I did several back to backs with he same room however like you I did change once to the room next door , and they cleaned the new room first, what I did was put all my clothes on hangers ahead of time and just carried everything that way , and put everything in the closet and then the few things that were in draws I threw in a suitcase dragged it over and I was all settled before we even had to meet downstairs at 10.00. They did offer to help, but they are so busy and It took us just a few mins.

definitely worth the money ... I would not do it twice but it was worth doing it at least once ... we did the Dream

Has anyone tried Pillory Beach in Grand Turk Did you do it on your own , do they rent chairs? Is there bathrooms? Is it private? Do they ask you to leave?

we missed it a few times but yes you get your money back for your cabana ..ours came in the form of OBC

Did they take you to a different port or just give you an extra sea day?

I am going on the conquest in May.

I was on the same cruise and it was my fourth time, on the Pride 23rd cruise all together and what a huge disappointment , the food went way down hill, our cabin Stewart did not give us the paper to fill out he just asked do you want morning or night service, we chose morning and that's all we got.

they did not have enough ginger ale to get through the week, with the soda card the adult pool always looked dirty , and the pool chairs were dirty, and the chair hogs were out there ...

we went to half moon cay had a cabana and at noon was told a storm is coming you must leave, they are calling people back , at that point Carnival blew the horn and we panicked and left we walked the trail all the way back in the lighting and thunder storm only to find tenders were stepped for a bit so by the time we stood in line and got back to ship it was an hour and a half , along with people from next cabana . the guest service did tell us he heard the horns and thought yes they are calling people back he called someone on the radio about refunds for cabana and they said the sun is coming back out go had back and enjoy .. we were soaked and cold no thanks ( yes that was my fault) I beat myself up all day . but it was still cloudy out at that point and i could not possibly walk that trail again in a storm if it came back

the rest of the week was awesome grand Turk and went to Dolphin encounter at Freeport and loved it very well organized

The comedy shows were awesome , the pizza guys burgers and burritos were all awesome as well .

just received my email that everything is still on for tomorrow with the same itinerary , if anything changes they will tell us tomorrow when we get on . That is great news ...

sitting here waiting with you ....

The people who will be flying into Baltimore are the ones with the real problems. When sandy hit up here PHL was closed for days.

and that would be me .... one more stress to add to my list .

we always fly in the day before when we cruise but because its not winter and its only an hour we figured no big deal, I will not do this again.. however I do have insurance, I am assuming if you can not fly in, and the cruise is still on I'm assuming that is covered , I hope.

This past June we actually sat in the theater waiting for our tender over to half moon cay for an hour while they decided if it was safe to tender or not , and then it was cancelled . as much as I was so disappointed the waters looked choppy and it was cloudy, so the captain took us straight into the sunshine and we had a beautiful sunny sea day , it was a good call.

Folks,

 

Here is the latest update on our current position as of 3:45 AM - October 1, 2015

 

We are cruising east along the northern coast of Cuba at 18.5 kts.

 

Access to the outside decks is restricted due to heavy wind and rain.

 

The most recent letter from the Captain states that we will dock at Freeport at 7:00 AM on Friday, and leave at 1:30 PM.

 

The letter also states that we will dock in Baltimore at 10:00 AM on Sunday.

I am so sorry you missed HMC , but glad your all staying safe, is it a rough ride,

I will be getting on this Sunday and sitting on the edge of my seat .

safe travels home to everyone on board

what would happen if they delay the cruise a day or two, do they put you up, if you flew into Baltimore

We leave tomorrow on the Pride - there is a one hour delay in getting in but current cruiser on the ship says they hit weather and needed to slow coming back up the coast. We have heard nothing more of anything that will affect us in that case. I know we'll be headed to the port at 11am!

that is great news enjoy your cruise !

I am going October 4th, I hope we do not get stuck in half moon cay for a week that would be terrible ...

we has 12 in June

I think it's important to note that you have to fill out and submit the paperwork before each cruise, in order to get the shareholder benefit.

 

In other words, just submitting the paperwork for a cruise this month does NOT automatically get you the shareholder credit every time you cruise in the future. The paperwork must be submitted fresh for each and every cruise you take. That's so that they can verify that you still own the stock.

this is a good point and I have put down more then one cruise that I had booked on one paper and had to re submit the second one as it got closer so if you did not get it resubmit

we were a party of 12 on the Pride and we were told right up front we could have 3 bottles and we only used two, so one couple had it sent to there dining room table for later in the week

I have been on the Pride a few times and never saw any children ... in that area

When I became a platinum it was the second half of a back to back so the computer could not pick up that I was platinum , so Guest services insisted I was not, I went down 4 times to try and prove it as it was it was so disappointing when you wait for so long and no one believes you , but each time they told me they were too busy come back in a few hours so I wrote a note and left it , and I received an apology call and a bottle of wine , that it was a computer glitch. and to come down and get my new card, I have to say it took all the excitement away .

my son was really looking forward to 50.00 pass at Margaritaville in Grand Turk, however it only included certain drinks which were rum drinks , so all frozen or rum and coke , no beer which is what he wanted and the food was one chicken sandwich or hamburger ... read the writing .. it was not unlimited food.

three weeks ago

I didn't attempt to use mine until the last night after 5pm, so I can't help you, but I do want to voice my opinion on this new "free drink" coupon. I feel like Carnival doesn't really want to give us a free drink, so they have made it only available the very last night (or for platinums, only in the MDR for brunch) in hopes that most will forget all about it. I think it's a pretty pitiful attempt to "reward" loyal customers.

that's why I did not use it, I had a choice of a pool chair or brunch , I could not have both after 22 cruises it was disappointing

everyone at my table used them at dinner on the last night , except me I was platinum so had to go without as I never made it to the dining room for breakfast ... how silly , same coupon same drink same dining room but different times to be used so actually the gold card had the better offer

I bought this on the Pride a few weeks ago used my IPad because I too was nervous , and I must say for anyone looking it was awesome for Facebook messaging posting photos well worth the $ 25.00

Guests currently booked on the Carnival Breeze will automatically be moved to the Carnival Splendor. These guests will be re-priced to the lower established price for the Carnival Splendor and receive a $50 per person shipboard credit. Alternatively, if guests would prefer to move to any other Carnival cruise, they will receive a $50 per person shipboard credit. In addition, if guests elect not to sail on Carnival Splendor or choose another Carnival cruise, we will provide a full refund.

this comes from John Herold ..... it states if you move to another Carnival ship you will get 50.00 per person .
