this is great!  thanks for all the updates.  9 of us from Terre Haute will be on this cruise in March.  Looking forward to your updates.

i am looking for a copy of the recent fun times for the Dream since Chris Williams has returned as cruise director (feb 11th I believe). I found some ones from this summer with a different CD. Anyone have any?

Your card will have a hole punched in it, or you can use the plastic sleeve. Me, I prefer to use the hole, the sleeve is a pain in the butt. I also have a lanyard with an extension on it (you know, you pull it out, when you let go the card retracts) that way I don't have to bend down or take my lanyard off to open my cabin door.

Thank you! Exactly what I was hoping for.

No. It's credit card sized. Just buy one with a hook thing on the end. You can go to the casino and get a plastic phone cord coil type one for free in the evening but I don't like those.

Do the S&S cards have a hole punched in the corner to hook it on to a lanyard or will it need to go in a plastic sleeve attached to the lanyard?

Sweet! Love to have the final four games Saturday night on the big screen poolside.

Thanks

Bill

will be on the Dream March 25th through April 1st. We hope that there will be a place on the ship we can watch some of the games, at least the final 4 games on March 31st.

Anyone have any knowledge about this??

Okay. I'll be the voice of dissent. If I were you, I'd make arrangements for your wife's spa treatments at home prior to her cruise at the spa she likes to frequent at home. IMO, she will have a better spa experience at a better price prior to leaving for her cruise, and it will help her feel refreshed and ready for her cruise. A massage and mani/pedi would be great. I say that because Carnival's spas spend too much of the arranged time on marketing their products which detracts from the spa experience.

 

Just my humble opinion.

 

How thoughtful of you to want to treat your wife! She's a lucky girl. :-) Have a great cruise!

Hadn’t thought of that. That’s a good idea. More options to consider.

Letting the wife pick what she wants is always a good idea, whether it's a spa treatment, restaurant to go to, entertainment venue, type of furniture for the house, color of paint at home, etc. etc. etc.

But if she has mentioned a preference, sometimes there are pre-sale discounts that equal the port day offers. If so, the presale discount can get you a sea day appointment time.

Well said. We have been married for for 25 years so I’ve learned. Lol. But I’m also an anal planner.

We have never pre-booked. My wife and daughter usually wait until port days or near the end of the cruise when they offer better deals.

Perfect. So getting her “cruise cash” letting her tour the spa and pick what she wants might be the best bet.

will be on the dream this spring. Looking to get my wife a spa treatment of some sort for her birthday. My question is should I pre book now or wait until we get on the ship? I don’t want to get her cruise cash and wait until we get there only to find it’s hard to book because so many others did it before arrival. Anyone have experience or knowledge that would help?

thank you for the responses. I didn't intend to start a discussion on the morals of it. We are just looking at vacation options. My daughter is 17 and will be 1 week removed from being 18 like most of her friends will be. For something like the comedy club or other areas that say 18+ was my main concern. And many places we travel (Florida) for example) will allow kids in the bars but they obviously cant drink alcohol. Just trying to get a feeling of how strict they might be.

I appreciate the response and sounds like should have a problem.

So looking to book the Carnival Dream for Spring break. This would be a small group of adults with their graduating kids. Some of the kids are 18 and some will still be 17. I am curious as to how strict they will be on allowing the 17 year olds into the club that says 18+, and how strict they will be in allowing them into the bar (21+) not to drink but just to hang with the adults and enjoy the music and dancing.

anyone have any experience with this?

thanks in advance

Bill
