If u are parking at port, ticket check, then drive to next stop to drop of luggage, then drive to parking hangars, then walk to shuttle bus to terminal. It seems like a lot but it is very organized. Tons of people to direct where to go. Make sure u listen and only bring carry on baggage to get on shuttle like they told u at luggage drop off. Some people tried to bring big suitcase on the shuttle and they surely fussed at them and didn' let them bring it on. Back to luggage drop off...lol:p

don't try to smuggle bottles, it won't work. the "naughty room" line was crazy long! good thing was, our liquor was in rum runner flasks in our big suitcase which was delivered with no problems. They pulled our little suitcase with the soda and water in it...no liquor there :D

Can someone tell me how the entertainment was on this cruise? we are leaving Friday 4/13.

thanks

The smoke issue would be bad enough for me to deal with, but the fact that I can't enjoy my backyard or sleep at night because of all my neighbor's barking dogs makes me look forward to a get away from that frustration on a cruise.

And then find out you could have a barking dog in the cabin next door ...horrifying!

Has anyone gone to the Belize Zoo on their own or through a private tour company rather than through the ship? If so, what did you do (or whom did you book)? how was the experience and what was the cost? Just wondering if there'd be a cheaper yet reliable option for going to the zoo than the ship's $59 excursion (which does include a city tour). We wouldn't mind seeing the city, but don't have to. If anyone has gone on the "Belize Zoo and Monkey Bay" tour through Coral Breeze, could you please provide review? Thanks!!

I saw a recommendation for Nacho and Cindy in Belize. I finally found them and have e-mailed them about a private tour sort of like the Victor Bodden tour in Roatan.

I will post more info once I hear back.

Zimmomiller, you are too funny!!

I got the Intercontinental for $142 + tax for 3/27/09 one night pre-cruise on easyclicktravel.com

I think it's a great deal because rooms run $400+ and many hotels that weekend are already booked up. Spring break I guess.

It is the 5 star "unnamed" hotel.

Has anyone stayed in one of these obstructed oceanview cabins?

On the deckplan these cabins are in the opposite direction from a regular cabin. Meaning the longer side of the cabin is against the hull of the ship versus the longer side of the cabin being the wall attached to the cabin next door. HOpe this makes sense.

I am just curious about the cabin layout on these cabins.

Thanks

Carnival leaves from Charleston twice a year. Once in the Spring and once in the fall I think. My dad is going May 29th on the Carnival Victory. They say the ship will fill up fast since a lot of people from the northern states will drive down.

I have also sailed out of Jacksonvill, FL on Carnival. That should not be such a long drive for you either.

Do they have this on the Celebration also? It is one of their older ships. Do you have to request the feather pillow?
