Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted June 4, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Does anyone have photos of the suites (any updates?) following the dry dock? ... and, what's the status of the casino with regard to smoking? Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nybumpkin Posted June 4, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Tom, we have an aft wrap suite on Deck 7 for next week out of Dover. I'll take photos. TBH, all I'm hoping for is an extra outlet or two.🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's how smokey it gets -- I was in cabin 1187 (pre-drydock) which is starboard side below the non-smoking part of the casino and could very clearly smell the smoke one night. Someone must have been winning, too, as it was quite loud at that time. Other than that one instance, I never heard any noise from the casino, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoperDK Posted June 14, 2023 #19 Share Posted June 14, 2023 We love the Spirit class Vista suites. I guess they didn't redo much in the cabin. They removed the jacuzzi tub and replaced it with a regular tub. I'm sure that makes for easier maintenance. I am too "old" for a tub anymore, lol. I would have preferred a nice upgraded shower. You just can't beat the view from those aft cabins. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiner6 Posted June 22, 2023 #20 Share Posted June 22, 2023 We were very pleased with our suite-This was the number 2 reason I chose this ship, number 1 was the itinerary. This was our first Carnival Cruise. I must say that the ship looked like it was in good shape and I had no reason to worry beforehand. The staff were all wonderful and the passengers were among the nicest I have ever met. We are Foodies and have no complaints about the included food and dining options. We always found something to our liking. We did do the specialty Chef's table which was wonderful and totally worth the cost and Farenheit 555 which was ok, but we would not do it again. The service was impeccable--the steaks just mediocre. We are not super picky and never waste food, so we enjoyed the meal, but wouldn't pay extra for it again. We absolutely loved Guy's Burgers and would sail again, just to have one! This was our first time not doing the Drink package. I had a lot of anxiety about that decision, but it was unfounded. Europe allows you to bring booze onboard. Instead of sitting in a bar all day/ we relaxed on our balcony with our own drinks/ Priceless. I did try the bar drinks in the casino--at $15 for a plain mixed drink, I found it just wasn't worth it to me anymore. Besides, it takes a long time to find a server. If you are a heavy drinker, then the Cheers package would be worth it. To me, it just depends on your personal preferences. All in all, Carnival exceeded my expectations-especially in the employees-all were so nice! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pvpollock Posted June 22, 2023 #24 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Any info about table minimums in the casino? I prefer blackjack and craps. Also, July 9th on the Pride will be my first Carnival cruise and we're going because it was "free" through a casino offer. They cited "free drinks in the casino" and $100 credit, is there a casino bar? Hoping to grab a drink sometimes and slip off for a show/etc but that will be harder if its only service at machines and tables. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't speak to the minimums, but the bar was removed from the casino, and the "free drinks" (unless it's "free drinks everywhere") are only for active players.
