  1. We are going on the Freedom on Oct. 1. to the same ports.

     

    Cozumel - Chankanaab all inclusive beach day. We chose this because it's not just a beach. Sea lion show and plenty of other things to do there. Xcaret is a very long, wet boat ride to get there, but it is amazing. We didn't want the long boat ride. My bro and his wife are doing the Mexican Fiesta Eat, Drink, and Dance. Looks pretty neat.

     

    Belize - Zoo and City tour. Not as lame as you would think. Very nice zoo and informative tour of the city.

     

    Roatan - Pirates, Birds, and Monkeys. My bro did this in Feb. and said it was a blast. Where else can you hold and pet a monkey and tropical birds? A nice little tour.

     

    Just some ideas for you that don't have to include water but it is available.

    Have FUN!!

  2. Here's an idea. How about Carnival LOWERING the price of it's bottles of wine to say, triple the cost elsewhere, to get more people to buy it on board. When they're asking about 5 TIMES the going price for a bottle of moscato, I will continue to bring my own on board and chill it in my cabin and carry it to the DR. But if they lower the price, they won't have enough room to store the extra bottles that will be purchased by passengers. Now I see their pricing strategy. Either way, we will have wine at dinner somehow.

  3. I was told this morning by a Carnival staff member that there is NO corkage fee if the bottle has a twist off cap. I was also told that the Freedom has mini fridges in ALL cabins. We can keep our wine cold and take it to dinner every night from our cabins. Sometimes you just have to ask.

  4. We have decided to use some of everyone's ideas. We will bring a collapsible cooler with us to our cabin and ask the steward to keep ice in it for us. The particular moscato that we like comes with a screw-on top. We will only have 1 glass of wine each at dinner as an appetizer . We do not drink wine with dinner. After the 8 bottles are gone, we will then purchase more as needed. It is not as much work as you think if everybody carries 1 bottle on and brings it to dinner on their night. Again, thanks for all the advice!

  5. We did the math and it would be cheaper to pay a corking fee than buy the over-priced, SAME bottles of wine from the wine list on board. None of us are in a states rooms and do not have a frig in our cabins.A 5 bottle package of wine that we like in the DR cost $153.00. We can purchase 8 bottles of the SAME wine, offered in the DR at $33 a bottle, for $13 each, locally. Pay the $15/ bottle corking fee for the 8 bottles and pay $224 total. For $71 more, we get 3 more bottles. In the DR, those 3 bottles would cost $99.00. Therefor, we save $28.00. Is this possible to do without causing problems?

  6. I have 3 bookings in my cruise management listings that have the early dining time of 6:00 p.m. I added another booking to my cruise management this evening and their dining time of 6:00 is on the wait list. Will Carnival give them the same dining time as the rest of us so we can all eat together or can it affect the other 3 dining times already approved? The first 3 bookings don't want the late dining time. Is there anything I can do to solve this problem? PLEASE HELP!!
