The Eclipse isn’t scheduled to sail until next Spring, perhaps they will extend the App to the Eclipse by then.  Since the new safety protocols are deeply imbedded in the App, my guess is that the App will work when she resumes sailing.

That would be nice.  I hope so.

Thanks to all for all the good info.

Walkie Talkie, might work a little bit. If you have WIFI, use a messaging app like What's App, and you can text them. If everyone has Iphones, just text them via IMessage. If you have the Premium WIFI, just call them on the phone (set phone to airplane, WIFI on, WIFI calling on).

We will have a mix of I phones and Androids.  Using the Whats App sounds like a good option.  However, I'm assuming that we will all need an internet plan for the app to work using the ship's wireless system???

I just booked an Eclipse cruise and am wondering what is the best way to keep in contact with the other couple that we are cruising with when we're separated on the ship.  The Celebrity app doesn't support the Eclipse so that isn't an option.

Thanks amyotravel and rn45!!

Does anyone have copies of a more recent Vista cruise?

All Boardwalk balconies get certain perks: (the program is called Eat Drink Play)

 

Boardwalk View Balcony

• Complimentary meal for four at Johnny Rockets
• Complimentary soda package for two guests
• Rock climbing wall session for the entire family

 

 

That's exciting.  Nice unexpected surprise.  Is there some type of voucher placed in our stateroom or is that something that comes with our docs?

We are sailing the Oasis this coming Sunday.  We have a boardwalk balcony but I don't recall any mention of a Johnny Rockets free perk.  Is this automatic with the boardwalk balcony cabin or is it part of a particular fare (that I may not have chosen)?  Is this one of those things that are placed in our cabin shortly after boarding?

Thanks to everyone for the ideas and feedback.  Appreciate it.  As suggested, we'll keep in touch with our TA to see if we can get it changed before the cruise and if that doesn't work, we'll head to the MTD desk as soon as we board.

We are currently scheduled for Late Dining on our Feb 2019 Oasis of the Seas cruise.  We are a party of 6.  We prefer early dining.  Our Travel Agent said that we could not get wait-listed for My TIme Dining or the early seating and that the late seating was the only option that she could get us.  On other cruises, we've gone to the Maitre'd upon boarding and have had luck on some occasions and not on others in changing dining arrangements.  The late dining option was going to make it very difficult to attend most of the shows.  On other cruises, there seemed to be late shows for early diners and early shows for late diners.  This cruise seems to only have late(ish) shows.  I have 2 questions:  (1) Do others have good experience with changing late dinner seating to either early or MTD on the Oasis?, and (2) Can we just show up at the dining room and expect to be seated without a reservation or being a My TIme Dining group?  Thanks for your insight/assistance.

Thanks Bob for the menus.

The menus are named after seasonings...

This was the order on one of my recent cruises, but each ship sets their own order. If you remember, please post here.

Thanks,

Barb

Barb, we're on the Navigator on July 12th as well. Could you send me copies of the menus?

I don't have a picture of either room but I did look at the Carnival site. I'm curious, what category of room did you book? It looks like you got a partially obstructed ocean view. IF CARNVAL'S DECK PLAN IS ACCURATE, cabin 7305 is odd shaped but bigger than other rooms.

My family and I are sailing May 20th, on Conquest... haven't made hotel resv. yet.

 

Are there any towns between Houston and Galveston that would have hotels, some seem kind of high there in Galveston...

 

any ideas???

 

thanks

I booked the Howard Johnson's Express in Galveston for $89.99 for a Kingle Single for May 12. They offer free cruise parking so I figured that this was a good low cost option. I've never stayed there but most of the hotel reviews that I read indicated that this is a decent, relatively new, place to stay.

rsjc,

I just sent you an email asking if you would be so kind to send them to me as well. Thanks in advance,

Keith
