new england has tender ports like Bar Harbor and Newport thus needed smaller ships to get to these ports. big ships usually do not tender

most likely the captain was trying to beat the storm to get to port early then the officials closed the port causing that plan to get canceled forcing to the ship to wait it out at sea. if they had any advance warnings of the impending port closing then the ship could of stay behind the storm in calmer waters. weather technology only comes so far when you bound by what port officials tell you

i have a sinking feeling they will revert back to the seasonally summer season with the same boring ports. i doubt they will ever be more southern caribbean cruises like they are currently offering. Carnival does not want to complete with Royal, NCL and now MSC that are doing year round sailings

Bermuda and Bahamas does not have the 6 month expiration requirement. the passport will be fine for the cruise

i have 2 Bermuda cruises for October and November, with this sale both of my cruises went up about 300-400 dollars when this sale went into effect. if you can, it might be best to wait till the sale is over

Sunshine is finally docking, ship is near the terminal

noticed the same thing. i cruise on the oasis on my birthday and nothing happening

it looks like the ship is finally about to the enter the harbor and should be docking in about 1 hour

no price limit. appetizer, entree, sides and dessert is included

parking is 30 dollars a day at the port. they have a garage and a few overflow lots

usually ready around 1:30/2ish

my inside cabin on the oasis had this feature

that's because the ship is about to begin its inaugural sailings, from the first transatlantic to the first few cruises out of NYC

wifi calling using ship internet is very spotty, sometimes it works and sometimes it dont

the correct email address is shareholders@carnival.com

around 30 minutes or so

other cruise lines have figure out how to use onboard credit to make purchases for excursions and other things before the cruise and does not need to be used onboard. It would be great if Norwegian update their ancient system and be like other cruise lines

there is no status transfer between princess and carnival, it is two different cruise line status

Customs may not need any photo ids due to facial recognition. they use your boarding photo as the picture it uses to find you. Earlier this week i got off the oasis that also docks at Bayonne and it uses the facial recognition system

i never book with a travel agent. during the covid era, i never received a gift card refund and the issue for me was my address not on file in one of the many systems carnival uses. once they added the address i got the gift card within a few days i also noticed that once they updated the address in that system, my emails with my booking confirmation now has my address on it whereas before it had a unknow address

Looks much better then the Encore

Usually it is a year and half in advance so sometime between January and April 2024

mostly like a special sailing for travel agent, they alway do it for the new ships

there is only one carnival ship in port, look for the whale tail. should be easy to find the ship will be using Terminal F

Anthem of the Seas does not have Cats, only the Oasis of the Seas have that show
