Are there other venues other than the buffets open for lunch on embarkation day?

I know there will be 8 ships in Miami when we leave.  Just wondering if traffic is going to be really bad.  How about port parking?  Thank you.

Yes. My husband has to use a wedge pillow, we just jam it in his checked bag. You can carry it on as well.

We have done the Divina twice and have the seaside booked for Christmas.  We have done over 30 cruises (Royal, Carnival, Holland and Celebrity).  

You will hear so many languages and there are some obvious regional differences with the passengers, but nothing that can’t be overlooked.  

We find the food great, how can homemade pasta and bread go wrong?

I have found customer service being quite good though it did take a bit more conversation to get my concern understood. But it was and completely corrected.

Never have had an issue with the room stewards. They tend to be unseen more than visible, but everything is taken care of.

 If you have one with another line, take advantage of their status match. I can’t explain why, but we have booked inside or ocean view guarantee and ended up with balconies. Even just happened for the Christmas cruise for our room and my daughter and hubbys room.  I have no explanation for it, but truly appreciate it.

We booked an inside guarantee on the Divina for 1-10-19 less than 2 weeks ago. Got our room assignment and it is a balcony. We could not be more excited.

The Divina was our 32nd cruise. We loved the ship, the entertainment, the crew especially the captain whom we saw everywhere.

Our BOGO60 off discount was removed Monday after already paying the cruise in full the week prior. It was corrected via the phone, but that was pretty disturbing to see.

Im in the US and I just followed the instructions in the email you get. But you have 30 days from booking to do it.

Please let us know how you liked it. We are going in May, our first MSC experience.

Thank you so much. So much great information. We leave in a month.

We had our refund in less than 2 weeks as a check.

Are there any issues getting to the port early to avoid all of the Mardi Gras parades and such? We can sit in our car for hours if we need to. We cancelled the bad weather cruise last month and are getting on this time if it kills us. Thanks in advance.

Should be a hoot with our party of 10.

We are with you Colorado, don't quite know where to go after we get kicked out of the hotel.

I also just take my extension cord, I think about 15 feet. If you get some strong magnetic hooks you can sometimes have the cord hang from the hooks on the wall as they are metal. It doesn't look pretty but you have nothing to trip over.

I bring a box of the small hazelnut creamers every cruise. I even keep them in my checked bag. Never had any issue. Walmart has the boxes of 25 or so pretty reasonably.

Here comes either a price increase or discontinued service to pay for em. Well, I take that back, they are already using their customers as entertainment and expanding it...

I have seen someone carry on a full size box fan without question. We take a more reasonable sized one and have it on in my carry on bag with my Cpap and extension cord. Have never had a problem.

After 20 Carnival cruises booked through Ta's, I changed to booking through Carnival directly and received my first ever upgrade offer via email. It was from inside to an oceanview for a total cabin cost of $50. I chose the room (deck 7 mid ship, under the dining room not the galley) and paid the upgrade charge online. Extremely easy to do and we are thrilled to have been found by the upgrade fairies. This is for the Fantasy in January, seemed far out but jumped on it. :D

My son in law was quite simple. He took my daughter to the highest point on the ship at sunset and got down on his knee.

I often get ice water from the bar no issues. I only drink wTer so I order cases as well.

Navigator Jan 2018. Trying a promenade room to celebrate my 60th birthday. Going to my favorite ABC islands.

Thank you so much

We are coming from Woodbridge, NJ. Would taking 440 or the Turnpike be the best way with all of the comments on construction I can't tell what is best. Coming in Sunday.

I have the directions from exit 14a but don't know which way has less construction.

We will be leaving early, 9:30 or so to get there.

Is there road construction going from exit 14 off the Turnpike? Would it be easier to come up 440 from the south? We will be staying in Woodbridge, Nj, so either way will work but traffic brings out the worst in me.
