Rare Host Kat Posted May 30, 2023 #5 Share Posted May 30, 2023 FYI to all, This Roll Call title had to be edited. This is due to the following portion of How To: Create A New Roll Call: In the Title Box, type the name of your ship, your sail date and year. When you create a new ROLL CALL topic, you MUST include the sail date in the subject line, and here's the suggested format: Example: January 1, 2016 Please note the suggested date format with the month first and spelled out completely will ensure your new Roll Call topic appear in search results Hope this will be helpful! Happy sails, Host Kat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABubbe Posted June 16, 2023 #8 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Hello fellow cruisers. First time on Carnival in quite a few years. Looking forward to being on an “almost new” ship for a Mother-Daughter getaway. Fran and Marlene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartgrove Posted June 16, 2023 #9 Share Posted June 16, 2023 We booked this cruise a few months ago. Actually cancelled a cruise to Greenland in August aboard the Carnival Legend to book this instead. So far we have reserved Il Viaggio for dinner one night. Looking forward to the five sea days. I am anxious to compare it to our upcoming cruise in Europe aboard the MSC Preziosa in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to reserve Fahrenheit 551 for my wife’s birthday!! We booked this cruise back in April. We got o e of those great offers from Carnival that could not pass up. Looking forward to St Marteen, the DR as those are 2 ports we have not seen. 145 Days Till We Sail!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MZPENE Posted June 18, 2023 #13 Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) Hi all, my husband and I are looking forward to sailing on this beautiful ship as well! Have been following and watching so many videos on YouTube and Facebook from some of the people from the Trans Atlantic as well as the Inaugural cruise m...she looks absolutely beautiful and so different from all the other Carnival ships. We will be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and decided to book this at the last minute. We love to cruise and had originally decided to just use our cruise end of February 2024 as our Anniversary trip even though our Anniversary is November 12th but just couldn't pass this one up!

caribe123 Posted July 6, 2023 Author #17 Share Posted July 6, 2023 What will be your favorite port to visit.? Are there port calls that you have never visited before? Grand Turk San Juan Dominican Republic St Thomas St Marten Sea Days Sea Days are always a fav! 😎 DR have never visited ❓ Grand Turk for the clear blue water 💧 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted July 6, 2023 #18 Share Posted July 6, 2023 In the DR, if you’ve never been there before, I would strongly recommend the City Tour through Iguana Mama. We did an excellent five hour tour a few years ago. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember the price, but it less expensive than going through Carnival. I saw the tour on a ParoDeeJay video. If you search Youtube for the ParoDeeJay channel and then search for Amber Cove, you should find it. We went up the mountain to the botanical garden, saw the statue of Jesus, visited a Rum factory, cigar shop, city center, fort, and had an authentic Dominican lunch. We were the only people signed up that day, so it was like a private tour. You do need to walk outside the port area to meet the tour. On the way back, there is a cab waiting that will drive you back into the port for a few dollars. Mike Edited July 6, 2023 by Mike C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caribe123 Posted July 8, 2023 Author #24 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Are you concerned about reports of poor security and the ship being hot 🥵 Weare not overly concerned as things tend to get exaggerated. Also thinks will be worked out in next 3 months I’m sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the reports of fights on the last cruise, those are not security issues, those are cruiser issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
