I took a screen grab of the wrong date. This is the correct one, although it still shows 4 ships:

You're right. I didn't notice that. I just looked up the HMC schedule for that date and freaked out when I saw so many ships.

Topless Tuesday

What makes Carnival more fun? It's difficult to quantify, but here are a few: Dining room menu is not pretentious Dancing waiters Guy's Burgers for free! Friendly passengers (mostly) Just regular people having a good time

I recently booked a 6-day cruise from Miami on Magic. Good price, good itinerary, including my favorite beach Half Moon Cay. However, once I checked port schedules (on CruiseMapper) I realized that Half Moon Cay has 4 ships in port on the same day! No thanks. I need to start checking port schedules before booking.

If it's like other Carnival ships, there may be a euro plug under the head of the bed too.

Today I called Royal's automated assistant and requested a new cruise confirmation. The new one says "my time dining". Problem solved!

Your math only works if you factor in that each person will drink two cocktails per day...and that's just to break even! Last October My wife and I were on Royal's Jewel of the Seas for 10 nights in Greece. My total bar tab was $161.79. 🤑

Wrong. You just pay for the individual drinks without buying the drink package. Not a difficult concept to grasp.

I think the point is that RC cruisers can buy a drink if they don't have the drink package.

It's very possible with a port-intensive itinerary. Having 1 or 2 drinks in the evening doesn't add up to much.

I'm on the 1/29 cruise. My second time on Celebrity and Summit. I think (hope) you'll enjoy it.

Is that on the Summit on 1/29/25?

I've enjoyed both. I'd say it like Kohl's vs. Wal-Mart.

Simple, because my bar tab ends up costing less than the gratuities on the "free" package.

🤣

👍

I've already done both of those things. Last cruise 15 feet wasn't long enough. Thanks for answering a different question than I asked though.

As a CPAP user, I've grown tired of playing the "find the outlet" game and running extension cords all around my stateroom. Thinking of buying a CPAP battery and using that as my main power source. No cords needed. Just wondering if anyone here has tried that. Thanks.

Is there a reason you didn't return the car to Divi? I also have an upcoming Hertz rental from Divi for my fourth time to Bonaire (third on a cruise).

Best cruise website! It's saved me lots of money, plus their search engine is very powerful.

That's nice, but didn't answer either of my questions.

Unfortunately, it's not just Royal.

Just booked on Grandeur. My Time Dining was unavailable, so I chose the 8 pm fixed time, although I'm on the waitlist for MTD. I've never done fixed time dining before. I've requested a table for 2, and was told that is not guaranteed. In your experience, have you had to share a larger table? Also, how does the MTD wait list work? Will Royal contact me if an opening comes up or will I need to follow up? Thanks all!

Of course. But "so many" can be 10 hours or 4 hours.
