Ah, so those ambiguous tan areas are all decks? That's good to know! I was looking for striped brown like the promenade when I was looking through deck plans. Thank you!

Sailing on Breeze this month and wondering about secret decks. I've heard about the one forward on Deck 7 on some ships. Is it the same place for all ships? Do you just walk through the Deck 7 stateroom hallway to get there? And any other secret decks, on Breeze specifically, I should know about? It's hard to tell from the deck plans what is what. Thanks!

February is a notoriously foggy month in Galveston. Ships are often delayed getting into port. IAH is a good hour and 15 minutes from Galveston if you're speeding and with no traffic delays. Add 15 minutes to that if you're going the speed limit. If everything lines up perfectly with no problems, you'll make the flight. If there's any glitch, probably not.

Maybe the ports of call boards would be helpful? Here's the one for Hawaii: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/37-hawaii/

Thanks! Didn't realize there was a difference, but makes total sense.

If it helps your decision any, I think the Cheers price is $69.95 per day now.

Thanks. I have Avast as well. I'm leaning towards using my husband's phone instead.

Yes, still open in the sense that the other 4000 or so passengers would have the potential to get to your information. I'm just hoping that most of them aren't smart enough to do so. 😄

Thank you! Wish I would have thought to have done the same search. All 5 of these areas will be non-existent or at least limited, as we'll only be sending information in the Hub app. It doesn't sound like a hacker can get on your phone and "see" old logins or data, but rather they can only steal what you're doing in real time.

Thanks. I guess that's where I need more info: do they only have access to whatever I'm doing at the time on that network, or does being on the same network afford them the ability to actually get into a device (eg, my phone) and get anything from it (eg, my bank login that I used last week, though now I'm signed out; or my google password, which has stored passwords to other accounts)? I might just use the dummy device option if I can find one. Or force my husband to be the app holder, since he doesn't keep our entire lives on his phone like I do.

So what does everyone do for security? I might be able to dig up an old phone I can use just for the wifi. But it sounds like you absolutely have to have the app for everything, and therefore open wifi. Maybe I'm just paranoid about the risk of hacking? Does anyone here who's smarter than me think just signing out of my google account (and therefore all its stored passwords) would be enough of a layer of protection, or doesn't it work like that?

Hi all. Bear with me as I continue to ask random questions I can't find the answer for on Carnival's website! Is the free wifi network you connect to in order to use the hub app truly an open network? I don't usually use open networks without passwords, given the security risk, so wondering how it works on the ship. I know people aren't on vacation to hack into my phone, but it's a very easy thing to do on an open network, and I have a lot of sensitive info on my phone. I'm careful about passwords and virus/threat protection normally. Any info, tips, or advice? Thanks!

Sorry, Breeze. 🤦‍♀️

Hi y'all. I'm thinking of being a late-ish arriver. I live in the port city (yet this is only my 2nd cruise, because children 🤪), so I won't be in much of a rush. I'm thinking of letting the madness die down a bit before boarding. What would you recommend we bee line to? Will anything not be overly busy? Secret drink/food options we should check out as soon as we get on before everyone else finds them? Thanks!

Thank you for this! I couldn't find it. Nice comprehensive list! I don't see on those screens where you can just jump to the arrival window as ms. z suggested above. Assuming it's just somewhere in there once I get in?
