    Is there a beach in walking distance of the ship?

    in Barbados

    Posted

    We visited the Boatyard on our last trip, and it's about a 20 minute walk from the ships (we took a taxi; it was maybe a 5 minute ride). It's $20 including a lounge chair, umbrella if they aren't all taken, a drink, and transport back to the ship. Nice bathrooms, free wifi, it was really a great find! http://www.theboatyard.com/

     

    Next door to there is Lobster Alive, which we hit up for some fantastic late lunch. They also have loungers and umbrellas if you like a quieter venue.

    And who at the pier do they have to go over these custody/visitation legal papers, some of which can be wordy and complicated? Weekend Judges? Paralegals? Magistrates?

     

    Nobody from the cruise lines will ask for documents like this.

     

     

    Omg.

     

    Yes you need documentation; here's a link:

    When you're with kids, you can never be too prepared.

    cheers program

    Cocktails are blended drinks. I posted a link for FAQs since you said you could not find it.

     

    I asked a question about what you misunderstood.

     

    And just WOW to everyone else. I should know better. Are you all having a bad day?

     

    I believe you mean that blended drinks are cocktails - while it may be implied that they're included on the carnival site, it is reasonable to ask since it wasn't specifically stated (particularly since they did mention virgin blended drinks).

    Help with seasick remedies for a 5yr old

    in Family Cruises

    Posted

    My sister has issues with motion sickness and has had great results when cruising with the wristbands. We always always traveled with green apples and ginger snaps (the ones from Trader Joe's are fantastic!) to help with the upset tummies. Access to fresh air and being able to see the horizon help me.

     

    We had an inside cabin on our first cruise and I found myself feeling ill mainly in the mornings when we'd get up from bed. Luckily we were prepared and had Gatorade and water ready, and preordered toast, fruit, and tea. Having some simple food in my stomach and staying well hydrated made all the difference!

    The definitive Cheers program Thread

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    My husband and I are sailing in an 8 day cruise 12/18 on Sunshine. I've seen the prices for coffee, espresso, milkshakes. What is the cost of something such as a BBC or a frozen drink? We aren't heavy drinkers - am thinking perhaps a mimosa in the morning/coffee for him; maybe two drinks by the pool, a pre dinner drink, soda at dinner (he may get wine) and one during a show. Not sure that justifies the $919 cost for the two of us. Can anyone offer advice, please?

     

     

    Going off of what you wrote I came up with the following:

     

    Breakfast: 1 Small Fancy Coffee - 2.95 1 Mimosa - 7.50

     

    By the Pool: 2 Drinks each at ~7.25 per - 14.50pp - 29.00 (Piña Colada, Daiquiri)

     

    Pre-Dinner: Alchemy Bar - 8.95pp - 17.90

     

    Dinner: 1 Soda - 1.95 1 Wine (Chardonnay) - 6.25

     

    Show: Library Bar - 8.75pp - 17.50

     

    Total: ~83.05/day pretax

     

    Cheers: 49.95pp - 99.90/day pretax

     

    Since I'm not sure exactly what you enjoy (or even if I read your post correctly) you'd have to adjust it accordingly. http://www.cruisemapper.com/wiki/711-carnival-cruise-bar-menu-prices

    Cost of drinks on CCL?

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    Posted

    Some of the wines are $15-20/glass or more at the steakhouse bar (don't need to eat there to access it), and they have some higher end scotch as well from what I understand that can be pretty pricey. I think some of the top shelf mixed drinks are where it'd really start pushing the $50 limit.

    Birthday "gifts" from Carnival

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    Posted

    This is a really cool program! We're going to be sailing during our anniversary (Thursday on a Sat-Sat cruise). If we actually were to get one of these, would it be on our actual anniversary date, or just sometime that week? I love wine, and the spa, and getting pictures of us together that aren't selfies [emoji16][emoji991]
