Ha. No nothing like that. Just regular friends. One knows about my cruises but doesn’t know about Saint Greg. The other has no idea I’ve ever been on anything larger than a fishing boat. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted October 9, 2021 Author #2577 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I got my Panorama room assignment and I'm very happy with it. I booked an upper/lower guarantee so I was expecting to be in a closet on deck 1. I got a regular interior like I normally book with the king bed and all that up on deck 7. Right by the secret deck which is nice. It'll be very easy for me to step out and catch the sunrise/set. It's actually about 5 steps from the room I booked on Vista in December. No connecting rooms. No bunk beds....none of that. I came out pretty good for $400. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted October 9, 2021 Author #2578 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Oh and on Vista...my friend cancelled. So I don't have to worry about him planning my cruise for me now. He said his grandmother broke her hip or something. They say everything happens for a reason. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised to read that you booked this way. Sounds like you got a great deal and room location anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did an ocean view guarantee on my second or third cruise. I like to pick my room but not for double the price. This is my cheapest cruise since my first cruise…a 5-day on elation back in 2014. I’d book these if they had them at this price more often. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roscoe13 Posted October 9, 2021 #2582 Share Posted October 9, 2021 What another St. Greg adventure? Are we going to have to change your name from St. Greg of Mardi Grasis to St. Greg of Panoramais? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well.....Remember how I said I was stretching to make the 7-day cruise? I have to work Friday. And when I looked at flights my options were to either get in after midnight...maybe get some sleep...maybe be dead tired the first day. Or get a regular night of sleep and get on the first flight out in the morning. Which is what I picked. The flight I booked got me into LAX at 7:30am. Plenty of time. But then right around the time I was getting on Mardi Gras they changed my flight to where I leave at 7:45 and get in at 9:11. Why couldn't they make it 9:10 or 9:12? So it's a little risky. I'm debating on whether or not I should book a Carnival transfer from the airport...or just Uber/Lyft it again. I'm thinking Uber/Lyft then I can maybe beat that shuttle crowd to the port. I was just thinking maybe that transfer would give you extra protection against a vehicle delay like carnival excursions do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it that you are flying out on the 30th? BTW, Patti and I just checked into the Long Beach Hilton an hour ago. Can see the Panorama from our room window. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webecruzen Posted October 10, 2021 #2587 Share Posted October 10, 2021 We fly out the 30th as well. Taking Carnival shuttle to LAX then renting a car to do some sightseeing. We don’t fly out until 11:40pm. Not an ideal flight home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah…so that’s going to be….interesting. And I have to figure out the logistics of trip A with friend 1 who doesn’t know about trip B with friend 2 that starts the day trip A ends.

Yes, Carnival provides it at no charge. It's been reported that sometimes it was on changearound day and sometimes the day before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
