I would e-mail the Maitre'd on the ship.  This thread has information on the e-mail address cruisecritc maitre'd e-mail.

Or you could call carnival.  I wouldn't cancel until you tried both options.

I rented a car from Cayman Auto Rentals for my upcoming trip and they also list 2 & 4 door jeeps. According to their site, it's a 3 block walk from the pier.

I did see a couple of other companies that will pick you up close to the port and take you to their office, but this seemed easier.

My kids are using it because it breaks it down into payments they can afford each month and they all pretty much suck at long-term budgeting.

I used it for my upcoming cruise and really like the option. I prefer to pay a bit every month towards the cruise rather than one large payment and this just makes it easier. Nothing to remember, just wooshes the payment automatically.

I don't really see any cons. You can always opt out of it if you need to for any reason.

What month? New Orleans is impacted by weather.

Mid August.

Does anyone know general timing for Dream debarkation in New Orleans? I've found a tour I'd like to take that meets at 11:30. Itinerary says we are in NOLA at 8 AM. I need to get to hotel to drop bags and then walk to tour meeting point near hotel.

Would I need to plan on self assisted? I don't have FTTF (sold out) or enough status for priority debarkation.

Thoughts?

Thank u Mike and I said fresh because I really wasn't trying to read back through anything today as the baby has been very fussy and I really do need to purchase Something because we leave in 63 days. I'd been struggling with the decision to even purchase because as I'd mentioned I haven't before but now with the little one I want it to have peace of mind. Again thank u.

Also - look for a policy that has kids are free. Can be a significant reduction in cost w/ no reduction in benefits.

Break your leg in a moped crash in Cozumel? You pay out of pocket, then file for reimbursement.

Not necessarily. I can't speak for every company out there, but most will guarantee payment for hospitals and work directly w/ the hospital to pay for treatment. The trick is to contact them as soon as possible. They review hospitals and will know if the facility you are at is adequate for the condition you have and can get you to the nearest appropriate facility for treatment/stabilizatin.

I always describe Carnival as 'cheap and cheerful'. It's a great value for the money. But if I really had to pick one thing...Blue Iguana. I only pick ships that have them now. Great food, esp for breakfast.

So glad I saw this today. Bought a couple for our upcoming cruise. Nice discount.

The non-drowsy Dramamine works well for me. I'm typically OK on a cruise ship, but can get queasy if it gets rough.
