ednmargo Posted January 13, 2009 #1001 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I was just wondering if you could pencil in things like eggs and bacon on the room service menu. I know the menu is limited. February will be my first time on a Carnival ship. In the past with Holland and Princess I have been able to do this. Thanks in Advance!

JRock59 Posted January 13, 2009 #1002 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hi All we sail on her this coming Monday! :) I'll do my very best to remember to bring the Capers home and scan them. Also will try and take photos of the Menus. Anything else someone want? We've upgraded to a outside Verandah cabin go an offer to good to refuse! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsjc Posted January 13, 2009 #1004 Share Posted January 13, 2009 We were on the Ecstasy on the 5 night New Years Eve cruise and loved it. I saw when looking online a few days ago that she could not be booked mid Sept09 into Oct.09. I called Carnival and they said the Ecstasy was going in for a month long Dry dock to give her the "Evolutions of Fun" enhancements. So I booked Spring Break 2010 and got an awesome fair. I hope they keep it scheduled. http://www.carnival.com/cms/static_templates/promos/evolutionsoffun/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerouslymoody Posted February 23, 2009 #1005 Share Posted February 23, 2009 how formal is the formal dinning?? do men have to wear jackets or just a button down and what about the women?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted February 23, 2009 #1006 Share Posted February 23, 2009 how formal is the formal dinning?? do men have to wear jackets or just a button down and what about the women?? Carnival no longer has formal night, they have "elegant" night. We had a table full of women, one wore low cut sun dresses every night, while one mother wore a nice red suit with matching skirt. The only really dressed up was a baby at the next table with a mock tux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cks Posted February 23, 2009 #1007 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Speaking of attire, what constitutes a good "cover-up" for Lido deck? If I'm wearing a 2 piece, can I just throw on a wrap on my lower half, or do they prefer that you're all covered up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get pretty chilly going from outside to inside the ship.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm wearing a 2 piece, can I just throw on a wrap on my lower half, or do they prefer that you're all covered up? If you are talking about going into the buffet, I dont think bathing suits are allowed, so you would want to cover it up. What's this about bathrobes?? I did see several people on Lido in their bathrobes, but seemed kinda odd to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just how I pictured it when people talked about it. I tried looking on the deck plans on carnival's site, but it's hard to tell what's outside and what's inside.

Ecstasy had them near the aft area of the main pool. Some have them by the main pool, but Im not sure all do. I cant remember the Conquest already.

Not on the website but if you call the reservation desk, they can tell you. I know that Royal C. Mar 22 sailing only had 5 cabins left as of yesterday.

I guess it will be the same. http://carnival-news.com/tag/evolutions-of-fun/ The date on that was Oct 2008, since then the Sensation had balconies added. Iv also heard that Carnival reps have mentioned the balconies too. Maybe we can have a running bet and see who is right, you or me. My bet is she will get the balconies. Until it is announced, I guess we wait to see, but Im betting she gets balconies like Sensation, more than what Fantasy had done last year.

I didn't say they were or were not adding balconies. I was just trying to provide info on the subject of what might be done to the Ecstasy. If you want to see them added, then I hope you get them. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to know where to look to find things out. elizabeth If you look at the dates where there is a big gap, starting sometime in September thru about October 17th?, thats when Ecstasy will be in dry dock. Texas firefighter, I was just trying to say I dont think Ecstasy will have the same dry dock as Fantasy, I think its getting balconies, or that's what i hear. sorry, you probably were not posting to me TX firefighter, your post just happened to be after my post about Ecstasy getting balconies, so I thought you were addressing me.
