On the excursion I got the price match I am glad I did the ships excursion . If I had of taken a private excursion that day I most likely would have been looking for alternative transportation options to get home . It was a tender port , ship excursions get priority getting off the ship , we were the first excursion offered that day and made it back to the pier 15 mins before the last tender . My wife didnt want to go on this excursion and said it was the best one she ever did when she came back. Some places a private excursion works for some people , sometimes it wont . .

I agree , Some people don' want to be wasteful ordering a full entree and send most of it back but may want to try multiple apps instead . The original poster having concern is warranted , they paid for their experience already and should get the experience they paid for . As it is many people booked cruises and some changes have been made that diminish some of the experiences hopefully this ordering experience does not add to the list .

I know the shorter cruises dont include lobster but his post said that he was going to preview what a 7 day menu would look like . The Dream does an 8 day sailing so when they released that , it also had 2 cruise elegant night "feast menus" the first one was completely different from the 2nd one which has the lobster on it . The first one had escargot , chicken alfredo , duet of filet mignon and short rib , 2 different Emerils items I think a tuna appetizer and a bbq salmon entree , different desserts including grand marnier souflee , and chocolate panacotta . Although I do like some of the offereings on the menus he posted on FB for the elegant nights I prefer to have variety on my main dining experiences. With the old menus the formal night dinner just was the version of the elehant night without the lobster not the lobster being switched out menu . I could see them using that menu on a shorter sailing like on the Conquest which I think only has 4 and 3 day cruises now but when theres 2 formal nights it would be nice to have different offerings .

So I was folowing John Heald 's posts on FB and he leaked a menu night each day . I think there might have been something wrong with those posts because both elegant night menus were identical except for one entree . The first had rhe Shrimp and Fishcake as an entree and the 2nd had lobster . All the other items including deserts were the same on both that he posted .

I might go there after dinner and get something to eat if I go to listen to some music but I doubt it will be my first choice of the evening ,

twice as much is not always true and you need to look at different factors,. Do your research see if there is any differences in the trips . One time I was able to get a partial price match I only tried once so its not like it only worked the one time kind of thing . The difference in the tours was the Carnival excursion included lunch so they credited me 65 dollars instead of 80 for 3 people total . We were on a long excursion that had 3 different departure times and we were on first trip we got back to the port 15 minutes before the last tender . I imagine the other 2 groups were glad they booked with the cruiseline .

I think they are refering to Java Blue on the new ships . Mardi Gras and Celebration have a different set up for Java Blue . There are some things that are offered on other ships that you would pay for just as you would for those items on other ships but they also have additional items , sandwiches , epanadas and a few other items that they make as well as a grab and go section that has fruit and other healthy options .

We went on a snorkling tour in Grand Turk through the cruiseline . Oue excursion got back late , The ship waited for us . We dropped our stuff back at the room went up to get a burger from Guys and before we ordered the ship was pulling away . If you do do an excursion with a different vendor make sure they have plenty of time from when the excursion ends and that you need to be back.

They do different sales incentives . Right now they have save 15 percent on internet packages when you purchase that at the same time as your excursion .

So I see a lot of posts and videos on old San Juan walking tours . How long do you think a typical visit to each of the 2 main forts. I'm thinking of taking a taxi to a beach and was wondering how much time we should budget if we wanted to explore San Cristobal and El Moro. Would a half hour at each fort be a realistic amount of time to spend at each location ,

I think the strategy is based on the main dining rooms not being large enough to accomodate all the passengers . The people who in the past have opted for set dining times were guaranteed their seats in a set location with the same waitstaff. by having this policy it encourages traditional diners to keep with their traditions .

I believe the juice they may be refering to is juice at the mdr during dinner,

Yes as long as its cans . You can even mix it up . You can take up to 12 different soda cans per person . They wont let you take bottles anymore though.

Did Carnival do away with the ports of call section . I think that was Carnivals answer to give a theme . I kind of liked that strategy because you could order the special apetizer , entree or drink .

Are you playing till the $20 dollars runs through or are you playing till theres no money left after losing some winning some losing some ?
