heres the deal, you have to evaluate where your "at" through the 15 drink process.
my choice of drink is Jack and coke, did Cheers on the imagination, 9 drinks in and i was nowhere near where i should have been, i switched and finished the night strong with 6 long islands<----not recommended
Woke up on the bathroom floor the next day still in my formals,
The next day i didnt drink at all,
So for one day it was $100 worth of cheers + grat, worth? IDK, but ill probabaly do it again :)

Just a short story,
I booked the vista(12/17/16) about a month ago, when i did there where no balconies of any kind for 3 people. such a disappointment because i am very fond of the coves on the breeze. I booked a deluxe oceanview. I had to educate myself on the DELUXE oceanview, which its an oceanview stateroom a little bigger than a regular oceanview but it has TWO Bathrooms,..
Two Bathrooms, one stateroom, Ive had suites with one bathroom
Why do i need TWO bathrooms? Children,... you two stay out of dads bathroom, your bathroom is the one with the tub.
Anyway, so today is 3 days before FPD, and it is time to break off Carnival the last chunk of my children's college fund, so im on the site, and i note taxes and fees are a bit high, so i think to myself i usually prepay gratuities but i cant remember if i did or not....
Mock booking time......... No i did not prepay gratuities......wait

The cove balcony is the only room ill book on a dream class. have had two so far with a 3rd coming up. it truly is the best balcony to get.
-
wish they would go back to the coffee mugs.
-
ive done it on the breeze, book as soon as you get on board
-
Does not depend on where your going, it depends on ships homeport. Breeze time is Miami time EST.
-
one the way down now ND to MIA for breeze 3/22 glory 3/30, so 1 and 9
-
Did it on the both the Freedom and the Breeze, cost 100pp, booked it upon boarding at the excursion desk both where on the last sea day. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Also make sure to wear comfortable shoes.
-
Anyone know if roystone and imam are still working the casino bar?
-
The insides are just the same as the O/V, just without the window, biggest problem ive had is the darkness, and no clock in the room, ive slept days away in an inside room.

On the First Sea day (Monday) (1st Formal Night) We really didnt do much, we went to the show, the jury is still out of wither i prefer the new shows compared to the older ones I have never been a big fan anyway. We also watched the Hasbro Game show, it was neat but unless your participating once youve seen it, youve seen it.
We ate in the marketplace for breakfast and lunch and while there where lines, it was nothing to stress about.
We also went to the comedy show. Now i read in past reviews about the comedy on this ship but i wanted to try it anyway.
The Comedy lounge is an epic FAIL on this ship. On my paradise cruise last year, i saw 4 different comedians in 6 different shows. This cruise only had 2 comedians and there where not enough shows, especially giving the fact that they empty out the lounge between shows and there's already a line at the door to get in as you come out.
In addition the other comedian this night thought the statement "God Bless Our troops" made by the comedian on stage was funny and had an extremely annoying laugh from the back of the room. When i asked what was funny about that statement he told me it was a private joke between them. Still not funny.....
We also went to Liquid Nightclub this night, it was ok but filled with college spring breakers.

going on the Breeze soon so I'm all "ears!" -- thanks for the review -- i'm subscribing to this thread. BTW - did you travel with kids? Were you able to get a copy of Capers - Kids activities? thanks again!
I do generally travel with my kids, I did not this time due to i wanted to get the lay of the boat first. I am a paranoid parent and need to make sure i can manage them without impeding them, In addition, my children were not on spring break yet.
I did not get the Capers
I did not see Camp Carnival
I Did see both club O2 and Circle C
There was ALOT of children on board
The Water park is a hit with kids
I would absolutely without hesitation take my children on this ship
I personally got a kick out of watching the kids "eat it" every time the water bucket dumped
-
I read somewhere that they were going to do away with the bar staff in the MDR and the waiter could take the order for drinks.
Saw bar waiters everywhere, just could not get one to stop for us

My master plan of watching the ships come into port in the early morning was thwarted by the awesome bed at the hotel, we got up around 9 i think. The hotel had a nice looking breakfast that we did not partake in as it was just too busy. This hotel did offer shuttle service to the port but since we had the car rental, we had to go back to MIA.
As soon as we returned the car, we boarded the shuttle to the port and arrived around 11am. There was a line at the door already but it moved pretty fast. Once through security we where directed to the Captains lounge, where we got our SS cards and where told to have a seat, within 20 minutes we where walking onto the ship, I believe we where on board by 11:30.
First stop was our cabin (Cove Balcony 2275). Which was ready for us, and i swear the door had not shut before our steward was at the door. Aris, is by far THE BEST steward I have ever had. I asked for Ice and an ashtray for the balcony, and was told the ashtray would be in place after they finished fueling the ship and ice was presented within 15-20 minutes. I selected the cove balcony as i like to watch port activities and see the water, from prior reviews i read on the breeze i judged that a normal balconies view of the walking deck just was not for me. I was not disappointed. While the cove balcony does not get direct sunlight and the view up is the bottom of the life boats, the enclosed feel of the balcony and the proximity of the water line made this an awesome cabin. Much better then watching kids play in the hot tub.
I dont really remember what we did from time to time, but i will touch base on a few things.
We ate lunch at guys, i was not impressed, she was. Muster drill for us was in the Sapphire dining room lasted about 30 minutes. We had assigned early dining also in the Sapphire Dining room. The Dining room didnt seem as big or grand as say the dining rooms on the conquest class ships, and it was NEVER busy, we sat alone on a 6 top table the first 3 nights of the cruise, we found out later that it did not seem busy because that is the main "your time dining" dining room.
MINOR COMPLAINT: Our waitstaff was efficient and friendly, and i very rarely have a drink other then water or lemonade at diner, but i do like the option. We where not visited by the bar server in the MDR not ONCE on our cruise.
Will attach funtimes and a few photos, soon as i work the bugs out

Thought id give this review thing a try so here it goes:
Pre cruise:
We had been planning this trip for a few months, some of the trip was finalized "last minute". This was my(38) 11th Carnival Cruise and GF(36)(ready2sailaway77) first (blue carded rookie).
3/8/2014: We drove into Atlanta (about 1.5 hours) and flew via delta to Miami. Flight was uneventful with the exception of i swore the pilot blew a tire on touch down.MIA is a shocker to me, having flown mainly out of Atlanta, the Airport just simply is not as busy as I expected. We had a car rental with thrifty as i had a master plan to go watch the ships come in from South Beach at omygoditsearly o'clock (more on that later).WARNING: if you rent a car from the airport, be prepared to walk 270 miles (exaggeration) to the train that takes you to the rental car place. We stayed at the Embassy Suites MIA which was a beautiful and clean place, all the staff where extremely friendly, the onsite bar was mediocre. the Only minor downside to this hotel is that you pay for parking now its not a bank breaker but it seems just silly to me that if i am a booked guest i have to pay to park in the parking lot, i know this is common practice but c'mon really?

Cove balcony on this class of ship is the only way to go in my opinion was just in cabin 2275 on 3/9. 2275 is located directly under guest services and heard no noise from above. And I can't say enough about Aris the room steward top notch!

thanks yall for the input, my original question of them needing the CC was the question not if I could smuggle them into the vip lounge. And I think im clear that they do not need the CC.
Thanks!!!

Two bathrooms, high taxes, cove balcony, call center lady is my next xwife

I have never had a casino offer, seriously all i do is play in the one maybe two blackjack tournaments they have per cruise, other then that i sit at the casino bar every day and get twisted till ive stuck20 to 40 in that stupid crane machine ( i have actually pulled two $100 bundles out, Thanks Breeze, and Imagination)
And ive seen no advertisements or offers from the casino, thats just what they told me on the phone. But hey im down for extras, but they can keep em, i got the cove !
