Thanks to you all for the  information.  Heres hoping we get a nice balcony.

Thanks for the info

I did the Sunrise in November 2021 and Conquest in January 2022, approximately two months apart.  By far, liked the Sunrise better.  Conquest was good ship, easily managed, and fun.  Sunrise seemed a little more modern and upgraded.   Sunrise has larger Bonsai Sushi whereas, on Conquest, sushi was just at a walk up window.  Just nicer on Sunrise.   Just my personal opinion.

I am sorry if this has been asked multiple times.  Husband and I are platinum cruisers, so not newbies.  We usually book specific cabins, but this time we got an exceptional deal on a guarantee (Carnival picks room) balcony.  My question is how far out from cruise date does Carnival notify us of our particular cabin.

Any insight will be appreciated.  Thanks

Wow, Talk about almost last minute as we sail tomorrow.  Now I am excited.  Awaken this morning to a room assignment.  Actually, great assignment.  Went from Interior Upper/Lower to regular Interior mid ship, mid deck.  Yeah  very happy that my fat hiney does not have to climb a ladder.  Bon Voyage and Happy Valentines. 

Thanks for ypur cheery  and encouraging responses

Husband and I booked last minute cruise for Valentines Day.  We booked last cat available...upper/lower interior.  We are seasoned cruisers on various lines and have stayed in all cat of cabins.  So we got the To Be Assigned.  We are now two days out from sailing.  When might we expect a cabin assignment? 

Help would be soothing to the nerves.

Thanks for the reassurance from all of you. DD is gung ho. She has been diving a while now and usually takes advantage of every opportunity during cruises. However, I do not recall one of them ever scheduled so tight with sailaway.

Feeling anxious now. :eek: I just purchased a dive for my 20 year old daughter through Carnival while we are in Cozumel. When ordering, it just said a 4 hour duration. After I placed the order and paid for it, it shows up on our invoice as being from 11:30 to 3:30. All aboard will be at 3:30 as we are scheduled to sail at 4. I know that Carnival waits for their excursions. My question is knowing this is an extremely small group, would something like this slip their minds before pulling anchor. Is there any way this boat will sail without my daughter on it?:confused:

We did this exact cruise seven years ago, and there have been several cruises on larger ships since that one. We're very much looking forward to this getaway!

 

 

Hey Teacher,

We have cruised from number of ports but never from Mobile. Can you tell me if I need to pre-purchase on-site parking? We are staying in Saraland night before cruise. Help will be appreciated.

We leave on December 26th. Cookie

I recall seeing conversation about this on here several times but cannot seem to locate it now: Your response will be appreciated.

Both DH and I had really good offers for casino pack and play. SO, in order to take daughter and niece, we booked two cabins. I am in one with niece and DH is in one with daughter. Both cabins are linked to the same credit card account. How easy is it to switch out and put the girls together. DD is 20 and niece is 17. Is this possible? What steps do we need to do to accomplish this if it is possible?

Can anyone provide some details about Mobile/Port of Alabama?

 

Easy to drive to. Not far off of the interstate and well marked directions.

 

Just curious as to what to expect...is it comparable to Miami, Canaveral, Jaxville, Charleston, Tampa?

 

I think it is one of the easiest to get in and out of. I have sailed out of

Canaveral, Jacksonville and Tampa. I like Mobile because the parking deck is right next to the terminal. We dropped off our bags and then parked our car and walked directly over to the terminal. No crossing the street or long walk.

It is easy to get to, what about parking on site and off site, terminal, etc.

 

I have never parked off site but the terminal seemed like a great, secure option.

We usually drive in the day before and stay at one of the nearby hotels. My favorite are the Renaissance Riverview Hotel and the Hampton Inn. Both are very close to the cruise terminal. We have done one of the hotel packages where you leave your car at the hotel and a limo takes you to the terminal on embark day and picks you up after the cruise is over.

 

Several things to see in Mobile. The Battleship Mobile, Bellingrath Gardens, a couple of museums and not far from the beaches.

Here is a link about Mobile's hotels, and other attractions.

Hope you enjoy Mobile.

Thanks for the insight princess. This is exactly what I was looking for. Cookie

Forgive me if there is a thread on this subject...just could not find what I was looking for.

Also, INterested in how the staggered check-in works. We got 11-1130 as checkin time. While we have cruised often, we have been able to evade the staggered check in process until now.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Happy Sailing to you all.

Has anyone cruised on Carnival on New Years eve? If so are there any special events or activities for this holiday?

Huge deck party. Champagne (cheap) flows freely during embarkation and on at the deck party, They put party favors and hats on dining tables in mdr. We have done New Years cruises for three years and love them

He needs to sit on the edge of the pool everyday during peek sun hours (11-2) and strike up conversations with the other young adults. Then they make plans to meet up after dinner. They go the karoke, the dance club, adult comedy show, sports deck, and even the casino. My daughters have always found some people to hang out with in the evenings. Our youngest daughter is in college and has gone on the last three New Years Cruises during her winter break. She loves it. Your son will love it too.

Jealous.....i still have 17 days to go. Have a wonderful time on valor. Husband and i sailed on valor last summer and loved the ship. Really liked the serentiy area.

Bon voyage to you all

Only one tender. Belize city. If you have early excursion would be worth it or u can just be one of first few to arrive at Eagles lounge for tender ticket numbers beginning at 730 am. We had number 15 and was off ship 1100

Just off valor this morning. Serenity exists as previous posters mentioned. One special place is directly center of deck facing forwArd. Clam shells abound

Happy anniversary and Bon voyage

Thanks all for well wishes. Fresh up all our summer attire and ironing today. Then only 4 1/2 work days and I'll be 95 southbound. Cannot wait for that first DoD

My Hips have been hurting all day....from all of the dancing.. Single Digit Dance. 7 days to go. Woo Hoo.:D

The college games were shown on New Year's Day on fascination last week. Had large screen in main show theater. Lots of football fans with plenty of waitstaff. Fun
