    Great Stirrup Cay Cabanas....Cost?

    in Norwegian Cruise Line

    Posted

    If I do not see a cabana listed under shore excursions, does this mean that they are sold out?

     

    Yes, it means there are none left to rent. There aren't alot and they go quickly. Book them as soon as you book cruise if your interested in obtaining one. I would check at shore excursion desk once aboard to check if anyone had cancelled theirs. Worth a try. Good luck.

    Will the ship be loaded with kids?

    That is definitely my concern. I can honestly say that I would be would to pull my kid out for an extra day or two. It's not like they really do anything in schools the days leading up to spring break.

     

    I see another sailing (same itinerary) in March, but then I worry we'll end up with college spring breakers. So I am not sure either one would work.

    My kids were in private school so it was nothing to pull kids it for an extra day or two for a longer cruise. The school okayed it and a lot of times that longer ones would disconnected.

    Port of Tampa Question

    in First Time Cruisers

    Posted

    You can absolutely, drop off your luggage and then go park car. We have done this on all our cruises that we've driven to the port. I have even driven to park and stay hotels that charge for every guest except 1st and 2nd ones. So I've loaded everyone and luggage up dropped them all off at Port. Driven back to hotel and parked cat in their lot and taken the shuttle back for free to Port and to be with my party.

    Cheers program tips

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    Posted

    Yes. Unlimited water, soda, energy drinks, milkshakes, and specialty coffees (excepted spiked ones, those count)

     

    Wow, that's AWESOME! Thank you so much for posting bc entire party of 5 had purchased the CHEERS package and we leave a week from Monday. So it's really nice to know exactly how we can use these.

     

    Real quick, when you say speciality coffees, do you mean coffees like after dinner in the dining room if I ordered cappuccino or do you mean like from the specialty coffee shop? And can you use the CHEERS package to order a bottle water and a margarita at the same time or do I still have to order one drink at a time regardless of whether it's alcoholic or not?

    Load up on as many bottles of water and Vitamin water as you can stand in line for. No limits. Besides the alcohol, having a bunch of fluids like these in your stockpile and mini fridge are great for hot days in port. Throw them in a backpack.

     

    First time with CHEERS package as well. So I can order bottle water but it doesn't count off from my 15 drinks a day?

    In the theme park business they call this a "soft opening" aka dry runs. No guarantees that everything will be running 100%, but it makes sense to break in the ship with guests rather than just let it sit around for a few weeks I suppose. Wondering what the fares will look like.

     

    Fares are already up and posted. Go take a look. They're not cheap, that's for sure. LOL But what an amazing ship she will be. Looking forward to having our time aboard her.

    Tampa-Using Channelside Parking Garage

    in Florida Departures

    Posted

    I doubt that, though there are only a few cruise terminals at the port of Tampa. It would say its safe to assume you will park in the same garage as you did before and walk to the terminal, which are all across the street. We have used this garage for long term cruise parking but I have dropped of my people and luggage at the terminal before hand and then parked car and walked myself across street to meet my group. This way all 5 of us weren't struggling with luggage and traffic to cross the street.

    CHEERS Package inadvertently refunded?? Has this happened to anyone?

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    Posted

    So I booked a cruise 10 months before my sail date of December 4th. I purchase the CHEERS package a couple months later for myself. Today my DD30 decides she needs a vacation and joins me in my cabin. Immediately after I hang up with my PVP, I go to log on to my booking to pay/add her gratuities and her CHEERS package and NOW MY CHEERS PACKAGE IS GONE FROM MY RESERVATION!? My FTTF is still there but CHEERS is gone, as if I never purchased it. I'm hoping it shows up tomorrow but my PVP is calling me back at 930am tomorrow morning to help figure out what happened. He thinks it might have been automatically refunded back to my card. The problem with that is my card and that account has been closed, as I have changed banks. PVP says if that's the case it could take up to a month for my money to be returned to me via a check from Carnival. What a mess! :eek: Has anyone else had experience with this before?

    New place for us or visit an old?

    in Cozumel

    Posted

    Do a Jeep tour! It costs like $90 pp but you are gone all day and is customized based on your wants. We snorkeled, climbed lighthouse, lunch on beach included, beach break, tequila tasting and the views along the coast are amazing! We loved this excursion so much, we've booked it the last 3x we've been Cozumel.
