Looking for someplace close to Holiday Inn at Port of Miami for breakfast. Hotel breakfast is overpriced. Thanks for your help!

I totally agree about the thalassotherapy pool.  The Dream class has the best. 

Thank you! I will be on the Horizon

We bought a thermal pass a few cruise ago.  It is unlimited access.  Since then, we book spa balconies.  We're thermal spa junkies.  Obviously we think it's worth.   We never really find it too busy or crowded.   You'll usually find us in the thalassotherapy pool.

Thank you! We enjoyed the thermal spa on Holland America, but haven’t tried Carnival.

I know it’s an extra charge to use the thermal spa. Do they limit the amount of passes they sell? Can I go anytime or do I have to pick certain times/days? If you have personally used it, how busy was it & was it worth the extra cost? 

Cruising on Horizon in Jan 2025, have friends that decided to go. However only balcony cabins showing as available are a cove cabin or a spa cabin. Is it likely more cabins will show as available?

Does Carnival have Black Friday sales on drink packages, internet, dining, shore excursions?

Deciding between Downtown Miami Hilton Inn & Holiday Inn at port Miami. We have stayed at the Holiday Inn before so know what’s like. Any suggestions?

Haven’t sailed on Carnival since 2016 so wanted to know how to request a table for 2. Do I send an email request? If so what is the Email address for the Horizon? 
Late seating was only option, is it possible to switch to early? (sailing in January 2025)

Thanks for your help!

I booked my cruise with an online agency so will a Carnival PVP still help me?

I had trouble bringing up my past cruises on Carnivals website. So I tried to create a new account. Now that account doesn’t show past cruises. So I want to delete it. Any suggestions on how to do that besides calling Carnival?

What perks come with an Ocean Suite on the Horizon? In your opinion are they worth the cost?

The cruise I would like to book took a large jump in prices. Any recommendations on when HAL has sales? 

Looking for the Dining Room menus on the Rotterdam. My DH likes shrimp cocktail & wondered if it is offered. Also would like to know what to expect for entrees.

How do I redeem points for on board credit? I have searched the Barclays website, but am unable to find a place to redeem the points. Thank you for your help.

We were on the Oasis in January in a regular balcony. I asked the cabin stewart if we could get 2 robes. He was able to get them & bring them to our room that night.

It was $8 a person from the hotel to the cruise port.

Isn’t it 10 miles from airport to cruise port?

No taxi from airport was $49

to port was $8 a person

Fares have increased substantially 

We stayed here one night prior to cruise. I have read negative reviews so want to share our experiences.

Due to flight delays we got in at 1am. 
Our room was clean and everything in working order. Staff was helpful.

Would recommend & stay again

Is there a night light in the bathroom of a balcony cabin on oasis? If not what have you use and recommend?

I know tables for 2 can be really close together. Are there any tables for 2 around the railing in the main dining room? If so how difficult might it be to get one?

I look forward to your reviews. Especially on the Oasis as we are sailing in January 2023.

I would be happy eating just those desserts.

Thanks. I will probably buy my granddaughter something nicer from one of the islands.

Do the stores on board have free “jewelry” give aways? On other cruise lines I have gotten necklaces or earrings. I gave them to my granddaughter. She seemed to like them. 

I use a cane to assist with walking. Sailing on Oasis out of Miami. Is there a special line for those with canes, walkers etc. for embarking or do I just get in line with everyone?
