I will enjoy the bottle of water. I don't think we have ever used the drink coupon.

Hope they are easy to apply to OBC. :mad:

Super easy...there is even a kiosk where you can do it yourself.

As above....stay on ship time and there will never ever be a problem.

None for me...the information is out there for you to decide yourself on what is best foe me without a salesman guiding you whose always additional interests to fulfill other than you.

I needed a couple more but found they were sold out. I picked them up from my Citibank rewards site.

That's it.

Wow, I thought Carnival gifts cards could only be bought direct from Carnival? Does anyone know where else we can buy them from?

I get mine from either my Citibank Credit Card or Verizon Wireless rewards sites. I can exchange points for 10% off. I completely paid for the cruise with GC's and have enough to add to my OBC to cover Cheers. I basically saved 10% on the entire cost of this cruise.

Anytime dining is the best no matter what.

 

If you are feeling tired and unsociable you can have a table for two.

 

If you want some table mates you can ask to share and meet new friends.

Yup...to expand.

Sleep in a little from a late night...late breakfast....late lunch....then go to dinner later when you are actually hungry.

Up early on a port day....early breakfast....early lunch....then go to dinner early when you are actually hungry.

Make your own schedule instead of trying to make yours fit theirs.

Of course. You do not need passports to travel the Caribbean by ship anyway. The regulations being quoted are by air.

I just can't fathom not researching to see what is included, especially something as important as food.

Ouch....good luck.

I recommend Anytime on every ship. I will gladly wait a few minutes to dine on my schedule and with who I want. If you don't show up when the doors first open there wait is normally minimal. I have waited several minutes to be seated on assigned time dining also. No difference.

New rules say you have to carry it on, a case of water fits nicely in a duffel bag. I just strap it to the top of my rolling carry on suitcase. Though I have put it in the same duffel bag with a luggage tag and had it delivered just like always even since the change. I will probably chance it again next time. I don't think they will confiscate it, worst case you may have to go pick it up.

The Carnival steakhouse doesn't compare.........its use to be way better .....but they went the way of Royal Caribbean.......

Funny....lots of people are really happy with it including myself.

It should be 12 - 9.

Generally cheaper rates have more restrictions, more expensive rates are more flexible.

It is better to split the bottom bed into two twins when the room had pullmans on each wall. That way you have a twin on each wall under the pullman and space in the middle to move around to access the bed. It suck you can't sleep with your spouse but you have two kids above you anyway....lol.

O have looked at this menu several times and don't see what anyone is complaining about....great range of selections.

If I have a room with a sofa I want it to be open for seating. The last time we had one with both and I my teen in the pullman. Last think I wanted was to not have anywhere to sit because when I got up for coffee when he was still in the bed.

We were asked once for the marriage license out of a 1/2 dozen times. It is a public record in the county where they were married, just have the get an expedited copy. It will usually arrive within a week.

You will never find an area that has 0 risks. Just bring some repellent if it bothers you.

I used the e-cards to pay off the entire cruise and will buy enough to cover pretty much all our spending including Cheers. Easy way to save 10% across the board on the trip.

I really like the looks of the new menu. It is closer to my personal preferences than the old menu.

As above....5. I was having to wait that long to get a rum floater for some of the frozen drinks.

We never have any significant wait even looking for a 2 top. The first rush is the busiest and it tapers off from there. We usually ended up going around 7 on our last two cruises and were seated immediately most times, sometimes we waited 10 minutes.

I do wish they would model the RCCL system. You can pick your time and make reservations which limits any potential wait. They have screens you can view from your room and from various places around the ship which shows how busy the dining room is projected to be broken down in 15 minute increments. It takes the guess work out of it. You can make a reservation and know you will be seated immediately or know if you show up at a busy time you may have to wait.
