Thanks for the review.  I love how you get right to the point and quickly summarized your trip.  I'm sailing Spirit for spring break for the first time and your info is helpful.  

No one will care.  I've taken a mix of soda flavors without problem and once 16 mini cans of Fever Tree tonic as well.  Just don't be surprised if they ask to see inside your bag although that has happened to me only once.

Can you print your test result from KP.org???  Three weeks ago, I only showed the printed lab report I got from Wal-greens.  Carnival employee did not bat an eye.   

Sailed Celebrity last July.   Celebrity CHOOSES to share covid-positive case numbers with guests and actively encourages you to see medical help from their staff if you are feeling unwell.  Their social media in the past year has focused on upgraded medical facilities and staff.   Carnival chooses to NOT share their numbers or  actively encourage people to seek medical attention and generally acts as though there is no issue unless pressed by a federal agency.   I got off Mardi Gras with a head cold in April that turned out to be covid.  I did not wear a mask but there were people on board wearing them indoors throughout the entire cruise.  No regrets.  Being boosted helped.  My cabinmate who drove 9 hours home with me and my "cold"  never got covid.  

Boarded Mardi Gras on 4/2 with a 5900+ capacity.  The worst part of embarkation was the line to park.  I think we got in line to make the left turn into the parking deck at 10:15 and it took about 30 minutes.  After that, it was a breeze.  Verifly made things super simple.  Once we checked-in and entered the main part of the terminal we waited maybe 5 to 10 minutes.  I think they were boarding suites and then it was A1 (our boarding group).   Debarkation was easier although they started 30 minutes before the scheduled time so we were a little caught off guard.  We debarked with platinum/diamond and once we left our room we didn't stop walking until we got to the parking deck where we had to wait for the elevator.  

Just off the Mardi Gras on 4/9 and ended up with a  connecting cabin on Deck 14 as well.  We were shocked how we didn't hear our neighbors on either side all week - no talking/laughing/arguing/tv - nothing.

Sailed on the Edge 7/17/21 and no one asked for 10/10 reviews.  I did keep a running list in my phone of the names and positions of those crew members who really provided great service so I could mention them specifically.

You can call and ask to have you final payment date moved.  I was scheduled for July and my final payment was due in April and I called and it was moved to 30 days prior.   A week later, it was cancelled, of course!

Sailing on the Legend in a month.  Sounds like Carnival is doing everything it can to mitigate possible problems.  Enjoy your cruise! and thanks for the update.

On June Carnival cruise it was automatically split between myself and cabin mate.

Elation has the old menu. Got off the boat on Saturday and enjoyed a made-to-order Reuben last week.

I sailed a Fantasy class ship for my first cruise with 4 women sharing an inside cabin. Totally do-able. If we did it, so can you.

The crew! Sailed with Celebrity last summer and noticed the difference. I prefer the service on Carnival. Their team members are warm, friendly, and go above and beyond. Also like the fact that you are called by name all over the ship.

Thank you so much for your review. Sailing on the Elation in June and looking all the more forward to it after reading about your experience.

Thank you so much for the review. On the Dream in April and enjoying your perspective.

The first night promo is either a free bottle of inexpensive red or white wine or 50% off bottle of your choice. I've done both.

Sailed out of Port Canaveral on July 16th. Arrived at 10:45. Lines for security and then check-in were fast moving. We did have to sit and wait after that but were onboard and sitting in Serenity by 11:45.

It will be fine. Showers are the main issue. I've roomed with 3 others and either showered and dressed early or gone to the spa. It wasn't a problem and I had a great time.

Last June, my Aunt died the first day of our cruise after being admitted to hospice care six weeks earlier. When I filled out the paperwork, I had to state my relationship to the deceased and submit a copy of the death certificate. That's it. There are more lengthy forms that must be completed along with doctor's signature for leaving the cruise due to sudden illness or accident of loved one. I used Carnival's insurance and could not be more satisfied with the service I received. More kudos to the ship's staff who could not have been more helpful.

Absolutely. My friend and I walked to the zoo and although we were often the only people on foot we didn't feel uncertain of our safety.
