Cabin stewards have cork screws, you can bring your Houdini if you want to...

I can not find a definitive answer on Carnivals policy about bring wine for second leg of b2b on Carnivals website. Is there one?

They have pool/beach towels. Don't take your bath towels!

Why? I like to take the white bath towels because they are smaller and take up less space and lighter. I don't need a large beach towel for the beach.

Ports & price. Ships with Cloud 9 Spas, except the Sunshine which does not have a thalasso pool...

It is a nice small ship that has some age. The food and service is no better or worse than other Carnival ships that I have sailed. I really like the PT cabins...

So this is a clear sign that they think that the Seafood Shack on the Vista is a hit.

Good, maybe the Buffets will be less crowded, should do this on the Sunshine...

What will they charge a fee for next? Guy's Burgers?

Pizza will be next is my guess...

.

 

I did find that it was not really policed.

 

Not policed at all, I have spent may hours in the Cloud 9 Spas and never seen any one policing, they are more concerned about selling treatments. There were times when the wife or I forgot the white wrist bands and it was never questioned. The bacon police do a better job.

All I have to say is salmon and a bagel with a bloody mary.

and cream cheese & onions...

Having a thallasso pool is the best part of the Cloud 9 Spas by far, the Splendor and the Dream class have thallasso pools...

Once you choose a ship and know the ports you will visit, go to 'Ports of Call' here on the Cruise Critics board and research the ports. Very good info...

May not "heat up" as much as a larger coffee maker, but these things do require a surge in power consumption like any blender/grinder/mixer. Plus, in terms of airline luggage weights these things are worth a week's worth of clothes (or in terms of space in luggage--3 extra pair of heels:D).

 

Want fruits and veggies? Chew them.;)

Thanks for your answer. I drive to all ports and would carry the blender in my carry on along with the allowed wine bottle...

No you cannot bring a blender. Kitchen appliances are on the prohibited list.

Thank you BeachChic ...

I see this is an answer to keep the pot stirred. Pretty crazy to bring one, go collect fruits and vegetables, go back to your cabin to make one. Save the effort, make your next smoothie at home with ingredients from your local store.

You are the pot stirrer. You asked me this question. "With all the foods available, why would one want to? " I answered it, you decided to stir the pot with a foolish assumption...

Wouldn't it be confiscated as an electrical device like coffee makers?

 

With all the foods available, why would one want to?

Why you ask. To take advantage of Carnivals excellent assortment of fruits and veggies in the buffet. A Ninja does not heat up like a coffee maker would.

Maybe you should just not be so greedy and keep taking the gifts and selling them, don't take them at all or take them and give them to someone on the ship that is not as special as you are.

Why would you care what cruisers do with their gifts...

Can I bring a Nutri Ninja or Nutribullet blender on board to make smoothies in my cabin?

There is no such thing as staggered boarding.

There is staggered boarding in Cozumel...

Splendor, newer ship and has a fully equipped Cloud 9 Spa...

yes, free from my TA...

I always book ES rate except when military rate is available and get free quality travel ins. from my TA...

To have a 10 hr port day in St Thomas so I can spend more time in St john...

does anyone know the full and partial transits fees are per person, I have heard that a full transit fee could be as high as $300...

This is crazy. You would honestly leave a cruise line over a case of water? Sorry to say but many of the other cruise lines already have this policy in place. I think you are going to be disappointed where ever you go.

It is not just the water, it is a compilation of nickle and dimes. I would be disappointed if I sail NCL again. I will stick with Carnival for most of my cruises and will not be disappointed. Carnival's nickle and dimes are not as heavy as NCL's...

Ban away NCL, just remember we cruisers have the ultimate ban...Bye
