Any one know what the earliest arrival window is for non priority cruisers?

Keep checking on the excursions you like. Carnival may add tickets or open up spots if people cancel.

Yes. If another person within the same booking# logs on, it auto logs the other off.

No worries. I joined AARP but the rewards portion wasn't available so I cancelled it. Even with Newegg, I have to use a US billing/ shipping address but it works.

Yes but unfortunately non-residents of the US cannot purchase them.

How often do these go on sale? I picked up one of these and a $300 one a few weeks ago.

We sailed on the Mardi Gras in Dec '22 coming back on the Christmas Eve day. It was a busy ship but my favourite so far. Zero complaints about it.

Embarkation day--Funships, wine at dinner, beer Mornings--coffee Midday--craft beer, mixed drinks Dinner--wine Evening--change it up

Digital sent by email.

I live in Canada and just bought one using a US address that I knew of. My Canadian credit card was authorized even with the US address. Card was delivered by email about 5 minutes after. I used it to reduce our balance without any issue. Thanks to the OP for the info!

Still good and still very popular while on board.

How is the groups department contacted? We have a group of 20 sailing in December and want to arrange MDR seating.

Did you pick it or did Carnival assign it?

Great photo!! Can you tell the ship has been freshened up? I'm 301 days away from it.

Awareness---the AARP rewards system is not available to residents outside the US.

OP here---Thanks for your tips everyone. Background.......8 day Carnival cruise in a group of 20 friends/ family with teens/ young adults with Cheers pkg.

Despite the obvious of not drinking alcohol, does anyone have any experience or opinions about supplements to prevent or lessen the impacts of hangovers while cruising? eg Liquid IV, Bytox, etc.

Has anyone ever snorkelled here before? If so, opinion?

I've sailed the Vista and Breeze twice (sister ship) before. We love the Breeze but it always comes to itinerary for us personally. We are sailing on the Vista for the 2nd time this coming December. Tough choice for you if ports aren't an issue. Here's a review of the Vista from October: Better late than never photo dump, Vista Thanksgiving '21 - Carnival Cruise Lines - Cruise Critic Community My cousin sailed on the Vista over New Years and said that the MDR food and service wasn't great and they were running out of food and drinks but it was the last cruise before dry dock so that might have impacted everything. The Vista is in dry dock right now and this is the unofficial info on it: Update As Of 1/28/2024: The Carnival Vista's 2024 dry-dock is now taking place in Cadiz, Spain. The time out of service is scheduled to end 2/14/2024. It is expected the Carnival Vista's Skybox Sports Bar is being converted to the Heroes Tribute Bar & Lounge as Carnival put the Heroes Tribute Bar & Lounge as coming soon to the Carnival Vista online. Carnival has not confirmed the red, white, & blue hull livery is being added to the Carnival Vista, but based on recent exterior pictures I have seen it does appear the hull livery is being added. The full of scope of work has not been released by Carnival. Some things to compare between the Vista and Magic: -Vista has Skyride and the Imax although there are rumours the latter is being removed -Magic has a far better theatre -Vista has more specialty restaurants Regardless of what you choose, the beverages will be cold!

Keep in mind too that the wifi can be shared in a cabin but not at the same time. It requires a login which auto logs the other person off.

Yes, on the app and you can also cancel the reservation that way as well if needed. You reserve an arrival window but be prepared to wait a bit as well if later in the day. The line will queue up on the platform. It's a great ride! If you're adventurous, keep the throttle down all the way and hit the boost button on the hills. Have fun.

I asked John Heald about the Vista last week. This was his response.
