Has anyone that has cruised recently to these locations used the Carnival Vacation Protection as their form of insurance?  Sailing the Luminosa Transpacific.  Thanks in advance!

Thank you so much!  One more question.....were the drink/dining charges in Australia or US dollars?  How about casino slots?

Can you please answer a couple questions for us......

Were masks required onboard?  If so, was it inside only?

How did they handle the covid testing on the back to back?  We are on a 4 day Airlie and the 22 day Transpacific so we realize things may be a bit different.

Thanks in advance!

We will be joining you on this cruise and have a couple questions......hoping some fellow cruisers may have some insight!

Has anyone checked into the required travel insurance?  Will the insurance offered by Carnival be adequate for the two stops that require covid insurance?

Covid testing for B2B.....we are planning to do the 4 day cruise before...will we be tested on the ship, or should we bring extra tests?

Will masking be required onboard, or is it just a suggestion??

Thanks so much in advance!!!  Looking forward to Oz!

We are about to embark on the 22 day Transpacific from Brisbane to Seattle in April......on the Carnival Australia page it says that "in an abundance of caution masks will be required in all indoor spaces unless eating or drinking and while in your stateroom".  Any recent cruisers have experience with this??

We are trying to do the check in for our upcoming cruise, and the medallion app won't open on our iPhones (cruised w/Princess many times and it's always worked just fine)......this time the little circle just keeps going round and round!  Is the app having issues or am I??  Thanks in advance!

We have an offer to do an Ultra cruise...... having never done one before, we are trying to figure out if it's worth the extra cost to book it, or would we be better off using a casino promotion for a "50 percent off" fare promo.....the difference is approx. $600 total for a balcony......any info would be fabulous!

Is there a way to track the medallions?  We ordered ours a month ago and we leave on vacation in a week.....however, Princess cruise isn't for 3 weeks.

I am seeing our OBC.....but when I go to purchase Cheers and Transfers, it wants a credit card.....are these items not available for purchase with the OBC ahead of time?

We just received the new DocGo offer for a $10 test on our March cruise out of Long Beach......it let's us pre register, but then doesn't allow us to make an appointment, has anyone been able to complete the registration?

Thanks so much Shelly!!!  I just didn't go far enough and it said "check back later"!!  Thanks to you, it worked!  Guess you have to be smarter than the app.....hehe!!

I can't find where to book specialty dining on the app?  We are elite and our cruise is fully paid for, but when I press the little "plate" button, it doesn't give an option for this??

We are doing back to back cruises....Majestic Princess out of San Pedro, and then Carnival Panorama out of Long Beach.....any ideas of how to get the testing done for The Panorama on a Saturday in December?  I realize we could purchase the testing kit, but worried about keeping a connection on the first cruise ship?!  Has anyone else had this situation, or are there any of you locals in So Cal that might advise of something near either pier?  Thanks in advance!!

Hi everyone......can you order casino cash as a gift for someone.....just looked all over and can't find where you can do such?!  I found the "bar" cash and OBC, but no luck on the casino.  Or......can I purchase it while onboard (hoping as a gift for DH).  Thanks so much!

Looking to cash in 45k points, is there a sweet spot for redemption? As we recall, there used to be a deal for 40k points= $500.....it's been two years since we even looked at it....hehe!  Thanks in advance!

Yes.....it's those Tuesday cruises out of Seattle that are the "hitch in the giddy-up"!  Our small airport does not offer testing, and we booked our flights to Seattle months ago.....our flight arrives at Sea-tac at 10:40, we booked the Carnival transfers out of ease.....not sure if we would have an hour or two to wait for results if we tested there.  Let alone, hoping they would have the rapid antigen since so many venues are on backorder.  Yes, given the PCR cannot be done over the weekend it would have been helpful to have 4-5 days.  We understand and appreciate the safety concerns!  However, we have spent hours trying to figure this out (with still no solution)....definately not a relaxing start to our first vacation in 17 months!

Thanks for all the replies!  Love CC!  We are sailing out of Seattle, and are flying the morning of the cruise since it's an easy direct flight from Bend Oregon.  Seems risky to try to get a test once in Seattle.  I have a note in to my doctor office to see if there's anything they can do.  The problem is the "tuesday" cruise.  The labs aren't open on Sunday that they send the PCR test to, they say the test wouldn't go out until Monday.  Thanks again!

Our cruise leaves in 11 days and there are no rapid antigen tests available unless we drive 3 1/2 hours each way.....and PCR test results can't get back to us prior to a Tuesday cruise.....any ideas???  There are no CVS pharmacies in Central Oregon, only 1 Walgreens that offers the antigen test, and due to the Delta variant, they are out of stock!  Oy!

Thanks so much everyone!!!  We are very much looking forward to a nice long cruise!  And yes, we are shareholders, and we're thrilled to hear that we would get the extra $$ for the 14 day cruise!!  And of course....the mini bar is the best part, so happy to get two set-ups....hehe!!  Thanks again!!!

We booked a 14 day cruise instead of two 7 day back to back cruises (it was sold out on one leg....not sure how it was available as round trip).....just curious if anyone has received the elite perks twice (mini bar set-up, internet minutes, $25 loyalty etc....).....our cruise history does show 2 cruise credits.

Thanks so much!

We are about to book a 4 night cruise but found a better price than the casino offer.....the casino offer comes with $50 freeplay.  My question is.... if we don't book under the casino code, are we still able to get the $50 freeplay?

Thanks so much in advance!

Are you able to get money from your card to play in the casino?  I know some cruise lines charge 3% to do such......

How do you secure waterfront dining? When I did our reservations online it didn't give that option. Thanks in advance!

Will this show on your reservation or do you find out once you board? This upcoming cruise is our 21st, but the credit is not showing on the personalizer.
