  1. I’ve read a few posts from folks on other ships about having to buy wifi daily no packages available. Is this because it’s so bad? im hoping to purchase the Value level for my cruise on the Horizon next month to stay connected to home. Any recent Horizon cruisers able to validate what I should expect on board? It’s a Southern route if that matters. Thanks!
  2. I'm fan grrling right now 🙂 having you reply to my thread LOL - excited to see you on board!!! This cruise is going to be a BLAST!!
  3. DH and I were wondering the exact same thing. He is diving in the morning. THought a 1/2 day afternoon rental might be great. Might just stop by the provider and see if anything is available and wing it. Don't want to pay for a full day unnecessarily - can't wait to be there in just over 3 weeks!!
  4. Hey folks I might post over on the Canadian board as well BUT it is a Carnival specific question. 🙂 Will I be able to access the WestJet webpage to complete my online check in for my flight via the Value Plan? Is is possible to just upgrade from Social to another plan for the one day I need it? Thanks folks Its on the Horizon if that matters in your responses
  5. DH and I are travelling to Aruba next month - FINALLY - and I am finalizing our loose plans for this stop. Trying not to over plan but want to have some ideas of how to spend the day. I’m looking for some ideas of a place along Eagle Beach that are similar to a Jacks Shack on Grand Turk. A spot that offers you frosty beverages & snacks but also has chairs etc on the beach for guests. I’m seeing lots of options for bars etc but it’s not clear to me which if any of them also have chairs on the beach. Or in Aruba is this something you have to rent separately? We are really only looking for a few hours in the morningish as we want to spend the afternoon exploring the town, shopping etc before our booked sunset cruise. Thanks for any ideas or insight!
  6. As we look ahead to our September cruise and trying to not overpack (for once) I was looking at options for laundry on board (the Horizon specifically). I have used the laundry rooms as well as sending things out to be pressed on past cruises but noticed this option for the first time - what is the "Wet/Dry Cleaning Technology"??? I'm hesitant to send out more than basics - socks, underwear, not special T-shirts as I am concerned about shrinkage or damage to clothing in the hot water wash. But this Wet/Dry thing caught my eye. Any insight is appreciated.
  7. In Alberta - where I’m guessing OP is from - the legal age for drinking is 18 so not a minor at home.
  8. Oh its not the slots steering the cruise - its the better OBC, DOU for companions and the cheaper flights. The BC Slot fun is an added bonus! Funny thing is DH really is more of a tables and craps player, I'm the one who actually plays them
  9. Just yesterday I noticed in my offers that Brian Christopher - essentially a slot player influences (I know what is the world coming to LOL) is hosting a few upcoming cruises with Carnival. We had an existing booking for later in Feb 2023 on the Dream out of Galveston but have been unhappy with the plan as flights are now super expensive from our home town in Canada. Longer story longer we had a cruise booked earlier this year in Feb 2022 but cancelled due to the complications of travel from Canada to a cruise at that time - but our flights had been really cost effective so were caught off guard when they were as much as they currently are. So we see the BC cruise out of Port Canaveral for a whole $20ish dollars more than we paid for our Dream rate PLUS another day on board, a quick call to Carnival with an amazing Rep and BOOM we are moved to this cruise - better OBC, some fun extra parties and fun with Brian Christopher (my DH enjoys his videos and is really excited to be part of this cruise). BTW flights are wayyyyy more cost effective for us to go to PC over Houston so a win there as well. Then this morning I happen to run across some FB posts about a JH cruise - the FFS #5 with the same date as our newly booked Dream cruise. Quick good search took me to Carnival's page and confirmed that it IS listed as an upcoming event! https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1390/~/john-healds%2C-cruise-with-john---for-funs-sake-%235 SOOOO the point of this post LOL - what are the chances that BOTH events happen? If so it will be a very active busy and hopefully fun few days!
  10. It’s called cash flow. They need the money coming in to fund overall operations it’s not like your fare just goes to the line items for that ship. .
