I did not think the pizza at the late night eats was very good. However, the chicken tenders with honey mustard were delicious. I also enjoyed the meatball sub and hot dogs.

Just got off the Radiance today and our cruise director was Ranier.  I did not hear his name anywhere on Cruise Critic.  My husband thought he did a great job.  Anyone else ever cruise with him?

I was on the Panorama last year when he was on the Fun Squad. He was the Bingo host. So happy he has gotten promoted!

Just got off of the Venezia this morning. They have 3 big hooks behind the door and another big hook outside of the bathroom. We brought our own magnetic hooks also. The front door of the cabin is not magnetic but you are able to stick what you need next to the door. We brought our "Spending our kids inheritance one cruise at a time" magnet. 

Were you on Deck 1?  I walked by that magnet and thought it was great lol.

I am disembarking tomorrow…I will let you know what time. We will be taking our own luggage off. 

Update - we docked in NYC around 6:30 or so. I am not sure what time they started calling people off but we were in muster station D4 and taking off our own luggage…they called our station around 7:30. We were out of the terminal and in an Uber at 7:55. It was very organized.

How current is this schedule? There was a recent one that listed Joey Boyes on both Horizon and Vista around Christmas time. Someone in the cruise group for our Horizon sailing asked John Heald about it and he said it was an error and Joey would be on Vista at that time. Looking at this air table, it only shows him on Horizon from November-January. I would love for this to be correct and Joey be on our sailing. 

I am on the Venezia right now with Joey as our CD. He told us he was going to Horizon at the end of October.

Has MarcQ been switched to a different ship? I sail Venezia at the end of August. I hope whoever I have is fun!

I think he is just on vacation and is coming back to Venezia. Joey is only on the ship until end of October

That’s great to hear! I didn’t know there was a new CD.

This was his first week as CD

How has your trip been?

It has been great. Our itinerary was changed at the last minute due to Hurricane Lee, but despite that we had a wonderful time. Everyone has been so friendly & nice. The CD Joey has been awesome. The ship was rocky last night but hasn’t been too bad today. 

I am disembarking tomorrow…I will let you know what time. We will be taking our own luggage off. 

I am on the Venezia currently. I have walked by the Gondola Lounge multiple times per day and have not seen any food there. 

Hi all,

I used OBC to pay for a restaurant reservation but now we may want to change the date and/or time. Does anyone know what happens if I cancel the reservation? Do I get the OBC back immediately?

I booked our first Carnival cruise last night, a forward starboard balcony on deck 8. I am worried about the smoke smell... Will it travel far enough upward from deck 5 or down from Deck 11?

mine was on deck 6 directly above the smoking area

When I did it on magic in February they just gave us a choice of white or red wine.

Was the wine unlimited?  Thinking of doing Chefs Table on the Venezia

I won $500 on a slot machine back in 2011 on the Imagination on the last night of the cruise. I was with a group of friends that cruise so I bought everyone lunch at the airport coming home 😊

Where are the smoking areas on Horizon and what cabin were you in that was bad? I booked a cloud 9 balcony on deck 12 for our anniversary and this smoking issue isn’t even anything I thought of! 

I had a cabin on Deck 6 right above the outside smoking area on Deck 5 which I had not realized when I was booking. I copied and pasted the following from the Carnival website…hope this helps 
 

Carnival Horizon®
Cigarette smoking (including electronic cigarettes and personal vaporizers) are permitted in the following areas:

• Horizon Casino: There is no smoking in the casino unless seated and playing; it is not allowed at the casino bar or in the entire area when closed. 
• Outdoors: Smoking is permitted in designated areas on Deck 5 (port side and starboard side, forward) and Deck 11 (starboard side, forward and aft).  
• Note: Cigar and tobacco pipes are only permitted at outdoor smoking areas on Deck 5 (starboard side, forward) and Deck 11 (starboard side aft). 
• Note: On embarkation and debarkation day, smoking is not allowed outdoors while the ship is refueling. Please consider selecting a later Arrival Appointment to minimize any inconvenience on embarkation day.

Depends where you are on Deck 6…I booked a balcony room on Horizon which happened to be above the smoking area and the smell was pretty bad…won’t make that mistake again 

I was on the Panorama in September. I don’t remember what our port arrival time was but I know it was before they started boarding anyone on the ship yet. As for debarking, they did not start debarking people until shortly before 9 and we were out of the terminal and waiting for our ride at 10:30. I’m not sure what caused the delay but there were many people arriving as we were leaving. 

You could also buy Carnival gift cards with the Visa gift cards and then use those 

No there are inside rooms that have the regular two twin beds that convert to a king as well as 2 upper pullmans…I think the rooms can sleep 4

Hi,

I am considering a last minute cruise on the Celebration in February, the only inside rooms available all have two upper pullmans. Has anyone stayed in these rooms before? I am just wondering if the pullman beds will be in the way as we are just two people traveling. 

JiJi’s is amazing and well worth the money. I went to it on Horizon and Panorama…wish I had gone there more than once!  I haven’t been on the Excel class so I can’t speak to those.  

Good luck with your luggage situation - I hope you get it in time.
 

The same thing happened to me on Royal at Port Canaveral many years ago and I have been carrying my luggage off since. Maybe it’s a Port Canaveral thing?

Uber from FLL to Aventura hotel, then Uber from hotel to Port Miami the next day.  Same thing on the way back only the reverse.

have you stayed in Aventura before?  I was just wondering if it’s a nice area. I am in a similar situation where the flights are much cheaper to FLL than MIA

Take small denominations of bills so you wont need any change.  

that’s what I ended up doing…I had small bills in US dollars so I could buy a few souvenirs. I also had a credit card that has no foreign fees so I utilized that a few times. 
 

I also tipped the tour guides in US dollars they were happy to take them 😃
