We received a phone call to upgrade to an ocean suite for $600 on the Magic a couple of months back. It was an accessible cabin, so it was even a little larger than the regular ocean suites. It was amazing! There was a separate changing area, two sinks, a tub and a shower. The room was huge! I am not sure how big a regular ocean suite is in comparison to the accessible, but you would most definitely enjoy the extra space. However, like you said, $1300 is a big jump. If you have the extra money, I say do it! But beware, you will never want to stay in a regular balcony cabin again! If it was me, I would stick to the regular balcony and book another cruise with the $1300! The $600 we spent to upgrade was split among myself and two of my sisters. It was a no brainer for us! Plus, I booked that cruise during the 50% off 50th birthday sale! I don’t think we will ever see those prices again. Enjoy your cruise whatever you decide!

We booked this interior type cabin for our upcoming British Isles cruise. Our PVP just made sure we were between the lifeboats. These are actually cheaper than the OV cabins. If you go on that You____ site and do a search for Carnival Legend 4141, you can take a look. This video is a few years old when it was French doors, but you will get an idea of what you will have. This particular cabin does give you a view.

My sister and I knocked out the power in our cabin on Mardi Gras last year because she was using a blow dryer while I was using the flatiron. We called our room steward, and he got it fixed while we were at dinner….just be aware, one product at a time!

We do not port in Aruba until 1:00 pm. From what I have read, this will be 2:00 island time. Are there any Jeep rental companies near the port that will allow after hours drop off? I have found that Thrifty is open until 10:00 at the airport, but if there is something more convenient, I would rather go that route. Thanks for any info!

Just wanted to let you know we made it! We were flying back to Atlanta, and there was no possible way to get there any quicker, as we did not sit down at a gate to wait. We had to see an agent before making our initial flight in Vancouver. I’m not sure what was going on, but the West Jet agents did not start checking people in until after 4:00, then the agents were continuously having issues, maybe they were new hires or maybe there were computer issues. Then, most of our carry ones got pulled to search. We literally got to this flight as final boarding was being called. Thankfully, in Calgary, customs was quick and easy. We walked onto this flight as well with no waiting. All in all, we had good experiences with Air Canada and after initial check-in, West Jet. We had never flown either airline. Thanks again for the information you gave me. It did help my nerves!

Thank you so much! This is great information. I will make sure to look for the electric shuttle. We will range in age from 5 to 78, so I think this will spend up the process. Hopefully, we we will be lucky and get that D gate! You have been quite helpful, and I do feel somewhat better about it. I will have to come back and let you know if we made it!

Looks like 6:00 AM is the earliest flight out of Vancouver. Hopefully, we will make it. Since we booked through the cruise line, it would have been $250 change fee US, plus the going rate of the flight. My response to the rep was, “so, it looks like we are going to just try and make our connection”. A lot can happen. We will see how it plays out. If it was just me, I wouldn’t be as worried, but I booked this same flight for 6 of my family members as well. A few of them have work to get back to the next day….including me, but I work from home and could at least catch up on emails.

Thank you, we are flying West Jet, but it is worth a try! Plus, it is good to know that Calgary is smaller for international flights and customs should not be long….knock on wood! We are flying on Monday 6:00 AM out of Vancouver, so I hope this is in our favor as well. Would you happen to know if we have to pick up our luggage and check it again? We are flying West Jet the entire way. The rep from Royal Caribbean said no, but he had no idea you could go through US customs in Canada. He put me on hold to confirm what I told him.

Thanks, that is what I was afraid of. I booked these flights thinking the entire time we would go through customs in Vancouver. It dawned on me last night that YVR to YYC is a domestic flight. We have a little over 1 1/2 hours to get through customs and make the flight in Calgary. I hope it is doable! I would have never chosen this connection had I been thinking sanely! Maybe we will luck up and our flight be early and the lines be short.

We are flying back to the US from Vancouver with a connecting flight in Calgary. Will we go through customs at YVR or YYC?

He did have a van that would accommodate 6 people. You can find him at caolito using gmail. Got it? Not sure of all of the rules of this site.

We are back! We used Hector Caolo Alvarez in San Juan. He picked us up right outside the port. He gave us a private tour of del Morro Castle. Took us around Old Town and out to a market where we got very tasty smoothies. My mom hurt her ankle right before the cruise and then fell down the stairs the first night of the cruise, so she was not at 100%. Hector was very patient with us. He took her easier ways through the fort and directed my sister and I other ways, so we could see more of it. He did a great job. I would use him again!

It was between 7:00 and 7:15. It anyone with a certain muster station with self assist, along with Platinum/Diamond self assist.

I turned Platinum on the last cruise. I got Platinum luggage tags but had a gold card. I was treated as gold all week, until I was invited to the Platinum/Diamond Party and was allowed to have early disembarkation. When there was no line, I asked guest services about it. They just told me I would be Platinum next cruise. When I went to pick up my gift, I was told I could only be given what my card signified….so the answer to your question is, maybe.

You don’t have to use VeriFLY to board. Take all your paperwork and show them your vaccine card with your maiden name. We just cruised last week, and we just took all of our needed documents.
