Is anything different from last year? There are so many interesting activities and I don't want to get my hopes up looking forward to something that's no longer offered.
These are all the current explorer guest speakers. You have to select each one individually to see which cruise they'll be on. For example, Preet Chandi will be on the June 21 QE Alaska cruise.

The only times I ever feel crowded on a cruise ship are breakfast and lunch at the lido and going through the casino after the main stage show ends. The rest of the time there are more than enough places to get away from everybody.
We're also going to be on the June 21 Alaska cruise and I'm wearing a suit because I don't own a tuxedo. On Alaska cruises are there usually more tuxedo/dinner jackets or suits? And how does that compare to the number who don't dress up at all?
We're taking an Alaskan cruise on QE this summer. Is there complimentary hot chocolate? Packets are fine, because if there isn't we'll just bring our own to use with the kettle in the room.
Then don't book with a Carnival owned cruise line and you won't end up at Carnival owned ports like Grand Turk, Amber Cove, or Puerta Maya which are nothing but that and miles from any real city or culture.
There's a light by the floor right outside the bathroom that's triggered automatically that's bright enough to help you get back to your bed. Finding your way to the bathroom is a different matter.
