The only thing my husband wants to know, what about the Dr. Pepper?!!

Dr. Pepper is a Coke product.

We just got off this sailing. I'm done with Carnival. And I'll NEVER cruise from any port north of Florida again. It's not an extended vacation, people. And I'm not so in love with Carnival that I'll tow the company line and say it was anything but a cluster all the way around. Believe me, if I could in some way make sure you people making light of what went on on that ship the last three days would have to experience the "extra sea days," I would. You all deserve that for some of these ridiculous comments. Admins--proceed to delete the truth, as I'm sure you will.

Here's a news flash for you.  There are storms and hurricanes that regularly affect ships that sail from Florida, too.

Your cruise line should have a link that recommends an earliest return flight time.  You have no control over what time the ship will dock, or what time you will be able to disembark.

Do you know if there is an update on this?  The tag set is not listed on the Diamond "what you get list".

And don't forget that you now need a passport to get off the ship in Martinique.

they bring em right to your cabin..........if you're platinum. 🙄

 You can have mine.

When you get to the port it will be evident where your ship is and they won't let you in the terminal unless you have a boarding pass for that ship.

It's a ship, not a boat.

The "kitchen" is actually called the galley and it is on deck 3, the same deck as the dining room.  The Lido deck galley is on deck 10.  The space is probably cabin steward storage, a crew only stairwell or a laundromat and it shouldn't have any effect on your cabin.

I always carry my passport separately from my driver's license.  If you lose one, you still have a backup.  Even though I have the passport and renewed my driver's license earlier this year, I bit the bullet and waited 3 hours at the DMV for the real ID because I shudder at the thought of how much time it will take the month before the deadline.  In our state they hold the document in one hand and keypunch with the other hand, which takes forever, and then they scan the documents.  But it was worth it to have a backup.

The hole is the new platinum/diamond gift.

When are you sailing?  It might just be too early to make a reservation.

Or you could just board separately and meet them on the ship.

If you don't see the information in the terms and conditions on the website I recommend that you call Carnival.

Never sailed out of New York before.  Booked Norwegian Encore to Bermuda in August.  Sorry if I'm missing it, but what pier in New York does she sail from ?  Haven't seen it anywhere.  Regards, Gerry.

You can also usually find the pier location on your cruise documents and the cruise line should have a link on their website for all of the port locations from which they sail.

And they're now actually Sail and Sign, not Sign and Sail.

The airport is 10 miles from the Maryland Cruise Terminal.  Super Shuttle is another option.

If you click on the link for deck plans on Carnival's site you will see that it is located on Lido deck 10 starboard side aft.

When Halloween falls on a day when you are on the ship, you will see a lot of people in costumes in the evening.  You might also hear some loud and out of control guests in the hallways when you're trying to sleep.

If they allowed it, and word got out, all 3,000 or 4,000 passengers would also want custom prepared meals.

Assuming the passenger capacity is the same or greater than Mardi Gras, which is almost 5,300, this is why Carnival has staggered arrival appointments and doesn't want everyone to show up at 11:00.

We used Modern Limousine round trip between the airport and the port.  For 2 of us it was less expensive than a taxi or Carnival shuttle.

Wondering if anyone knows if the Magic has tables for two in the upper southern lights dining room along the rail looking down to the lower level.  Thanks..

 Most of the ships have tables for 2 on the upper level next to the rail.  You can request one but are not guaranteed to get it.

What's wrong with eBay they will achieve your mission. I looked there are plenty of Carnival mugs with free shipping.

Nothing.  I just want to know if they're being sold on the ships.  If so, I prefer to buy one new when I'm on the ship.
