    Pictures of balconies glory or Conquest

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    Posted

    I think I should mention that 7440, 7442, and 7444 are all rear facing extended balconies (they are deeper than a normal side facing balcony).Here is a picture of have of the Conquest ...QUOTE]

     

    Thank You for posting. We have 7442 for October 2017 on the Conquest

    We did have the same room location on the Dream. Love the aft balcony but couldnt justify the expense for the corner aft with the "kitty corner" bed. The board won't let me upload my photos

    Review of the Dream Second Leg Journeys Cruise

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    Posted · Edited by panamatiger

    The Journey cruise was great. DH and I really enjoyed it. San Juan was a nightmare! We did the B2B. Guest Services advised us to go through Customs and go into San Juan instead of sitting around the terminal and waiting for the ship to clear. We did that and it was a mistake. When we went to get back on we said we had the In Transit Guest cards. We were sent into a line and the wait began! Someone from Carnival finally came and added four people to move it faster (only two to start). When he told two to put the paddles down and take from the VIFP line, one said no and walked away with the other one. The Carnival guy brought us to a young man who couldn't get into the computer and requested help. He wanted the health form and credit card form which we had filled out onboard. The guy from Carnival finally told him just to go get our Sign & Sail cards and take the photo. He had a hard time finding the cards. He took the photo and we went find some space to stand and wait to get thought security. That was a mess in itself. When we got downstairs, we found out the photo needed to be taken again because it didn't appear. Over two hours to get back on board! What a way to start the second cruise! They were a lot of frustrated people trying to get on board. John said they don't usually have that many Platinum and Diamond member getting on. Carnival doesn't keep track and make adjustments?

     

    Did the B2B also. Must have had the travel Gods with us. We got off the ship about 9am and came back at 4:30 pm. We had heard from other sail-ers that it got crazy; especially those coming on board. Yeah,,,it was Hot that Sunday in San Juan. There were 4 ships in San Juan that Sunday also. The trolley system was overwhelmed. One van taxi pulled up to a trolley stop we were at...said $3 apiece and Ill drive you all to the Forts. No Problem !!!.. Still a great port city

     

    NCL Getaway - Watch Shopping in St. Phillipsburg

    in Norwegian Cruise Line

    Posted

    Below are a few links of some of the types of watches i am looking for. I was hoping that those who are watch fans as myself, and have been cruising recently, could give me a hand regarding where I may want to shop. Also curious if there are any "Caribbean specific" watch models I'm general, I am interested in Tag Heuer Aquaracer Quartz units, or possibly Oris TT1 Divers or the Oris Equis models. Here are a few examples of watches that I would be interested in looking at. I appreciate any feedback.

    I am so looking forward to this trip. I have recently survived beating cancer, and this trip with my wife and son will be very special for me.

     

     

     

     

    First off- let me congratulate you on your great Medical news. Certainly a reason to Celebrate !

     

     

    Now I'm not versed in watches; but Diamonds and Honesty. I found my blue and white diamonds Man's ring at http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g147346-d2354226-Reviews-Caribbean_Gems-St_Maarten_St_Martin.html

    You mentioned Caribbean Specific above.

    First cruise... so many questions, help me decide!!

    in Norwegian Cruise Line

    Staying the night never really occurred to us. I was thinking about flying in in the morning and going right to the ship. It says it departs at 4pm, is it not advisable to do that?

     

    Highly advisable to fly in minimally the day before. Experienced cruisers swear by this. Having personally made embarkation with 15 minutes to spare by flying in the same day--- too stressful.

     

    Tampa vs. NOLA -> NOLA wins ! The city is called the Big Easy for a reason. Do spend some time there pre-or- post cruise.

    8 of us from the Norwegian Dawn also did a six hour round the island and beach stop with Natasja. She has a wonderful personality and really was a lot of fun. We saw her Mom too at one of the beach stops.

     

    We suggest having aqua shoes for the beach. Not smoothe sand like in Magen's Bay but slightly rocky
