Crusin Hogs

Nice jeans/khakis and a polo for guys is more than sufficient on cruise elegant night. On every other night it's shorts/shirts.

Same here ,, shorts and t-shirts non elegant nights , nice jeans and a polo elegant nights

The Breeze is the best of Carnival ,,

Just like to throw out there...If the baby is crying in the room...the neighbors can hear it loud and clear. I've been the neighbor.

Same here there is no insulation in the walls between cabins ,, Carnival did give us 30% off our next cruise ,because of the crying next door ,, Us and the people on the other side of crying baby ,, Security did go to there room and let them know they needed to do something about the crying

close to sailing date ,, most book up to a year out

Most taxi's in any island country including Mexico ,you won't find seat belts ,, There are no seat belt laws .. You may see 3-4 people on a motorcycle there also , 4 wheelers are a form of transporation on the roads to

I haven't ever been assigned a boarding time. Are you talking about the final boarding time that's on the boarding pass? I think that is 3.00

You have to get a check in time ,,That is the time you are allowed to enter the cruise terminal ,,, and they enforce it

Hate it.

Understand the need for it, BUT hate it.

Being packed in like sardines in the hot sun.

Hate it.

That is only on the older ships , All new ships you are in A/C in Mdr's , theater , clubs ,Dream , Magic , Breeze , Vista , Horizon are all done inside , Not out on the decks

We book thru Carnival , usually do 250-500 down ,Pay what ever ,when ever we want as long as you are paid in full by the deadline date

Galveston is free

To the OP who is a new cruiser, this was said tongue in cheek. The rules state that those things are not allowed in the MDR, yet some people still wear them and it offends some cruisers.

 

We always just wander into the MDR as soon as we board and look for our table. There is usually someone in there that will help you find it. That way on the first night, we just walk right to our table or booth and get out of the way of the people still looking for theirs.

 

Hope you have a great cruise and don't be surprised if you're hooked on cruising.

shorts and t-shirts are fine in MDR except elegant night ..

the best thing to do is check in for the muster and tell the crew member if there is an area for the special needs people. this way you can avoid the crowds and can sit down during the drill. depending on the ship, you have to stand in a very crowded area but the special needs area is usually in a lounge area

Only the older ,smaller boats ,do you still stand outside ,, The 5 newest ships ,you sit down inside , MDR's theater , clubs ect for muster drill

All 4 channels ,,,not much to watch

Been on 12 Carnival ships ,,Both The Magic and The Breeze ..The Breeze is the best of Carnival ,,The others don't compare ... Magic is nicer than The Dream ..The Breeze blows them both away

When i was on the vista last year they had hanging chairs outside some rooms. I noted scratches and damage to walls nearby. I think they will be a thing of the past in a few years.

Havana Cabins on the Vista has them

It's free at breakfast in the MDR , you can get the soda card , With that it can be gotten at all bars ,24/7

we’re traveling with a two year old that is gluten and dairy free. He eats organic,dairy and gluten free soup every day. It comes in a carton. Will we be able to get access to a microwave to heat the soup? His diet is very limited.

Are there any gluten free options on board?

No microwave's on a ship for public use ,,,

You can choose between OBC or parties. We have a group of 10 going and we are all getting $100 OBC per stateroom on the ship.

I got the same OBC booking 1 room

They may have added the steel drums back. For two or three of our cruises, they did not have any at all. I know there were a lot of complaints registered because they did away with them. It use to be a whole band with two or three steel drums. On our last cruise, it was one guy and he only played once or twice on the Lido deck.

Steel drums play everyday , on The Breeze ..no lack of them ,,,

Does Galveston port give you you s&s card at check in?

No they are in your mailbox outside the cabin , 1;30 PM if you are not a Diamond ,Plat ,or FTTF

Galveston will let you sit outside the terminal and get fresh air and hopefully sunshine until it is your check in time !

My moment is the exact second I hear the "boing" noise when I insert my seapass/ID card into the little slot.

Been awhile since you cruised ,The boing machine is gone , all cards are now scanned

Breeze is the best of Carnival ,, Been on 12 Carnival ships ,Breeze was the best

The Breeze is the best of Carnival ,,

Can't call the ship

We have sailed both ships ,,Breeze is a lot nicer ship than the Magic , 2 Different designers did the décor on the ships ... Breeze is pastels , beachy theme ,,,Nicest ship Carnival has
