Ok I am unfamiliar with this, can someone explain, please? I like non-alcoholic drinks but can't have sodas...

I have done one solo before and doing it again next month. I do traditional dining at the early time. I love meeting and getting to know new people! I would not like sitting by myself at dinner. But I understand why someone would want to as well. I am so excited!

Do you have to stick with Carnival?

Royal Caribbean leaves out of Galveston also....

Norwegian leaves out of Houston.....

and I am sure other cruise lines in Texas also.

 

Only suggesting this to save you tons of $$$ on airfare/hotel accommodations::o:):o

 

I have never been on a bad cruise and LOVE trying different ships and cruise lines. My bucket list is sooooo long. So many ships...too little time.:D

I completely agree! Princess goes out of Houston as well well for part of the year, same with Norwegian.

I've done both! My favorite line will always be Carnival. Tips and insurance are not included automatically with either. However, you can have them added on either line and once the cruise is pd off it's all taken care of!

It is amazing and the fries are fantastic!!!

If the ship has undergone the 2.0 upgrade then it should have it!!!

I'll be on the Liberty in June for an 8 day! I'm going solo and booked first class air so I'm excited!!! I think after a long year of teaching 7th and 8th graders I deserve this!

I booked an 8 day solo cruise on Liberty June 20th. I am excited, this will be my 20th cruise and longest one to date. I booked my airfare today and got an outstanding deal on first class tickets. Is it wrong that I am this excited to go by myself??? Maybe I should upgrade my room to a balcony from an inside?!

This is not just a Carnival thing! As with other things, if you don't like it don't book it. I don't like that Carnival doesn't do many cruises that are conducive to solo travelers in the summer when I can go, but it is what it is and I still love 'em!

Well I did it. I booked the 8 day on Liberty...solo!!! Thank you all for all of your input!!!

I seriously doubt that anyone on the ship is going to check if everyone in your family has FTTF on debarkation day. The staff just wants to get everyone off as quickly and hassle-free as possible. On the evening prior to debarkation, you will receive luggage tags with zone numbers based on when you need to debark. If your childrens' luggage tags don't have the same number as yours (example: a "5" instead of a "1") just see your room steward and he/she will get the ones you need. That way all of your luggage will be together in the terminal. Once debarkation begins and zone numbers are called, you can debark together, no questions asked.

While you are correct most of the time, in December they checked everyone on our ship. They had the extra time cuz we got into port early. There were several parties that were split up. My friend's family being one of them.

I've done the 7 day one. It's very nice. San Juan is AMAZING. St. Thomas is also nice but there's not much to do other than the beaches and great jewelry to buy. Grand Turk is pretty but boring. HMC, also pretty. I'm doing the 8 day cruise next spring break myself. I have been to Aruba before though (but nt via cruise--we did a week AI honeymoon there). I'm thinking this 8 day will be more relaxing than the 7 day one. LOTS of sea days. Last year we did 6 ports in 7 days that left out of SJ. Soooo tired. This 8 day sounds more relaxing. So if "relaxation" is your goal, go with the 8 Day. If seeing a "lot of history and several beautiful beaches " is your main goal, go with the 7 day. Not saying you can't get the other from the other, but those are the main differences as far as I can tell. 8 days is more than 7....goes without mentioning. ;)

I am loving the logic!

You can try it, but that is not necessarily true, because they have been known to check the cards.

I would think that they could, since it is all the same party...but you might want to call carnival to find out for sure.

The OP is currently booked on Liberty, but considering switching to the Pride, which is what is getting the upgrade.

Gotcha, my bad!

I thought Liberty has already gone through the 2.0 upgrade...

Hmmmmm, it is looking like the 8 day is the landslide winner!!! I hope if I go with this, it is the right choice.

Still can't decide...

7 day on Conquest going to San Juan, Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk and St Thomas

or

8 day on Liberty going to Aruba, Curacao, and Grand Turk

Why is this so hard??? I just don't know....

I am considering Liberty on June 20th. It is between that one and the Conquest on the 22nd. I will be solo...

I agree! Now I am leaning toward the Liberty...I do like all the ports and I have never been to any of them and I have not been on that ship either. Plus it is longer with less stops so I dunno....

Wow, I am so confused! They both sound amazing!!!
