Thank you for the info so far!   We do like Red Frog Pub and Alchemy.  Only Valor has Red Frog Pub. Mom likes piano bar too.

Looking at a 4 day for my niece 26, mom 80, and myself 48.   Mom and I have sailed a lot.  Niece has never cruised. Mom is slower to get around now.  Ports are not a big concern.  Overall Ship condition is important.  Looking at a balcony or possibly suite for extra room.  I was on Liberty in January 2019.  I have been on Valor, but its been awhile.

Let me know your thoughts on:

Liberty

Victory

Paradise (Does it have a Lido screen?)

Valor

Thanks!

We are looking at an extended balcony on the Pride. They seem to be in the notched out sections of decks 6 & 7.    The life boats are located in this same notched out area below on decks 4 & 5.    Do these life boats obstruct the view down to the water from decks 6 & 7? 

Any one have pictures from the balconies in this area?

Thanks!

Do the Past  Guest rates have price protection on top of the 2 cat upgrade?   The wording in the details were not as clear as the price guarantee on the Early Saver rate.

Some day we will do this itinerary, but I think we will wait for a different ship.   We sailed Sensation as a brand new ship in 1994.  I know with this many ports you aren't on the ship as much,  but still think it will be too big of a step backwards.  We don't mind a smaller ship, it is more the age.

Thanks! 

We are looking to cruise Carnival out of San Juan, but really do not want the "Ation" class ships.  Do they ever swap ships after reservations are open?  

Thanks!

We are looking into the Pride out of Baltimore. We love smaller ships, so this may be a good fit! Thanks everyone. Now to research the Pride!

We have Havana in June and know it will spoil us!  Next year it is either Havana again or great Serenity.   Sunshine is very limited in sailings next summer.  4 and 5 days out of Charleston.   Hmm...

Looking to plan our the 2020 trip.  Which ships have great Serenity areas.  Waterfalls.. or pool or hot tub?   What are the newly (and to be) refurbished Sunshine/Radiance/sunrise like…?

Thanks!

I'm back and wanted to report back.

Cocoa Beach Shuttles was great!   Our flight into MCO was delayed almost 2 hours.  We landed after 9pm. They were great about adjusting pick up. No problems! 

We did return shuttle from port to MCO with Cortrans. They were great also.  Off ship by 7:30 and at airport around 9am. 

Recommend both companies!

Thank you for the review!  Who was the CD for your sailing? We sail real soon!

Thanks! 

Going with cocoa beach shuttle.  Thanks for the suggestion! 

Okay! I have an email in to Cocoa Beach shuttle. I also looked into a rental, but coming in higher,  so I need to look into that a bit more.

Thanks! 

Thanks!

We are at country inn at the Port.

We land at MCO on Wednesday evening and are staying at the Port Canaveral  that evening.  What are our options for transportation? 

Obviously we have uber and lyft.   Any other options?   I know we could stay at MCO, but prefer to be at port. 

Thanks!

Thank you for the info!  I usually pick my cabin, so I have never worried about upgrade.  We have Havana next summer, so no changing that one! 

I had an upgrade offer from interior to interior.... so I turned it down.  I never saw any other options.  Now I wonder if I missed something.  Only a quick weekend getaway so I guess we'll be fine... we're on a ship! 

Thanks.   I will print our my email confirmation of purchase.

Is there something I should see on my boarding pass that indicates I pre-purchased?  Currently cannot see anything?

Thank you! 

We leave in January!  Thanks for the review!   You mentioned that some were dressed up for elegant night.  Did you see casual in the dining room too?   For just a 3 day get-a-way, we were hoping to limit the packing a bit.  Our last 3 day on NCL was casual.

Thanks!

Hi!  What was the dinner attire on 3 day cruise?   Usually more casual.   Can men wear dress shorts and golf shirt?

THANKS

Are the staircases in the Havana Area (corners interior) accessible to guests or staff only?

Thanks-

We have been to Poncho's two times, but it's be 10 and 25 years ago. We are docking at Punta Langosta this time.

Where is Poncho's in relation? Did I read that there was a second location?

Margaritaville: Just wondering if I heard that an original location has closed and relocated? Not interested in food..just memories.

Thanks so much!

Do you remember the cost of the phone package that you got that allowed you to text?

Thanks!

Ok.. since I cannot edit my original post, I will update it here..

We are flying into FLL now because of a price drop. I was thinking we would stay in FLL hotel and take SAS in on Sunday morning, but we are arriving at 2:30p, so maybe we should shuttle in on Saturday afternoon into Miami.

Still looking for reasonable hotel for 4 families (12ppl).

Nothing too fancy, clean and safe with a quick breakfast.

Thanks again... and so sorry for the shift in airport!
