Thanks so much for posting while onboard and for all the great pictures. I didn't know before now that I wanted to sail through the Panama Canal. I'm going to add it to "the list." Just an awesome review!

I really enjoyed your review! Thank you for the compasses, too. We are going on sept 7 sailing so it was nice to hear your comments on the cruise.

Absolutely mesmerizing! Thanks for sharing, was great!

Radio, Just have to give you a huge THANK YOU for the wonderful pictures posted on your FOTKI site. I had heard of the larger Central Park balconies and actually booked one based on what I had read. Thanks to your pictures, now I can see just how large the balcony is. Again, thank you so much for spending the time to help us out! Hope your next cruise is super!

Radio - I am really enjoying your posts. I will be on the Allure this exact week next year - same itinerary, too. It's nice to get a taste of what I have to look forward to. Your pictures are wonderful.

Just want to thank those of you who advised calling for a balcony discount!! You are all so smart!

When I originally booked my Hawaii cruise in August of 2010, I used a Next Cruise booking I had made in October of 2009. I asked up front if I could get the $200 on board credit and the balcony discount for $200 (for a 12 night cruise). At first they told me yes, and then on a later call when I was checking the receipt, they said I couldn't combine the discount. I even escalated to a supervisor and was told no way, I could not combine the onboard credit with a platinum balcony discount. I was so disappointed :(

Anyway - reading through this thread, I realized that maybe things had changed. I just called and got the $200 balcony discount for the cruise after all!!! So happy about that! No problems at all and I have all of you to thank!

They are now called Fun Times. I posted them on this post: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1253743&highlight=

Thanks so much, Mikure - it was so nice of you to scan everything. You have made a lot of people's day I'm sure!

And thanks to everyone else who has contributed so much to this thread. I love reading about and making plans for my upcoming trip. Oct 17 can't get here soon enough...

Our first cruise with Carnival will be on the Splendor in October and we are really looking forward to it! I am really enjoying the pictures and videos. Thanks for sharing!
