apart from being bigger what exactly is the major difference between conquest class and the non-conquest one?

I have been on Inspiration and Paradise before and will be on Conquest in April and would love to know what is it that will awe me.

We are 5 of us and would like to have our own table(not shared). Can we request it?

I am looking for an excursion provider for Stingray and Turtle swim tour. Carnival has it but its $75 per pop and I have 5 people with me. On carnival website this plus Hell tour is $71 but I read that the tour is rushed so I would prefer just the Stingray and Turtle tour.

Just so that I am clear, I can cancel Carnival excursion's until 24 hours before the cruise itself for a full redund, correct?

The model pictured is the Belkin and it does twist. Worked fine on the Conquest

 

There were two models, the earlier one's USB jacks weren't powerful enough to charge an iPad, the later one does.

You are God. I did not know that. I pressed the white button on the back and put some pressure on the prongs and it turned ...sweet...Thanks all

No mine doesn't twist at all..Its a permanent alignment (vertical)...I don't like it and did not know before i bought it...so without twisting it horizontal it won't fit in?

Is there enough vertical clearance on the wall outlet that I can use a vertical outlet multiplier like the one I have attached to this post?

Carnival's policy reimbursed us for the on board medical expenses, but only after I had ran them through my Dad's health insurance. I just included the denial letter from Medicare and insurance company and they sent me a check. We had to put the fees on our credit card, before disembarking, even with the Carnival's policy:confused:

 

We have insurance through Allianz for our next trip and medical expenses are paid up to $50,000 as the primary policy.

My parents don't have any insurance....so does that make the secondary insurance our primary insurance?

My parents are not US Citizens. They have US tourist visas. When I do an online check-in the only option I see is to enter the PERMANENT (GREEN) CARD number and expiration. I am just entering the visa no and expiration in its place...That's okay right?

I am on the Empress mid-ship also in April, two decks up to the Lido and two decks down where the fun is.

Sweet...are you on the April 6 W. Caribbean cruise ? ;-)

Me(43) wife(38) and daughter(9) travel a lot. We have never bought insurance for any of our travels. However an incident 3 months back has changed my thoughts. We planned our vacation to China from Nov 20 - Dec 1, 2013. On Nov 12 my 9 year old daughter had severe pain on right abdominal side. Without getting into details, she had appendicitis emergency operation within 24 hours. She was discharged from hospital on Nov 14. Since the operation was laproscopic, doctor said he has to check her again on Nov 18 to make sure she is fine for travel to China. Everything was okay with her and we travelled to China for 12 days. One of the most amazing trips we have ever taken.

We are booked on April 6 cruise to W Caribbean with my 76 year old dad and 65 yr old mother. I am now looking for insurance which would cover a large part of medical if it arises. I see Travelguard Lite is about $130 for all 5 of us which seems pretty good and includes decent coverage. Any opinions on that?

where do you insurance? carnival or travel guard or what?

Myself got the offer. Me and family have been on Carnival only twice...both times we got the cheapest 3 day Mexican cruise out of LA. Past cruises were in like 2009 and 2011. We never walked into the casino ever in any cruise. We have never had a single alcohol drink or for that matter bought anything which will cost us out of pocket.

Empress mid-ship.

The whole process is BS. So Carnival denied my claim cos the advertised lower price offered one hour less than what Carnival advertises. So my plan is to take the denied claim printout with me to the ship and if Carnival's tour is not exactly 7 hours, I am going to demand a refund or BRG right there at the guest relations counter. Doesn't that sound right? I mean if Carnival says their excursion is 7 its got to be 7 hours else I have the right to demand a refund ..I am just playing by their rules.

Any insights would be helpful. I saw the deck layout and see the inside is near elevator...would that be okay? Nosiy? Can I call Carnival and change the stateroom without any penalty?

Thank you for contacting us. We appreciate the opportunity to be of assistance.

Thank you for submitting a Shore Excursions Best Price Guarantee claim. We regret to inform you that your claim was not accepted because the tour submitted was not similar to the tour on our program.

Specifically, our tour is longer in length than this tour by one full hour.

whats a PVP?

Thanks folks...Looks like I did the right thing getting a midship balcony on Empress :-)

I had booked excursion for 5 of my group on Carnival a few days back. Just yesterday I saw a similar offer from private firm for $20 less than Carnival and I applied for BRG on website. I still haven't heard from them and never received an email of acknowledgement. Anyone has BRG experience with Carnival?

I am seeing many posts here referring to folks booking aft balcony. Any reason for that? I booked a midship Balcony on the Conquest on the Empress(7) deck. Did I do anything wrong?

My husband and I both received letters today from Carnivals players club for free interior cabins and a nominal fee for upgrades. There were 6 cruises offered anywhere from 3 to 9 days in the next 4 months. Unfortunately, we had such a not so good time on the Pride in November we are going to pass. Seems they are giving out deals lately.

In what medium did he get the 1st and 2nd offer?

1) By email

2) By snail mail

3) By logging into his account.

Folks

did you all get the snail mail today or this past week? I am anxiously waiting..

Woo - Hoo ! We got a letter today too. It was using my husbands' VIFP number. We cruised last May. Our kids always have their own cabin next door but didn't get a letter.

 

We just booked an 8 day out of Galveston on the Magic June 29. Will be in Cozumel for the 4th of July ! We upgraded to a balcony and our total with taxes, the upgrade, and gratuities is $451.

 

We picked Galveston because it's a 14 hour drive and we won't have to buy usual airfare.

 

Awesome.

Congrats...Did you get the mail today?
