Carnival ridiculous overpriced merchanise
Cruisesfun65 replied to Jkfg's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
On the Celebration there is a green Chanel bag (pre loved) for 2K. That same bag has been there since the inaugural sailing (I've been on the Celebration 6x). Together with its LV brothers and sisters and a VERY bored store attendant in a prime location that's such a waste of real estate. Even an additional coffee shop there would generate more income for Carnival. -
Added gratuities to Bonsai Teppanyaki
Cruisesfun65 replied to Cruisesfun65's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I was on the Celebration 4 weeks ago and this was not the case. Hence my post. So this must be new. -
Up until last month all specialty dining reservations included gratuities. Yesterday I went to book Bonsai Teppanyaki and gratuities were added. $38 per person became $44+. I'm not complaining about $6 but about the fact that these charges are silently being added to more and more areas. Not informing the guests at all.

Mardi Gras Upgrade email.... WWYD?
Cruisesfun65 replied to Clearwater's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
They might call it that on the Mardi Gras, but it's TINY. Not at all comparable with the T-pools on the Dream class ships. -
Mardi Gras Upgrade email.... WWYD?
Cruisesfun65 replied to Clearwater's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I would move from any deck 9 balcony or suite. Most of these cabins look down to a White overhang, so you can only see the ocean if you look straight. -
Review of Carnival Venezia Compared to Royal Caribbean
Cruisesfun65 replied to Bound4Bermuda's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Now, please say what you REALLY mean by this. -
On the Mardi Gras and Celebration there are definitely separate lines for drinks and food.

Would you mind sharing the location of this ice-cream place?

Sugar Free Drink Options
Cruisesfun65 replied to ukittenmerightmeow's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I bring sugar free water enhancers and my favorite sugar free sodas. Not many options onboard. -
Search for hotels in Miami Springs. They all offer free airport shuttle service.

You need to take an Uber or Lyft to the 2nd street office of Avis/Budget. Taxi drivers will get mad about the short distance. On turn around day, it's a mad house at that location. I'd rather just go to the airport. There is a Sixt office in the Intercontinental hotel and Enterprise at the Doubletree Grand Biscayne Bay If you're staying there, this would be convenient.

Intercontinental Downtown Miami or Hampton Inn Brickell
Cruisesfun65 replied to Cruisesfun65's topic in Florida Departures
Booking through AA would give us a great rate plus lots of bonus AA miles. But the majority leans towards the Hampton Inn, so Brickell it is!! Thanks everyone! -
Question for the Travel Agents: Group Booking
Cruisesfun65 replied to bugeater2's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
1. The agent could and should have booked the group from the get go in GoCCL. No need to call Carnival for that. 2. Once she booked everyone individually (FIT bookings), Carnival cannot transfer these into a group. They would need to be canceled and rebooked. 3. Not all promotions qualify to be berthed into a group. 4. You only get a free berth with a minimum of 8 cabins. But a minimum of 5 cabins will get you group amenities such as OBC, etc. Sorry to say, this doesn't sound like the most qualified advisor. -
Donkey promoted or is this old news?

What happens to Mike Peck, then? -
Lunch/shopping near EB Hotel, Miami Springs area
Cruisesfun65 replied to Muckyduckway's topic in Florida Departures
I've stayed there 9 times and each time I enter the lobby I get instantly happy. The hotel smells so good. 🙂 The hotel is quiet, rooms are clean and spacious with a phenomenal bathroom. Great food at Miranda restaurant and a very relaxing way to start off your cruise vacation. You can grab a cab or Uber to the Walmart Superstore which isn't too far. -
Lunch/shopping near EB Hotel, Miami Springs area
Cruisesfun65 replied to Muckyduckway's topic in Florida Departures
While EB is a fantastic hotel, there is absolutely nothing within walking distance. Only a Burger King, Pollo Tropical and a store selling office supplied. -
RAMADA MIAMI SPRINGS NEAR AIRPORT??
Cruisesfun65 replied to layteacher's topic in Florida Departures
For a very late flight prior to cruise date I would do it if I was on a tight budget. The motel doesn't get many good reviews, there are better properties in that area. -
The simple answer is no.
-
The only hotel offering both free shuttles is Comfort Suites Miami Airport North in Miami Springs.
