Waving in your direction from a few miles away in Inglewood! Enjoy our lovely weather and have a fantastic vacation.

I've never sailed at Christmas time, but my love for Spirit-class ships is limitless. I'd choose one of those four lovely ladies over any other ship in the fleet, 10 times out of 10. Not only do they have my beloved bowling alley balcony cabins, but the layout of the ships is excellent. I love being able to walk all the way around the ship on deck 3, I love the plethora of little sitting areas tucked away in various corners, I love the not-too-big, not-too-small size and the way they never feel crowded. Big fan.

Per current Carnival policy/guidance, requiring tests between B2B cruises is at the discretion of the ship's doctor. From what I've seen recently, very few (if any?) ships are currently requiring testing between B2B.

My teen was able to participate in his synchronous college class via Zoom while on the Miracle last month with no trouble at all, using the ship's premium-level wifi. The big caveat is we were anchored in Catalina at the time.

I didn't have to; it's my all-time favorite song and I've seen the video eleventy-billion times. 🤣

Every little thing is, indeed, gonna be all right. ♥️ Have a wonderful time!

Then I'll drink a toast to you from the balcony as we set sail!

I'm sure I'm not alone in historically mixing up Inspiration/Imagination, both of which were sailing the same 3- and 4-night Baja itineraries from Long Beach (pre-pandemic).

My $550 solo bowling alley balcony for the 12-night Europe sailing was not a casino deal (I've never gambled in a Carnival casino). It was the Alaska/Europe VIFP deal from last month. I booked Alaska at a great rate too (6 nights, 2 people, bowling alley balcony, $875 with $200 OBC) but I don't think I'll ever beat that Europe deal.

I'm sailing solo on a 12-night Scandinavian/Baltic cruise, in an 8K extended "bowling alley" balcony, for $550. The taxes, fees, and port charges ($290) were more than the cruise fare ($260).
