Our 5 hour excursion with Sandra's tour turned into 7 hours. We went up the Basque coast and did the !Guggenheim museum

Our A/C is stuck on frozen. Said they would fix it today.

Sorry. Have not decided yet. I'm now considering other cruises as well.

We are at Newark. Plane was suppose to go at 7 30pm. Now delayed until 9 15pm. Sigh

We are leaving tomorrow.

We are on this cruise with you. On Saturday we are doing Girona and Costa Brava with In-Out Barcelona Tours. We saw all the major Barcelona sights when we were there in 2018.

On our United nonstop from Newark to Barcelona they changed planes on us and went from a two across side to a bigger three across. We didn't want a middle seat so changed to two aisles next to each other. Both seats next to us have been vacant until today.😭 Was hoping for the extra room. Leaving tomorrow.

Hi. We are on the Pride leaving Barcelona a day before you. We will be on the Venezia in February so looking forward to your trip report.

I also got an upgrade offer but didn't know to where. I was afraid to click the red button in case it made me lose the cabin I was already booked in. In the future is it safe to click the red button without actually changing cabins, just to know what they are offering?

We are on this cruise with you as well as the B2B in Norway. It will only be our second Carnival cruise but if it's as good as the first one we will be happy. Looking forward to hearing your perspective.

Just FYI I did email the special services department and was turned down.

When did you find out your dining time for dinner and did you request any changes?

Do you have to do the on line check in or just see guest services?

Is there a public shuttle to Cocoa Beach? MSC wants $50pp which is crazy. We don't get in until after 1pm.

Looking forward to hearing about the ports. We are going to Norway on another cruise line in June.

I need to use one of those immersers (sp?) that go into a cup to boil water for a medical/dental problem. Do I have to get permission from someone at Carnival before I cruise or just explain if they catch it while boarding?

We are also on 10/25 Miraviglia. We live in East Brunswick. Uber gave us a quote of $75 each way. Just hope we can get one getting off the ship on 11/5.

Has anyone been able to book a room there in 2024? Their website seems only to go up to December, 2023 and January, February, March and April all have XXXX. Someone on the other social media site said to call them so I did. I asked if it was too early to book April, 2024 and was told no but all the dates I asked her about were "unavailable". So does this mean all the rooms are booked up, too early or just a computer glitch?

I tried to pay for internet with my AAA Visa card. Would not accept it. Switched to my husband's account. Still not accepted. Switched from Firefox to Chrome. NG. Restarted computer and tried again several times. Still no go. So then tried a travel Mastercard (only gives 1% instead of 3%). Took it on first try. I called the number on back of the Visa card and they said there was nothing wrong with it. Go figure.

So if we return the car after they close is there any transportation back to the cruise ship or are we on our own?

In 2022 our 9 day cruise stopped in Stavenger. This year it is stopping in Haugesund instead. Similar area but there are so many more options of things to do in Stavenger than Haugesund. Wonder if this is due to enviromental changes or the town is limiting number of ships.

I am booked this year for the fjords on Carnival. There are no fjord cruises on Carnival for next year. The Norwegian people are trying to stop the cruise ships from stopping in their villages.

I will be going on my second Carnival cruise in a few weeks. Did not play in the casino the first cruise. Plan to play now. Do you have to get a player's card or do you use the sign and sail card?

So. glad you enjoyed Funchal. When we were booked on the 2022 Epic TA we were in a group that was going to do the Tobbogan (sp?) run through the town. It looked like so much fun. We will be in Porto, Portugal in June and planning to take the yellow hoho bus too. I think they are run by the same company. I wanted to book them in advance through Viator, which in turn I book through AA Aadvantage so I do not lose my miles which are expiring. Unfortunately it got very bad reviews. People said most of the translators did not work and if you got off anywhere downtown it took a long time to wait for a bus back to the pier. Did you find this true on the bus you took?

Got the offer in October and used it. No offer now. Also had an offer for Celebrity that expired March 31st. Would have loved to use that one ($350 off $1000) but didn't want to give them that much for a non refundable fare.
