The offer mini cribs across the fleet. No pack n plays.

I've been on the Horizon twice and no single bar has a great or complete scotch selection. The Carnival scotch selection isn't very large and most bars around the ship will be hit or miss if they carry a certain kind. I found that the bar near Ocean Plaza will usually have 2-3 different of the higher end scotch selections so I would usually end up there if the bourbons in P&A weren't doing it for me that night. I would suggest trying out some of the bourbons as you might be pleasantly surprised by one or two. I am a big Eagle Rare fan.

I mean it is Carnival after all. I logged in this morning and I am still seeing the cyber Monday offers for wifi and the spa even though it clearly says expires at 11:59p on 11/30. They might need some more time.

Yes, it will be more timely and less finicky than the Carnival app if immediate communication is what you're looking for.

The website is weird, sometimes it says kids under 5 free and then tries to charge you for them, and then other times it says the same thing and won't let you select your kids. Do as the phone agent suggested. Don't select your kids, just be sure to go to the shore ex desk and check in with them to see if you need a free voucher ticket (just for headcount reasons) for your kids. I've done this 3 times over the past 2 years and have never had an issue. It seems a little sketchy but it has not failed me yet.

Yes, it is $5 per person for the length of the cruise. It is not the most reliable, often time messages get delayed and arrive much later than when they were sent. Also if the app is closed you won't get notifications.

I've noticed that the Thanksgiving, Christmas, NYE, President's Week, and Spring Break trips are decidedly not school break friendly. If you want to go on any of those trips it will require an extra 4-5 days out of school for kids. There will always be kids around those times but less since its not dead on with the school breaks.

I haven't sailed on the Panorama but have sailed on Horizon and Vista, I would recommend stopping at the lido on the way to the gym to fill up your bottle. They only have a traditional water fountain in the gym. It is really annoying.

Since the room stewards are only coming for service once a day expect it to remain a bed the entire time. In the "good old days" it was much more feasible for the couch/upper bunks to be stored in the morning and opened up each evening.
