Not going on the Jubilee, but on Mardi Gras in November and have that same cabin. I sure hope they still allow a lounger. One of the reasons I wanted an extended balcony, besides the downward view.

That would be a dream 💕. I just couldn't stand to be that far from my kids and grandbabies.

Thanks so much for the comparison. I may just have to do both. 😆

Isn't that the truth. I have waited on bottled water for my November cruise because it says it's non-refundable and now it's almost $15. Wish I would have just ordered it last month. I didn't think they'd go up again so soon on that. I'm still trying to decide between the Steakhouse and Teppanyaki, or both. I need to do it quick before they increase that again. 🥺

That's great! Thank you so much!

Post a comparison if you can. I loved the Steakhouse on Sunshine, didn't try it on Vista, but really want it this go round. But....I also want to try Teppanyaki. Problem is I'm not a fan of any fish/seafood (I'm a filet girl) and the desserts don't sound like anything I'm used to, so I don't know if it would be my cup of tea. But I want to try it for the experience. If I could only do one, I'm not sure which I'd pick. If they are good enough I would possibly do them both.

Following along. We were on Vista for the first time last November. Love that ship! Hoping to talk dh into letting me book her for next year. He wants to try a different ship, but here's hoping I get my way! Have a great cruise!

Following along. We will be on Mardi Gras for the first time this November and I can't wait! Have a great cruise!

I do not know 100% that they allow cruise parking for guests. I'm going off vlogs I have watched that said you can, but none of them actually did it. That's why I was looking for someone that has left their car. Good to know T-3 parking isn't the mess that Terminal 6 was in November. Thank you for your help. That makes me feel better about parking at the terminal. It was so stressful last time.

Last November we had two cabins with FTTF, all luggage tags and boarding passes were marked, but S&S cards for 2nd cabin didn't have stickers.

Our cruise is not until November and our luggage tags have the FTTF logo on them already. I just printed them this morning. I had that same thought as you, what is to stop someone from purchasing FTTF then canceling after printing boarding passes and luggage tags. They would still get priority boarding, just not the other "perks". I hate paying the extra $$ for it, but I do it for convenience mostly. We carry on/off all our luggage and I like to be able to drop off our bags while waiting on our stateroom to be ready. I also like being able to board asap and we like to debark as early as possible ahead of the long drive home when sailing out of FL. If sailing out of SC or VA we prefer to debark as late as possible since the drive is shorter.

Have any of you stayed at the new Holiday Inn Express in Port Canaveral and left your car there? We will be staying there in November for our first Mardi Gras cruise and I'm trying to decide if it would be easier to leave our car at the hotel. When we cruised on the Vista last November the port was kind of a mess getting in. I know it was a different terminal, so 3 may not be as bad. Just looking for past experiences. Thank you!

Excited to follow along. We will be on Mardi Gras for the first time in November to celebrate our 30th anniversary. Can't wait! Hope your family has a wonderful trip!

Does anyone have a hotel recommendation for the Savannah area or a little farther south? We drove straight through from NC to Port Canaveral on our cruise last month, but are looking to stop maybe halfway or so and spend the night this time around. We will be leaving 2 days before our cruise on Mardi Gras and will spend the second night near the port.

We'll be on that sailing as well. It's also our first time on Vista. It will be the largest ship we've been on until Mardi Gras next year. Can't wait!
