu?

It seems John cant go one single day without mentioning Cruise Critic and its members in negative light.  The funny thing, his loyal band of followers are much worse than 90% of the members here.    Dont get me wrong.  I have no problem with him at all and I do follow him on Facebook.   Its just childish to hold such a beef with this place and its members when I hardly even see his name mentioned here, much less in a negative light.    Thats all 🙂  

I find the comments on his posts way nastier than  the ones here, although certainly some of that here. With my first CCL cruise coming up next month, I often hope that the people are kinder in person than online.

That'd be me. 

 I thought it was me....well...I commented in support...

Thank you for this thorough review!!

Would those cold-pressed  juices be included in Cheers!

I was so excited to see an update. Come back, please!

It was available for Southwest, Delta, United and Allegiant when we flew on them.

Thank you! We will fly Delta this time and it is available.

Why do people constantly post this false info.  A PASSPORT CARD IS A PASSPORT - IT IS ISSUED AS A CONVENIENCE TO THOSE THAT ONLY CRUISE CLOSED LOOP AND WHO DRIVE ACROSS THE BOARDER. 

 

The card is great.  No one, wants to carry a passport book when swimming, and going to the beach.  However, the card can be carried at all times with you, without the fear of getting wet.  It is issued by the government, and it requires all the same info as the book. 

 

The only drawback, is that you can't get on an International flight and be allowed to "enter" a foreign country.  However, if you have a card, and you have some sort of emergency, it is much easier to work out the solution, since you are already in the data base with a passport.  It makes it faster and much easier to get the proper travel authorization if something happens, which is rare, to get to the USA. 

 

LET'S CUT OUT THE SCARE TATICS AND JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION!

Thank you!

Completely agree, why would anyone get a "card"?

 

When we all got our first passports 2 years ago, hubby thought the card looked "cool" and he wanted the kids to have some sort of portable ID. That's why we have cards...

I posted a while back about my son losing his passport...we planned to just use birth certificate and ID....but I was surprised that online registration accepted the number from the passport card. 

I thought the passport card only worked at "land crossings," like to Canada and Mexico...but are ports considered "land crossings?" Will his passport card be sufficient along with his license? Or do we also need to bring along a copy of his birth certificate?

TIA

This is a video about our exact cabin.

how did you book? I would just ask.

I called Carnival to book the cruise.

what cabin do you have?. most of the cabins i seen with the beds from the wall/ceiling only work best when the beds is configured as two twins with the beds along the wall. It is may be impossible to have a king bed with the beds folded down from the ceiling.

We have a family Harbor Suite. It is supposed to have two twin beds that can configure to a king size bed. On the other side of the room it also has the couch which converts to a double or queen, with an upper Pullman above that. I actually saw a YouTube video of my exact room. The beds in the video were configured as a king.

I do not have the edit button. I would show a screen shot but I cannot figure it out, lol.

In your cruise manager where you see it saying 2 twins, it says "edit" beside of that. Click on 'edit' and specify how you want them done. 

 There is no edit button next to the bedding...
