From the window

View...

Loved loved loved them. Just spent last week in them. The view was awesome. Seemed like a huge room ( our last few have been insides on Carnival). Will try to post a pic.

In Grand Cayman today. 7am lineup for tender tickets if you want off early. Cruise has been good. Not thrilled with the Cafe Promanade. Limited offerings though my daughter is loving the coconut cookies. Roughly 450 kids on board which has been the lowest count since mid February. Food has been perfectly adequate.

Any update on unlimited photo package or if they offered a discount mid-cruise?

Packages start at 119. Haven't seen a discount.

How much is the unlimited wifi package and how much is the photo packe(prints and cd)? Curious if I should pre-pay for photo package. Thanks :)

My husband just said 170-something. That may have been with the 10 percent discount. Will check out photo prices next time I'm down there.

Currently onboard and loving it. In one of the panoramic oceanview rooms...great size of room, and the window is fabulous. Much larger room than we are accustomed to on Carnival.

We are traveling with 2 kids - 5 and 7. Happy to answer any questions.

We sailed on the Carnival Magic last year the last week of March. There were just over 1500 kids on board. Now, either they were the best behaved group of kids or the kids' activities are outstanding, because I never would have know there were that many.

Not sure if that's better or worse than spring breakers...but we must have hit on somebody 's vacation week!

We are sailing on the 30th on the Navigator and were considering the Replenish Package for the kids. I noticed that non-alcoholic cocktails were included but that more expensive packages included frozen drinks. Im curious if your sister was trying to get frozen mocktails as opposed to a non-alcoholic beverages.

Our preference is 2 inside cabins. We do a "boys room" and "girls" room. On our upcoming sailing it was only $200 more for 2 cabins vs jamming 4 in an inside.

Have they announced how many kids are on board? We sailed the Magic last year the last week of March and there were 1500. But I don't know what they did with them! We never would have guessed...well-behaved and well-entertained. We are on the March 30 Navigator sailing and are looking forward to it!

Hi

Just got off the phone with RCCL. The gentleman indicated that the unlimited wifi plan has not been rolled out to the Navigator. Trying to confirm if anyone has experienced it on the Navigator, and what the price was. He told me the max package is 1666 minutes for 399.95.

As others have said, it all depends on the kid(s). Ours are 5 and 7. Our 7 year old is going on cruise number 5 this year. We find that morning excursions work best for us. Even at 5, we find afternoons to be hit and miss with our son. We have early morning kids...so by the afternoon sometimes our son gets tired. We do our excursion in the morning, return to the ship for lunch, and judge from there. Last year, our daughter wanted to go to the kids' club in the afternoon, so we dropped her there and the three of us went back into Grand Cayman, and just walked a bit and grabbed an iced tea. Our son was thrilled he got a little alone time with M and D, and daughter was happy because she had her fun.

Our kids are 5 and 7 -- good swimmers, but still small kids. How deep is the water where the water trampoline and other fun stuff are?

We were at that Margaritaville in MoBay last year. Myself, husband, 5 and 7 year old. Lunch, 3 or 4 mixed drinks, and smoothie type drinks for the kids (1 each) was around $100 with tip.

Are the prices for the wifi the same as Internet? If not, could you post the rates?

Much appreciated!

We were quite happy at the Iberostar all-inclusive. Not at all crowded.

Our kids loved the option to dine with the kid's club for dinner. We were a little unhappy that they would prefer to eat in the buffet than join us for dinner, but we got past that. I think this time around we will "require" that the kids join us in the main dining room for lunch when it is available and then if they want dinner with their friends, I still feel like I had a sit down meal with them. They're 7 and 5.

Thanks for the information. We took the kids to the Margaritaville in Montego Bay last year and they had a blast, depite there not being any water activities. We sat outside, they enjoyed their frozen mocktails and snacks, and loved to listen to the music. While we do understand it probably isn't targeting the family crowd, we are smart enough to select seats where the kids can't see any of the goings on inside where the dj was.

Greetings

Im wondering if anyone can report on the Margaritaville in Falmouth -- I understand that the pool was delayed in opening, and wonder if things are up and running now. We are looking for something to do without going too far, and looking for something to keep our 5 and 7 year olds entertained.

Good morning

Could you post if you see the Freestyle coke machines.

Much appreciated!

We enjoyed the day. The pool was nice. The food was standard all-inclusive food. The kids enjoyed it, but our kids love any pool. Like most areas in Cozumel, the beach isn't great. They have a pier you can walk down and climb into the water to do some snorkeling...our older one loved it but the four year old just liked to look at the fish from the pier. we would go again, mostly because it was very quiet.

Does anyone have recent experience at the Iberostar for a day pass? We went last year, and it was $45 for the day, including all food and drinks (half price for kids). Just wondering is anyone has been there more recently?

So royal says they are adding royal babies/tots to Adventure in april. Which is the main reason I'm booking with Royal, and paying more.

Anyone have an recent feed back about the royal tot program? Mine will be closer to 3 by the time we sail, possibly even potty trained. I'm sure she will like it since we will play it up and say its "school" (her brother goes to preschool, so she will get it)

Anyone have issues with separating siblings in different classes?

Will also have a newly 4 year old in the regular kids club.

As I understand it, The Royal Tot program is for parents and kids to play together. So while the 3 year and older kids go off to their program, the under 3 crowd has play time with Mommy or Daddy. I know my then 4 and 6 year old weren't happy about being separated, but it turned out ok.

We go through a lot of saline solution...any time the kids get a sniffle or a running nose, the pediatrician said to blast the saline solution up their little nose! Has warded off many evil spirits but is also good for acting before ear infections take route. It never seems to fail, any time they step off an airplane someone is sniffling!
