This is an amazing review - Thank you for sharing! I have clients that want to book this same cruise and your review will be so helpful for them.

Okay, finally got the Dailies posted. Sorry I had to break them up into separate posts, but I was having a really hard time getting them to load in order otherwise.

Thank you so much!

I didn't, but they are probably quite outdated by now. I will try to be sure to post the Dailies for my current 10-day sailing on the Meraviglia in my current liveblog.

Thanks! Another live - how exciting!

I have been saving all the dailies and intend to take and post pictures of all of them when I get home.

I just finished reading all 18 pages and it was very helpful! Thank you! Did you ever post the dailies?

Thanks for all the great info! Looking forward to our February 2024 cruise on her!

We are on this cruise too! Can’t wait!

If you've seen Jurassic Park 3, that is literally one of the views you get from a helicopter. It doesn't seem real. The video below (with a song from Brother Iz) show Napali both from the air and sea. Each is equally impressive.

 

 

Oh wow! Thank you!

I'd say no. It to me is like the difference between seeing the Statue of Liberty from Manhattan and standing on Liberty Island and looking up at the statue.

 

A helicopter ride over the Napali Coast gives you one perspective and a catamaran sailing excursion gives you another.

 

Depending on which ship you are on and how long your Kauai port stop is will dictate what you can do. We use Captain Andy for Napali tours, but we've never tried it as an cruise excursion. We've spent so much time in Hawaii and Kauai, we never do excursions off the ship.

 
if this is a once in a lifetime trip, would you splurge for the helicopter or go with the catamaran?

I’m assuming they will wait until the last day. I’m ready to find out about our 12/12 Sunrise cruise!

Carnival and NCL dock in Maui at the same place (Kahalui)...so the OP's comments about booking at the wrong location (Lahaina) are very relevant to you. You want the Kahalui locations.

 

Otherwise the ports are the same.

Thank you! Made all my reservations for April!

This is great info - thank you! You didn’t mention what cruise line you were on, but we are cruising Carnival - will the locations be the same?

We are doing this cruise next April - I really hope the review gets finished. I keep checking back for more!

We booked for 2020 and I’m so excited! We have a year to wait but so much research and planning to do. We got an aft wrap suite on deck four.

Let us know if you are still having a problem.

 

Thank you for this statement! I have been going crazy trying to find the search bar on my iPad. I turned it and there it was! Yay!

We are considering this cruise for 2020 - this is a great thread!

what did you decide to do?

 

The AI day pass is 89.00 pp the day pass with no food or drinks is 20.00

 

can i take bottle water in with me?

 

all we need is a chair/shade and the beach

I don’t cruise until November - still checking out all the options :)

I currently have 3 of this suit in rotation (same style just different colors). Love it, and I've probably owned 7-8 of them over the past few summers.

 

 

 

I've always heard good things about MiracleSuit... just a bit pricey for me.[ATTACH]423626[/ATTACH]

Some colors of this suit are on clearance for $6! I just ordered two sizes in pink, so I can try them on and return one. Thanks for the recommendation!

Love this review! Too bad it wasn’t finished. Thinking about the Splendor and lots of good info here!

I love my extensions! I love being able to wake up and all I need is lipstick to look fine. Can’t wait to try them on a cruise. You won’t even know you have them on, they are so light. Just please research the person you go to. Thee are a lot of people doing the extensions that don’t know what they are doing. If you find a reputable person, you will love your lashes, and be hooked!

I would suggest going to TJ Maxx or a similar store and see what you can find. They will have good name brand cubes and I got a set of 3 for less than $10. Then you can try out the different sizes and see what works for you before you order more expensive ones online. Or maybe you won’t even need to. I really like the ebags slim because they are small but hold a lot. But the set I got at TJ Maxx is just as good, just different sizes. I also

Watched a great video on how to pack them. I’ll post a link below.

I mostly buy knits like cotton Lycra or brushed poly and I have ordered from all these stores. I also find a lot on Etsy by searching for the type of fabric I want. I hope you find what you’re looking for. There are some great deals online, and many things available that I can’t get locally.

This question is about fabric. I love to sew for my up coming cruise. The trouble is finding the right fabric. We have only Joann's. Which does have some nice fabric. But the store is lacking some of the prints that I would like to have. Trying to find a good on line store seems to be OK with goggle. But I really don't know the vendors.

Here is my main problem I really don't know know fabric types. I can read about fabric types, but not the same a touching the fabric. I can feel the fabric in a store, see the weight, sheerness of it to.

How do all of you buy on line fabric?

I’ve purchased a lot of fabric online in the last few years. Some stores will send you sample swatches, which helps a lot. Otherwise, I will go to Joann’s and look at fabric content and weight to find similar fabrics and see how they feel. It’s still not foolproof, but it helps, and after a few purchases you’ll start to learn what you like. If you’re looking for knit fabrics, I can recommend a few really good sources if you’re interested.

Oh no! We were planning to go in November, so I’m glad you posted. I will email them when it gets closer to check. What’s a good alternative? We’ve never been to Nassau.

We got this one at Target. I like that it’s ring bound so you can move pages around. It comes with a lot of pages and you could leave the cover at home if you wanted to save weight.

We got passes through Resort for a Day, and they were $89 per adult ($33 deposit, remainder due when you get there).

Did you get all-inclusive passes? How was the food? Did you think it was worth it versus just a day pass without food/drinks?
