Hi there!

Anyone happen to know the current hours of operation for camp ocean (stingrays) on 7 day sailings! Excited to be back on board the Panorama with my little one in 23 days, 22 hours and 32 minutes.. but who is counting lol

Wondering if anyone on board recently might know if they have the pour your own wine dispensers in the library bar and/or the pour your own beer stations on lido still? Thank you!

Wondering how kids camp is running with the covid restrictions!? Sailing on the Panorama with my vaccinated 6yo in April and she loooves the kids club. Are you limited to a certain amount if days/times? Are they doing night owls at all or the kids dinner on lido?

Oh also, have they stopped the Dr. Seuss activities…story time, parade and the dr.seuss brunch? 

Thank you and sorry for all the questions! 😂

Does anyone happen to know if you get a connecting cove balcony on Vista class ships (Panorama) does the partition open up on the balconies? Thank you!!

And another alchemist stepped in Nicola. He’s the one I expected to be here instead of Anna Maria. I’m guessing he’ll replace her when she leaves on Saturday 

 

 

 LOVING following along!!!! Sailed on the Panorama last month and sure do miss the ship. If you happen to see Nikola at Alchemy again can you ask how long he will be on the Panorama. We just loved him on our cruise! Thank you!

Does anyone happen to know if the Family Harbor Lounge on Panorama is open and accessible right away on embarkation or are you not able to get in there until after rooms are ready at 1:30ish? Thank you!

Just curious if anyone knew what the Dive In Movies that will be playing for the month of February?! Thanks!

SOOO Excited. ONLY 194 more days until I sail her!! I've never sailed a Vista class ship before and a brand new one at that! 

Hello! I was wondering if anyone had a recent photo of the steakhouse menu on the Dream?? 

Thank you!🥩

Sailing the Dream 5/5/19... how can I find out which dining room we've been assigned to? Due to late booking, Late dining was all that was available and  wait listed for YTD. If we are still wait listed come cruise day I'd like to check-in with the Maitr'd  right after we board to see if they might be able to switch us for something, anything other than late but not sure if I go to Crimson or Scarlet. Thank you!!

Ill be sailing the Dream out of NOLA on 5/5/19. SOO excited to read your review!! We also booked last minute and FTTF is sold out, Ill be checking a few times a day in hopes something become available!

You could ride the street car to the hotel after?  I haven't done it yet but I'm researching for my cruise in September.

Ohhh, I will have to look into this! Im not bringing a car seat so taking a cab/uber is out and If I can bypass paying $75 to hire a shuttle that would be amazing.

We stay at Best Western Plus New Orleans Airport Hotel in Kenner.  Close to the airport.  Free shuttle from the airport to the hotel and the shuttle will take you to dinner and pick you up.  Shuttle from the hotel to the port for a fee.  I can't remember what it costs.  Less than half an hour from the port.  Free breakfast.  It seems like there are some stores close by.

 

It isn't the nicest hotel, but it's clean.

Awesome, thank you!

Flying to NOLA the day before our Carnival cruise and looking for Hotel recommendations that are near the AIRPORT and possibly in walking distance to a store where I could purchase wine/champagne and soda! Staying in the Quarter is not an option, Jazz fest going on when we fly in and hotels are outrageous!! 

Also, staying a night in NOLA after the cruise, booked a room at the Astor Crowne Plaza on Canal and Bourbon. Anyone know if this hotel is in walking distance from the cruise terminal?? I'm fine trekking a ways but I will have my 3 year old terrorist and luggage to handle. 

Thank you 🙂

Do you mean May 9th 2020 on the Magic? I am going on an 8 day cruise on May 9th 2020 on the Magic.

Probably. I actually ended up booking the Dream for 5/5/19 because we just could wait until 2020

Without a doubt pasta bella. You board on deck 3. What I do is take the atrium staircase to deck 4, walk to the back of the ship, take the aft elevators to deck 11...and you're there. Everyone is going to be using the forward and atrium elevators...nobody will be using the aft elevators.

Oh fantastic, my cabin is on deck 12, with any luck it will be ready after some lunch. What about a bar, which actually should have been my 1st question haha.

Where is your favorite, least crowded place to eat once you've boarded the Dream??!!

Sailing her on 5/5/19, this will be my first time on the Dream and first time on a Dream class ship, Ive only done spirit class 10+ years ago, very excited!

Does anyone know how access to the spa on the Dream works if you’re booked in a spa balcony?? Do you access it with your S&S card or do they give you a wrist band?? Thank you!

Question about serenity deck. If I purchase a bittle of champagne from the serenity deck bar, can I take it back to my room? I have no idea how that works never been on the serenity deck so Im a little cluless. Thank you!

Loving your review!! I'm cruising the dream on 5/5/19. 60 more days to go!!

We were on the Magic in Sept 2018. Our cabin was on deck 7. It seemed to be a good location, easy access to deck 5 and the Lido. Only thing I would look for is to make sure you're not near the Atrium stairs or elevators.  

Oh no! The room I booked is near all of those things. I booked deck 9 #9274. Well hopefully it’s not going to be too noisy. My mom wears a hearing aid and my kid wouldnsleep through an explosion so guess ill be packing esr plugs for myself 🤷🏽‍♀️ 

Solo cruise sounds like my kind of paradise. Are you able to get any kinf of solo passenger discount or do you get gouged??

So I’m pulling the trigger on booking an 8 day southern Caribbean on the Magic to celebrate my 40th, May 2020.

I need help with cabin selection! Im definitely  booking a balcony room; it will be me, my mom and my daughter who will be 4. For those of you that have sailed on Magic or other dream class ship, what deck do you like best??? Im looking at either Lido or deck 8 now, I think. I dont know what area is best either, aft, mid, fwd?? Port or starboard??What are you thoughts and experiences?? Pros/Cons.

I havent cruised in 5,000 years and have only had interior cabins before.

Im booked on the Panorama in Feb 2020, I have an aft extended balcony in the Family Harbor but obviously that’s not an option in this class ship. Im excited to check both of these ships out!

Thank you!
