Does anyone else increase their vitamin/essential oil intake before a cruise?

I use essential oils daily, but 2 weeks pre-cruise i amp it up with this...

I take a daily pill of oregano, peppermint, thieves, and frankincense, plus a daily dose of airborne.

6 cruises and haven't been sick yet by doing this.

just wondering if anyone else does something like this to ward off the additional potential germs they may come into contact with.

Yeah that's why I was asking because I know there now including coffee sodas and other drinks but I didn't hear mention of the milkshakes yet.

John Heald confirmed a few days ago on his fb page that the new cheers package does include milkshakes!

even with your time dining?

I'm not sure unless you try to request the same waiter as the night before.

I plan on doing the same.

 

& thanks for your responses. Greatly appreciated.

It is no longer served on the breeze 6 day itineraries, only on the 8 day. its my favorite and I asked John Heald, he confirmed. He said that you can request it at dinner for the following night.

What is Bitter n blanc ?

its a white chocolate bread pudding with a base of dark chocolate with a vanilla cream sauce...its so good!

Do we know if things like Rock Star and the special coffees are going to count towards our 15 max. Because that would suck.

No they dont count towards the 15. all non alcoholic beverages are unlimited!

Opening up the $$ limit per drink included in Cheers! will now allow them to increase the prices on Alchemy drinks and others that fall just under the current $10 restriction with less backlash. I wouldn't be surprised to see pricing go up in the not-too-distant future.

This is what I think will happen too!

Thanks for posting

 

The new program is an improvement over the old, but there's still need for changes such as requiring everyone over 21 to purchase it and they still need a tiered option for less drinks. I did it once and found it not to be worth it. Too much pressure to drink more to break even. I prefer local beers and drinks in port so that further dilutes the value of Cheers.

It works for me as I like to try new things. Im a beer drinker at home but on a cruise, i want to try everything and at 8.75 plus gratuity...its over $10 a drink. 6 a day and im even. now that they added coffees...sooo worth it!

Still a 15 drink a day limit, non alcoholic beverages do not count towards the 15 per day!!! Souvenir glasses are excluded.

Yes no

Where did you get these answers, Carnival hasn't posted a response yet

I sent John Heald a message asking about the 15 a day max and to see if the non alcoholic drinks count toward the max, i also asked if that now includes the souvenir glasses since the limit is drinks under $50.00.. I will post his response when he answers.

Still 15 a day? Half moon key?

no word yet from John Heald on the 15 a day limit, or if the specialty coffees go toward that limit.

Sorry but they wont let you. they will take it when you get back on the ship and store it for you until debark day. My DH wanted to do the same but he had to wait until we got home.

i bring mine in my young living travel case with small vials. the little bag connects to my purse.

from what i understand it shows on your card when they scan it at any bar. the bartender will put the sticker on it for you. So just hit the first bar you see!!!

Not lately, but spring break 2013, we scored a amazing deal on the Legend 7 day. 4 people 7th floor extended balcony, $1230 included port fees taxes and tips. booked 11 days before we sailed. CRAZY CHEAP!!!!! ive never seen or had another deal like that cross my path!

Yes, they come around the dining room selling shots in souvenir glasses. No, they are not included in the Cheers program...

shots are included at a bar tho...just not in a souvenir glass

i pre purchased here in florida for our upcoming cruise...no sales tax

I think it worked well! Access to fb kept me in contact with our teens on our last adults cruise. access to ship maps and fun times is nice. although to be absolutely honest i didn't like carrying my phone around. half the fun is being disconnected! My teens are going on this upcoming cruise with us and i plan on leaving the phone in the safe all week.

there is excellent shopping down the main strip from the cruise port. There is also a very good restaurant La Mission down the strip..doesnt look like much but amazing food. we cruise in march to cozumel and we are going to try palmeras for dinner this time, we heard they are amazing.

you may have to call a carnival rep. im not sure how to fix that.

Did you book your mother as the 2nd person to begin with or someone else?

if you booked someone else and are changing it...its a $50.00 name change fee.

Thanks, but what does Gold get? :)

Free bottle of water in your cabin, and a pin.

Subscribing! great review so far!
