Previously (BEFORE COVID), the ships had Diamond- Platinum getting off the ship, then faster to the fun and then they called by decks.

How are they doing it now?

I am of difference opinion totally!!

The United States is being released in steps to protect us against a second surge.

I cannot see Carnival doing any cruises unless it is safe.  I also cannot see them sailing UNLESS the ship is to full capacity.

I think it will be up to the customer to make sure that they feel safe.  

You must be very careful when booking to get these price drops after final payment due.

You have to book one that has price guarantee with it and that is usually early saver

First of all, I have been taking cruises for a long time.  Everyone who cruises knows that the cruise ships regularly stop in Cozumel.  So I have racked up a total of over 30 stops in Cozumel.

So here it goes.............We love love going to Mister Sanchos.  Sometimes when we are at the taxi stop in the cruise ship terminal, we try to split the cab with another couple.  The charge to go to Mister Sanchos for 1-4 people is 17.00 per CAB.  

The other day when we tried to come back, the same thing.  Hey wanta split a cab and sure enough we found another couple that would like to split the cab ride back to the cruise terminal.  The sign at Mister Sanchos said 1-4 people 17.00.  This cabbie tells us 34.00 to go back to terminal.  What??  Raised eyebrows and wanted to speak to supervisor.  

The supervisor told the cabbie to take us back to the cruise terminal for 17.00 for 4 people.  Well this cabbie was pissed off and was driving kinda crazy, wasnt sure if he was just driving crazy or was he driving mad crazy.  But anyways he pulls up across the from the terminal and says "end of line, get out."  

We paid him the 17.00 and crossed the street and was at the terminal.

We spoke to his supervisor and told him what happened.  The supervisor couldnt speak English very well so we had port security help us out with him.  

The word is 17.00 to go to Mister Sanchos and 17.00 to come back to the terminal.

Dont let them cabbies rip you off!!

The ship's time is the same time as the port that you got on to go on the cruise.  If it is 12:00 noon there, it is 12:00 on the boat and it stays that way

I would stop sending those terrible strawberries to the guests

Loved it.  Actually we went to the pineapple plantation around 2005.  Croyton was the name

this past summer we went again and still LOVED it.  Very informational and the ride is beautiful

Yeah good luck with them answering the phone.

I have always had to go to guest services to get anything resolved

I guess that I am wrong.  I have NEVER been denied unless it was like a twenty five dollar cruise

As a stockholder, this is a benefit you are due regardless of the rate

The weather predictions here in the deep south indicate that there is not going to be an issue.  But there is 70% probablity of further development.  Just a lot of rain

Drive to NOLA instead of Mobile.  Both ships usually go to the same places.  NOLA is cheaper cruise wise and have larger ships.  Fantasy is ok but old and rather dated.  Carnival had that ship for sale and no bites.

you are allowed to take off factgory sealed, no fruits, milks, drinks other than water.  There are police with dogs checking everyone as you pass through.  It is a hefty fine

Let me start off by saying, I am not a cheerleader for any cruise line.

I go where I get the best deals...........

I went on the Breakaway for a 10 day cruise in February 2019.    I always port from NOLA and have done numerous Carnival Cruises.

The Breakaway is a very beautiful ship but.............rooms tend to be small, the food is NOT as good as Carnivals.  If you want better food on the Breakaway, you have to pay extra.

Just catch the bus from the port to the town and walk to the beach.

Tommy's is a pretty decent place to eat.  They will make you anything you want to eat if you dont like the menu.

Ask for Manuel and tell him Trent the shrimp man sent you.

You can get a decent meal, a bucket of beer and a massage for about 30.00

Skip the Carnival stuff

I am just off Glory (since yesterday)

This was my 31st cruise and this is what I thought.  Yeah the ship has seen better days, me too.

Old but clean.  Employees would do anything for you.

Only problem we had was.................TOILET would not flush.............

I just returned from a cruise on breakaway(Feb 2019), It is a very nice ship.  I really think Carnival has better food.  The Breakaway has alot of "extra" pay restaurants and they make you think that if you dont pay, you are missing something.  I have loved Carnival's brunch.  I think the MDR on Carnival has better food as well.  But as far as the buffet, Breakaway has everything you could possibly want.

The rooms on the Breakaway are smaller than on Carnival is that makes a difference to you.  

You can order bottled water but you really dont need it.  Their water tasted pretty good.

You cannot take soda on board with you, they charge you 3.50 plus 20% gratutity for a coke.  I dont do laundry on a cruise but their is no washing machines, you can send it to be cleaned.

I just did breakaway and I am platinum on Carnival.

The breakaway is much nice ship than Carnival.  It is a mega ship but..............I love the seaday brunch on Carnival, I think Carnival has a better menu in the MDR. 

The rooms are smaller on NCL.  Their shower is nice.

We just did the 10day cruise 2/7 to 2/17/  That was my 30th cruise.  You will like the Getaway a huge ship.  But.....they will try to nickel and dime you to death.

When you get to port, go to Erato port and stay in the left lane.  It will lead you to the Julia Street Terminal.  I am assuming you are going to park at the Whale's Tale lot?  It is the closest parking to the Julia Street Terminal.  It is 20.00 per day

Any questions feel free to ask

BRA BRA

The closest parking lot that is walking distance to the Breakaway is the Whales Tale.  It is 20.00 per day.

The best way to go is go like you are going to Erato Terminal and drive right past it.  No problems'

You need to make paragraphs.  I am sure your review has so much good information.  But too hard to read
