Not sure if we're allowed to post links, but if you take those 2 words and add dot com, that's his website. His name is Noe.

Thanks for your review! Glad you and your family enjoyed the cruise, and the ship. I'm really looking forward to being on her in March with my niece! 😊

We recently returned a cruise on Carnival Radiance, and Ensenada was our port. We did a tour with Experience Ensenada. Found him on social media and he gets really good reviews. The tour was maybe 3-4 hours along and included some food stops, tequila tasting, margaritas. I highly recommend it.

Thanks all for your feedback! I am going to see her in a little while and I think (fingers crossed) that she is leaning towards going. She'll know more after her appt with the orthopedic surgeon. Sounds like no show is the way to go, if you don't have travel insurance and you're in the 100% penalty phase.

@DallasGuy75219 yes, I do think I read that somewhere. This late in the game, just no show. She does understand she is losing her fare. I'm curious about Cheers package and prepaid gratuities, wifi package, all that. Does she lose that too? Thanks!

@firefly333that's what I was thinking, guests 1 and 2 might be refared if she cancels vs no show. I am pretty sure she's not coming, she broke her wrist yesterday and is going to need surgery. I told her to wait a day or 2 before she decides for sure.

Thanks @DallasGuy75219 they are all first time Carnival cruisers. I know I've seen topics on no-show vs cancelation but I'm thinking it won't make any difference in this situation.

Hello, I did a cursory search using different phrases but couldn't find an answer to this question. Perhaps someone here knows. 🙂 Three people in cabin, lead guest on reservation has medical emergency and can't go. 100% penalty in effect. My question is, how does it affect the other 2 passengers? Thanks for any info on this topic!

Thank you for the info! I have a group of 10 doing this cruise (3 days, just to Ensenada) so it's nice to know what to expect.

I agree with your assessment! I have done the thermal suite on the Splendor and the Vista a couple of times, and on other lines. The main thing I didn't care for on the Vista was that the thermal tub (for lack of a better word) was right in the middle of the heated ceramic loungers, so it didn't really lend itself to a peaceful calming experience. People like to talk when they're in the tub, and if you're trying to relax on the lounger it can be distracting. I much preferred the thermal suite on the Splendor, as the areas were separate, and made for a much more relaxing experience. Although as you said, if you had nothing to compare it to, you wouldn't know.

I'm really enjoying your review! Will be on Panorama in March 2024, can't wait! 😄

I think one change to the perks is that you can't prebook entertainment any longer, it has to be done after you board.

This question may have cleared up (for me) something the NCL agent told me on the phone, to which I didn't pay a lot of attention at the time. I called on Friday to book the thermal suite pass for me and my sister (a whole other long story 🙄) and towards the end of the call she said, "I need to let you know that starting today you will need to use your email address to log in to the website, not your username". I already use my email addy to log in so I didn't understand why she was telling me that. Not sure this helps, but it seems perhaps they changed something.
