    Carnival price drops keep happening regularly.

    At how large a price drop ( in dollar terms and/or percentage terms), should you phone your travel agent to reprice your Cruise ?

     

     

    I do it Every Time!  Just make sure the offers you booked with are the same or better!

    Everyone we’ve talked to seems perfectly happy to be going to San Juan. We’ve got food, booze and working toilets. Sail on.... 

    Great attitudes will help make this bearable, and , Personally, I like San Juan.

    I had something weird happen yesterday.  I made my final payment at the beginning of Dec.  I happened to log on to my account yesterday and it said make your final payment.  I clicked and it said there was .02 due.  I pulled out my original booking and what I paid and it all equaled 0.  Paid in full.   It doesn't look like the fare was increased so I have no idea were the .02 came from.  I was on hold forever and gave up and made the payment.   Anyone else have this happen? 

    Yep - exactly the same thing - I also just paid the 2 cents...

  4. While on the Escape a few years back, we encountered various photo stations where you could take a pic and e-mail it back to family and friends. They were located throughout the ship. Does anyone know if the Epic has such photo stations available? Thanks for your input.

    Does anyone know??? We were on the Escape a few years ago also and this was fun!

  5. Since no one else has yet asked, I will: what are some of the "Cruise Useful" items you've shared?

    Last year we shared funny things like ear plugs, poo pouri, etc but also the usual sunblock, chapstick, snacks, cologne, ...

    We also had matching tshirts, and small backpacks. All of this was exchanged at a pre-cruise party with games and dinner. Just a small way to add to vacation fun!

  6. So happy to find this thread of kindred Type A planners!! We have a cruise with 10 people going on RCCL Allure OTS March 31, 2019 and the planning is going well. I am the family travel agent, like many of you, and this cruise will be a bit different as we have 2 sets of parents and one set of uncle/aunt (all 60's-70's to 80), my SIL and her hubby ( 50-58) and my DH and myself (47 each). I feel like I need to spend a bit more time "watching over" my parents to make sure they are enjoying themselves and doing fun stuff, while the others have cruised with us numerous times so they can do what they want. Hopefully it will all work out so that they don't get lost or feel overwhelmed. I am planning group excursions in Nassau and Costa Maya, so I have to also take into account the physical condition of the older folks, which varies. It's too early to book flights, but I will take care of that when the time comes, and ensure everyone meets up at same hotel the day before, etc. Half the time I think I am alwasy the one most excited for the trip! I was thinking about making little goodie bags for everyone, or door decorations, but am torn as to whether they would care or not. Now, for my parents, they are celebrating their 50th anniversary, so I will be decorating their room and doing some other special things for them throughout the trip, but I don't know if the others would appreciate the time/effort I would spend on doing something cute, so I don't know if I want to bother. Has anyone made up little cruise themed goodie bags/gifts for their cruise mates?

    we actually have a Pre Cruise Party a few weeks before our cruise and everyone bring "Cruise Useful" items to share. Lots of fun!
