No problem…. Trust they assisted to show the differences between Great Bay and Coco.

Know one’s party will enjoy the ambience, plus excellent food/drinks and service at COCO

Isn't Coco on the French side of the island? Looks wonderful, but our day in St. Maarten there will be 6 ships in port. I worry about getting stuck in traffic.

Anyone know the address for umbrella street?

We are interested in a Culinary Excursion in the mountains of Roseau.  Chef"s name is Daria.  It's an off-cruise excursion and we enjoy the getting the true Island experiences and culture.  Any insights you have would be greatly appreciated.

It's been quite a few years ago, we took the cooking class with Daria. It was a unique experience. Food wasn't my taste, but we still enjoyed our time there. Daria has a lovely home in the mountains

Is Calabaza Catamaran still doing sailings in Barbados? We sailed with them in 2019 & had a fantastic time, Silver Moon is great also.

Anyone know if the Eclipse will be refurbished any time soon? I was looking at another website & information saying it hasn't been to drydock in almost 9 years.

Never sailed on Skyward, but sailed on Seaward 1996, first cruise, first time flying. It was awesome!

Cruise ships aren't allowed to make any noise in Charleston, no music, no horns. There are signs in the parking lot not to use your vehicle horn.

Looking forward to Freedom review. Sailing on her in February.

Which terminal does Carnival Freedom use at Port Canaveral?

I had hoped for a better ship than Sunshine (loved the Magic) and better itineraries. Tired of Bahamas, just nothing that interest me in Nassau or Freeport.

Since we can't name cruise travel sites. There's 1 based in Texas I use often. They don't list all cruise lines, but most that cruise in the US & UK.

Has anyone stayed here recently? What is your opinion of the hotel & area? Asking for a friend.😊

Has anyone stayed here recently? I heard the hotel was renovated. Pics look good, but also can be deceiving.

Our last cruise was 2010 on the Zuiderdam. Not much going on after 10 pm. Sometimes only 2 couples in the Crow's Nest & we were 1 of the couples.

During the day no music on the Lido. People were playing cards or napping by the pool.

We are leaving on the 23rd for Bermuda from Norfolk.

Spring cruises from Norfolk had some issues. Long lines & not enough personnel to handle the workload. People's cars were broken into & damaged. Parking wasn't secure & security was pretty much nonexistent. People pitched a fit (rightly so) they called police, city, news channel, & Carnival. That didn't get their vehicles repaired but the city, so I've heard have made repairs for the parking lot to be more secure & Norfolk police will patrol the lot.

Why were guests put in tents when they have a cruise terminal?

On our last cruise when filling out the check-in it asked if I had a CPAP and did I need distilled water. I did not add anything else and there was an extension cord in my cabin upon arrival. Doesn't mean this will happen every time but I have always been asked in the terminal if a cord was needed.

Interesting, my last cruise was this past April on Sunshine & I didn't see any information on the check-in process nor was I asked at check-in at the port. I ended up using bottled water that I purchased from Carnival & bottled water worked fine.

My husband now uses a CPAP and on our recent RCCL cruise, he completed a medical needs form requesting an extension cord and water and they were both in our cabin waiting on us.  Does Carnival not offer this service with a completed form?

No, Carnival doesn't offer an order form. It would be great if they did. You have to call ahead if you can even get a call through or order when you board.

Has anyone stayed here recently? I know it's older motel & not really close to the port. 

Last time we ordered test from postal service/gov. We were sent "Clinitest" by Siemens. Does anyone know if the test is acceptable?

About 6 weeks non expedited

My friend stayed at Home2 Suites this past Oct. & enjoyed their time there. Hotel is new.

Every time we drive down to Port Canaveral from Charlotte, NC, we stay in Kingsland, GA.  It's the last exit before the FL border and there are a wide variety of hotels immediately off of the exit.  (One you just drive across the street and straight into the parking lot.)

We are in NC also, but closer to Va. We did the same as you, drove to Kingsland Ga. Eight & 1/2 hours of driving. It was about a 3 hour drive to PC. 

We parked at the port this past Oct. & it was so easy to get in & out. We go again in Jan & that's where hubby wants to park.

I'm gold and was on the Sunrise in Oct 2021.  I was told I could only get our free drink in the MDR.  Seems like there is no consistency happening throughout Carnival's fleet.  Poor management.

You are right about no consistency. We were on Mardi Gras in Oct. & went to Guest Services. I asked about getting the free drink & was told "GOLD" no longer get a free drink. Then she said I will give you a free drink on your sign & sail card.
