Its been a while since I cruised...and I'm going next week...How do you know where to go for Muster? Do they tell you at check in? Does everyone have the same spot? Thanks in advance...and have an awesome cruise!

They do....but a lot of the smaller ones have closed recently...and will continue to do so!

As a local in the area I have watched the people of Bar Harbor doing stuff like this for years...Most of the people who complain are "seasonal home owners". The others are the people who work in government who want to make as much $$$ as they can the easiest way possible. They have decided that they want their tourists to be the ones who pay for parking, stay overnight, etc, not the ones who are only in town for a few hours and don't spend as much money. Bar Harbor is a beautiful place, and they want to keep it that way by not allowing so many people to destroy their views....This is going to hurt the small mom and pop places more than anything.

I think it just got fixed...try again and see if it works!

They are having a problem, and Carnival has been notified and they are working on it. Just keep trying!

I had no idea that you could do this! Thanks for posting!

Thank you...I will definitely do that!

This is such a great review. Can't wait to read the rest!

Thanks for this great review! I know it is only n the menu on 2 ships...but hopefully I can convince a bartender to make it for me on the Pride next month!

Thank you so much!!!

I am going to PIE airport...I have looked into lyft/uber and shuttles...we need to supply a carseat to use any of those services

I'm going on Carnival. Yes a 1 way rental. I have looked into uber/lyft and shuttles...but without my grandsons carseat, no one will take us from the cruise port to the airport. The only other option that we have is to bring the carseat with us and just store it in our cabin all week.

What is the closest car rental place to the Tampa cruise port? We will need to do a 1 way rental Tampa/St Pete airport. Thanks in advance

Thank you very much!

I thought I read somewhere that some of the ships have a game/card room...or at least some available to take back to your room...Is this true on the pride?

Thank you for recommendations. I am looking from other cruisers for an app that they have used in ports...whether for a specific walking tour of the port areas, or a maps of the area so that we can plan our own tour....I have looked on google, but wanted to get a recommendation from other like minded cruisers who have done similar things. I have never been to a couple of the ports on our cruise, and was just looking for something that other cruisers have used in ports.

For Christmas, I would like to give my daughter, son in law, and grandson an excursion. Grandson will be 15 months. Looking at Carnivals list of excursions, there is a "Calypso Train" tour of the city that they might like. Does anyone know of a similar excursion that is not through the ship? Below is a description of what the Carnival one offers. " DETAILS Step aboard the charming Calypso Train and explore Belize City by open-air trolley train. See the Baron Bliss Lighthouse, named after the man buried in a tomb near its base. You'll witness stark contrasts, from affluent residential districts to the working class neighborhoods. Continue downtown where you'll pass St. John's Cathedral, Central America's first Anglican church, originally built in 1812. St. John’s Cathedral is also known as one of Belize's oldest surviving buildings. Then cross over the iconic Swing Bridge, the only manually operated bridge of its kind in the world. Your return route takes you pass Memorial Park, which honors the fallen soldiers of World War I, in route to the Tourism Village pier side where you can enjoy free time shopping for local handcrafts and souvenirs. Thanks in advance for your help!

Need advise on good apps to download for walking tours/maps etc. in the ports. What do you use?

Good Morning. We are flying back home mid afternoon on the day we get back to port. What is the best way to get to St. Pete Airport from the Tampa cruise port 7 people including 1 infant. Does any shuttle offer carseats? Thanks in advance!

Wow! Rude much?

Thank you all for your replies...I hope we get to see it...We have early dining...so might have to make a quick run outside for pix!

Prices are rising everywhere...and there is no end in site. Just take a refillable water bottle and go fill it up for free...problem solved.

Where will you be cruising out of? You should look up that port...and see which ships sail from there...

I love the stuff I got at Los Cincos Sol!

We are cruising out of Tampa in January....From what I understand Tampa wasn't hit and everything is fine there.
