We will be on the Magic in a few weeks and are going to Amber Cove, Dominican Republic. There are two docks there. There is one by a small Fort and the other is in a small bay. 

The other cruise ship dock is 20 minutes away from Amber Cove, located in Puerto Plata. The fort is called Fortaleza de San Felipe & is located in Puerto Plata. 

Carnival Magic will be docking at Amber Cove.

Sailing on Liberty in March. The only stop is Bimini. New one for me. Is Bimini more like Nassau-ish or more like Grand Turk-ish. Meaning is it more private island-ish? If that makes sense. I will be cruising solo is why I ask.

Hi 🙂

More like Grand Turk. Definitely not like Nassau at all. Grand Turk has Jacks Shack; in Bimini they have Joe's Conch Shack. When in Bimini the recommended mode of transportation is renting a golf cart. Do some research & Google around; there's a lot of interesting Bimini information online.

We sail tomorrow and someone stole my wallet yesterday.

ALL of our boarding passes, birth certificates, my phone, etc. We're in the bottom of my son's stroller. At some point while we were all going to the bathroom before heading into the terminal, I'm assuming my back or my wife's back was turned and someone snagged all the stuff from the bottom of the stroller. 

Twice! You got robbed twice🤯🤯 Oh my goodness. So sorry to hear about this.

I like to book a massage on embarkation day. The appointment available for the service I want is Noon.

 

Embarkation day is not a very good or relaxing day to book a massage. There will be many passengers walking through & checking out the spa. Some spa employees will also be giving embarkation day spa tours.

Hi @barriechris🙂

I use prescription Meclizine. And over the counter Bonine. 

There's a CVS Pharmacy close to the cruise terminal.

Hey guys, I'm old school and I'm over here doing the single digit dance!!! LOL!!! That's right, 9 days and 22 hours until hubby and I sail the Mardi Gras (Lord willing) WOO HOO!!!

Hi 🙂

Not old school at all. Just remember, it wasn't that long ago Cruise Critic had Countdown Clocks available to add to our signatures that counted down the days & hours.

I personally enjoy your excitement & enthusiasm.

Enjoy your single digit dance! Have a wonderful sailing!

Hi @Honolulu Blue🙂

Thank you so very much for posting the new room service menu. I see no life altering drastic changes to dissect ad nauseum that would cause me to discontinue ordering room service or switch cruise lines. 

Again, thank you for posting!🙂

To me $5 for a PB&J is an insult.

 

(Between 6am - 10am) you can COMPLIMENTARY Create, Build, Construct, Spread your very own peanut butter & jelly sandwich. All ingredients complimentary through room service.

Various toast/bagel options along with three different complimentary jellys as well. Grape jelly, Strawberry jelly or Orange marmalade. Complimentary Peanut Butter Too!!

Simply order as many servings as you wish & you can be in COMPLIMENTARY PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY HEAVEN.

Does the Elation have the Deli?

I don't see either pizza or deli on the deck plans and wondered if they don't have those options.

The change Carnival is making is relatively minor. Some don't seem to get that.

 

Exactly! Certainly will be minor changes, nothing drastic at all.

Charges for items already exist. I think many don't get that as well, or they forgot that we're already paying.

if they spend 200 million on this ship to fix in 2019 someone got rodded. 

 

WOW, Sunrise just recently had another dry dock a few months ago. April 23, 2022 to May 25, 2022. It certainly sounds as if the ball may have been dropped concerning routine hotel maintenance & cosmetic enhancements. 

Thank you for your update. Very disheartening...

This box is not from the Horizon.  They don't have a Mongolian wok or pasta bar on deck 11, just like the Lido is not on 10. Lido is 16 and Jiji's and Cucina is on 17.

I assure you, these Embarkation Day Lunch options are 101% from Carnival Horizon.

I think Royal is now charging $7.50 for room service.

On 9/20/2022 at 6:01 PM, RoperDK said:

Royal still has free continental breakfast.  All other room service has a $7.95 fee plus 18% gratuity. They have a complete selection of hot breakfast items (eggs, bacon, sausage), for lunch and dinner there are salads, burgers, sandwiches, pasta, salmon, and desserts.  

Hi @ALWAYS CRUZIN & @RoperDK🙂

Yes, the room service selections on Royal Caribbean are certainly well worth the $7.95 fee plus 18% gratuity.

Hi @GaryWT🙂

Just something to keep in mind & be prepared for. 

If warranted by weather, wind, rough seas, etc...Crew will close the Storm Door on a cove balcony & the balcony will be unusable & inaccessible for a period of time. 

This does not happen frequently, but this definitely does occur. Even though some members will say this has never happened to them, it does not mean it doesn't happen. 

The cove balcony storm doors are there for a reason & are certainly used when needed.

On Carnivals website in regards to Guy's Funderstruck Foods, its listed as a Limited Time Creation. Not permanent.
