Just an FYI for anyone scheduled on the Breeze in March/April. I received a cancellation email from Carnival for my cruise on the Breeze in April 2022. The Breeze will be in dry dock March 19-April 25 

When in March? Wondering if we may be close. 1st attempt to cancel march 13,when they actually cancelled march 18.

I was booked with a group of 9 for a May 21 sailing. 3 of them got refunds yesterday. The rest of us are still waiting so I’m not sure how Carnival is sending the refunds out. We all cancelled at the same time in March.

Dream April 9th was cancelled, rebooked for September 10th

Is the Ocean Plaza busy for breakfast? We are right above it and hope to go there instead of Lido.

We went to breakfast kinda early so it wasn’t busy at all.

Thanks for the quick review.  Any thoughts on the Havana experience, was it worth it?

Yes it was very much worth it. One thing I did realize was that even though the Cabana patio was awesome, I would have been fine with a Havana interior cabin because of the private pool area. Never too crowded and very quiet. It was like having the whole area to yourself. If I knew this before,  I would have saved the extra $1000 or so. Just my opinion.

We were on in Jan and will be back next month.  Vista is great.  My question is, what your iten was and which night was the second elegant night? 

We did the 6 day cruise to costa maya, Belize and Cozumel...Sun-Sat. The elegant nights were Monday and Thursday.

Short and sweet review! Glad you had a good time. 

 

What did you like about Havana? Thinking about doing one.

I liked the privacy and the exclusive access to the Havana area. Even though it was open to the public after 7pm, It was never crowded. Also the private patio was awesome...especially in the mornings. Didn’t see anyone walking by other than a few neighbors but we were on the end so that could’ve been the reason. The ocean plaza was located right next door and had breakfast available every morning so we never went to the lido deck for breakfast. 

Hello,

Just wanted to share my Carnival Vista experience. First off, it’s a big beautiful ship. So many things to see and do. We stayed in a Havana Cabana and loved it. Guys burgers were great as usual and the steakhouse was delicious. Matt the cd was awesome. We didn’t get to do the sky ride or sky course, the lines were always long. The ship seemed crowded on sea days but never a long wait for anything like food or drinks in my opinion. We planned to see a movie on board in the theatre but never got around to it due to so many other things to do. Never a dull moment. I will definitely cruise the Vista again. I will be happy to answer any questions and have included some pics. 

Do ships get an overhaul when moving to a new port or do they just start sailing as soon as it gets there? Wondering if the Dream will get a good cleaning and maintenance when it gets to Galveston from New Orleans. 

My boys were 11 and 15 when we decided to get connecting cabins. That’s the only way they could have their own room. I don’t think would be able to sleep if they were across or down the hall. 

Awesome review and nice pics! We’re sailing the Vista in April. Thanks for sharing your experience. 😊

There are two bathrooms.  No toilet in the bathroom with a tub.

 

It is not a handicap cabin, nor did I book it as one.

 

Seems very quiet and peaceful...

 

 

Thanks for the update 😊

I am on the Dec. 16th sailing of the Dream and have this cabin.  It is my understanding it does have 2 bathrooms.  

 

I can confirm next week.

Hello bellebaby,

That would be very helpful...thank you. 

Enjoy your cruise! 

Hello,

I want to book a spa cabin on the Dream and I saw several old post(before 2012) saying that cabin 12201 has 2 bathrooms. Any recent cruisers can confirm this room still has the 2 bathrooms? The carnival deck plan does not show this.

My cruise fare went up as well...when I asked about the obc, the rep said my fare would have to be what is listed now. Which is $40 higher. 😕

We had a connecting cabin on the Valor. Heard them talking throughout the trip and we heard their tv all night. I guess it all depends on what kind of neighbors you get. 

Just booked a cruise for 2020 and 2021! So excited! I was kind of hesitant to book 2021 but I figured why not. So excited! 

Anyone else booking or booked for 2021? Is that too far out? 

I just checked the Carnival site and some cruises have been posted through April 2021. Looks like only 4 day cruises though but I only checked for the Galveston port.

you do know the ship is at anchor and you have to tender to Belize.  I'm pretty sure most tours leave from the tender dock. 

No! I didn’t know that...that’s why I’m here asking my fellow cruisers but thanks for the response.

We have booked the scenic wildlife river tour.  From what I understand is that it is a short walk and you leave from the pier.

That’s good to know. I will check them out.  Thank you 

Never thought about buying shares but I would be interested in investing in Carnival since I love to cruise. How do you go about buying or investing?

DH has 10 more than me. 161 cruises on Carnival; 62 on Royal. We began cruising when we got married in 2007. 

161 cruises on Carnival?  Wow! 😳

Thought this would be an interesting topic..

I have been cruising since 2016! April 2019 will be my 4th cruise! 

When did you start cruising and how many cruises have you been on?
