Ken at the beach

Absolutely. Probably would be similar to how boarding was pre covid with no check in times. People tend to spread outvyhrouhout the day but for sure there would be a few more earlier on. We've slways had thr earliest boarding time but no one ever checked so it didnt seem to me like they were enforcing it.

Thanks! My daughter has already given me my marching orders....at least 1 drink at every bar.

Thanks.

I'd love to meet but I think they are booting us off early for yje shuttle back to iah.

Definitely. At least I won't run out of drink vouchers.

Thanks! I have bartenders to train.

Sorry, they don't on a regular basis. It is only for this sailing that they are providing gomplimentary shuttles.

That's a good thing as we are minutes away from boarding our flight and heading to board her tomorrow.

Nothing like a burger at 8 in tje morning as you are at the airport heading out for a cruise. Skipped having breakfast st 5 am when we left home so I was pretty hungry and sbout halfway through the burger before I remembered to take a photo. Flying into Houston, staying overnight by IAH and then taking the free shuttle Royal is providing to Galvsston in the morning. Boarding Allure for the 4 day trade event sailing to Cozumel. I had John send me his 8 day drink list from his Mariner sailing....going to see how much of a dent I can put in thst in 4 days.

You can still change ship and sail date for a $100pp fee.

Not if you find a TA with group rates, then the price will actually go down.

Six cruises this year and never once did they look at my time.

Unless there was something else this was a policy that Carnival implemented. The charge is for a 3rd dinner. First 2 are free

No hassle at all

They were quoting a different poster who said there cabin was over the MDR

doubtful, most of the times they are correct

You must wait for it to be officially assigned and then call and just say that you want to change from room xxx to room yyy. (new room must be in the excat same category not just another inside or balcony...4v to a 4v etc. Don't mention that it was a guarantee.

You must wait for it to be officially assigned (actually see your cabin number on your booking and not through reading the barcode) Then it can only be switched to the exact same category, in your case another CI stateroom.

Once a gty has been officially assigned it can be changed to any other available rooms in the exact staeroom category

Any bonus if you stay on this sailing with the altered itinerary.

Specialty restaurants are not open on port days.

Not sure who I have to thank but I think it's @Ocean Boyand @Sea Dog, apologies if I missed anyone but we had Vikki's uncle over for dinner last night and he's a rum drinker so i bought a bottle of Kraken....good choice. I'm not a rum drinker but I had a drink and will definitely add this to my list of drinks.

Back to your credit card.

Hope for a KSF to appear in the future

Those went down pretty easy. We used to do these back in my college days Snakebite shots - tequila - Jack Daniels - Hot Sauce
