I stayed in 1202 port side on the Panorama last October and it was great. Loved having the light in the cabin and it was very quiet. Great for coming back on board on port days. I have 1205 on the Firenze in August, that’s starboard side so I may hear the anchor but I’m early so it won’t matter to me. I would have no problems booking these cabins.

Another awesome review! Thank you for taking us along with you. Always enjoy reading them and appreciate all the work that goes into it.

I’ll be on Deck 1, starboard forward on the Firenze at the end of August. I’ve never been on Deck 1 but I’m thinking it’ll be fine. Cabins above me and I’m assuming I-95 is below me. Maybe except for the anchor dropping in the wee hours of the morning for our Cabo stop. 😁 If I’m not mistaken, the Firenze got the statue of David from the Pride? Loved my Pride cruise many, many years ago. Have an awesome cruise!

I think you're going to have to be really diligent in checking multiple times per day for a cancelation. As others have said, I wouldn't wait for someone to notify you. I would think there would be cancelation between now and sail date. Best of luck to you!

Thanks and I sure will. 😊

Yeah, not having cheers on the second leg would be a bummer. I went ahead and booked the Firenze for 8/31/24. It's a milestone birthday cruise and will be my 20th Carnival cruise so I'm excited about it.

It would be a b2b with a 2 day but I agree, a longer cruise is always better, so that extra day is great to have. 🙂

Thank you for all of that information. Not sure what I’m going to do in the ports yet.

I know, it sounds silly and it wouldn’t affect my enjoyment of the cruise at all but every time I see that big C on the stack, it’ll just seem wrong. 🤣

@jerseygirlinAZ @DPTexas Thank you for your input, I think I’m going to go with the 7 day on Firenze. Kinda wish it had the iconic “ whale tail “ though. 😁

I'm torn between these two cruises and hoping for some help. The cost difference is minimal so not a factor and these are West Coast Long Beach port cruises. Both ships are new to me, ports are not. Carnival Radiance 4 day 9/2/24 - b2b with a 2 day 9/6/24 going to Ensenada & Catalina. The 2 day does not offer Cheers.😩 I've never done a B2B before, might be kinda fun. Carnival Firenze 7 day 8/31/24 - Mexican Riviera I appreciate any input to help sway me one way or another. TIA!

OK, I’ll play. What would you like us to do that you yourself aren’t able, to help find your backpack?

Oh wow! Now, that’s what I’m talking about!

This has been a favorite of mine for years, I noticed on the Panorama last October, it tasted just like tomato soup. Was disappointed it wasn't how I remember.

I was on a Princess cruise and was in my cabin on embarkation day, I pulled the curtains all the way back from the balcony and noticed on the floor by the desk there was a passport. I had just met my steward so I went out into the hall and gave it to him, he said the occupants of the cabin that morning were looking everywhere for it. He said he would bring it to guest services. Can you imagine the previous occupants blaming the steward for stealing the passport or what if I decided to not turn it in. It makes zero sense the steward would "steal" your backpack and much more likely someone walking by the cabin took it. Unless, as another poster said, you forgot and left it somewhere else.

This is why I always put cash on my account now. I go to GS the first day and tell them I’m putting cash and to delete the cc. I’ve never had a problem with mysterious charges anymore when I return home.

Exactly. Once MSC found out who they were, they apologized.

Your post reminded me of the Happy Hour BOGO for $1 at the Wheelhouse they used to have. Not so much a wish list because of the Plus/Premium pkgs now but so much of a nostalgic thing. Used to go with the family and my dad who has long since passed would absolutely love this time together in the afternoons. I really miss it, thanks for reminding me of it. 😊

The 15 drinks a day is just the limit they impose. You don't need to come anywhere near that to make the package worth it.

Best of luck to you. I can't imagine Princess allowing you to go back to your original cabin. It would be a nightmare for them if everyone that didn't get the location they like wanted to go back.

The digital board celebrating your special occasion is very cool. This was for my birthday on the Sapphire a couple of years ago.When you get close to the board, it does an animated thing where confetti explodes on the screen.

I agree completely but currently Princess is saving me a ton of money by still allowing smoking in the casinos. I will not drop one penny in there as long as it's smoking.

For those saying they could have been late due to an accident or needing to go to urgent care or whatever, in the daily planner on all of the cruise lines I've been on, they list a port agent and phone number in case you have an emergency while onshore and they recommend you bring it with you. I'm sure many don't pay attention to it but also I'm sure many do.

I knew/got what you were saying about the validity being less than 10 years.😉

Well, at least now you won’t have to think about it again for 9 1/2 years. Enjoy your cruise!
