We arrived at the terminal at 10:15. Porter met us at the cab and took our bags, by 10:30 we were thru check in and in the terminal shops and they let us in the ship before 11. 

Went straight to Chops to schedule our speciality dining and then to WJ. Rooms opened at 1

 

Thank you

I have a couple of questions, since I will be on the ship in Sept

*. What time are you allowed to board the ship?

*  I would like to mail a postcard to someone, saying I arrived.  What is the cost of postage?  Do they sell stamps on board?  The the ship have a maillot?

Thank you in advance

I will be on the Vision for the Sept 15, 2019 cruise of the Med and Greek Isles.  So I looking forward to following your review

I just had to add Alaska to by bucket list, I did cruise there once on Princess in 2009.  These pictures make me want to go back.  This Sept I will be on the Vision of the Sea cruising the Mediterranean & Greek Islands.  Since it takes me 5 years to save up for a cruise I have a lot of time to check things out.  Currently possibles are *Baltic Sea, *Holy Lands, *New England/Canada, *Transatlantic, and now *Alaska.

I really enjoy all the live reviews, I will be following you

Has any one used NCL solo cruiser discount, when purchasing a cruise? I normally get and inside cabin, but money is getting tight ?

Thank you for and comments you may provide me

Mary Louise

I have a question:  How much euros do you think we need on each port?  

• Barcelona (embarking/disembarking)
• Cannes (Monaco)
• Livorno (Cinca Tes)
• Rome
• Athen
• Mykonos
• Santorini
• Crete
• Short Layover at Heathrow Airport (London)

I plan on using my credit card most of the time.  But I don't think it will work if I want a gelato from a vender.  Can I get use my ATM card on board the vision to get cash when needed?

Thank you for any info you can provide

I didn't know so I did a quick Google and this is the answer.

 

The monument shown in the photo in the December 2014 issue is located in Panama City's Plaza de Francia (French Park), at the tip of Casco Viejo, the city's colonial neighborhood. At the top of the obelisk, built in commemoration of those who died during construction of the Panama Canal, is a rooster, France's national symbol. Smaller monuments, each topped by a bust of a prominent French explorer, surround the obelisk.

Thank you,

We then headed to Casco Antiguo or Colonial City. It was founded in 1673 as a replacement for the previous capital which was destroyed two years earlier during the English Pirate Captain Henry Morgan's attack.

 

 

Does anyone know why there is a rooster on top of a couple of the pilars

Thanks for following along. 

 

For cabin we have an inside again. It worked fine for us last time and was in the budget as all the balconies were priced too high for the amount of time we would have spent on it. Last time on canal transit day I was all over the ship anyway. 

 

I agreed with you  when I cruised thru the canal in 2014 on the Legend of the Sea I was going from end to end, and side to side taking pictures and seeing everything I could.

Thanks for taking me along to revisit the area.  I will also  be reading your review since I will be on the Vision in Sept 2019 for a Med/Greek Isle cruise to celebrate my 70th birthday

I will be taking this cruise on Vision in Sept 2019, to celebrate my 70th birthday.

Mary

I will be on the Vision of Sea in Sept 2019, with a POC in Piraeus (Athen) Greece.

I would like to take a shore excurision that includes the Acropolis. I have heard, there are a lot of stairs, and steep walking conditions.

I will be taking a cruise with a POC in Roseau, Domincaand my tour includes visiting Trafalgar Falls and Emerald Pool. It says Swimsuit under clothing, but what type of shoes should I be using.

Thanks in advance for any info you can provide

Mary

Thanks for the review, I'm booked on the Dec 10 cruise same itinerary

Mary

Thanks for mentioning the mystery dinner, this is what I hope to do as a treat to myself this cruise, Your review is getting my excited about my Dec 2017 cruise

Mary

That would help wouldn't it ? lol

 

Day 1: San Juan

 

 

Day 2: St. Croix

 

 

Day 3: St. Maarten

 

 

Day 4: Dominica

 

 

Day 5: Barbados

 

 

Day 6: Grenada

 

 

and Day 7: Sea Day

 

 

I will be taken the same Jewel of the Sea cruise departing Dec 10, 2017.

After 2 years of research and saving up for my cruise I finally decided on RCCL Jewel of the Sea cruise leaving San Juan, with POC in St Croix, Phillipsburg, Rouseau, Bridgetown, & St George.

Since I never been to any of these ports, I'm really excited. I already have my passport up to date, and I don't think any Visa are required.

Boy I'm I excited.

Mary Louise

I was wondering if any of your cruises went to Barbados. I don't know why I always wanted to see this island, but I know my next cruise will be including it.

Will be looking forward to your next review, as I travel with you on your prior reviews

Mary Louise

Thanks for the great review. I'm now going to read your previous reviews. Since I have never been on a Carnival ship it's like being there myself. Once again thanks for the great review. (I think I gained weight just looking at the plates of food and dishes at the buffets

Mary Louise

I have to remember to order a Chocolate Mocha Getaway. It sure looked good

Mary Louise

Thanks!! Prep work today, more posting tomorrow.

 

 

 

Thanks for coming along for the ride again! It was the first time for Patti in an interior cabin. Yes, I know I've spoiled her! :D She actually didn't mind it at all. We used the trick of leaving the television on at night with the bow view camera and the sound off. When it got light outside, it got lighter in our cabin.

Thanks for the tip about leaving the tv on.

Mary Louise

I'm enjoying your review. I might be on the Fascination in Nov/Dec 2017., with a POC in Barbados. Since I travel solo, it takes some time to save my pennies, but so far want Fascination is the most reasonable.

I've found out in my research is that Carnival Inside cabin are larger that some of the other. Can you please tell my the square footage of one? Thank you

Thank you

Mary Louise
