No pool in the Harmony Solarium is a bit of a deal breaker for DH & I. We love spending long sea days reading out there & then going for a dip.
-
We felt that way after going from Carnival to Freedom of the Seas :D. I cannot imagine what the Allure would be like but, I hope to find out one of these days! Can't wait to read your review!
-
Available on Carnival Vista.
That is great news!
-
Nov 27th? We have the same time slot.
Hoping it will "replace" having FFTF as we were unable to secure it for this cruise.

Nope. Nov 16th. Hope you have a great cruise!

This will be our first time trying a Guys burger onboard. Based on the comments it looks as if I, will either really like it or hate it. There does not seem to be a lot of in between opinions about them. I am not a huge fan of messy burgers but, if they are good I will manage.
-
After several cruises I learned what I could live without while onboard.
To keep our cabin tidy I only have to do one thing........................follow behind my DH picking up his mess :D
-
Okay, thank you. :)
-
I had some difficulty yesterday. I had checked that I had read the cruise contract but, it kept saying I needed to read it. After a couple more times of unchecking/rechecking the box it took it.
-
Best was the steak I had at the steakhouse on the Dream. Really the whole meal was absolutely delicious.
Worst was probably anything the staff recommended. It is usually what they are trying to get rid of. :rolleyes:
-
Does anyone have any idea how many people are allowed in at one time? We have 11 - 11:30 on the Vista in Nov and wonder how many others may have the same time frame. I am thinking hundreds?
-
Hooray! Just booked my check in time on the Nov 16th Vista sailing. One less thing to worry about. :)
-
I had not yet heard about the new bungalows. They look really nice. Thanks for posting!
-
When we were checking in to the Dream there was an issue and we were told Guest Services on board would have to resolve it. Guest Services told us that the folks at the check in's were not Carnival employees but, private contractors and that was the reason.

As other's have said, I would not give up on cruising because of a less than great first one. My first cruise was no picnic either. I had terrible sea sickness and fell down a flight of stairs (Not due to alcohol). You can see from my signature I have cruised many other times since then. I think you just need a larger ship or different line with more "bells & whistles" than the Ecstasy affords.
-
Yes we have decided not to go into Nassau or Freeport before. We have been a few times and honestly prefer the ship while in port. We sleep in and lounge around the pool just enjoying the quiet.
-
Our Nov 16th sailing is, "for the port". We have never been to New York and really wanted to experience it. The Vista being a brand new ship was also deciding factor though.
-
Definitely the shampoo/conditioner products Carnival provided in our spa cabin. Took the frizz right out of my hair. Loved them!
-
I understand that it goes up $5 in price if purchased on board. I really do not want the hassle of returning to the cabin to get drinks from purchased bottles. I understand if we drank 5 or so drinks per day it would be worth the cost.
I thought that you were allowed to purchase the package if there were like 5 full days left of the cruise???? Maybe not. Thanks anyway.
-
We are sailing on the Vista's 11 day repositioning cruise from N.Y. to Miami in Nov. The price of the drink package is $1148.86 for the entire cruise. That's enough to take another cruise LOL! Although my DH wants the package, I do not want to pay this much for it. We are not big drinkers or specialty coffee fans. I would like to compromise with him. Does anyone know how far into the cruise we could still purchase the package to reduce the price?
-
My first cruise was on the Carnival Sensation and I booked because of the price. I continued to cruise on Carnival for the next four cruises. We then decided to try something different & started cruising with RC. We are returning to Carnival this fall because we wanted to try the Vista & to cruise out of New York. Carnival remains a good value for the money but, we find quality entertainment is where they lack, at least to us.
-
995 days ago since we sailed on the Dream. This Nov our Vista cruise will be the first cruise on Carnival since then.
-
116 days until our Vista cruise & 128 days until our RC Enchantment of the Seas cruise.
-
On my last Carnival cruise, I was able to order a flat iron steak when there was nothing on the menu that I wanted. Is this still the case?
-
I would also recommend bringing your own snacks. We bring our own Sun Chips now. The staff put out a tray of them in the Solarium at lunch time but, oh my goodness! The guests swarmed to get them every day. It was like chum to sharks LOL! :p I saw a lot of folks eating them during movies & thought, that's a good idea! We also like to bring peanuts. I believe the Pringles were something like $6 a can. :eek:
How many Hr/Days before the cruise your bags are ready?
in Royal Caribbean International

I will have everything laid out but, won't pack clothing until the day before to try and keep the wrinkles down. Now the carry on is packed the week of the cruise.
