You can't preview your photos. The photos in the hub app are ones you can upload and share. Sometimes they display them on the big screen on Lido.

I've only sailed on RC Oasis class and Freedom class. I've also sailed 2 different Carnival ships. I'll say I prefer RC ships, but Carnival atmosphere. I don't think you can go wrong with the Vista. It's going to be a beautiful ship and we are booked on her in 2017.

A cruise is what you make of it. Give Carnival a try and don't overthink it!

We used MJS. $15 pp and new Mercedes vans. Easy peasy.

Enjoy the Breeze! We've sailed her twice and love her.

We will turn gold on the 6th night of our 8 day cruise. Our cruise documents say gold on them. Yours should as well.

Love Matt! We've failed with him twice and in September his mom and brother were on board as well. The brother is just as easy on the eyes and his mother was so sweet.

Always a ship model and a photo mug.

Try to hop on a roll call and ask there!

I am also an addict! I didn't know the little ones came in a box! Where did you find it???

The little ones in the box are not refrigerated. Find them on the coffee aisle.

Our first cruise was on Paradise and the only way I could think to describe it to others was "Think if Elvis or Liberace owned a cruise ship. That's what it looked like." Don't know if Farcus designed Paradise but it's hideous. Give me Breeze or Sunshine any day

On Breeze they sell Carnival gift cards in Cherry on Top. Hope this helps.

I would pick door #3. We loved Ocho Rios and swam with dolphins at Dolphin Cove. It was a very nice facility, clean, super friendly people. It's the best excursion we've ever done in 5 cruises.

We looooove the Breeze. We love the decor and food options. The crew is awesome, though Matt Mitcham is gone. Lido deck is way too small. We like dive in movies and the overall atmosphere. It'll be my fave until Vista is here.

I LOVE YOUR VIDEO! Sailing Sunny in just over a month. I'm even more excited now!

I'm the one who started the above-referenced thread. I decided to pay the early bird boarding for us so that I wouldn't have to worry about it. We disconnect from reality--and the internet--on our cruises, so wouldn't buy any of the packages. I also didn't want to forget, or spend any time obsessing about making sure I checked in. Simplicity and peace of mind on vacation is worth $25 to me!

It's such a small amount of money and you'd just spend it somewhere else! Enjoy your trip!

We pay early bird and it automatically checks you in 36 hours before the flight. When we get back to the states I check my app and can see my boarding position. I fly with a nervous Nellie so I want to make sure we can board and sit together so he doesn't freak during the flight.

Weird. My texts would not go through and would come up saying "Not Delivered" in red with the exclamation point.

I should clarify. With the social media plan my texts went thru. No iMessage tho.

If you get gift cards you can apply them at check in. Every time I've tried to do it at the kiosk it's told me there was a zero balance. One of those times it was a $500 gc. My heart dropped and I had to visit guest services for them to apply it.

My iMessage hasn't worked on the ship, (blue bubble) but regular text has (green bubble)

Welcome to your new addiction!

Nassau. Nassau. But mostly Nassau.

I see lots of people didn't like Jamaica. I went to Ocho Rios prepared to hate it but we had the best time. The people were some of the friendliest on any island we've been on and we didn't experience any pushy vendors. We were pretty much left alone.

But I hate Nassau.

Serenity will be closest bar but I'm not sure of the hours. Lido deck would be next and Red Frog and Blue Iguana are down there and open late.

We always get EB when we fly SW and have always been in group A. They automatically check you in 36 hours before your flight, you don't have to do a thing.

I love trying other lines and like different lines for different reasons. I love RC ships but Carnival laid back atmosphere and crew. They also have great itineraries. We have an NCL booked as well.

I'm not loyal to anything that's not loyal to me. No harm in trying other lines.

Not on any Carnival ones I've been on but they had it on Allure of the Seas and I played it for hours. I love it
