Shoot an email to access@carnival.com. Let them know you have a CPAP + they'll arrange for an extension cord in your cabin. Personally, I keep a 12ft extension in my CPAP case for traveling. It has multiple outlets on the end. The one Carnival gives me only has one. And everyone is correct, there's only 1 outlet in your cabin + it's on the opposite wall. Also, distilled water is avail for purchase onboard if you use the humidifier. Myself, never bother with it.

Enjoy Panorama, we're booked for the Jan 18th sailing.

Booked for Jan 18th.

Yes, at least one Lido beverage station will be available early morning for self-service. You may see one shut down for cleaning but keep walking in the Lido dining area and you'll come to one 😉 

Yup, always one available. If you see it shut down, go to the other side.

We always said, "We wish we had a coffee pot in the cabin." We would love that!!

Ain't gonna happen for obvious fire reasons!

Had the social media package in Sept and i dont think it had access to gmail. 

That's correct, no Gmail with social media package. Facebook messenger works, not familiar with Telegram, I'd doubt it.

Were taking a ten day Alaskan cruise out of SFO next June. My wife and my sister LOVE doing the 'pool thing' especially during the summer but once you're up near Seattle (even in the summer) it can be a little chilly for an outside pool. I've checked all the decks and can't really tell if there's anything bigger than a kiddie pool. We've sailed on the Miracle before for a E. Caribbean cruise but that was many years ago and didn't bother to check for a indoor pool. The ship may have an infinity pool but she has heard, and this may not be true, that nude swimming is allowed😮. She is NOT interested in that scene. If anybody knows about an indoor pool and can offer any info, it'd be appreciated.

Thank You,

If you think it's cool up around Seattle......wait till you get up around Glacier Bay. I packed 2 pairs of swimming trunks for our Legend cruise last July. I thought about wearing them......absolutely NEVER. Alaska is fabulous, but it doesn't inspire much nude bathing!

Welcome back, Legend!  This was her first sailing from Tampa for this season. I have 2 cruises booked with her for 2020. I can't wait! I love to watch the ships do the 180 turn in Tampa. So cool!

There's a 180 in Miami that's pretty cool. Only sailed outta Tampa once. Loved the trip down the channel + under the Sunshine Skyway bridge. Hated the terminal. Have they redone the terminal facilites since the early 2000's?

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

Switch to Xarelto or Eliquis and then you don't have to mess with INR testing and you can eat whatever you want.  Hubby much prefered the Xarelto to the Warfarin.

BINGO!

Since you've been to Coz, there's a 5 day outta Miami to Grand Cayman + Ocho Rios that's great. I did this years ago on the Destiny (now Sunshine). HIGHLY recommend Stingray City in GC.

With you on the west coast, 11 day outta SF would be perfect. We did Legend to Alaska last July. Absolutely incredible, however, it's downright cool up there. Our favorite excursion was seaplane over 5 glaciers outta Junea, White Pass RR in Skagway next. Favorite port, Ketchikan hands down but Glacier Bay also amazing.

We're booked on Panorama for Jan, so we'll be doin the itinerary you just did shortly. We've sailed outta Long Bch before, so when you're done with Alaska, yah really gotta fly to the east coast and try the Caribbean. IMO, much nicer than the Pacific.

It's an "application" designed to run on your cell phone. It's available for either android or apple operating systems. It's a very handy reference when you're onboard. Your can review the days scheduled events, check your sail n sign acct, make dinner reservations, even has a map of the ship. If you've got a cell phone, I'd highly recommend using the app.

If you want NATURAL and you're visiting Grand Cayman, Stingray City is an absolute must!!!

If you haven't before, I recommend as a "must try":

-Happy hour on port days at Red Frog

-Fish Bowl at Red Frog

-Brunch in the MDR on Sea Days (so good! Especially mac and cheese and eggs benedict)

-Havana area if you are willing to pay the extra

-secret deck spots (sometimes on decks 5-7) – I found one on my florida cruise but not on the Vista

-if you don't see an appetizer you like, ask for a cheese plate off the desert menu as an appetizer

-try more than one item off the menu per course

JMO, but JiJi's on sea days is Mongolian Wok. Very good and very popular, BUT, it ain't JiJi's. Make the reservation, spend the $15 ea, try the pork belly, and thank me later. JiJi's is a real treat!

Love the Miracle! Spent 15 days on her from Long Bch to Hawaii + back. Spirit class ships are the best IMO.

The staff also failed to mention only the first cabin key used on the safe will work during the cruise.  There is no notes/documentation of this.

I think you're still mistaken about the safe operation. Whatever card you use to lock it, is the only card that will unlock it. As it should be. Once open, you can use another card to lock it + it then becomes the only card which will unlock it. Most newer ships have gone to a 4 digit code. Whatever code you use to lock it, is the only code that will unlock it. Once unlocked, any other 4 digit code can be used to repeat the process.

It will actually take the place of the current Freeport stop.

About time!

Was a lanyard last month! 😞

Thanks so much. So much good info. Will the lines be labeled when we enter for boarding . In the past my hubs wore Dockers for non dress up nights and a jacket with no tie on Dress up nights. Is this still OK? 

The lines are labeled + there's usually someone checking your boarding pass and directing you to the correct line. Just wanted to mention it, so you knew not to stand with the masses in the wrong line. Dockers are actually good ANY nite in ANY dining room including the steakhouse. Jackets are never required and he won't feel a bit out of place w/o one. I follow the dress codes, but NEVER dress up. Just too much to pack + haul around.

We are cruising on the Conquest September 7th. .  I haven't cruised with Carnival since November of 2000 on the Triumph. My husband and Iast sailed Princess in November of 2013.  We have been flying into the islands directly and staying. I always enjoyed Carnival cruises. Anyday on sea is better then being at work.  Things has changed. You now check in on line  from home and print off the luggage tags.  I purchased FTTF and you get assigned boarding times. Things has changed since I started cruising with Carnival in 1996 on the Sensation. I really didn't plan on this cruise as we were originally booked for Cuba. Any other tips I should be aware of ? I appreciate any suggestions. Flying in a day early from Ohio.

Yeah, with FTTF, ignore your boarding time and show up 10:30 or so as suggested. I'd also remind the porter your bags are priority + give him a decent tip. Then, when you enter the terminal, look for 2 lines. You'll be entering the expedited line with us platinum guests. One last thing, Carnival now offers anytime dining. We love it and use it every cruise. Welcome back to Carnival, Sensation was also our first cruise + we're from Dover, OH.

As said above, a statement should suffice. If it's a recent purchase and you need it before the next statement date, I'd take an online snapshot of your acct positions. Nowadays, the actual stock certificate almost never has your name on it and you never see it. Usually, the shares are in the broker's name  and you hold the shares in the street name. This allows the broker to execute a trade w/o you first mailing in the certificates. Also allows the broker to lend them (short) to somebody else and make money on your holdings, but that's another can of worms.

We are on the Panorama in February.  I reserved the steakhouse, the Italian restaurant and the Asian restaurant.  I've received confirmations from all three last week.  Unfortunately, one of them is incorrect and we now have reservations for two of the restaurants on the same night.  I will be responding to try and get it fixed or maybe will have to fix it once on board.  I'm posting this to advise to check your confirmation emails carefully in case the same thing happens to you.  You can reserve on line, but it does appear as if everything after that is done manually.

Ours also came back with an incorrect seating time. I replied to the conf email + it was corrected.

We've done several Journey cruises + love them! In fact, we just booked another for Jan 2021 on Pride. They definitely attract an older crowd. If you don't have at least 100 sea days, you're a rookie on these cruises. One guy had 1500 plus sea days on our last Journey cruise. So if you're platinum........no big deal!!!

I also reserved Teppanyaki early this month thru the website.

Yup, sailed the Miracle to Hawaii + back, loved the ship. Just got off Legend to Alaska, loved it also. Booked Panorama for Jan +  already dreading the lines. Soooo, booked Pride Panama canal Journey cruise for Jan 2021
