Thank you sensesfail3.

sensesfail3, just curious if you have ever done the dolphins at Chank and if so which you prefer and why? We will be there in October with the grandkids and want them to do the dolphin encounter. Just not sure which would be better. They are 9 and 6, of course their mom will do it with them. :)

I don't know maybe it's just me, but if I pick early dining and it is at 6 that is when I am expected to be there and I will. If I do not think I can make it at 6 for a week then I will choose YTD. That is why they offer 3 different timed dining options. For Johnny on the Spot folks and Happy go Lucky folks. Me personally, I think it is totally rude to show up 10-20 minutes late.

Thank you. Figure they will only do the dolphin encounter.

We (kids will be 6 and 8)will be visiting Costa Maya and Cozumel. I want to take them to interact with the dolphins but not sure which place/port would be the best. Anyone that has done both please give me your advice.

thanks!:) I also posted this on the Costa Maya board.

You might can check the microtel in saraland. They have a shuttle that will take you to the port and pick you up with their park and cruise deal. So much easier than trying to get through that mess. However if the ports would abide by the arrival times it wouldn't be like that.

We left from there last Jan and again in Oct. They were not going by arrival appts. Yes traffic was crazy.

Fantasy has combination.

interested in this also!

On our first American Menu cruise we went on, as soon as we sat down my 8 year old grand-daughter said "Where are the tablecloths?" LOL

Thanks for the review, really enjoyed reading it! I will be on the Dream but not until October 2018. So I have a whole year to read everything and "Dream". LOL

Trust me, go with the park and cruise option. So much easier than having to deal with all the mess. And Mobile doesn't care or check your arrival appt time. So do the park and cruise, get shuttled in and go to the FTTF entrance on the left side and bypass the lines. :)

Oh my, I hadn't heard that!

It's 50% back off the cruise fare for this cruise, port fees back as OBC and 50% off a future cruise. HECK YEAH!!

We were almost half way there went we got the message about Sunday. Now we don't know what to do today. Some are saying we will leave Monday but Carnival hasn't said that yet. We sure don't what to drive into the hurricane that's for sure.

We are driving down to Mobile tomorrow. I guess we will wait and see. :)

I would think that you should be safe for the 12th sailing

We are on the Fantasy Saturday...or suppose to be.

sorry didn't see "here comes nate" thread.

Do you think Nate will keep us from leaving Saturday from Mobile?:eek:

Thanks everyone!:)

Thanks easyboy :)

thank you for the quick response. :)

We have never used the snooze and cruise package, always just drove to the port. This time we are using it. Is it customary to tip the hotel shuttle driver and how much? Thanks for your help!
