The rooms should have little white arrows between them to indicate connecting.

Good Morning? I have a question about embarkation in Charleston. If 2 people staying in the same cabin are traveling from 2 different areas and get to the port at different times, can they check in separately? They have FTTF.

TIA!!

A BC is ok for closed loop cruises, however, if something were to happen and you needed to fly home, you would not be able to without a passport. Food for thought!

We sailed on her in January and had FTTF. We arrived at the port at 10:30 and they started boarding at 11:30. We were the 3rd group to board after Diamond and Platinum. They sit you in a separate area from general boarding. Our stateroom was ready and our bags came very quickly. It all went very smoothly and fairly quickly. It was worth it for Debarkation as well. We did self assist and we were in our car at 9:15 am! Priority Tender was great too. They had a separate elevator and we walked right on the tender.

It was worth it to us! We had a great time!

Check out my review of our recent sailing aboard Carnival Fascination! Feel free to ask me any questions! I will answer them to the best of my ability!!!:D

The reason I asked the question is that it would be extremely hard to get the letter signed because the father is, let's just say, far far away. But we will definitely do our best to get it.

I would call CCL to see what they say you should do!

You may want to consider having this on hand. I have heard of cruisers being denied boarding because they do not have consent from the other parent. Would hate for your vacation to be ruined by something so easy to obtain.

I placed an order for some surprises for my son several weeks ago and encountered the same thing. I emailed the Funshops through FAQ and they had record of it but stated they do not send emails or put it in your booking info for fear of ruining a surprise. They had everything in order so I am not too worried!

I am sorry that this has turned into such a negative post. I was simply trying to help my fellow cruisers save some of their hard earned $$. To the person who is questioning my character and integrity, you do not know me. You have no idea what my character and integrity are like so do not question them.

To those that had success with the code, AWESOME! To those that did not, I am sorry!

And hit apply. Shouldn't I be able t see an adjustment to what I am being charged before it goes through?

You should see an adjustment when you apply. I found a 20% off one but it did not work so I stuck with the 10%. http://www.retailmenot.com/view/carnival.com Worked with no problems yesterday!:)

Hey All! I just booked an excursion for our January cruise and found a Promo Code on RetailMeNot for 10% off. It worked great! $$$$ saved!

Happy Sailing!!

There is a whole section on HMC in the Ports of Call/Private Island Forums!! Lots of info there!!

Now where did that "dislike" button run off to???:confused:

For those that do not wish to mix with the "commoners" on a cruise, there are other cruise lines that have "special" areas for these "special" people. There is even a ship being built as we speak that will have "classes" and the "classes" will NOT mix. Sail on them if you cannot stand to be around regular people. Oh wait, Platinum and Diamond card holders put their pants on one leg at a time too? The horror!!:eek:

Seriously, if you are going to complain about every little thing while you are on VACATION, please do not come near me. I personally go on vacation to get away from all that junk!:)

You should investigate the insurance policies, as many do not cover pre-existing conditions unless you buy at the time you book the cruise. If you have booked a while ago, but are just now making final payment and taking the insurance, it may not cover pre-existing, so you should check that out. Certainly, its easier to book with carnival, but you will save money and have more options of coverage going through a 3rd party insurance carrier.

YES! You never PLAN for something to happen. You may want to think about buying it at the time of booking next time. Depending on the company, you get some automatic upgrades to your policy such as a Pre-existing Condition Waiver. Have FUN!!!

Where is the "LIKE" button for this conversation?!?!:D

Paradise October 2002 out of Miami for our Honeymoon. It was a Non-Smoking ship back then.

Thank you for this review and I am so sorry for your loss. We are sailing on Fascination in January, 2015. It will be our 8 year old sons very first cruise. I will think of you when we sail away!

Forgive me if there is a thread for this already! Do they have Pirate Night on all the ships? We are going on Fascination in January for a 5 day. Also, is it kid friendly? TIA!!

Hi all! FTTF for the 1/17/15 sailing on the Fascination is now open. I have been checking several times a day and it is finally available. Act fast to score yours!! It is under Shore Excursions! Good Luck!!:)
