Parking is $15/day or $105/week, only credit accepted.

If you're too early, you won't be allowed into the terminal. You should be able to wait in your car, I saw a few folks doing that. 

The folks at the entrance just ask if you are parking or dropping off and give you a piece of paper for that. 

I don't know if you need to go to the excursion shack for the clamshells. You just trade in your ticket with one of the workers who unlocks the clamshell/sets it up.

No bottles allowed, only cans.

Does anyone know if they still have two lines, one for cash and one for credit cards to pay for the parking at the Port of Baltimore?  Several years ago, the line for cash was much shorter, so many folks suggested using cash instead of credit.  

Credit card only now, no cash accepted. That started a little earlier this year.

You can sit out there, it's a cost effective way to get a balcony. Sometimes for a little more, you can upgrade to be unobstructed. Only you can decide if that is worth it for you.

You can find menus on line

Good resource, can see the MDR menus here https://www.saintgregtravel.com/mardi-gras-mdr-menus/ to get an idea of what will be repeated.

They are probably selling all that they can while holding a small area for quarantine cabins. They aren't like NCL where they seem to be sticking to an actual % number full.

No different than I have in the past, I was denied back in December when everybody else seemed to be getting denied because of "discounts". Last month I submitted for my cruise in May after seeing others report success and I received confirmation a few days later of approval. The perk being back will certainly entice me to book more cruises.

We submitted ours a few days ago. Where can I find that it has been added to our booking?

You'll get an email response when they add it.

Is there a summary of all the increases on May 1st somewhere? I see the amounts for the Cheers, but what about Bottomless Bubbles? 

I'm not that picky and would choose guarantee if there were significant enough savings.

One time it was no better or worst than what I would have chosen.

Another time, I got a huge handicapped room, had a window (that faced a public deck) and was close to a door to go out on "secret" deck. I was happy since I had only had a little circle port hole before.

Someone would just need to stay onboard with the child or take turns getting off the ship. 

Also, there aren't really any shops at the terminal in Nassau, it's good 10-15 minute walk to get out of the port area. Did you mean Freeport? There are lots of little shops in port area in Freeport.

Doubtful, the deals are tied to your VIFP number, but being a certain tier doesn't really influence the offers. 

I asked a similar question recently, but the ships don't always dock port side to the pier, it can change! Even from sailing to sailing. The other factors were if there was a landmark you wanted to see (Statue of Liberty for example) and if there were smoking areas nearby on that side of the ship.

They do basically touch each other, I would recommend one anyway to get some shade. I do kind of wonder if our experience was enhanced by our neighbors basically never using theirs? It was kind of funny as they seemed to have their chairs pulled out the entire time and were baking in the sun, almost like why did they even rent it..

I already had the adapters from land vacations and am happy I bring them each time. On my Legend cruise, I was able to make use of the EU chargers behind the bed, otherwise there was only 1 US outlet at the desk! And due to the configuration of the desk US and EU outlets being right next to each other, it was hard to use certain plugs and adapters at the same time. 

Confirming glitch, I got them for several days after my booking even though it was one of the first things I filled out after paying in full.

Mostly sunny, with air temps in the low 80s. This is the first time in two cruises I've seen the dome open. I was beginning to wonder if it was stuck, but it does indeed open when the weather warrants. Sadly, we'll be headed back to a very chilly Baltimore on Sunday, and the dome will once again be closed. 

 

 

So it does work! We had great weather as well last cruise and they didn't seem to budge it at all, just left the one section open that I'm told is due to the smoke from Guy's.

How does one pick which side of the boat to be on? I believe I was starboard the last time I was on Carnival Legend and it seemed to get me a good land view from cabin when we were docked at a destination (using in place of port to be less confusing!). I enjoy the people watching from my balcony and maybe looking out for pier runners (haven't seen anything too crazy yet).

Do the ships always dock the same way or does it just depend which ships are also at that destination that day? I think I've seen at some destinations, the ship name painted onto the docking/pier structure. 

On my next sailing, I currently have a port side cabin. Wondering if I should try to change that at all or just go with it. I'll be at two of the same destinations as previous sailing and one new destination.  

Chia seed puddings! I tried one based on your raves about it on my December cruise, got me hooked along with my brother. Going in May with my BF, I'll make him try one too, lol.

Has anyone flown with these test kits?

we are extending our trip a week prior to boarding so we will 

need to bring the kits with us and do the test at the hotel. 
 

carry on. Or checked bags?

I think it says to put in your carry on, so they aren't lost or get too cold in the luggage area.

You can put one on a courtesy hold and see if the offer disappears.

This!

I had a P0K recently, but it was only good for one booking. I had put one on hold and couldn't see the special pricing for that offer anymore.

Has anyone done the Stingray adventure here?  How far is it from where we do the stingrays to where the clam shells are.   Ours tour does not start until 12:30...I was wondering if we should rent a clamshell for the morning.  

Opposite sides of the island, but they have a truck/bus that drives you over to the stingray adventure and they drive you back towards the pick up point after. The clam shells are spread along the beach. We did the stingrays in the morning and were glad to have a clam shell in the afternoon. Sun is intense there.

To the OP, lunch is provided. You can use your S&S card for purchases, some of the local vendors might only accept cash, I didn't really check out those wares while there. 

The fine print of many promo offers will say only 1st & 2nd guests and just one cabin eligible.
