Welcome everyone!  I am very much looking forward to this cruise and experiencing the "Carnival Fun Italian Style".  I loved the reveal that Carnival did a few weeks ago of what was going to be added to the ship and what they are keeping from the Costa brand.  The ship looks incredible and something totally different than what we are used to with Carnival ships!  It will be me and my husband on this sailing.  This will be our 13th cruise, well unless i manage to squeeze another one or two in before October!  We are both in our 40's and from the Pittsburgh PA area.  Who else is joining us?

Hi guys! Hubby and I will be on board! We're looking forward to the new boat. I'm excited to see pictures and videos from those embarking ahead of October. The cruise manager has holes- nothing can be booked in the spa section, they don't have airport transfers up yet, and I'm hoping they'll add in more excursions. Most of the restaurants are already booked up but we got in on the Bonsai Teppanyaki. We reserved a regular balcony. We'd like the new styles but dang they're expensive. We're both avid cruisers. Hope to see a whole bunch of us reporting into roll call soon. Thanks!

Day two after booking and 289 days to go. Today I called in to add our ride to/from the airport since I couldn't see ground transfers on my phone. I realized earlier that it'll be Halloween during the cruise! I wonder if they'll have a costume party..?

 

I could add three dining options but it's about all sold out. 

 

I'm checking into whatever carnival's offering plus researching third party excursions, but haven't booked anything yet. St Thomas is the only port I've been to before.

 

That's it for now- goodnight. 

 

BTW we're Steve and Lisa from Ohio.

This will be our third Journies Cruise, our first from NY that is only 2 hour drive and 6th with Carnival. I am excited that we can get their by Uber, no flight,  no parking, no hotel night before. The journey cruises are special, different ports and the crew loves them too and their excitement is contagious and a brand new ship.

Hi everyone, I'm Nate from DC and just booked this cruise! I'll be sailing solo. I sailed out of NYC last year and loved it. Since we get back on a Thursday, I'm going to spend a long weekend in NYC. Looking forward to trying something a bit different on Carnival.

I noticed that our sailing has quite a few sea days.  How many times do you think they will have the big lunch/breakfasts in the dining room?

 

Also, will there be any opportunities to take photos in the dining room with the gondala?

was on the things to do section yesterday and noticed the specialty restaurants are filling up fast.  booked a hibachi meal on a sea day there was still some seatings for dinner.  

 

checked out resort for a day options and those were much fewer than anticipated. 

 

 

I've been checking outside vendors and day resort pass sites and haven't had much luck there either. 

 

Its our first Journeys and we're hoping to take advantage of these beautiful ports.

We were on a Halloween cruise in 09 and somehow won the costume contest lol. I'm checking out Venetian outfits trying to find something for this time. Masquerade masks or something. I can't wait!

Just booked two seats on the catamaran excursion to the Pitons in St Lucia...one of my favorite places on earth.  

 

this is our third trip to Lucia and the Pitons are a must do every time. first time we did a land based tour to the Pitons.  it was wonderful but its not easy to get to the Pitons by land.  we found the catamaran is much easier on the body.
