We haven't seen anyone eating in RedFrog on 5 and didn't see any food menus when we were there

We were on the 2/7 Sunshine sailing & I asked about food in the RFP. They don't offer it in that particular location, the bartender said it was because RFP was added during reno from Destiny. I was bummed - wanted to try those apps!

Another great review, JimZim!

Wow, great pix! We board on Saturday & I cannot wait!

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Subscribing! :)

Thank you so much to everyone who passed along positive thoughts and prayers today.....they worked and we received the good news that we were hoping for. I am so blessed to have you all as cruising friends. [emoji2][emoji173]️[emoji2]

I will be back on tomorrow to post some more photos from my review but I think I'm going to bed soon it has been a long day. An 8:30 pm bedtime on a Friday night sounds like a good idea to me

Fantastic news! Thanks for sharing your review & your dad's news with us.

Can't wait to hear more! My Dad always cruises with us and we have the best time. Is your MIL single? We can hook them up so they can avoid that pesky single rate! ;)

Did y'all not have the Cheers package? I wonder if the drinks at Shake Spot or Alchemy would be included in that?

-Kelly

I hope the OP won't mind me answering, but the Shake Spot spiked milkshakes are NOT included on Cheers. Unfortunately, there is a post on the Funville forums from a CCL employee stating they are but I asked John Heald on his FB page & he said they are not.

Jenn, please come back! :) I'm cruising on the same itinerary soon & am dying to see your experiences.

Thx for the replies! Whadda ya know - just got a new email showing the correct OBC. :) (crossing fingers) for more price drops in the next 30 days til we sail

In the pop-up, check the box "Print General Information" this will open a PDF file of your booking summary. On page 4 you will find your "INVOICE". There is a box that lists the "Itemized Charges", and underneath it another box that shows any "On Board Credit", this is where both your promotional OBC and your new OBC for your price reduction should show up.

 

Hope that was helpful, have a great cruise!

Of course, I thought to check there as soon as I posted. And unfortunately, the $20 OBC was not added there either. Hmmm. I guess it warrants another call to Carnival but quite frankly, I'm not sure I'll bother for $20. Now if I see more price drops in the next few weeks & this continues to happen, I will DEFINITELY call.

Thanks for the response, Rod!

Hi everyone! I just submitted my first Price Protection form tonight & it was denied (incorrectly) within the hour. So I called & eventually received my $20 credit. When I received the updated email from Carnival with my booking details, it doesn't show the $20 under the "On Board Credit" section BUT it clearly shows that the amount I paid in full is $20 less than the Total Charges.

Is this the way these credits show up until I board the ship? I was expecting them to show up under the OBC section with my $100 for booking this cruise while on our last one.

Fantastic review! You have convinced me that I have to sail on Oasis or Allure sooner rather than later. :)

LOVED the ppt, esp your wedding photo! Looking forward to your review. :)

Subscribed! Going on the 8-day So Carib on the Sunshine in Feb, so really looking forward to your review :)

I'm in NE Florida & saw them at the Simon mall guest services kiosk in the mall nearest me.

LOVED the comparison photos! Went on the Destiny in '98 & looking forward to cruising on the Sunshine in February. :)

I am SO bummed I missed out on this deal! I have the Barclay Carnival MC, so I would have made good use of it for our upcoming February cruise. I'm really surprised Carnival didn't send an email about it.

Thanks for another great review, Jamman! Made me remember the fun we had on the Liberty in January & even more excited for the S Carib itinerary we are doing on the Sunshine next year.

I see that Ryan gets his height from you - you towered over the other Diamonds. :D

Going on the Sunshine in Feb, so can't wait for the rest of your review. Subscribing!

Great review, love your sense of humor!

Hope the OP comes back before then. Has anyone gotten a copy of the funtimes?

Unfortunately, no.

Subscribing since I love your reviews! I'm so happy you guys took this trip after the devastating loss of your son. It is warming my heart to see your family enjoying this trip.

No beach and no snorkeling pretty much leaves touring or shopping.

 

I would search here in the forum for private tours with Sonny Binns.

Thanks for the response! Do you happen to know if he runs more than one tour at a time? My roll call group has already booked him, but our family is wanting to do something privately.

We will be in Aruba next February from 1-10pm with a group of at least 8 (maybe 13 adults) & one 22-month old. We live in Florida, so a beach stop is not necessary & not looking to snorkel at this port. Any advice?

Bumping to see if anyone has any info about this. I'm going on this itinerary in Feb & want to plan which nights to eat in the MDR & which nights to try the other restaurants.
