Can you use your S&S card to pay for bingo or does it have to be cash?

It has to be your S & S card.

Prices on board is no excuse for anyone to lie. People should drink less or not cruise if they can't afford the price of the alcohol.

Wow! :halo:

Two weeks ago on the Pride it was a thin fleece blanket.

Latest update "Fortunately the Pride has made up some time throughout the afternoon. As of now, our arrival time may still be delayed." Another update by 9:30 AM.

They are asking that people do not arrive at the terminal until after the final update.

Due to high winds the Pride will be delayed coming back to port April1, 2018. They will update again at 6:00 pm. :(

Just got a call offering to go from an Ocean Suite to a Grand Suite for $692. Since we are three women in the cabin the extra room would have been great but it comes with an extra price of $230 each. I sadly said no. Someone please tell me I did the right thing. :confused:

That is unfair! I am a baby boomer, and I do not bitch non stop to stop a tour bus! And I have NEVER considered my hubby and myself as only thinking of “me, me, me”. We raised 5 children and now have 14 grandchildren, so we never had time or the money to just think of “me”. Please don’t group me along with your preconceived notion of what my generation was like. We worked our asses off to get anywhere, starting from nothing to get a home, etc, where as most younger generations want to walk right into a home right out of HGTV, so please stop with your generalizations of our generation.

Well said and we were taught to have respect for the "older" folks. What goes around, comes around and everyone reaches those Golden Years eventually. ;p

I use Allianz. They have 3 levels of coverage. I suggest you plug in your info to Allianz and Travel guard and get quotes. It’s easy and free to get quotes online. I have used Allianz classic plan for my last 4 Carnival Cruises.

I have also used Allianz many times and find the cost to be less than the cruise lines and some other Companies. Only had to put in a claim once and it was handled quickly and efficiently.

November cruise on the Pride I won $450 at bingo and a free cruise in the casino.

Have done the Pride 6 times.

It's usually done a little after 7:00 pm and not every night lately.

Half Moon Cay:hearteyes:

I can say from experience that it will be a nightmare for people on the ship trying to get flights changed. When it happened to us we had a 9 hour wait at the airport before catching a flight home. Would we do it again....in a heartbeat! Cruise is so worth it.:')

It took a few days for her to figure it out but she did get the discount so the $75 bottle ended up being $60.00 (no tax).

 

Thanks for the tip!

 

Cheers!

Are you talking about a Carnival TA? My PVP said she gets no discount and in fact pays the same price as we do when she cruises.:confused:

If you wait and order the alcohol through room service once on board, would there be a delivery charge?

The ones we have attended have been at 5:00pm. There is no dress code as many people will not have unpacked by then. Usually lasts about an hour. The first raffle drawing will be done here also. The rest of the drawings will be in the casino and you must be present to win. :)

Hi All, I am looking to book a cruise on the Pride. I just have one question, sorry if it is a bit strange I will explain. For anyone who has stayed in the Ocean Suite rooms that have the vanity area next to the bathroom, is there a sliding door that closes and/or locks that vanity area? I suffer from stress induced hair loss :( and for the sake of my self-esteem, I need to do my hair in private. I've watch several videos that gave tours of the room, one guy even showed the outlets in the vanity area, which was great I can use my hair dryer. In the same video I saw a strike plate on the door jam and what looked to be a rolling door that closed that area, but it went by really quick so I couldn't be certain.

 

Any information is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Yes there is a sliding door leading into the vanity area.

We're leaving on the Splendor this Saturday and I received an email last night that says the following:

Due to operational considerations, we expect to open terminal doors at 1:30 PM. With this in mind, we kindly ask that you add one hour to your Arrival Appointment and plan to get to the cruise terminal promptly within the new time. Guests who arrive outside their new Arrival Appointment can expect to have longer wait times in line.

Our paperwork says to check in at 12:30. Does this mean that instead we need to check in at 1:30 instead? We've never traveled with Carnival before. Thank you!

That is what it means. We got this message once for Baltimore but it was a 4 hour delay. They would not let anyone in until the time they specified. :(

We are cruising out of Baltimore later this year and need to go to BWI for an early afternoon flight.

 

There will be five of us and I’m thinking we will not all fit in one taxi. Are any of the taxis at the port a van and if so do they typically charge more? I know I could do a shuttle but I’ll have no idea when I’ll be off the ship and I’d prefer not to wait so I can make my flight.

 

Thanks in advance

There are usually vans available just as you leave the terminal. Look for a person holding a sign KD ELITE Transportation. Tell him what you need and he will radio for the van to pull up. I imagine you could contact them in advance and make a reservation. 1-888-808-1212. We have used them several times and have been very satisfied.

My mother has two artificial knees and she gets the pat down every time. She joking refers to it as her pre cruise massage lol

Good one...I'm going to use that! ;p

Yes. Here are the terms:

1Cardmembers who use their Carnival Mastercard to purchase a Carnival shore excursion on Carnival.com prior to their cruise, will receive a 10% discount on the shore excursion package (taxes and fees are not included in the discount). This discount will appear on the same billing statement as the shore excursion package purchase. Shore excursions may be booked online prior to sailing up until the Pre-Sail cut-off time of 11:30 pm ET, the evening prior to the cruise departure. The statement credit will be posted to their account within 1-2 business days and will appear on their account billing statement within 1 billing cycle. Please note, if a statement credit is going to be more than $2,499, it will require a few extra days to post to the cardmember's account.

Thanks so much for the quick response. :)

That's old and no longer valid However, if you have a Carnival MC from Barclay's you can get 10% off excursions when using the card. The only benefit that's worth anything to me besides the initial free $100.

I do have the MC card from Barclays but was not aware of the 10% discount. Is this available when booking excursions on line prior to the cruise?

Thinking of flying into Orlando the day of the Magic cruise and using Carnival for tran. to port. Can any one who has experience with this tell me if it went well. We are not interested in renting a car and the hotel packages are pretty steep. Thanks for your input. [this would be in May]

i notice one poster answers with a negative comment on every question about goportcanaveral!!?? think this may be overdoing it a bit. Am using this service in december...will report back...everyone have a blessed day.:)

Do you have any feedback on using this service? I may have missed it but couldn't find any report from December. Any info is appreciated.

4pm this afternoon I get a call from carnival. We leave for Vista in the morning. We booked inside cabin on deck 7 aft. Offer was for Havana Extended Aft Balcony on deck 7 for $400 total. OMG! Jumped on this fast.

 

Never give up hope!!!!!:p

Can't blame you, your great cruise will now be even better.:)
