sunrise2 Posted May 16, 2008 #1676 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Just wanted to take a moment and thank everyone for their info and opinions. It has helped us tremendously to plan our cruise. We sail tomorrow and when we return we will be sure to write a review. Thanks again. I am so excited because this is the first time for a balcony and we are aft. I am not going to think about the weather, because a cruise is what you make it! Also, we will be celebrating our 20th anniversay on-board so what more can I ask for? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cv322 Posted May 16, 2008 #1677 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Hmmmm pomegranate martinis sound quite good. :p My husband likes classic martinis made with Grey Goose vodka also with a few olives. :D Those are too strong for me....LOL Yes, too strong for me too! I guess it's a guy thing lol. Yes, the other restaurant is asian fusion and I just now remembered the name. It's called Dragonfly. Thanks Sandi!

CyndiT Posted May 16, 2008 #1681 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Question please...DH and I are set to sail on 06/02 on the Miracle in an extended balcony cabin and in looking at pictures of some of the balconies, etc...some of them show wooden chairs/tables and others show what looks to be canvas backed or netted backed or something type of chairs..Do they vary from cabin catagory? Just curious. Only 17 more days, seems sooooo long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cv322 Posted May 16, 2008 #1683 Share Posted May 16, 2008 We were in 8200, cat.8H, and had blue mesh chairs. One reclined & one didn't (not that it was broken, lol, just designed that way :p). They were comfortable. And there was also a small metal/plexiglass table. Sorry I have no info on the CD...never crossed paths with him. Just FYI, I'm not into it, but alot of people are: there were endless sessions on scrapbooking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen the canvas chairs in pics of the Miracle? I know that canvas ones are on the conquest class. Each ship has different chairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitown cruisers Posted May 17, 2008 #1691 Share Posted May 17, 2008 when I was on the Miracle in October, they were in the process of switching the balcony furniture from the plastic faux wood to the aluminum with the mesh. They did our port forward upper deck the night before we returned home(they removed it)...the steward was putting the new stuff out as we disembarked.

That is in response to the safety changes after the Star Princess fire. We had the furniture on the Crown Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't find anything in a search, but do interior cabin have refrigerators? all cabins have mini fridges.. but beaware that these are more like coolers then refrigerators--they dont keep stuff very cold. We used a small cooler-one that holds 12 cans for our cold drinks. Steward kept that full of ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griswolds Posted May 17, 2008 #1697 Share Posted May 17, 2008 HELP! We will be in St. Thomas in 3 weeks and I just read that the Beach Properties at Sapphire Beach are closed (restaurant, shop, food, drink). Not sure exactly what this means but Im hoping that doesnt mean there will be no food/drinks/chairs/etc available. Does anyone know anything about this or can tell me if there will be other options available at the beach. I dont want to be stranded at a beach with no amenities.:eek: http://www.**********/wwwtalk/read.php?4,91303 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiserider444 Posted May 17, 2008 #1699 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I've never seen Starbucks on any Carnival ship. The OP probably meant 2 Specialty Coffee areas, unless Carnival has changed their vendor. they are actual Starbucks. they make lattes, capps, mochas, etc.. but I am 99% sure it wasnt a Starbucks. Plus, you had to pay for these drinks anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
