Rare mamiamjo Posted May 13 Author #26 Share Posted May 13 (edited) 5 days left on the countdown, need to get serious about packing and getting things done around here before we leave Friday morning. Edited May 13 by mamiamjo 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mamiamjo Posted May 13 Author #27 Share Posted May 13 (edited) More Planning Information... Dining: We booked Your Time Dining and used some of the OBC to reserve Teppanyaki on the first night and 555F on night 2. We also plan to visit Cucina one evening (not sure which). For the other 5 nights, we'll play it by ear, I'm sure we won't starve. 😉 We'll probably do Chi-Bang one night for dinner, but to tell the truth their menu doesn't look that impressive to me. We definitely want to check out Shaq's Big Chicken and Emerils at some point during the cruise along with the obligatory Guy's Burgers, Blue Iguana, Pig & Anchor and Sea Day Brunch. Also need to try Street Eats, Miami Slice and the Deco Deli! And that's just a partial list! I'm definitely going to need to start a diet when we get back 🤣 Edited May 13 by mamiamjo 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mamiamjo Posted May 13 Author #28 Share Posted May 13 I’ve tasked my son to bring us some of these when we meet up on Friday so we can bring them on board. Hopefully he won’t forget but if he does we’ll just need to go to the store before we board. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mamiamjo Posted May 13 Author #29 Share Posted May 13 Getting closer. Doing laundry and trying to figure out what to pack 😕 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mamiamjo Posted May 13 Author #30 Share Posted May 13 (edited) Went to order some BYTOX online just in case, but they want $40 for 12 patches 😬 Let's see, there are two of us on an 8 day cruise, we'd need 16 at least which means we'd need two boxes! Not happening! I ordered a cheaper brand with something like 24 patches for $20. I figure hopefully that's good enough along with some Advil and Liquid IV 🤞 Edited May 13 by mamiamjo 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mamiamjo Posted May 13 Author #37 Share Posted May 13 Just finished checking in online. I did the initial check in on May 2nd (taking advantage of Platinum early check in window) but needed to finish entering passport information. Now I'm ready to print luggage tags and boarding passes, except the printer is out of paper (need to go pick some up😔) and need to change the ink cartridge (at least we have 😉the new cartridge on hand). Since we wanted some time to say goodbye to DS, D-IL and GD before heading to the port, we selected a 11:00-11:30 check in time, and ended up with a D02 boarding group. Not sure how fast the boarding goes once it gets started but hopefully by the time we get there, check in and go through security D02 will be called to board.🤞 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mamiamjo Posted May 14 Author #42 Share Posted May 14 I’ve spent quite a bit of time reviewing online videos of the ship and the Spa Balcony Cabins so I kind of know what to expect but I have a question that maybe someone can help me answer. How can I tell the layout of the stateroom, specifically where is the bed located? The reason I ask is that I’ve seen cabins with the bed in the middle 😕 and I’ve seen beds next to the balcony ( which we definitely prefer 😎) but I haven’t seen anything describing why the difference and how to tell which layout we have. If anyone knows how to tell please let me know 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone knows how to tell please let me know 👍 The attached accessible deck plan seems to be the best way to check. The grayed out cabins don't accommodate scooters, and I believe that means the bed is in the middle (close to the bathroom). We've been on Mardi Gras 4 times and Celebration once and this has held true for all our rooms so far. carnival-celebration-accessible-cruising-deck-plan-pdf.pdf 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually kind of nice when we were sitting on the sofa and had the nice ocean view. I just think when the bed is by the balcony, the room seems bigger. https://www.carnival.com/searchresults?search=celebration accessible deck plan&search_filters={"us"%3A1} 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
