Bar Harbor is already a tourist town. It doesn't need the cruise traffic.

If you wish to visit Key West, it might be best to book a land vacation.

Yes, no more bottles delivered to the cabin, either pre-order or via room service. Due to the recent uptick in "questionable activity" on some ships, Carnival decided to do this so they can control how much alcohol is served.

Unfortunately, you will be subject to whatever cancellation policies there are for the cruise. This is the reason to purchase travel insurance.

For the land portion, you should just bring your own. Hotels don't provide this like the cruise ships.

That's not Real ID. That's just using a different process to verify you.

Yeah, except you might get local currency back.

If you search this board, you will see many posts about POA's current restrictions. They aren't sailing anywhere near full due to staff shortages. Some of the restaurants are closed due to this.

I believe the company that did tux rentals for cruises went out of business, pre-pandemic.

Prepaid gratuities cover your stateroom steward, dining staff, and other behind the scenes people. If you purchase a drinks package or specialty dining package, you will be charged additional gratuity for those packages.

If you are in MA, I gotta say it's very easy to just drive to the port, and then get home when you get back.

I wouldn't even book that out of Ft Lauderdale.

I did this 12 years ago, so my information might be dated. I did this on the Crown. The Captain has a prepared thing, but I'm sure if you wanted to do your own thing it wouldn't be an issue. The ceremony took place in the chapel. We could not pick our day/time. It's based on the Captain's availability. Ours was scheduled for the first formal night right before the main festivities.

The "pasta bar" is only on ships with a Cucina.

It should be noted that Carnival requests that guests NOT email the Maitre D's. Any dining requests should be sent in via John Heald's Facebook page.

The Steakhouse doesn't operate this way.

I think part of the problem is that when Carnival switched to putting luggage tags out for taking, people take more than needed, leaving people who don't want to carry their luggage stuck doing so,

Any chance you will be in port when these need to be delivered? In which case, would be better to go to a Starbucks or something. I would not guarantee on the internet on ship to be robust enough for this.

A room for 3 will only have beds for 3. Have a kid sleep with grannie.

Taxi/Uber/Lyft.

The process at Cape Liberty is you drop off luggage then park. Usually the porters are right there to get your luggage. Not sure if Star Class makes a difference on that.

Most travel agent sites would have this. Unfortunately, we can't name names here.

Sure, you can go through the line with them.

I think it might be difficult to guess what will be next year with regards to crab. Alaska cancelled the king crab season this year.

YES!!!!! Unless you want unexpected charges, turn the cellular connection off on your phone.
