This wasnt a "wow" to me at all..we are platinum and not he way to diamond but have only been to the steakhouse once and that was because we got a free one. Probably wont be back..not. because it wasn't good, just not a huge steak person ( and cheap ) Oh and for the OP , maybe speak to the special needs dept first and I will bet they can accommodate you

This is not true in our experience. One you get the "vouchers' you can turn them in for a bottle of wine at any bar to take back to your cabin.

Obviously the markup on any wine/alcohol is crazy...these are probably 8 dollar bottles of wine retail ..but it does save you money compared to buying buy the glass or by the bottle if you plan to drink enough wine anyway

We have gotten this many times and were always able to order a bottle at any bar to take back to room.

we bought ours onboard ..went up to a bar and they gave us the 5 vouchers to use. I cant remember the exact price but it definitely was one "service" charge

Now I have that song in my head

We will be on the same cruise. Looks like thats the Mazatlan day. My bet would be just a special dessert and a flower. And my husband will be off the hook on getting me anything!

My husband got a beach massage on Stone Island. Fair warning...I have pics of this and lets say she pulled down his swim trunks pretty far lol. He did enjoy it but if I was going to be that exposed I wouldn't want it on a wide open beach

The on the ship plan is just for calls and texts I think. The 10 dollar a day international plan on land includes cellular data to get online.

Some people may not agree but for me the internet..unlimited as opposed to how it used to be per minute and verrryyy slow.

I remember the times where they charged by the minute...and it was super slow so you ended up paying for the pages to load. For me its much more cost effective now

That Ultra Tumbler looks huge !

Yes I am curious too..how many people were at the Ultra party? ( Hopefully not as packed as the Sailaway party!)

We are doing our first Ultra in September so looking forward to your thoughts..looking forward to this review

I agree! We were actually on a cruise a while back (Panorama) where in the middle of the night loud banging on our door with crew members yelling to put on life jackets. We had a hard enough time scrambling around finding the life jackets and putting them on in a half asleep stupor ..theres on way Id remember where my muster station was. It turned out to be a small fire down below us that was resolved quickly , although we weren't really told that until we were in the hallway trying to figure out what to do..

Thanks for the pictures and reviews! Looks like there was a good variety , even with some "misses". I am hoping my two vegan sons will cruise with us so this will help

We are cheap and like an adventure so take the city bus..pretty easy

I think this is great! Maybe I can convince my vegan son to cruise with us now 🙂

Stayed on deck 1 on Panorama 3 times with these cabins. Love them!

I am a total lurker and just want to say first of all I am enjoying this review so much but also really liking the respectful exchange between Carnival/Cunard folk

You will be fine...we usually drive down from the Bay Area that day ..

Yep thats how it was for us the last few times, even though we prefer evening, No biggie really for us, we just put the snoozing sign up when we are in cabin and if we aren't there they can come at whatever time is easiest for them

All of this aside, some of my husbands offers are for just him and some are for him and a companion. If I had the same offer, we can link them so I get it as well. Id I don't , I do not technically get DOU but I can say that on our last cruise it didn't really matter because the server would bring one for me as well and put it on my husbands account. Don't come at me for "cheating " or whatever...the server offered and we took him up on it ( and tipped well) . Of course this wont work unless both of you are gambling at the same time

😞 I am not too happy about this. The 8 day is good ( have one booked) but sometimes I only want a 7 day..I don't like the 6 day itinerary since Cabo isn't my favorite and I like Mazatlan.

Have done this itinerary in Jan and Feb a few times. The first and last sea days will likely be overcast and chilly. Your days in port will be nice! ( I hate too hot...it should be warm but not humid) Give it a try!
