I didn't see any NCL gift cards for sale ....

I've purchased it before. It's not the same/as fast as Wifi on land but it works. I was able to upload pictures to FB & chat with people.

We had FTTF when we cruised Alaska, arrived at the port around 11:15ish & walked right on. FTTF was unnecessary.

109 .... soon!

I have an 9 yr old (who was not on this cruise with me) & he would have loved it. There wasn't a wait at any of the restaurants as they are all on a schedule. I don't think he would have enjoyed all the food (he's a bit picky) but he would have enjoyed the different locations & information. My son is a bit of a travel nut, though.

You can use them to pay for your cruise & fund your onboard account. So, yes, they can be used at the bar in a roundabout way.

Great, thanks for the help.

Does anyone know what happens to the excess on the card?

If I owe 1,300 on my cruise & have $1,500 in gift cards. What happens with the extra $200? Does it remain on the card & I have to bring it with me & have it applied towards my account on the cruise?

Is it automatically posted to my account when I pay final balance online?

Thanks

Strick?

What language are you speaking?

Is that really necessary?:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

They are usually pretty strict.

Can you reach out to them & check? Someone should be able to answer your question.

Would this be pretty similar to the Cabo-Mazatlán-PV itinerary?

Here's a thread I just did with the Fun Times you are looking for:

Thanks for the input. We've selected the room above the arcade, we've hardly seen anybody in the arcades & doubt there will be someone in there at 2 am.

I'll report back if we made the wrong decision.

We had pictures done on our Alaska cruise. GORGEOUS. I shelled out a nice chunk of cash for the digital pics & an album but the pictures were worth.

We chose Juneau as our backdrop & you can see glaciers behind us. Love them.

I did a Baltic cruise over the summer, was the only person in my group with T-Mobile & had coverage in every location :D

In Russia, I had to toggle to a different carrier than what was pre-selected but it worked well once I did.

I'd receive a welcome message once I turned off Airplane Mode stating text/data were free & calls were .20/minute.

Love T-Mobile.

They’re there. I was able to buy 2.

We used Alamo on the front end of our trip & had them drop us off at port.

They were great, no hassles.

Hope you are having a wonderful trip? Did you eat at the steakhouse? If so, any chance there was the new menu? Also, did you attend any comedy shows? Were they overly crowded? Does one need to arrive very early for a decent seat?

 

THANKS so much and enjoy the rest of your time !!!

Yes, this was my next question! Comedy shows & overcrowding .... :)

How was embarkation?

We just got back from staying in 6403 on the Magic. It was over the ocean plaza where bands play late and the alchemy bar is located. I was super worried about noise but we didn't hear a peep.

Interesting. Magic is newer compared to Splendor, wonder if that played a part.

Did you get an email or phone call? Going on the same cruise in April and haven't heard a word!

I received an email. This is my first time booking directly with Carnival, don't know if not having an agent would be why we were offered the upgrade.

Will you be finishing this review?

Hola!

We will be cruising the Mexican Riviera on the Splendor in June. Although we prefer balcony cabins, we booked OV due to price. Carnival has offered us an upgrade that would half the cost had we booked a balcony from the get go & we want to upgrade.

The only balcony cabins available are on deck 6 & 8. Let's skip deck 8 as it's directly under Lido.

For deck 6, there are a few cabins available but they are directly above the Promenade. Are some areas not as noisy?

Here are our options:

6336 - Above Casino

6374 - Above Club O2

6380 - Above Club O2

6386 - Above Arcade

6398 - Above Red Carpet Dance Club

6419 - Above Promenade, close to Taste Bar (idk if they have singers placed nearby)

6443 - Above El Mojito Wine Bar

Any input appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the great review & everyone else chiming in that was on board! Very helpful!

I have a question, hoping someone can answer. I've been offered an upgrade from an OV to a balcony just above the casino, seems it's right above the cage. Was the casino noisy?

Seattle Express was great for us. They were waiting for us when we debarked & were at the airport with time to spare for an 11:35am flight.
