Jeff, I am an avid "review reader" of yours, however I never usually comment. I was really thrilled to read your review of the Conquest as my Husband and I are sailing on her in October. This will mine and his first cruise, so we are excited! Thank you kindly, for a fantastic sneak peek!

My Husband and I wanted a cabin facing the front of the boat, and the only ones that were available were adjoining, and so we picked one.

Why should we not be able to have the room that we want because you 'need' it for your party?? If you are specific about what kind of room you want then book early. Sorry, not sorry.

I book the cabin I want. I do not care if it is the cabin you want.

This. [emoji122][emoji106]

Can anyone who's been on the island or Curacao, Grand Turk or Aruba advise me on where we could find a stand/restaurant/food truck that sells fresh coconut water out of the coconut? It's on my bucket list, and would love to be able to find somewhere.

Thanks in advance!

Question:

Is there a time limit/ time frame that you can access the internet with the packages? I feel like it's a silly question, and they probably wouldn't limit it but thought I'd ask. Also, how is the connection?

Thanks!

Where does FTTF appear?

 

Under Shore Excursions or somewhere else??

It's in with the shore excursions. Most likely under your home port.

I purchased FTTF last week for our October 2018 cruise.

I knew someone would know! I think the OP wants to go to Steakhouse because it's their anniversary the lst night. Not sure if they would want to go another time during the cruise. But that's something to remember!

You would be correct. Not too worried about being able to change the day, mainly the time.

Thanks for all of your responses!

IDK about that. But I DO know that you can make reservations on the CCL website. I believe there's a place for you to contact the reservation person at the steak house. You can always ask her before you commit yourself. Also take into account what time your sail away is in case you want to do any of those activities. Altho I don't think we have ever set sail at the posted time! What ship are you sailing?

We'll be sailing on the Conquest. Our scheduled sail away time is 4pm, so we will probably do a late dinner (8 or 8:30) to give us time to unpack and walk around the ship. I saw on the CCL website where you can make reservations but wanted to make sure we could make changes if we needed/wanted to, before I did.

If we make reservations and decide later on that we want to change the time or day, can we do that?

When you're seated, ask for extra menus. Then use them to build a fort around your table. Extra privacy! :cool:

Hey, good idea! It'll be just like when I took tests in middle school[emoji3]

Yes, you'll be seated by yourselves AND you get a free bottle of (cheap) wine or 50% off a decent bottle of wine if you dine there the first night of the cruise.

Yes to free wine!! [emoji485]

You could ask for a splash guard to have in place if the tables are too close, this offers extra privacy.

KIDDING!

Check out the upper floor available on some ships. Great seating around the rail overlooking the lower level. Great view and private.

What?! A splash guard? I'll make sure to remember to ask! [emoji6][emoji23]

I'm assuming your anniversary is not the lst night of your cruise. So just take a "tour" of the dining room sometime before the big night and make a notation of the tables you would prefer. Then when you check in with the hostess, ask if those tables are available. If you really have your heart set on a certain table, I would get there as soon as the doors open and be one of the lst on line. Have a great cruise and Happy Anniversary! :hearteyes:

Yes, our anniversary IS the first night of our cruise. We've been talking about possibly doing the steakhouse. Because you pick a time for that, do you sit by yourselves?

That's the way we've done it for the past 10-12 years. They usually publish the time and place for Maitre D' requests in the Fun Times (or whatever they call it).

Ooh, good to know! Thanks!

To be totally fair, the Anytime Dining table for 2 is 6 inches away from another table for 2....so not very "private."

Oh. Well, I guess the idea of being private is nice, lol! [emoji12]

Do you have Anytime Dining? DH and I always get a table for 2 when we arrive at the dining room each evening. Before they had Anytime Dining, we just asked the maitre'd the first night for a table for 2 for the whole cruise and always got it. We have been Platinum members for many years, so maybe that made a difference.

Yes, we have anytime dining. So does that mean we will most likely get a table for 2? Thanks for your response!

I've read in previous threads about people who have emailed the maitre d' requesting a specific table, i.e.; table by a window, two person table, etc. Has anyone done this, and how do you get the email for the maitre d'? The first night of our cruise will be mine and my DH's anniversary and we would like to dine privately if possible.

Thanks in advance!

Patti passes the Fun Shops. They won’t open until after we sail…..

 

This is the Lobby Bar on Deck 2…….

 

To be continued…….

Am I seeing this right?? 4 bottles of Bacardi for $40??

Not sure why anyone uses either unless there is a discount. I use gift cards because I buy them 10% off, otherwise I just use a credit card. Is there some benefit to cruise cash that I'm missing?

Im assuming with cruise cash, I can purchase it online (on Carnivals website) with a debit card and wouldn't be subjected to any 'holds' by Carnival as opposed to using my debit card to load my S&S card on the ship on embarkation day.

Experienced cruisers, is that correct?

Sent from my iPhone using Forums

What's your opinion on either? Trying to decide if we want to purchase gift cards and fund our S&S card on embarkation or purchase cruise cash through the website. Thanks!! [emoji846]

Has anyone purchased the Cruise Cash Bar on Carnivals website? If so, how did it work out for you?

I wish I had known to get WCMC the first night (and every night after ;) ) instead of discovering how great it was on the last night!

WCMC?

Sent from my iPhone using Forums

Depends...if it's only a couple bucks...I use cash. If it's a major purchase, a credit card, as it offers protections!

No major purchases. Just small souvenirs, knick knacks, etc.
