I have only cruised once and it was dissappointing that it was like a ghost town after midnight....I hope the Pride is different...I have heard it is a party ship!.

Well if we drink 6 a day we will be even...and anything over will be free....we will probably have a couple bloody marys at breakfast....then a couple in the after noon by the pool and I am sure a couple at dinner so I guess we are getting it...even with the port days...only one day we will be at port long enough to be off the boat any amount of time.

Hard to find a lounger there as well. We had gorgeous weather on the sea days which hurt the chances as well. Regardless, phenomenal cruise!

I am so looking forward to it....only real challenge now is to Cheers program or to NOT cheers program...I don't think I will benifit but I know my DH will and both peeps in the cabin have to purchase. Thoughts?

What's wrong with the main pool on lido?

Nothing could just never get a chair so was just wondering....

Nothing...just could NEVER get a chair....so read about this serenity pool and was just wondering if it was just as bad to get a spot.

Thanks....guess I will have to get up early....lol...but last time seemed like the towels were on EVERY chair really early....

Had a Vista Suite room 4237, absolutely amazing.

Only ate in the dining room twice....food was eh.

Weather was superb the entire trip, other than a morning in Freeport.

Did Chefs Table.....experience was incredible as was the food!

Ate in the Steakhouse two evenings. Beyond delicious.

Went to only one show, marriage show, hilarious.

Vibrations were apparent but didn't ruin the trip at all, in fact helped us sleep!

Alchemy bar....best bar on any ship!

Won big in the casino.

Overall great trip! We are pulling into Baltimore Harbor as I type.

Any questions????

Wondering if the serenity pool is as peaceful as they make it out to be...last carnival cruise couldn't get a pool chair the entire 7 days...this is my second cruise and would like to spend some time sunning as we will be at sea 3 days before hitting land....

Just learning my way around...was trying to find out about going to Atlantis without buying an excursion

:o Sorry...I was just scouting the Nassau free lance excursions...LOL..have no clue it was old...

How far is Crystal Palace from the ship....

Also seen where someone said the aquairim is free after 5 pm??? is this true

I am going on my first cruise with my husband in October. We are going with a bunch of friends including my best friend and her future husband who are actually getting married on the ship before we set sail.

I am trying to decide if we should purchase the "Cheers Program" or just buy as we go. For the both of us on an 8 day cruise the cost will be $790.00. I understand that the liquor bill really adds up, but I have no idea what drinks cost on a cruise. For instance what do they charge for a Bloody Mary or a Martini? For those of you who have cruised on Carnival, what brand of Vodka do they offer? Do they have Kettle One or Grey Goose? My husband is a beer drinker and I see that you can pre-order 4 pks of beer to be delivered to your stateroom. Doing it that way the beers cost $5.50/beer. Is this what most beers cost at the bars? Would appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

I actually went on the carnival.com and printed menus for the drinks and costs....esentually if your going to drink 6 a day you will be spending the 50$ anyway...but beer is cheaper....in addition to the 49.95 a day they tack on the gratuity....so ours comes to like 54 a day. The days your at port Will you really drink that much....and the days your hungover from trying .... will you drink that much....I also am struggling with this....and yes...they have top shelf vodka

My biggest thing is, has anyone ordered a drink that has not been included in the cheers prgram?

They post menus with all the prices on the carnival Website

I think it all depends on your relationship with the server a couple dollars tip goes a long ways :D:eek:

Good point.....

[quote name='falkcor']that's not true unless something drastically changed, which i doubt. typically they will charge tax per drink while in port / regulated waters.

even if it were true or you don't want to pay the tax per drink, wait until the ship is in international waters and buy it then - no tax.[/QUOTE]
Gratuity not Taxes....15%...I
was confused too.

So can I get a bucket if I am at the pool??? Since 1 every 5 minutes I don't think I can???

[quote name='cruizinisthebest']OAML!!:p



I hear you. Not a beer drinker. I was thinking 15 of more what I like, which is cocktails. I would get Cheers if they offered it on the Sensation, but they don't. :([/QUOTE]
What about at port days?????
Just wondering if over all 7 days it is worth it?

I was planning to buy it....most beers on thier drink menu show 4.75 each and most drinks are under the 10$ but they just raised the price to 49.95 per day pp.....that does not include gratuity....I am upset because for a 7 day it was 37$ a day until they just changed it...at 400 pp per cruise (when you add in gratuity) I am rethinking this. Days your at port you won't be drinking 50$ a day most likely....I would have to drink 10 beers a day to make it make sense...and I doubt I will...both persons in the cabin have to purchase it...and who knows by the time we cruise it may go up again!!!

Very disapointed....it was a no brainer before but 12$ more pp ... Unless your a stone cold alcoholic...won't pay!

No Sodas do not count on your drink limit...soda is unlimited...I read the entire policy but am very upset that it went from 37.50 per day to 49.95 per day for 7 day cruises...it was less the longer you cruised. Now flat rate...not sure it's worth it.:mad:
