14 days out for me

I received the survey and completed it. The two others in my group/suite did NOT receive the survey. I thought that was strange. I have not cruised Carnival in over 10 years... I am not on a casino rate. I thought it was kinda strange... we will see what happens when I return.

I just booked them on Hotwire for $169! Im super excited!

Just booked InterContinental in Miami on Hotwire for $169...$209 total with taxes etc. This is a huge savings over other sites. It's on Hotwire as the 5 star Port of Miami for $169. Good Luck with your future biddings.

I had some OBC to burn on another line so I did the whitening. I could see a subtle difference but nothing dramatic. Tip: do it at the END of the cruise… they tell you not to eat/drink anything with color for 24 hours…so… no red wine for me!

3 college girl friends sailing in a suite... One of us is a partier, one of us is a social drinker &, one of us is a teetotaler... I used the calculator and my husband seems to think it will be cheaper for him (as he pays the CC bill LOL) for him to pay for everyone's CHEERS package than for me to purchase my drinks one at a time! LOL Do we all have to buy the CHEERS package?

WOW! That calculator was super helpful Angela, THANKS!

Keep the shower curtain open and just close the bathroom door. Lol You will be fine! The bath floor also has a drain so it’s not like water is soaking the floor!

Doug- the tables for 2 are limited but are available! We requested a table for 2 right in front of the stairs… steps are not in use during dinner… they had 3 tables kinda going around the bottom of the steps in a semi circle but seats back to back so no one was beside you. After the concierge lunch when our table for 2 turned into a table for 6, and our first night dinner turned into a table for 4… I was over it! Lol i love the old way of sitting a the same large table and getting to know new people… but not new ones every night! Lol have fun and Happy Anniversary!

Thank you Jim for taking us on vacation with you! It sure does brighten my mornings here in Kentucky to see y'all having so much fun!

Alabaster- Thanks for the ideas! I will have to try that next time. Roll Tide!

Just a regular old American plug LOL Worked well for my phone.

Cajuntraveler- Yes! You kinda have to bend down as it's low, behind the head of the bed/nighstand. The nightstand lamp is plugged in to it. Have super fun!

Was 19 on the July 23 cruise.

We "moved up" to a CC on the Infinity in July because we wanted to try it and because we got such a great deal on the cruise. So even with the upgrade... it was a steal. I would never do it again... lol. I would save the $100 and hit the casino! The welcome lunch was not spectacular at all... it was not relaxing for us as we were seated at a two top table next to two other two toppers so really we were a table for six and one man (notice I didn't say gentle-man) made such a huge scene when they offered him something to "drink" when he jumped up all 3 tables shook! Yelling "I don't drink" in the face of the poor waiter was really uncalled for because actually sir... you do drink... you may not drink alcohol...but you do drink... or of course you would be dead....LOL I thought there would be a dedicated embarkation line... there is not. But perhaps the times they provided us for check in were earlier than others? We had the 11:00 am time. I am not sure of the "upgraded" room location, we were deck 7 mid ship. The afternoon snacks were ok, but again in a ship full of culinary delights... these were nothing special. The CC cocktail party was fine, but with a drink package all our drinks were free anyway. We didn't get the bottle of bubbly and by the time we remembered we were packing up. We went to the Concierge Desk a couple times, but no one was working it so we had to go to the main guest services desk. The extra points are nice and perhaps on other ships there is a difference.... but it's not for me.
