It's only about 45 minutes from MCO to Port Canaveral, so not too bad.
That would be awesome - we can start our vacation day early at Grills then walk over to the ship when it's time to board. 🙂
I'm happy to see your post! We would also like to try out MSC and Seaside looks really pretty. I'm looking forward to hearing all about it! We're also branching out a bit and will be on Disney Fantasy 8/26. That will definitely be different for us!
I've never seen a form, I just send an email to guestadmin@carnival.com with the following info:
Please apply our Carnival shareholder benefit for our upcoming cruises – info is below. Our most recent brokerage statement is attached.

I did receive $250 credit and it was broken out the way I said. If I post the email (with the booking numbers blacked out), you still won't believe it because there are no dates - just booking numbers, so what does that prove?
We have a B2B booked on Vista (6 & 8 days) next year. I emailed the request for shareholder credit last week and received the reply two days later that $250 was applied - $50 on the first leg and $200 on the second leg.
We found the wait to be very short if we checked in right when it opened. Keep an eye on the app because it often opened for check in about 10-15 minutes before those restaurants actually opened.
There is a bus system but it doesn't pick up at the cruise terminal. It's easy enough to get Uber/Lyft/taxi from the ship to the beach here - that's definitely the way I'd go.
Casa Marina and The Reach are no longer Waldorf Astoria resorts - they're now part of the Curio Collection. I always liked Casa Marina but we usually stay closer to Duval Street.
Mine are dark red and they now say Priority. When I saved them in February, they were a different shade of red (brighter) and said Platinum in dark red.
