Just received my email, $200 total to jump from Ocean View (2N-deck 3) to Full view balcony (deck 6-7-8).  Leaving March 15 and figure temps for the first 2 days and last 2 days wont allow for sitting out. Thoughts appreciated.

How much are the pre-set virgin drinks at the bionic bar

Dry is important, wet people,clothes, creates slippery floors for us old timers.

Sailing March 15, 2019, which app do I download and what are the main features?

Would take a shot and save $987, beside how much time do you really spend in your cabin, unless your a newly wed.

Agree Key would be waste of money.  Usually no problem finding seats for shows and don't know what else you would use if for. Save the money and applied to your next cruise.

I know their are always 2+ at the Windjammer, what other decks have machines?  Thanks in advance

Yes, RCCL gives you free soda for life once you buy the cup and soda package for one cruise. 

Not sure this is a correct statement.  

Hate new site.  How do I pull post related only to the Athem?  Thanking you in advance

Dr E on the Pride

Easy On and Easy Off

Cabin Deck 1 - King Bed, Sofa which I assume converted to bed, chair, small table, dress/mirror with pull on bench. Good closet & drawer space, suit cases fit under bed, small fridge & safe, typical ship bathroom. Good size since we only S.S.S.S in the room anyway. S.S.S.S. would be sleep-shower-shave and guess the last one.

Comedy Club - Very funny have both regular and pg 18 shows

Cruise Director/Asst. Dr E and Benny best we have every had. They did what 5-6 people did on RC, but 100% better. They made this the BEST our of are previous 5 cruise, no of which were on Carnival

Casino - Nice size but to smokey

Entertainment - Real good, not the corny stuff like we saw on RC Grandeur last month.

Lots & Lots of places to sit and relax

And of course Sell-Sell-Sell, don't think the spa was very busy, because they were always in the hallway in front of their spa.

FOOD Main Dining Room

Breakfast once - Steak & eggs real good, wife had eggs benedict would order again.

Didn't do lunch

Dinner - I'am not a gourmet type, but we did dinner 4 times, only bad meal was a tough cut of prime rib. Could have had a few more choices on main course and deserts.

BUFFET -BREAKFAST normal stuff, eggs, bacon, pancakes-waffles, etc. My only complaint was regular line moved from right to left, but the omelette line moved from left to right, which means they would meet. So you had people going both ways, and the condiments were behind the people waiting for omelettes. Coffee,juice was self serve in the middle of buffet area, lots of people trying to balance a plate while pouring juice or coffee. RC already had all juice pre poured so it was just grab and go.

LUNCH - good selection or you could go to GUYS for burgers, SANDWICH SHOP for a good selection of made to order sandwiches or chinese which was hit or miss.

DINNER - A lot of the same that was in main dining room, but set up was slow moving because the guy carving the meat was also serving items that were at the rear of the buffet which you could't reach, so he had to stop carving, serve and sometimes replace empty items then go back and carve again.(problem solved if you 2-3 working the buffet) First three nights I was told he cut portions so small people had to say more-more-more. One guy said "you think he was paying for it" We ate there a few days and it seemed to get better. Deserts set up more free flowing and I thought were much better than RC.

Forgot 24hr Pizza - wife said white was good other complain others were a bit greasy.

And Yea and the self service ice cream in dishes or cone was a big hit and Even Worked All The Time.(can you hear me RC)

WE HAD A GREAT 7 DAYS, crew was great and other guests even better.

Opps one thing i forgot, please place hand sanitizers where people can see and use them, even better have someone dispensing as you walk into dinner areas. RC does this the right way.

In ending, YES I WILL BOOK ANOTHER CARNIVAL CRUISE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

No there are these 5 pink cottages next to Jack’s Shack. They look like a hotel or timeshare. We got our chairs from a lady standing on the beach.

Hi do you remember what she charged for chairs/umbrella? Thanks

Well we didn't make it. As mentioned about, visa could be an issue. After talking with NCL, I got a no, maybe and not sure, you could check when you board. From what I read you can't board without a visa and why would you want to go to Cuba and stay on board.

Just got a week off starting Sat 15. I know the Pros (Cruise-booze-food-fun) but what about the weather issues? Will be flying out of Phila either Saturday or Sunday (5pm) to Miami. Everyone's thoughts appreciated.

I noticed you can book a cruise thru a CC travel agent.(Find a cruise) Can these be mentioned, and if so has anyone used any of them.

Oh that’s right! Dad in the hallway with the wheelchair.

 

You were right next to the centrum? How was the noise with the door open and closed?

Noise was not an issue for us. Would book again, nice to be 5 steps to centrum and 15-20 to MDR

We were on the same cruise, room 4074 and did see you and your dad in the hallway a few times. Completely agree with your review. We actually felt the Windjammer had more of a selection for dinner then the MD, except for the apps, they also have cold soups. Deserts were pretty to look at, but not that tasty.

Looking to book on the Anthem March-April-May 2019. What weeks should I stay away from to avoid most of spring break.

Walmart $7.99 2 years old and still ticking on same battery. All I need to know is what time it is.

Seven passengers is the maximum in a taxi.

 

You could do a minibus island tour. Minibuses have capacity for over seven passengers.

We just did minibus 5hr island tour.Good tour saw all the sights. But WARNING, seats are very small and tight. I'am 6'3 and it would have been torture, but lucky for me the back of the bus was empty, so i could stretch. Also if you weigh more the 180, seats will be very cramped, worse than airlines.

Were they buying on the first day, or were they waiting a day or two, maybe hedging their bets and costs that way?

It appeared buying on the first day, I didn't see any discounts offered, and a lot seems dumbfounded about the packages.

nachos, pizza, cookies, other deserts, some sandwiches left over, but they will toast them.

Just off Grandeur, was surprised how many people were paying full price on board.

Yes last full day of the cruise. Just go to guest services and they will cash you out.

just back from cruise, thanks to all for directions. Took 83 to 695 outside loop to 95 to exit 55, was a breeze on a Saturday morning. a little slower on Thur until I hit 83
