Jfunk, If you do not mind me asking, what is the age range of your kids?
We are going May 2020 and our daughter will be 13. Only ask so we know what to expect for her.

THis happened to me on Saturday. Saturday it was missing, and the following week was the start. On Sunday I checked again, my week was showing but the following week disappeared. As someone has mentioned, it is probably a glitch on the carnival site.

This is our very first cruise 🛳. We are taking the daughter who will be 12.
I created a roll call for our sailing https://www.cruisecritic.com/rollcalls/carnival-pride-may-3-2020/ if you want to join it.

I’m bumping this thread cause I’d love to know how the 4K rooms are going to look after dry dock. I have the family booked May 2020 and picked 2 of those rooms for the kids. Will my cost go up if I already booked and paid deposit?
What is your May sail Date. We are going out on the 3rd.
As for the room upgrades, as long as you are already booked, and paid, they cannot charge you again, unless you make changes to your booking, ie. adding/removing a person, changing the room.

This is sad news. If this port is shut down to rebuild, would the cruise line, make an extra sea day, or go to another port?

Hello all and sorry if this has been discussed. I did try to search and not sure if my phone is acting up, or it wasn't mentioned.
Are we able to bring those folding camp chairs that are bagged. Like the ones you get from Dick's or Walmart? We have one that has the canopy built in, and would like to bring, in case all the clamshell's or umbrellas are rented out.
Thank you in advanced.

For beverages, there are beverage stations in the buffet area where you can get unsweet tea, lemonade, and a juice drink on tap. Also coffee. Juices at breakfast. EM

I was planning on getting the bubbles package for my family on our cruise. I really do not drink sodas, but mainly going to get it for myself, for the juices.
After Reading this, are the milks, lemonades, Teas, and coffees all available all day long too and included with our price paid?
We was also thinking of bringing on a 12pk per guest but the bubbles ended up being a better plan for our schedules we are working on so we would not have to go back to our room to get a drink. But if the milks, lemonades teas and regular coffees are included with our fare all day long, I may forgo the bubbles.
Thank you for

That was gonna be my next round of questions. Can you still bring a 12 pack of soda on board? And kids are you allowed to bring juice boxes etc.
One 12 pack per person, no more than 12oz and not in plastic bottles.

For you using the spreadsheet. Remember that these prices are estimates.
I am not sure when the original sheet was made, I just modified the cost of cheers and and had it include gratitude of 18%.
The first one I posted does not have the gratitude for each drink. I update, a few post after it that does include the 18% per drink.
Just use the sheet with caution and only for a guesstimate on what it could cost you, not for what you will actually be spending.

You included the required 18% gratuity in the calculation for the Cheers cost but not for calculating the non-Cheers total. This will skew the totals in favor of not doing Cheers. Unless I've misread, the 18% is also added to beverages purchased on board without the Cheers package. So the 18% shouldn't really change anything until you've hit the daily cost of the Cheers program (56.95 purchased on board, 51.95 purchased before boarding). Once you've hit that point, the 18% works in the favor of the Cheers program as you are only paying 18% on the Cheers cost. You will be getting any Cheers drinks beyond the daily Cheers cost "free" of the required gratuity. For most people, the 18% shouldn't play any role in the decision making whether or not to purchase Cheers. For those people who are likely to go over the Cheers daily cost when purchasing beverages on board, the way the 18% is calculated with Cheers would favor them purchasing Cheers. Otherwise it is a wash. With that knowledge, I would strongly suggest extra tipping if you have Cheers and have gone above the daily cost of the program on any given day.
Thank you for pointing that out. I have updated the sheet to reflect the 18% grat for the single drinks, and set the Cost of Cheers to the pre-cruise price.

Here is the spreadsheet you was talking about to try out. I have modified it a bit to include the 18% auto gratuity. All you would have to do is change cruise length. Most prices for the drinks are close to actual if not actual, so it will give you a great ball park of if it is worth it for you.
I hope this helps, and I do not take credit for creating this.

Wearing a backpack and taking a carry on??

Also good for when you are with your child/children, and they are off on their own while you are enjoying adult time. Then you have a good reason to have the Check ins with your kids at your room. Check in, get your liquid fix head back out. But I do agree with others, depending on the ship, with the lines and getting served, sometimes it's just as quick or quicker just going back to your room, from my observation.
