We have early dining which I believe starts at 6pm. Is there a timerange you can show up to eat for early dining? Reason I ask is one of the ports doesn't leave until 6:30pm and didn't want to necessarily rush to be back on board early to be ready for dinner at 6pm.

I can’t seem to find the answer anywhere. I know there is a waiting period of 5 minutes between alcoholic drinks but if I wanted 2 waters would the bartender do this or if I had a alcoholic beverage and wanted a water with the order would they do it? Just thinking if going off the ship would want to grab a couple of waters and not have to wait to get another water.

We've never had an OBC before so not sure who pre purchases work. We have a $200 OBC and if we pre-purchased the cheers package as an example would we be given the option to use this towards the package? Also I guess a related question when you pre-purchase things do you pay for it at the time or does it get applied to your account when on board.

It’s been awhile since we cruised and I can’t remember if there is auto tipping when you aren’t on the cheers package. I know 18% is added when you purchase cheers and then you can tip extra if you so choose but if you aren’t on cheers is the same 18% added when you get a drink or do you select a specific tip?

Probably a novice question but how is boarding time determined and when do you find out?

Just looking for feedback on Carnivals cruise companion feature. We will be cruising (2 of us) with another group (5) and read somewhere that the max was 6 in a cruise companion group? The main thing we were looking to do was use it to be seated together at dinner but not sure if that's what it is intended for.

This might be moved but wasn't sure of the proper location. Specifically looking at Canadians but wondering what items people use for motion sickness. We've used Bonine for all past cruises and normally pick it up before the cruise in the states as you can't get it in Canada and have had good success. We fly in late the night before the cruise and am not sure if we will have anywhere to get them in Miami. Not sure if Miami International sells it or if the shops would be open around 10:30pm. Any suggestions would be great.

Yep its crazy!

Exactly which is my issue lol Not sure if prices will drop but I highly doubt it so was looking for options which are still relatively close uber to the port but not ridiculously priced - still want running water etc lol.

Have never done a Southern Cruise but we are looking to book one for Nov 2023. Have been to Princess Cays and Grand Turk but no where else on either cruise. Can people give positives and negatives for ports as I’m a newbie for all of them. Any help your be appreciated. Both are 8 day cruises.

Need help with a couple of questions and if anyone has any pictures that would be great. How is an inside cabin that sleeps 3 set up. Can the beds still be pushed together to make a king bed and then does it have a bunk? Does the couch in a oceanview that sleeps 3 pull out in anyway? Again if anyone has any pictures it would be greatly appreciated.
