I just compared, no discount with senior and police "discount!" Unreal!

We have a family member sailing with us who is an ex-cop. If we book together, can we get the discount as well, even if we have two cabins?

Is the Dream's eastern itinerary (Key West, Nassau, Freeport and three sea days) worth it? I feel like it would be a more relaxed cruise than other eastern cruises.

There used to be a way to hold a stateroom for 24/48 hours. I can't find it, and am not ready to book yet. Anyone know how to do it?

We always book interior rooms, and since we always wake before the sun rises, it makes no difference to us that the room is dark. After years of working and rising at 4:30am, I have an internal alarm that goes off. I usually get up, get dressed, and go get the hubby and me some coffee. I bring it back to cabin for him. I know I could order room service, but I prefer to be up and walking around. If you are worried about no sunlight, turn your TV on before going to bed at night and set it to the Bridge channel. It will be dark. But as the sun rises, the light will brighten your cabin.

I have a similar internal clock. Something that seems super relaxing (and almost creepy) to me is walking around the ship very early in the morning while no one is awake.

The issues I have with cabins that far forward are if seas are rough and you’re prone to seasickness you will feel more motion. But more important to me is that the doors to the outside can slam violently when the ship is underway every time someone goes in and out due to the wind. I refused a cabin that was 3 away from one of those doors on deck 7 on a Conquest Class ship for that very reason.

 

While there might not be many people utilizing the “secret deck”, it would be my luck there would be and any sudden loud noise like that startles me awake and I can’t get back to sleep.

I didn’t think about the rocking. Is lido really worth it since it’s so far forward? What’s the furthest forward you would book? I’m not too concerned about doors slamming at night, we can sleep through pretty much anything.

I think I found my solution! I’m booking the Breeze, lido interior that is second from the “secret deck.” Anyone have experience with this type of location?

We had originally planned on booking an interior W/ Obstructed view, but took too long to decide. Now, all we have available are Interiors and OV's (which I don't want to book, just something unsettling to me being that low) in my price range. I know that some people swear they sleep better, but I don't want to sleep my vacation away. Should I book the interior or look for a different cruise?

All of Triumph's cruises after the dry dock are nowhere to be seen.

Not sure what it did, but I waited a bit and I could get passed that step. I can now fully complete a mock booking

Is anyone else having trouble booking on NCL? I'm trying to do mock bookings and every time, I get to the stateroom category selection part, and i get an error message saying "Sorry there was an error retrieving pricing for this sailing. Please try again."

An expanded wrap around lanai deck (kinda like pinnacle but on a smaller scale). I would love to see solo cabins, especially balcony solo cabins like the Celebrity Edge. I'd like more than two pools, just to give more options.

Do any/all of the Breeze's walkway view cabins have couches? Carnival's website doesn't shoe them, but I've seen pictures of them. Anyone know?

What is the best way to get from IAH to Galveston? We will fly in the day before, so the Carnival transfer won't work.

Best place to ask is the Gulf Coast Departures forum here: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=414

Thanks! I've been flipping through various forums and I thought I was there.

Do the hair dryers on ships have a cooling function? I rely on this for my hair.

We love bottled water too! We go through a lot but always recycle them. We don’t like the bottled spring water because most of them don’t filter the water and I personally don’t want to drink the water Bambi and Thumper just tinkled in. ;) The ships water is filtered and purified and tastes just like the good purified bottled water you buy at the supermarket. I’ve tried the ships water which is supposed to be purified but it doesn’t taste good to me. We are picky about our water though. Can’t stand the tap water just about anywhere and we’re addicted to the good purified drinking water. So if you like the purified filtered water then the ships water will be perfect for you. If you’re looking for unfiltered spring water then you might not like it. If you want it on different days then do separate orders to be delivered on different days.

We always recycle ours, too. I pretty much exclusively drink spring water (it tastes better to me).The only bottled water I absolutely hate is Niagara. Does Niagara make Carnival's water?

We had 2 on ours in Jan. Cabin 6465

 

Thanks! That doesn't look too crowded.

My family drinks A LOT of water. As a family of 4, we go through 4 cases of 28 20 oz bottles, or 2,240 ounces a week. Yes obviously, we will be preordering water. However, I don’t want to have 10 cases of water at the beginning of the week. Can I specify what day I want the water delivered?

Thanks!

Or save money, bring a sports bottle and fill up with free water from the boat.

Is the water any good from the ship? I am very particular about my water taste.

The environment is crying right now. Please use reusable bottles or cups.

I Always try, but we have a well at home. I guess you could call us "Water Snobs." I have a very particular taste for water.

how about 7 days on the Breeze?

Breeze will be gone in March, vista is there, but I don't want to go to Jamaica.

Yes, we had two loungers on our aft balcony #7442 on the Glory. It will be very tight, not much room to maneuver.

 

Enjoy your cruise!!

Do you have any pictures?
