You can buy Cheers on Fri. (Day the cruise leaves, and day after.)

No charge for Monday.

I would suggest cancelling them out, a month or so before the cruise date. If you don't, they could show up, board, and be in the cabin.

Most people would not do that, but some vindictive people might. Not worth the chance.

Were you able to book a balcony cabin? For a honeymoon, esspecially in Alaska, I think that would be best.

Enjoy!

Since it's a repositioning cruise, most days should be sea days. Best guess is 2nd night, assuming it's a sea day, and 2-3 nights from the end of the cruise.

If you bring one I've heard it's better to have it in your carry-on, so you can try to persuade them to let you keep it.

I think I would pass on the suite, given that it is only a 5 day cruise.

My daughter loves the smoked salmon with bagel and cream cheese!

Your beaches are very nice. I especially like Roatan.

We're fans of Carnival. They have good teen clubs.

As far as making it back to the ship on time: Do not rely on your cell phone. Sometimes they self-adjust. Bring a cheap watch, and keep it on ship-time.

So while we have no plans so to speak, I thought I'd see if we could do a quick SeaTrek from Jeanie's in town. Looks like a nice little fun way to spend an hour or two. I contacted them but was stupid in telling them that I was on a ship and now they won't book me. Grrrr. Should have just walked up when we got there. May still do that.

Just don't be carrying an obvious ship beach towel. Bring the white ones from your room.

Or if you know the activity name, just post here. I'm sure people will have experiences they are willing to share.

Kids are same price.

For an example of 3rd/4th passenger prices, in Jan 2014 3 of us are sailing the Carnival Dream. First 2 people are $579. Third is $189. All adults.

As long as you check in together you can share one bag. If you are driving, maybe bring a small roller suitcase to carry it all? That stuff gets heavy!

Daniel is the nicest person! I've toured with him twice and had a fantastic time. I would highly recommend him!

Anyone know how much the massages were at Chakanaab?

We do minimal drinking, so all-inclusives usually don't work for us.

Paradise Beach works well. Eat and drink just what we want.

And easy to do Paradise Beach without pre-planning.

Cozumel is very easy to wing it. Lots of choices. Lots of space for 6 ships worth of people to space out.

There are 2 different docks. One close to downtown, and one requiring a cab ride to town. (Cab rates posted at docks.)

Yes, the Dream has the deluxe Oceanview with a bath and a half. For females, taking a shower in the bathtub is great - you can easily prop your leg up to shave it.

Yes loungers open to the open air. No plexiglass.

There should be 2-4 hammocks. Get there early for a hammock!

Diamond / Platinum / FTTF can bring up to 5 persons on the tender with them. They did not check statuses or if they were in the same cabin.

Boy - that is a surprise!

Keep in mind you are much closer to the spa when you are up on the Spa Balcony deck. Makes you more likely to use the facilities.

No ropes course.

And I really miss the sushi. They do have sushi on the buffet, but only 2 kinds, neither of which is vegetarian.

For less than $100 I would give it a shot.

But I think I would keep FTTF as well.
