Mitsugirly, do you remember the cost of Almaplena?

We will be in Costa Maya on Dec. 8th. Does anyone know the price of Almaplena? I love the reviews and think that my DH and I would enjoy it.

TIA!

Hi all,

I have a wedding in Florida this coming December, followed by a cruise. I bought palazzo pants in black with chiffon a overlay. I need a beautiful top to go with them and am at a loss as to where to begin shopping for one. I'm a plus size 18-20.

First; What type of top goes with palazzo pants?

Second; Store recommendations please.

Thanks in advance for the help I know you'll give me. And, have a great day!

This is a question for loyal Carnival cruisers. This morning, October 1st, my DH told me that there was a $50pp deposit sale that expired yesterday. We're planning our 40th wedding anniversary for 2018 and this would have been a perfect way to get a cruise on the books. I know you don't have a crystal ball, but from your vast experience, will this sale likely come again?

Since we're not drinkers, it's not a deal breaker for us. We're going for a nice, safe beach with chairs, umbrellas and bathrooms. If it's as nice as it looks, it will be our go-to destination for San Juan port stops.

We booked directly with Pamela's.

Thanks so much everyone! We're going to Pamela's. Since we pull into port at 1:30, we're not including food, just the six drinks for $30pp. Includes umbrellas and chairs too. We're excited because we usually can't find anything that we enjoy in San Juan. If this works out, I'll never mind it being a port again!

Following.

Thanks everyone!

We will be sailing in October 2015 on Liberty of the Sea out of NJ. Although we have cruised many times, we've never cruised on RC. Is there anything we need to know? Are there many differences between RC and NCL, Princess and Carnival?

Thanks in advance for any information you might share.

I just needed to subscribe to this thread because it's so positive and happy. I love that a person sharing and giving blesses others!

I've been on many cruises with NCL, Carnival and Princess. October I will be on my first RC (Liberty) cruise. Is there anything I need to know with RC that might be different than the cruise lines mentioned above?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

I'd also be interested in knowing the price for this day pass.

Thanks!

We're going to San Juan in October 2015. Are there any day pass hotels out there? Experiences, good and bad appreciated.

Thanks!

Same here. Waiting and hoping for some insight.

Another thing to think about...we booked a suite on the Star for four of us. It was less than booking two balcony cabins plus we got all of the perks. Ultimate beverage, dining packages, OBC and 3rd and 4th person free. Suite benefits are sweet!

Well, we're all booked now! We'll make it work. Thanks for all of the information and please, keep it coming!

The YouTube video was great. I found another on the Star.

Now, to decide if it will work or not. That second room looks rather small.

Thank you! So it's a full bed and a pull down bunk. This just might work. With the incentive of getting the ultimate beverage and dining packages, OBC and air credit, it makes it even more attractive!

Does anyone have a picture (or any information) of the second bedroom (the smaller one) for the 2-Bedroom Family Suite w/balcony on the Star? We're trying to decide if it will work for us.

Thank you in advance for replies.

We're sailing on 12/1/14 on the Gem. Does anyone know when they begin to put holiday decorations up?

In the shopping area just off of the ship, there is a fine linen store. I always stop there and pick up something new. Lots of nice things!

Thank you for the recommendation, but we're looking for a more inexpensive resort, not necessarily an all inclusive.

We are on the NCL Gem. We're not necessarily looking for an all inclusive, just a quiet beach.

We will be traveling to St. Lucia for the second time in December. The last time we took a whole day tour and it was wonderful. This time we'd like to go to an inexpensive beach resort where we can use the pool and beach. Any suggestions?
