Someone on our cruise group got it for our November cruise. Most others have not. But my luggage tags no longer have FTTF on them...glad I save the original PDF 🙂 Not that it will matter at all.

Off topic, but how did you already get your luggage tags?  I'm cruising in November and don't see an option to print luggage tags on my Cruise Manager.

Curious about this myself!  I'd love to hear from folks who've been there, done that!

 

I'm glad cloud cat had butterflies for lunch, but I was more in the mood for a seaday brunch

 

SCUBA diver, IT professional, certified supertaster, expert cruise reviewer, and poet laureate. Color me impressed. 😂

Thanks for the stellar review! It was hilarious and super helpful.

Here's the link to the menus. First night should be Mojo. The second night is formal night and will be the saffron menu. Not sure about nights 3 and 4.

OK maybe this will work? And thanks for your patience and feedback as I learn how to do this! Y'all are my guinea pigs today!

Perfect! Thanks so much for sharing! Did you enjoy your Thanksgiving cruise? I've tossed around the idea of doing a holiday cruise, but they're pretty spendy. Worth it in your opinion?

This is a cracking and informative thread.

 

Does anyone have a sample of a daily 'fun times' The Fun times is what Carnival call their daily programme/leaflet thats in your cabin the night before.

I believe Royal Caribbean calls their daily program "Compass". I found one on another thread that was a couple years old, but I've been searching for a more recent one. If I run across anything, I'll post the link here.

Does any know the order of the mdr menus for the independence 4 day cruise to cozomel. We are trying to decide which nights will be specialty nights...thanks!

I've been trying to find info on the current MDR menu myself. Also curious about the Compass. If I dig something up, I'll post a link here.

Thanks for the feedback. I did get a really good deal on the cabin, and I'm not uber picky as we won't be spending too much time in there anyway! But I did want some natural light. It's gonna be great!

Since we're cruising on the cheap this time, we booked through Early Savers--which is awesome on the wallet, but gives VERY limited deck/cabin choices. We're in M8 (fore, port side). Anybody had that cabin? Tell me it's spectacular.
