We booked the Mardi Gras out of Canaveral for Oct 2025. Decided to splurge a bit and got a havana cabana. Now the count down begins...

Received a mailer today about new Elite offers, but no examples of what cruises were being offered. Just said "available on a wider selection of Elite cruises". In the past, Cruise Critic members "in the know" could get a listing of the cruises being offered. Any chance anyone out there has this new listing? Thanks in advance! baf

This last cruise was the first time our luggage didnt arrive by 5. After 27 cruises it was also the first time I did NOT pack any clothes in out carry on (figures).

We have done 4 cruises on the Elation ( and several on other fantasy class ships) because Jacksonville port is only 4 hours from us. We LOVE the Elation I( and the Fantasy class in general). Love the smaller feel. Only thing missing is a steak house. Try and get a cabin on deck 9. We had a cabin there on our 2/5/2024 cruise. It is so convenient to EVERYTHING. baf

ok. and...

My laptop can. Have done it before ( shrugg)

Yes,but you would connect your laptop to the ships wifi and then use your laptop to connect other devices. Like an ipad or your phone

Many laptops can be used as wifi "hotspots" too

Me too. I'm getting premier with DOUE for me and hubbs with a free balcony. Play my way is free suite and DOUE for me and hubbs. While the Ultra perks are nice, The deals are better on other offers.

All Iknow is they take my card at the table and punch in how much I buy in for. If i buy in for more, that is recorded. If I hot big, that is keyed in ( I have watched them do it). WHen I leave the table, what I leave in is also keyed in ( I know because I ask them what they are doing). AND I get good offers (shrugg)

Agree. I kept track and reached 10000 points on a cruise and got my first free suite and DOUE for me and hubbs.

Just off the Elation 2/20/24. We had early boarding (11am) Dropped our stuff off and left to do safety drill and then lunch. Doors were not locked.

We have this cabin booked on the Legend for our Panama Canal cruise Christmas 2024. So excited!

We just retired this past year too! And yea, loving retirement! Going to be grandparents for the first time this July too. Sooo Excited!

We sail on her the Feb 5th. It is also our 23rd Carnival cruise!

We got the earliest time for our upcoming Elation cruise (1030). Earliest I have ever seen at Jacksonville port. It also stated that final boarding is at 2pm with the ship leaving the pier at 330pm (also the earliest I have seen-used to be 430pm). Showed another post to hubbs because he always gets mad when I go to the front of the line thinking I am line jumping. The post said to go to front if you are there at your arrival time because many people are in line waiting for their appointed time (seeing as we have the earliest appointment.😁)

We booked the 8 day our of Tampa for Dec 2024. It originally said partial transit, but has now changed to Colon. The other (earlier) ones out of Tampa said the same, but as one got closer to the sail date, it changed to partial transit. Hoping ours does the same because we are due to be there on Christmas day.

we sail this cruise in Dec 2024- can't wait!

I guess I'm lucky. Cancelled an excursion this past Sunday, received a confirmation email Monday and got my refund to my cc today (Thurs).😉😁

^^^^^This^^^^^ I have had it both ways too.

hmm on the Elation i bet 4x...

Similar odds on Ultimate texas holed em and 3 card poker as on land based casinos. Ship dependent as to whether it's an auto dealer or live shuffle each hand. $10 min with optional side bets. I usually buy in for $300 and break even after a cpl hours. Guess I'm lucky.....
