To clarify, not sure of the exact name. But asking about the "formal" night dinners. I thought it was called Captains Dinner?

The night most or some dress up, all the photographers are out with the back grounds for pictures....

Thanks for all your replies

Hello,

Trying to figure out when the Captain's dinner would take place?

8 day cruise, 3 sea days. 

1 sea day is 4 day of the cruise

2 seas day the last 2 days of the cruise.

I'm thinking it would be that 1st sea day?

Does any one know or have the last week's Magic Fun times.

Cruise date is 5/25

Thanks

Kicking and screaming like a 2 year old " I don't want to"  We had the day before flights and instead of keeping that, I allowed my friend to convince me to arrive day of.   She wanted to avoid taking an extra day off work and paying for overnight hotel stay.

Now we may be paying $220 each AND paying for an Hotel room AND taking that extra day off work!!!!

Sweating bullets already.  I let my traveling buddy convince me to change our day before flight to day of 6:05am- arrive 9:50am.  Well now with all the issues with the MAX 8 that we are listed on for our May 25 cruise....I'm pretty concerned about what if's.....

This change from day before to day of was made back in January....NOW when I called to change back of course the price is $220 total for 2.  Southwest airline.

Now it's totally up in the air (pun intended) on if we will pay the money and switch back or wait and see if they move us IF the issues are not resolved with the MAX8 planes.

AND of course my traveling buddy is saying she does not want to fly on the MAX 8's even if FAA declared them safe.

Maybe she is ready for a road trip.....

Any one else out there making proactive changes now?

Great ideas

Thanks

His freshman college year ends middle of May and so does his close friend who will also be on the cruise with us.

So I'm kinda hoping there will be others whose  College summer break has started.  The HS he use to attend would also be done by that date....but HS graduations will be taking place...so probably not many HS students.

Is this something Carnival would tell us, if we ask?

My son wants to know how many passengers will be between ages 18-22. With this being a May cruise and not middle of summer, he is worried it will not be many in his age group to meet and or hang out with?

Is there a way we could find out?

Thanks

Thank you

So if you have carnival stock you receive OBC?  How/where do I find out more details?

Thanks

Ok, thanks just wanted to confirmation. I actually got 2 different answers when I called carnival rep.  

So I wanted to come here to ask ...

Are you in our roll call for that sailing? Not the one on CruiseCritic but, "other places"? 

 No I'm not in the roll call. Not sure what this "other places is"

Good morning.

I have paid the majority of my cruise with gift cards and planning to pay balance with gift card.  If I have to cancel before the final payment date, do they refund the money in carnival gift cards? I plan to purchase cancel for any reason insurance before final payment (Alliance travel ins), if I then have to cancel after final payment the travel insurance would cover % of my cruise refund and I don't think that would be in carnival gift cards...but I will check that.

I have NO plans on needing to cancel...but life happens so I want to know what if my refund would be in gift cards from carnival if cancel before final payment....if needed, since this is the 1st time I'm using gift cards to cover my entire cruise...including cheers package.

Hope my question is clear enough.

Thanks

Thank you for the information.

Does anyone know the cost? It will be 4 of us wanting to take this tour.

Hello all

I've checked for the behind the scene tour for my upcoming Magic cruise May 25.  I do not see it listed in the excursions?  Is this still offered? Is there a certain time I need to check for this tour?

Thanks

Nope I do not want to be worried at all!!!!

Great feedback

I know I would rather take a later flight and or even the next day and relax at a hotel with a great pool before heading back home!

how early do you think we can schedule a flight from port Ft Lauderdal flight leaving ft lauderdal airport?

I know the port is very close to airport!

I believe the time listed on Carnival advises to not have a flight before 1pm.

My travel crew is thinking about a 10:15 am flight out on a Sunday June 3 2019

Thanks

Thanks

This is exactly the information I needed

I will be staying in deck1

This is where I usually stay but friend wanted to move up decks on next cruise...

No thanks my son and I could end up very miserable

This upcoming cruise is our do over got sick on last cruise cold or flu I don’t know just sick

So not taking any chances on next cruise

Do you think you would feel more ship motion on Deck 1 or Deck 7?

Thanks for all the replies

No telling when I will get a cruise do over!!! But I love cruising so hopefully by 2020 I will have another planned and will make sure to take extra vitamins and get rest before traveling

just back from Vista !

Nice ship, clean ship, good food.

I did not do any ship activities I was sick from 2nd day on! Weather was blah and pouring rain on last port stop Cozumel!!!

I turned in early each night, on day sleep most of the day!

But the Mom ‘s and son’s (HS graduate s) I was with seem to have a good time!

My son got sick on last day and now we are both home still sick me getting better my son just starting !

Oh and the plane delays due to weather and then plane mechanical issues we arrive hours late in Miami, so glad we went Day early!

Did not take many pictures either

But we all are safe and we did get in a lot of laughs and I got tons of rest!!

Just not a typical cruise vacation and I wish I could just do over!

Oh the best thing was visiting Bob Marley resting place long ride up the mountain but very much worth it!!

Thanks for reading my vent

Well since it was mentioned

I’m a little worried about the “goods” in wet bball shorts!

But he is almost 18 so his choice to wear or not wear swim trunks.

Kids*♀️

He does not the mesh lining or the outside nylon like material of the swim trunks

He has had in the past the board shorts but those have the same material that he does not like

Not going to overthink or worry

His choice to make
