Cruisit

Good idea!!

Assuming there is one on your ship, try the steakhouse bar.

Obviously if there is something worth sampling, he would like to do so. But he has his brands, JWR or JW Black don't cut it for him. He prefers Glenlivet, Glenfiddich, Oben, Macallan- and preferably aged 20+ years. But assuming they obviously won't have exactly what he drinks at home, I'm looking for something comparable

I'll search for odd shaped cabins for more space, good idea!

Our first cruise together will be a short one so he can see if he likes it. Unfortunately not cruising is not an option, he better like it 😂 But that's also why I want to try and get him a cabin he will be ok with, while also not spending a fortune, haha.

My boyfriend is a huge whisky drinker. Fancy scotch and all that. So, you can get shots valued up to $50, but is there actually any good, expensive scotch to get? If so, what bars did you find this at?

I'm going on a cruise with my boyfriend who is a first time cruiser. I've been many times and stayed in many cabin types and personally like inside cabins. HOWEVER, my boyfriend is very claustrophobic. I can't relate.

So, to others who are also claustrophobic, what cabin do you usually go with? An inside is probably out. But is a window enough? Or do you need a balcony?

Because it is better. Nicer food experience, staff, everything ESPECIALLY compared to the price.

How do you get to chose which you reserve?

Hey y'all! I specifically have a question about the port area! What bars are there? Any chain ones? Remember the pricing on food and drinks?

Trying to get a guesstimate on pricing of things in the port.

NCL is a shady company. They try to pull things over on their customers all the time.

I am doing an excursion through Carnival, so thanks for the info on the buses!

Also just bring as many things as you can, such as cards or ids for businesses, etc. , with you. Can't hurt to attempt to unofficially provide proof 20 different ways! But this is by no means a solution... this is just me and my opinion :D

Soon I sort of answered my own question by using satellite images on google maps. If anyone else ever wants to know this info here it is!

There are some bars, two I found: Bull Frogs and Mr. Sol. Mr. Sol seems to be a bar set amongst the shops. Bull Frogs seems to right off the gates to the ships. There is a pool, tiki bar feel, and also a 'wading' type pool! Oh, and 3 coronas for $5!

My question isn't on the port itself but the actual pier. When you get off the ship, what do you see? I've heard there are some shops. My question (and the most important one) is there a BAR???

Also, if you are doing an excursion through the cruise line (I'm talking Carnival) do they pick you up near where the ship docks or the end of the miles long pier?

ANY info and any details would be greatly appreciated as I'm trying to get a picture of this place to know what to expect!

I've been above and below places like the main theater. Don't book it. Seriously, I hate their vacation was ruined by this (because trust me I understand) but also don't book those cabins if you're even a heavy sleeper, or like to take naps, because to will hear everything.

Weird question, but if you have bottomless bubbles (or don't) and you order cranberry juice, is it from a can/bottle or is it from like soda gun?

Paradise beach has such nice facilities! Everything is so clean and well kept. Plus they have great water toys and it's rather inexpensive!

I'm 20 years old and 22 cruises down. I have sailed extensively on RCCL, Disney and Carnival. So take it from a kid who grew up at sea! Carnival has the best children program (all ages) hands down. My earliest memory ever was on Carnival as well as some of my best. The staff Carnival employees for their kids programs are phenomenal!

For me it's the product, like you said. Carnival is a line where we can go with the flow, do what we like when we like, with NO PLANNING. So many lines are turning to planning meals or show times, and that isn't what a cruise is to me.

I'm young (20) so I'm not looking at celebrity or holland as options, but I have been in Disney and RCCL. I've yet to try Norwegian, and will one day.

There is no beach? Correct? I know its in downtown, and from pictures there looks like no beach, but I just wanted to double check.

Paradise beach

If you book a shore excursion through Carnival pre-cruise, can you cancel it? Is there a time limit? Fees?

Thanks!

Okay thank you!

They can do everything but Serenity, drink and the 'kids' clubs. This is coming from a 20 year old. But there's the Casino! But... if she hangs around an area where the up to 17( O2 ) club is going to be she can just sort of make friends and fit in. Chances are if there are less children on the cruise the kids will group up and not be at the club. I've found the more kids onboard the more the club is actually utilized as a place to 'hang out'.

Random question: Does the Warm Chocolate Melting Cake contain gluten? My best friend is allergic to gluten and I've been talking up the WCMC so I hope it doesn't!
