It doesn't look like WEE JIMMY ( RALPH ) will be CD for any of the ships.

I was looking forward to seeing him in Sept.

Has anyone heard anything about him ?

Char

wee jimmy's real name is Ralph valente.

The porters /or stevadores that John Heald refers to them as ,make about 20 bux an hour from what I understand.I understand they provide a service ,but they can do it w/the proper green motivation .

Does anyone have the schedule for 2015? Particularly for the Alaska cruises.

John Heald said that he will be posting it on tuesday.

It was very nice ,well worth the extra money .The food was great ,atmosphere is very romantic .Eaten there on the last two cruises on the Dream ,and plan on eating there again on our next cruise on board the Liberty.

Go on youtube and search for carnival breeze cove balcony.You can see from videos that other ppl. have taken of them.

Help

they call them 'in hull' balconies. They have a solid steel frame with a large picture window cutout. They are the second passenger deck, right close to the ocean.

Last two cruises we were in Coves ,never had any issues w/the spray .Was in 2248 last cruise last one closest forward ,great location ,loved it .

The shorter 5 day behind the fun tours are about 2.5 hours and $55.the 8 day behind the fun tours 3.5 hours are $95.

I'll have to look at our charges at home lol we are driving home still...almost there. Bill thinks they were $4 or $5. The Pale Ale Invasion was actually a stronger tasting beer imho. Served in cans :-) Glass optional (not on tap).

That is about what I thought.Thanks for the info.

We asked up on lido, but no one knew about these beers until we got down to the Red Frog Pub on deck 4 (Breeze). Emmanuel did not have them, but he went over to the Ocean Plaza bar and found them for us there! Great service!! The Florida Cracker was our fav :-)

How much was each beer ?

Every time they change their crappy website they have internal error's ,glitches ,you name it it has it .You would think that w/all the money they make off of the passengers they could at least get one that works at least half of the time.

bubbakirk43, you are gunna be sick of me by the end! I went CRAZY with the pictures! LOL

Love the pictures ,gets me excited about past and future cruises.

Enjoying the review ready to read more about y'all's cruise.

Sounds like we will try the Cove on our next cruise. Being quiet & close to the water sounds good. Thanks for the suggestion of checking out the youtube videos too.

You are very welcome ,have a great cruise.

I know cove balconies are close to the ocean, do you consider that location to be better than the regular balconies. Everything I have read gives the Cove excellent reviews. Given a choice, would a Lido deck balcony or Cove balcony be better ? Considering these two types for our next Carnival cruise. BTW, motion sickness does not affect either of us. TIA

The deciding factor for me would be the closeness of the water versus being higher up.The balconies higher up above deck 5 which has a lanai deck that goes all the way around the ship ,and to me not as private because other passengers walking down on that deck can look up onto the balconies above.The coves are more enclosed because of being below the lifeboats and not as much sunlight as the upper balconies ,but still enough to enjoy while sitting out on them.A lot of the time the coves are cheaper than regular balconies also ,but you can look at the different balconies on youtube videos and then make a determination for yourself.There are a lot of other factors to consider ,like if you want to be closer to the action like the lido deck ,or away from it.It was very quiet down there so that really appeals to us just our preference.

Can anyone tell me if cabin 2277 or 2285 is in a good location (eg not uner Galley) sorry for sounding so lazy but my PC won't display the deck plans, also are these cabins port or starboard?

 

TIA

 

Jo

Both are good choices .I stayed in 2284 and it was great.You have to go back in the middle 2300-2400's to be under the galley.

Fans Of Carnival's The PunchLiner Comedy Club,you can go to this group on FB ,and some of the comedians visit there and post their schedules.They normally get them a month in advance and no sooner ,so be aware of that when asking where they will be next.

If the $9 pp is roundtrip, then it's worth it. One way, no way;)

Enjoy your day here in Curacao!

No, it's not withing walking distance.

 

You will need to take a cab and the ride will be about 8 minutes from pier to the entrance.

Depending on how adventurous you are, you can also take a local bus. You can find the bus depot after you get out of the pier area, pass Starbucks and the movie theater, then cross the street. The attendant at the sales booth will tell you which bus to take. Tell them you want to go to Hook's Hut, behind the Hilton (many locals are not used to the new name yet:) ).

Thanks for the response Isa65,we are looking to possibly going on a lunch snorkel trip on the bounty adventures.They offer a pick up service ,I was just trying to get an idea of the distance from the cruise pier.They charge an extra $9.00 pp.to do so .Would it be cheaper to just catch a taxi then ,instead of paying them to pick us up?

How far is it from the cruise port area to the Pirates Nest Restaurant?Is it within walking distance?

We stayed in 2248 on the Dream ,great location ,very quiet .

As soon as you board the ship ,go to the excursions desk ,They limit it to 16 ppl ,so you have to get signed up directly.

Ron Jon's 1000 Shorewood Dr, Cape Canaveral, FL 32920

(321) 328-2550 has a family style resort ,close to the port ,their own water park and everything catered to the family.

No cigar bar ,but you an smoke on the smoking side of the casino and on all balconies.

Nope ,if you want to gamble you will have to go over to Atlantis.
