Thanks for the review! We'll be on her next month for our anniversary except we're going north. -
Viewing Alaska Fjord on Splendor?
RazorPokesHoney replied to craig01020's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
We did this at the beginning of May. The views are so much better. I'd highly recommend it. -
The day after we got back from the 5/2 Splendor sailing, I had a sore throat and tested positive the next day. I only had mild cold symptoms for a couple of days. It took almost 3 weeks to test negative on an antigen test for me. Hubby never got it. Glad you're feeling better and enjoyed the great review. 🙂

It should level out once you get into the Inside Passage. We were on the 5/2 Splendor and the first day at sea was rough. After some ginger ale, Dramamine and the wristbands from the gift shop, I was good by the evening. Hang in there, it'll get better!

Port Valet at SeaTac - Carnival
RazorPokesHoney replied to ScottsSweetie's topic in West Coast Departures
We were on the 5/2 Splendor and we did not receive any port valet info in our cabins either but it would have been nice. We did the self-assist debark and was able to get a taxi and was at the airport around 8:30. It all went fairly smooth. But they really need to take Carnival off the site as an option since they're not participating to avoid the confusion. -
Sorry, I misunderstood. I agree that it could be risky. I've seen the claims that the rapid naat is a pcr and would work for the 72 hours but we wasn't willing to risk it. If all else fails, several in our group made appointments with a mobile testing service in Seattle that came to them but it was a bit pricey. As for the ArriveCan, I only showed the qr code at the port on my phone. I did however print our the receipt from them and did a screenshot of the code as a backup. There was so much involved plus the uncertainty with it being the first cruise, I was paranoid.

The rapid NAAT at Walgreen's works. I not so sure they care the time of day. We tested on Saturday morning and boarded on Monday. I put everything into the Verifly app and it was accepted within an hour. I showed the app when we checked in and was sent through. I did have hard copies just in case we had any issues.

We just got back last week. We did the whale watching with Hoonah Travel Adventures and they were wonderful. Their boat would easily fit your group if it's not sold out.

I look forward to your journey. Being on the first sailing out, there was some bumps but overall we had a wonderful time. That first day at sea was a little rocky so some Dramamine on hand might not be a bad idea. Tracy Arm was the first thing we bought. It did sell out and they added another boat, it's well worth the money. We did the train in Skagway, whale watching in Icy Straight, and bought tickets to Mendenhall on the dock so we'd have enough time to explore. Bought my gift card through AARP since I'm hoovering around that 50 mark and saved 10%.

It was the son, I'm guessing that is Casey. We'd like to go back so if we're able, we'd give them another try.

We was there last week. We were originally booked with Glacier Wind but our captain tested positive and we had to rebook. They were excellent with communicating with us and recommended Hoonah Adventures. They were wonderful and the whale watching was great. I don't think you could go wrong with either of them.

We were there last week. I saw many people walking but I do not remember seeing any shuttles other than those who'd booked excursions. We did whale watching there so we shuttled to town.

Splendor - Cornhole boards available on board?

I'm with tx121, I never saw them when we explored the ship but could have missed them. -
Carnival gets serious about ArriveCan in Seattle
RazorPokesHoney replied to Ferry_Watcher's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
We were on the 5/2 Splendor. I had everything ready, showed my verifly when we checked in, past that there were people checking to make sure we had the qr code and there was a great number of people who had to step out of line to download the app. We did get off in Victoria just to go to the gift shop and they did not ask to see anything there but some of our table mates rented cars in Skagway to cross the border did and didn't have any issues.
