Does the Vista have the smart elevators

When we sailed on her in May we were almost 2.hours late and our uber driver said it is very common 

How picky are they at long Beach with boarding.  My hubby is platinum and his brother and wife bought fttf. The sister that is going with us but has neither.   Will she be able to board with us?

There's a blood test for that. 

True there is a blood test for antibodies.  That being said the complete immunity from covid is not completely understood.  In if the Immunity comes from the T cell  immunity can not be detected .

Encore 37  I am sure everyone is curious about when cruising will start back up.  And when they do what will the restrictions be?

I am looking at the Pride leaving out of Baltimore Dec 27, 2020.  Just curious what the weather will be like .  Will I have to take warm clothes.  What will sail away be like.  At what point will the temperature change to warm?

where in Indiana ?

south east Indiana  we are closer to Cincinnati airport than Indianapolis  

I have been looking for flights to.  Today out of  curiosity I clicked surrounding airports both ways.  Looks like it is cheaper by 210  a per person.     A one way car rental from the airport is cheaper than transportation from Orlando to Port Canaveral.  Any thought or suggestions.

Jabee we are on deck 10 forward for the same cruise

I never felt unsafe in either port.  In Belize choose your excursion wisely as it is a tender port and the tender is approximate 30 minutes.  As for Mahogny Bay, the beach right there where you  dock is beautiful.  We did an excursion that was not Carnival and it was one of the best ever.  I felt more threatened in Progresso Mexico.

As a non-smoker, I completely understand that when I enter the casino, I am entering a smoker's environment.  There are very few non-smoking slot machines (not areas, machines) surrounded by other smoking-allowed machines.  I understand that, as well.  It's a choice that I make.  I do wish, though, that Carnival would (1) improve the ventilation system and (2) enforce the non-smoking designation at the non-smoking machines.  I have found that smokers tend to take over the entire casino as though they are entitled to it, including smoking at the non-smoking slots.  The casino hosts refuse to enforce it.

I live in southeast Indiana and have at least 6 casinos  that have non smoking areas have been to each of them.  It has been my experience that the  non smoking areas are fuller than the smoking areas.  I am a non smoker and the find the smell offensive.  Last years on the Dream was the worse  casino for smoke smell.  Three of the Casinos are on river boats and the smoke smell is never that bad.  I did not spend much time in the casino on the Dream.  

I love reading your reviews and seeing all of the photos.  you do an amazing job.  Congratulation on your degree.  I just graduated with my BSN in May.  I can say I  am so glad it is over.  It was not my idea but I wanted to keep my current job

I will say the snorkeling  Mahogany B ay was the most amazing place I have snorkeled so far.  We booked directly through Daniel Johnson.  The entire excursion was amazing

we will be sailing on the Breeze in Oct.   We have been on the Dream but not the Magic.  I have not found a Ship I did not like.   What did you feel are things that are a must to see or do on the Breeze?  What ports did you  go to?  If possible can you post photos.

how do you know where your muster station is prior to boarding?

Notarized letter signed by both parents allowing you to take the child out of the country. Also, in the same letter, explicit permission to allow you authorize any necessary medical care should the situation arise.

 this is what I used last year when I took my granddaughter.  always include permission for medical care, you never know.  We has one young person traveling with a group of seniors taken off our ship with alcohol poisoning.  Always error on the side of being prepared.  I was never asked for my paperwork.

we were in Mahogany bay  last year and my mother in law took  a bicycle cart to the shopping area and the price was not bad.  we were able to rent a taxi right outside of the shopping area to take us to the place to meet outside tours.  The actual port are is very nice and spacious.  The each is very nice also 

so  how one is a cruise director usually on a ship at one time?

We just asked our room steward when we first saw him.  Of course we did tip him extra

I would email the Maitre  D two weeks before you leave making the request to have late dinner seating.  Explain the situation to them and they will try to work it out.

here is a photo with the balcony divider back.  this was on the Dream in May of 2018.  it is a nice way to go between rooms without a key but you have to keep the balcony door unlocked

I had my granddaughter with me last may, she stayed in a room with my mother and sister in law and we never got asked for Id or documentation when leaving or boarding the ship except for embarkation.  All they really asked for then was her birth certificate.

I just got hubby one from Wish app on my phone. it came promptly and is as nice as mine and was not that expensive

I felt like it was noisy most of the time. I will never stay in that location againn
