I was in 2370 - last week in February. WONDERFUL room!!!!!!!!! No regrets at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wouldn't change a thing - except maybe bring some hunky guy. :eek: Problem is - I don't know any!!!!!! ;)
Stop worrying!!!!! As for noise from overhead, it wasn't a problem. I didn't realize it was kitchen sound - but that is simply (now) a point of interest.
Enjoy your trip!!!!!!! What fun you are going to have!

This is just a small clip of the actual damage from IKE.
I never will understand why Carnival let people get off at this island.
My wife was in tears the rest of the cruise .
Notice the little girl in the remains of the photo .:(
I am sure there was no intent to raise social conscience on the part of Carnival, but just maybe that was an unintended consequence. Awareness of what life is really like for many people is an important part of a human being human.

This thread bears seeing again and again - so I will boot it up to the top, so that the newbies can get hooked like the rest of us!!!!!!!!

In St Lucia noticed that if you see a cow, there usally was a bird sitting on the cow.
Similarly in Jamaica - those birds groom the bovines. They will also follow behind the cattle and grab bugs that are kicked up by the hooves.

Hey all. Here's the Labadee zipline video. Click:cool:
THAT is absolutely wonderful!!!! Had I been in that situation, the sound would have been of my screaming - not in fear, but in total joy!!!!!

They all had jellyfish. The person in your group was just unfortunate enough to be stung at one of the stops. I hope they're ok. But the ocean doesn't have natural gates and just as squirrels sometimes attack people in parks, jellyfish do occasionally sting. But they're not evil, it's just a natural defensive reaction. They don't come after you. There is some creams you can apply which provide some protection (you can goggle to find them) but getting a "thin skin" one-piece dive suit will provide the most protection (they're lycra based and extremely comfortable in the water).

Thanks, Randall. While you are singing to the choir here (marine bio instructor and former scuba diver) the OP should benefit. I was only trying to provide some info about what was happening recently. In class we have even watched the nematocysts discharge under the microscope - amazing stuff, that.

I see that a lot of people ask about sharks, but I'm terrified of jellyfish (get bit just once...)
Are there jellyfish in the Caribbean? Has anyone ever heard of someone getting stung on a snorkel excursion?
Just back from Dream trip to Western Caribbean. One in our group had a horrible reaction to jellyfish sting. I don't know which beach stop had jellyfish.
In any event - the venom caused her blood to form clots in her arm which became quite swollen and turned purple. On board, her arm was put in a sling. Once home, she had husband drive her to hospital - "do not pass go - do not go home first". She spent several days there. She is home now, but off work for a while - (she is a nurse).
So - yes - the jellies are out there. While generally not as dangerous as those of Northern Australia fame, they can be variously dangerous depending upon YOUR sensitivity.:eek::eek::eek:

A fan sounds like a BIG thing to pack along!!!! I don't know if there is any prohibition on them, but the first thing you will need to do is to bring an extension cord depending on where you want to position this. There is only ONE outlet in cabin - and you will need also to bring a multiple outlet thing.
A small hand held battery operated fan would be NO problem.
