I booked Casino rate. It said it included free play. When will I find out how much?

weird. I cruise out of miami in two days and havent seen anything. I have faster to the fun though and already printed my cruise docs.

Where are you sailing out of? I'm not sure how it works in every port, but out of New York City you can't purchase the package until the ship is in international waters so you buy drinks individually and then when you purchase cheers once the ships in int waters your S+S account get credited back for the early drinks and they count towards your 15. Not sure how it would work in ports that sell cheers from the beginning, but thinking you might have found another way around the 15 drink limit for day 1 lol.

We are sailing from Miami.

We want to purchase cheers. We want to wait till our entire party is onboard before we go to the location to do so. My cabin mate and I have faster to the fun. The others do not. Say I have 2 drinks before we go to buy the package. Will I be refunded the money for the two drinks and then have them count toward my 15 or will I start fresh at that point?

I think carnival may have banned the over the door orginizers.

Nope still allowed

Over-the-door shoe holders, long used in cabins by cruisers to organize everything from toiletries to jewelry, can still be used aboard Carnival Cruise Line ships -- but with stipulations. Line representative Vance Gulliksen says, "they may only be used if they are a fire retardant material and do not damage the door," adding that they must also be hung on the inside of the cabin, rather than facing out into the hallway.

I know I have seen it before but someone traveling with someone in our group cant go. We sail in 3 days. She will be a no show. Will this have any effect on the other person in the cabin with the no show? They both booked on their own credit cards. Will the person who is going have any issues with printing boarding passes?

I leave Wednesday morning. What are things you have accidentally forgotten to pack for your cruise? ANyone got a good check list. I got a power strip, an over the door organizer, all my chargers for my devices. Hmmm.

2 till we leave 3 till we Cruise. Woot woot

I am on the Victory on the 14th. We are staying at YVE the night before our cruise. It is also across from Bayside Marketplace and a CVS store. January is high season in Miami. Our room was 200 for the night. We booked via expedia.

Does said bottle of wine count against my 15 drink limit? anyone know?

This is my first time in a balcony. Its my friend who is traveling with me first cruise. But I have only been on 6 previous cruises.

One week from now at about this time we will be getting ready for sail away on the Victory. So excited.

Good question. I was wondering the same. I pray I remember to pack my fitbit charger. LOL. I will be on the victory next week.

We had hardly any charges after cheers and tips. Think I bought one picture and maybe a Christmas ornament in the store.

 

Better to get cheers, then you can get what you want when you want , we had booze in the room once it's a real drag having to go all the way back to the cabin when you want a drink

I agree with this. Unless you use the spa or buy lots of pictures you wont have much else on your tab. But if you play bingo or gamble then you may have more. I am getting cheers this trip. Last trip I spent a small fortune on booze and this time I want to know exactly what I am spending.

We sail the Victory next week. I will do a review when I return.

Victory does not have American Table, they are still using the "old" menus. That is as of this week. If you check John Heald's Facebook page, he is on the Victory this week and there have been several clues that show this.

 

Also, as per Carnival's FAQ's:

 

This new complimentary dinner concept is currently being tested on the following ships: Carnival Breeze, Carnival Conquest, Carnival Freedom, Carnival Glory, Carnival Imagination, Carnival Inspiration, Carnival Liberty, Carnival Magic, Carnival Pride and Carnival Triumph. Please note: This experience may vary slightly among these ships.

Are you tasting the salt air yet? I am so excited. I hope to see you guys next week.

I have had a dream about forgetting my passport. Ughh. Such a real dream. But I always use it to check in at the airport so if I don't have it there I haul butt home to get it.

Does anyone know? HAs anyone cruised victory lately?

If there is an emergency they can call 888-carnival and Carnival will contact the ship for them. Be sure to leave your booking number, the ship's name, date of the cruise and your full names as booked with close relatives and/or friends.

thank you kindly. I appreciate this.

I have searched Carnival's website and am unable to find out how someone could reach me in the event of a true emergency! Can anyone point me to this information? I am sailing on the Victory next week and leaving kids at home and want to provide information for my husband who will be staying with the kids.

Check out my status clock, Puerto Rico here I come!!!!

Wanted to tell you I loved your Victory Review. Cant wait to be there next week,.

wow cruiseguys2009 really covered it. I loved the Sensation. I was on it January 2015 and had a blast. Met so many nice people. They had a great little band outside the Casino.

9 days until we are on the Dream out of San Juan for 10 days. Can't get here soon enough, as the cold weather has finally found its way to Ohio.

I'm in Ohio too. I was wishing it would wait till we left to get cold here.

We booked YVE in Miami for our stay next week off expedia. It was 169 a night before taxes. Its high season down there. But I can let you know how it is next week. There is also a forum for Florida Departures you can post this in. I posted a similar question and got some good answers there myself.

Has american table rolled out to the Victory yet? I am cruising on her next week and am curious.
