I was wondering if those oysters came with cocktail sauce and crackers?

No that smoke sauce was on there gave them flavor....but i'm sure you can request the sauce and crackers if you need it.

Thanks for uploading that. Very informative. Ya this package is not for me as I am doing excursions everyday. I’ll just buy my drinks as needed. Makes more sense 🙂

no problem glad we could help.

Are there any balcony’s that are noise free? A little worried we are on deck 8!

Hi we did the Cloud 9 spa cabin with balcony and we didn't hear anything in the room with the doors closed...and on the balcony it was quiet...

I pre-purchased before i got on the boat, so i would not have to carry around a gallon of water for the 7 day cruise.

For pre-purchase, please contact our Fun Shops department at 1-800-522-7648 Ext. 70039, Monday-Sunday from 8:00am-10:00pm ET. For purchase on board, please contact Room Service. Should you wish to bring your own distilled water with you, it must be hand carried along with your CPAP machine.

in case you have other cruise questions check out our channel

It clearly says 4 oz, which is less than 1/2 a regular steak. I have never seen fries or onion rings in the Steakhouse

Yes I would suggest NOT getting the surf and turf if you are  hungry.  Look at my fork in the picture  compared to the steak😆.   In my excitement of the restaurant.  I didn't look at the steak size I just had in my mind "Surf and Turf"...

If you are interested we did a review of the steak house. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Fd-gHG8LyI

Hey everyone! My husband and I will be leaving on our 3 day cruise to the Bahamas on May 31st. We decided to purchase the Pixels Photo Package which includes 5 photos and 1 canvas photo. Since this will be a short cruise some of our pictures probably won’t be taken until the last night. Does anyone know if you’re still able to buy pictures the morning of debarkation? Will we be able to choose our canvas picture then or will we have to have it done prior to the last morning?

Yes you can buy pictures the morning of, you do not get digital copies to go along with your prints.  That's extra 😞 
We did a review of the pixels if you would like more info

You can also pre-purchase cruise cash bar.....if you estimate  how much you think you will spend.

Here's a link to our review if you would like to take a look

We did a cruise on the Vista in January, it was awesome!!.  We did a tour of our Cloud 9 Spa Balcony Cabin  if anyone would like to see what the Spa Cabins look like.

You just gave away our super secret shortcut ! 🤨😆😂

During busy times and every elevator going up is full, if the elevator is not full going down get on anyway...eventually you'll go back up.

We did the Cheers! package and I am not a heavy drinker and we did a 7 day cruise and we calculated we lost close to $350 dollars.  Next cruise we are going on we are getting cruise bar cash.  We did a review of our experience if you would like to take a look.

Just write on the bottom of the pre treatment survey that you do not want to buy ay additional products.  Nothing needs to be said.

Good idea👍

Hard to believe the attitude could be that mercenary!! 

"ONLY" 150 dollars more" he said -It'll be fun, he said. I'll pay the bill, he said..

😂😂...man if we weren't at sea, and I was not having such a great time, and had the mindset of not letting small stuff ruin my vacation.....here is your $150..

Oh, I have no problem with telling them no, I just don't like being put in a situation where I would have to in the first place. That would totally kill my mood.

I know what you mean, I went in blind and they were trying to up-sell another massage more expensive than the one we purchased.  I said no thank you and a manager came strolling past and said "it's only $150 dollars more what's the big deal?"  I looked at her and my mind told me "you are on vacation!! you are on vacation!!!, ignore it!!! "   I held back escalating the situation, but I made it known on the survey they send at the end of the cruise that was extremely rude.

So glad I saw this post. I was getting ready to book a couples massage for my husband and I. Not sure if I even want to book one at all once onboard considering everyone mentioning the hard sales pitches during services. That is so off-putting.

If you go in and know exactly what you want and stand firm you'll be ok. 🙂

Hi we did a review of the 12th floor Cloud 9 on the Vista if you would like to see what it looks like

We did spa balcony on floor 12 and at some point during the cruise they sped the ship up to avoid a storm and the rocking got really bad, and I ended up seasick.

We did a walk through of our room

We had an issue with pre-purchasing with a 20% discount.  We thought that since we had the Spa Cabin and you get discounts on multiple massages, the online purchase would go towards our discount.  NOT THE CASE.  They said we already got the  discount, so when we were ready to book another massage they started with the 20% discount instead of 30% which we would have received if we would have booked on-board.   If you plan on doing multiple massages, I would wait until you are on board to book.

We talked a little bit about it in our review of the Spa Cabin if you would like to take a look

Yes!  We paid $200 for the digital photo package at Disney and it was beyond worth it - every single picture we took at the parks!  I wouldn't hesitate to do the same for Carnival.

I would definitely do that if we took enough pictures to justify it.
