Right here on cruisecritic.com is the recipe for the chocolate melting cake. Look for the link to Readers' Favorite Cruise Recipes

Please find out if they rent snorkel gear and how much if they do. I have asked twice on these boards and the same reply form the same poster says, "No." But snorkel gear is still listed in the rental items list on the Carnival website.

We are going it alone in a couple of places so will not have access to snorkel gear provided on excursions. Since we only need it twice, I hesitate to buy unless the rental cost is prohibitive or Carnival Legend does not rent snorkel gear.

Thanks.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions on a place to stay in Tampa. I really appreciate the input. I feel sure we will find the perfect place from your suggeestions.

Thank you Keishashadow. I will do some research on your suggestions.

We are flying to Tampa from Texas the day before embarkation (October20). Anyone have suggestions on where to stay?

There will be 5 adults in all--2 in 60s and three in late 20s. I would like to house us in one room to save $$$. A small suite with two doubles and a sleeper sofa would be idea.

Also, we need to either walk to the port or have a shuttle. I guess we could take a cab also.

Just wondered if anyone knew a place that was great, inexpensive, and might have a shuttle to the port.
