I set up an etrade account, super simple.

We will be on this cruise also, and I’m looking to find a good one also! Luckily we have some time.

Get an old fashioned watch. My hubby can’t be without one, luckily, so always rely on it.

We are doing the same itinerary in October. St Thomas it’s easy to get to Maagens Bay, there are shuttles back and forth all day. It’s a nice beach. Trunk bay is beautiful too, but it’s a bit much to get there since it’s on a whole other island. (IMO) we booked the honeymoon beach party cycle boat, something different this time. we’ve never been to Dominica so we are doing the wacky rollers rainforest tour. Barbados we plan on boatyard beach, it looks beautiful. Idk why no excursions show yet! Weird.

Sounds more like a carribean cruise than an Alaska cruise!! 🤣 brrrrrrr!

We are doing a 12 day in October! Can’t wait!

HMC = flip flops!

We bought a bottle of Seagrams for our cruise last month and I see it’s no longer on the list for our October cruise. Very limited selection now!

Which beach is this? Public as discussed above or a different one? TIA!

We are probably on the same sailing. It’s a Journeys cruise so I think they have extra stuff they offer. We just did the Panorama and it was packed, lots of kids, so I have a feeling this might not have as many. It’s also over Halloween so I assume there will be costumes that night. That should be fun.

On Panorama last month we had FTTF and there was a worker kinda guarding the doors prior to 1:30. I showed him my boarding pass with the FTTF on it and he let us go back to drop off our bags. Rooms were ready at 1:30.

We cruised on Feb 18, ate at Cuncina first day at lunch, it was really good! Probably only 1/5 of the tables taken, very fast. Then we went down and had the funfetti cheesecake everyone raves about. yum!

Myself, I would go for the balcony. If the Terrazza area had a pool I would go for that, but it doesn’t.

I did NCL and Carnival Spirit last year to Alaska. They were both absolutely wonderful cruises, different but equal.

Carnival is cracking down on the ob credit for the casino rate cruises. The one we just took, which was a freebie, we got the credit. The one we booked for October we were told NO! I’m ok with that, since it’s costing us $15 a day for the cruise for the 2 of us….

Panorama

This was our experience 2 weeks ago, EXCEPT disembarking. Not sure what the hold up was but we didn’t get off until almost 11:00. They called the people carrying off first, by muster. If we had know it would take as long as it did we would have done that! 🤷‍♀️ glad our flight wasn’t until 4:30 but we had bought tickets to the aquarium and that was a waste.

Yes, he was on our whole cruise. When we were heading towards Victoria he would keep an eye out and come over the loud speaker (well, the whole cruise, but that’s when I remember the most as I was listening for him in the room) and let us know where to look for wildlife. I think his name was Dan.

Yes, it’s been the last couple years they have been in the mailbox outside your room. I saw that video and I don’t understand how charges could have happened…. Especially at the casino. To add money to a machine you have to input month and year of birth. There is no way someone could have taken the cards and known that info. And your picture comes up on the screen when they swipe your card, so what are the odds they looked like that womans aunt?

Turning platinum on next cruise, and it’s a 12 day so I’m also wondering about the laundry. Specifically, how does it come back to you? Folded? Hanging ? How do you tip for it?

Ballroom dance classes?!?! My hubby is going to hate me!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

We are doing our first on the Venezia out of NYC (our first time there!) and our first time to Barbados, St Lucia, and Dominica. It’s a 12 day, was wondering about elegant nights, how many and what nights they will be on? And will there be different menus because it’s a Journeys 12 day? It also goes to St Thomas and St Maarten.

Ours was an interior room for the Oct - 12 day cruise, $100, back as OBC. Free drinks while playing. Couldn’t pass it up! 3 ports we haven’t been to. And haven’t been to nyc before so ex for that.

We booked the carnival 8am transfer to JFK for our 1pm flight. I think we should be ok? It says to make sure your flight is no earlier than 1:00. This will be on a Thursday.

I guess I’m a minority, I like it on the phone. I hate seeing all that paper waste. I just keep my phone in my pocket and pull it out to see what is happening. It’s that or carry a piece of paper? 🤔
