I carry mine in a pouch on the back of my phone. It's part of my phone case. I've never had any issues with it being demagnetized.

I bet if my soda of choice had been a Coke, I would be getting a bit more understanding.

This is correct. I just got off the Magic this past Sunday. I had an aft cabin with YTD which was the Northern Lights dining room, all the way forward. Early and Late were in the Aft dining room, as was breakfast and sea day brunch.

I sure felt like it! I was hoping for a nice cold can of ginger ale before bed. The 7.5oz was such a letdown.

Now I know to look at it. When I realized it was a small can, I felt so dumb because I should’ve noticed how it fit in my hand. But I didn’t even think sodas came in that size. Now I know!

So on the last night of the cruise, I used my vifp drink perk to get a ginger ale. The guy gave me a can and I went on my way to pop it into my refrigerator for later. It wasn't until then that I noticed the can was only 7.5oz! Are all the sodas minis? I would've gotten an orange crush if those are regular 12oz. Next time should I ask for my ginger ale in a cup?

I ordered 2 4packs of angry orchard online, and I couldn't add the wine package at that time. I was able to get the 5-bottle package onboard though.

The redemption instructions say to get your bottle from a bar.

I just got off the Magic Sunday. It was an 8 day cruise. If someone hasn't cruise on Carnival recently (since the startup?) I think they will say there are cutbacks (once daily room cleaning/ no steak and lobster on elegant night) but I found my cruise very enjoyable. This was my second time on Magic, the first one was in May 2022. I asked my steward for a bucket of ice on the 2nd day because I was bringing a bottle of white zinfandel back to by cabin and he put fresh ice in my bucket daily after that. I also got towel animals every day. I ate most meals in the MDR and the service was great most nights. One lady near me made a note that she didn't like mushrooms and the server made several attempts to find her a dinner entre that didn't have mushrooms. It wasn't until the end of the cruise that my glass of water wasn't being refilled after just one sip. lol But there were many apologies when noticed. I even had my coffee cup refilled when sitting on the deck right outside the buffet. I was annoyed by the number of people that came into the buffet in swimsuits and no shoes. I only saw one person told they needed to cover up and the staff person did get them a pool towel so they didn't have to get out of line. I do wish that had been addressed more often. I saw the stair rails being cleaned seemingly nonstop. I made note how often I saw the toilet paper folded in a triangle when I used the public ones as a gauge of how recently it had been serviced. A lot. I ordered room service one morning, around 7. They told me a 15-30 minute wait, and it was there in less than 10. That might have annoyed some people that were counting on those 15 minutes. Luckily I am a quick showerer, so the timing was perfect. Overall, it was a great cruise.

When I purchased my wine package online, the specific wines were listed. It wasn't an easy-to-read format though. But they are also listed on the card you receive on board if you want to wait and purchase then.

You can still get made to order omelettes at the omelette station. I got an egg white with spinach, mushrooms, and cheese. I didn’t try in the MDR.

I had morning room service yesterday.

I thought they only substituted airports within 50 miles of each other. Philly and NYC are a bit more than 50 miles apart.

you can call and get it just for her.

With Fly2Fun, you pick the flights you want. You know the times and the price. So unless it's a problem on the airline's side, there aren't any unknowns. I had a flight cancellation at the last minute, called the emergency traveler number given for Fly2fun and they rebooked me on another flight with no added fees even though the flight was considerably more expensive than what I paid.

OP, did you get your flight details yet?

Try another browser. It doesn’t work when I use safari.

When you go to "manage my booking" it's available as a drop down item.

Why don't you use the website? Is that down also?

I admit this made me sad to learn this also included the omelets stations at the buffet. That was my go-to breakfast. I would get an omelet with all the veggies, bacon, and extra cheese with a side of country potatoes every day. I'm really stumped at what I will eat now. I don't really care for runny yolks which is why I haven't given eggs benedict a try. But maybe.

Does anyone have any feedback on Jake Miller? He will be the CD on my Magic Cruise next month. I think. This is the week he starts and overlaps with the leaving CD, Michael D’Aria. I don't know how that works, if they will share duties for that week?

Did you have to use their hotel to get a pre and post deviation?

Most of my flights have been domestic on AA or delta and I have always been able to select my seats and upgrade if I chose to. I had to pay for any checked bags. My international flights were to Panama and 1 free checked bag was included by the airline (Delta) and DR (Delta) where I have to pay for checked bags. I don't have status on any airline.

Whenever I get NCL flights, I inquire about the hotel they use and it's always been MUCH more expensive than what I can find on my own. Well this time, I got a great deal for my 2-night stay in Vancouver at the Hilton Vancouver Downtown, $780 USD total. If I booked this myself, it would be around $1200. I still looked around online and couldn't find anything significantly cheaper that was comparable in quality. Even the YWCA was just slightly cheaper at $703 once the taxes and fees were added. None of my friends can understand my excitement, so I thought I would share here 🙂

I've done B2B on Carnival but never NCL. I am booked for my 1st one on the Escape out of NYC in 2025. I can't believe how excited I am about this one. I have waited so long to sail on Escape and for it to be in NYC where I don't have to fly to, I definitely signed up for that B2B when I saw I could do it with no repeats. Bahamas and Bermuda.
