I like Stella and Aurora. Nova I'm on the fence. Does Carnival need to reuse past names? Just curious...

I just read the article by Couch-Friedman and it had even more insight and detail about Sandra. I hope other cruisers heed this information and don't book with Sandra.

We have cruised on Sunshine a number of times (love it!) and if your family enjoys Asian food, JiJi's is delicious! Dishes are served family style. and I have always had great service. It is an upcharge ($24/adult, $11/child 12 and under I believe) but it's totally worth it! If the airbnb you are staying in has a pool, the kids could splash around until it's time to go to the ship. Like others have said, 1:30 arrival would be less crowded. I hope you and your family have a wonderful cruise!!

Hi JB! Of course my RS books don't have Nynashamn listed as a port. 😬 I used GoogleMaps and I think it's a bus rather than a train with a transfer to get to Stockholm? I'm on Miracle as well. TIA!

What’s a travel router BlerkOne?

DH and I do this all the time, he’ll say “I’m kicked out, you can sign in” kinda like tag😁

Love this❣️Looking forward to more review 😁👍

Awesome!!🎉🎉🎉

Please let us know how that goes at embarkation. TIA!!

I have every RS book known to man and nothing on Hamburg or Kiel.🤣 Thanks for responding!

Great info! Would you know about travel between Kiel to Hamburg? DH and I are porting in Kiel and none of the many travel books or TripAdvisor have information (other than a private car for $1,000/person, no thank you!) regarding Kiel. I appreciate any and all insight!

So what I gather is that I should be able to take a taxi from the cruise port in Kiel to the train station and book a ticket there to Hamburg on a Regional train and it should get me to Hamburg in a little over an hour? Same procedure coming back to port in reverse? TIA!

@SDPadreFan I have a note in my calendar to ask you about something regarding my upcoming Carnival Miracle cruise from London on June 8, 2025. Unfortunately I didn't write down what that "something" was🤣. Do you remember? TIA!

All top notch! The best sushi we have ever eaten and that includes Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills served by Matsuhisa at his sushi bar before he blew up and became huge and his many restaurants.

Not that I have experienced LSD but I would imagine this to feel/resemble something like that!

I didn't see that!! Find out for me when you go to Tokyo🤣

Awesome experience! TeamLab Borderless was beautiful, immersive, overwhelming at times and I would do it again. There is TeamLab Planets which has participants walking through water which sounds interesting but I'm glad we went to Borderless. Definitely check it out!

We left you some rum since Craig was drinking mostly Asahi and I was cooling off (it was so hot!!) with cold sake. Glad you could join the party!😉

I asked for Desperado by Linda Rondstat and they couldn’t find it. I didn’t think to ask if they had The Eagles version of Desperado so keep that in mind when you’re looking for a song👍

2010 out of Port Canaveral, only stop in Nassau. 3 days celebrating my bday with my sister, her husband and my husband. Had a blast! Now we are coming up on cruise 26 on Carnival out of Baltimore to Bermuda!! Can’t wait!!😁👍

Please do tell where you are cruising in October? Inquiring minds want to know😜

@IntrepidFromDC you would appreciate this restaurant!

After my experience I was told about a page dedicated to Sandra’s shortcomings on the site that shall not be named. Seems like she’s mad a lot of people upset. Like you said, enough people have had positive experiences so she’s still in business 🤷🏻‍♀️

We experienced issues with Sandra’s Cruise Tours on our Carnival cruise that ported in Santorini and fortunately we made it back to the ship. I emailed her about the issues and she responded that she would address these issues. After reading this post, I would never book with her again. Thanks for posting!👍

You are correct!! I have found great information and advice from the POC boards for all my trips. 👍😁😸
