I was on this cruise last week and I agree the kids were HORRIBLE! I witnessed several instances.

There are several pool balls at the bottom of the Gulf. I saw a kid start throwing them off the 12th deck near the pool tables. I told security and they shrugged it off. Also saw a kid throw a golf club as hard as he could all they way across the putt-putt course and shattered an outdoor intercom speaker. 

Our family was hoping to cruise soon but the cruise vaccine mandates are making it nearly impossible to cruise with kids that have not had the shot. It seems that cruising is the only place I am aware of that still requires proof. Since restaurants, schools, hotels, airlines, and amusement parks do not require proof, do the cruise lines follow soon? 

Just seeing if anyone had any insight on the possibility of the cruise lines lifting the requirement. 

Cheers and sail on friends! 

Since Carnival is requiring kids to be vaccinated to cruise, we will be canceling our upcoming family cruise this summer. I see people are saying to call when they open at 9am, is that 9am Eastern time? And in the email I did not see a phone number posted, does anyone have a good number to call? 

Thank you and happy sailing to those who are cruising! 

I received my credit card refund last week for a cruise that was set to sail in May. The credit card refund took only a few weeks but I still have a portion of my cruise that was paid for by a gift card.

Does anyone have any experience with getting the gift card back? How long does it take and how do I get it? 

Thanks!

~3/30:  Carnival cancelled cruise scheduled for 5/2.

4/2:  I requested full refund

5/7:  Received Amex refund for just my prepaid room charges (water, massage)

5/22:  Received remaining balance refund back to Amex.

5/22:  Recieved a gift card in mail for what i paid with gift cards(via Fedex)

 

Now i am curious as to when Amex will charge back for the $200 in promo credit they gave me.

I am wondering the same thing about Amex charging back the $100 offer/benefit I used??? 

I also have another part of my refund coming back to a credit card I no longer have, probably never seeing that credit. Anyone else in this situation? Carnival said they can only refund the card that was used. 

I am sure its been discussed so I apologize in advance. 

Has anyone rebooked a cruise using credit from a cancelled reservation that is less than the original reservation cost? If so what happens with the difference? 

We originally had a cruise leaving March 12, 2020 but cancelled the day before due to CDC's recommendation. CCL was allowing cruisers to cancel and use that cost for a future booking. Now we are ready to book and the new cruise is lower, is it a wash or is the difference applied to your OBC? 

Also has anyone rebooked and had that cruise cancelled? This seems like a nightmare for booking agents to track and credit the right amount towards a future cruise. 

Cheers and stay safe! 

Thanks! 

I booked an upcoming cruise with a casino offer of $500 OBC and I think "Drinks on Us". I believe there were other perks but I can not remember. My question is, is there a way to see the original offer or what all is included? I see the OBC on my account but no where does it say about the DOU or other casino perks. 

Thanks and cheers! 

Not sure how to post and really do not want to scan all the pages but I will mail them to whoever wants them. Not sure if you want to post your address publicly, but if there is a way to do a private message let me know.

Thanks

Just off the Breeze today and the itinerary was leaving Galveston going to Cozumel, Belize and Roatan. I kept all the Fun Times, and if someone is on the same itinerary soon and wants them let me know.

Does anyone know what time the chefs table starts?

I've read were Camp Ocean starts at 7 each night, so wondering if my wife and I could do the chefs table on the Breeze with the kids doing Camp Ocean?

Thanks!

Who do you email, I am on a "bounce back offer" later this month.

How can I contact the casino before I sail?

And we should expect day two in a couple weeks?

Good so far, try to keep it going!

What happens if your cruise starts in May and ends in June? Do they keep the May movies the whole cruise?

Thanks!

I got a BB offer on a cruise about a year or so ago, but could not use it. Last year I was playing around on the Carnival site and saw I had a GREAT casino rate ($100 per person), so I grabbed it and we cruised over Valentine's Day. On that cruise, I earned enough points for another BB offer which I am using for a 4th of July cruise. I also am getting the DOU card as soon as I board and don't have to earn the 1,500 points. :D

I am going out in a few weeks with a casino free BB offer, how do you know you are getting the DOU as soon as you board? Did you ask or is this with all Casino BB offers?

I received the BB offer on my cruise last summer and did not take it last year, but since then I was constantly getting offers for free cruises and casino cash. So I grabbed a balcony on the Breeze leaving in late May this year.

Last year I was given the DOU after the first night, I play only craps and BJ.

Thanks!

He is too big for the bunks!

I am 45 days out and no luck so far finding Carnival offering the FTTF (and I am checking a few times a day).

Has anyone had luck purchasing the FTTF so close to their departure date?

Thanks and Gig'em!

Wonderful review!

Could you discuss the advantage of Larry's Limo over the cab on departure day? Is the cab line long and unorganized compared to Larry's? What was the cost of your cab ride?

Again thanks for a great review! Our family can not wait to cruise on Breeze this summer.:)

Are you western or eastern?

We just got back from the eastern FOS, and before we left I tried to book Chops online and the only times they had was 5:30. When we boarded, I went to Chops and they had many times for any day available. I guess they hold back some times for people who don’t book online.
