Have you considered any other cruise lines? Carnival’s Dream class and newer have Deluxe OV cabins that have the twin/king, sofa bed, and two uppers. Also a split bath: two showers, two sinks, one toilet. EM

I expect the teachers would like to know the schedule earlier, too. They take vacations, too. EM

You look to be having great weather for transit day. Are you above the bridge, or down around the bow?

HAVE YOU TRAVELED TO LAS PALMAS, CANARY ISLANDS?
Essiesmom replied to azgrandmax3's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Suggest you visit the Ports of Call board that includes the Canaries. We were there on Dream in 2009 but just walked around. Easily walkable. EM -
Carnival Firebird. EM

You might ask on the Florida Departures board, as some locals might have suggestions. EM

It took 7 years for the Sunshine Skyway bridge in St. Pete to be replaced. But they still had one span working. EM

Just a comparison…the Spirit class of Carnival and Vista class of HAL are the same tonnage and are built on the same vista hull. EM Gatun Locks pics

Go to cruisetimetables.com. From the tab Cruises to… select ports you want to visit, and the time you want to go. It will tell you who calls there and their itineraries. Better than weeding through cruise line websites. EM

What Makes Carinval Special To You???
Essiesmom replied to MtnSeaGirl's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I keep coming back because I can drive two hours to the closest port. JAX is so easy. I know what to expect. I would like to sail from more places but air is so complicated, no direct flights anywhere. I do also drive to Port Canaveral but I do an over night halfway. EM -
Go back to the top of the Carnival page and click on See posts about, click on Select ship and choose Radiance. You will get pages of threads that talk about Radiance.

It has been reported that Princess no longer assigns a checkin time, so arrive when you want. For hotel recommendations, there are a ton over on the Florida Departures board, under North American Homeports. EM

The port Princess uses on Roatan is Mahogany Bay, a Carnival created enclave. There is a shopping area that may or may not be open, and a private beach with a snack bar/restaurant that probably will be open. It’s a beach day. EM

It also keeps kids from taking over the pools. EM

The best deal in cruising these days is on MSC. EM

Get some pics if there is any daylight yet. Please. EM

Bet the Port Canaveral webcam will be overloaded with folks looking for her wounded arrival. EM

There are accessible suites in YC. They probably won’t let you book them online, to prevent people who don’t need them from booking for the extra space. EM

The importance of Glacier Bay is that I have not yet heard of a cruise missing it because of too much ice or fog. My first Alaska cruise was a B2B that visited college Fjord, Hubband, and Glacier Bay x2 in early June. The second was also a B2B but this time in July, and we missed Hubbard due to pea soup fog. EM

You don’t know until you ask in the shop. I have done it with a separate card when I didn’t want all of the charges on the same card. EM

The thing about Conquest was she was not yet back in service so was immediately available. EM
-
I haven’t seen any kids area at Ocean Cay…but I never got to Bimini Beach or the YC area. I think kids are just expected to go swimming…. EM
