My dream cruise was when my ta was going on a cruise and it wasnt a carnival cruise so he told me go ahead and book and transfer it to him. We never got it transferred, so it's still booked direct. I tried to add a pin number, just never worked out to transfer. Might be a way to transfer later to a pvp though.

Better make sure your insurance covers weather if you miss your flight. It happens. I saw earlier brillance ots couldnt get into tampa earlier. They missed flights today. Mad scramble to rebook flights.

Idk about that, I dont think I'm a tuna fan. Allure had tuna with sliced avacado. I just wanted the sliced avacado lol. I'd eat craisens.

There are ports of call boards here on cc that may be more specific to what you want to know. We dont even know your ports of call. If I want to do private and my roll call isnt doing a group private for a excursion I wait until I arrive in the port and pick something last minute. Always plenty of vendors with last minute excursions for cheap.

It's very close to what it came out at. And I grabbed oct 12 on harmony for 8 days and was surprised to see dec was higher for 7 days. I did pay more for allure dec 2021 but not apples to apples, did a higher category. Harmony is doing 6/8 once a month thru nov 2024, then it stopped, and then a few days later finally released dec 2024 .. higher. I've booked as soon as they came out all 3 years. I booked 3 dates in nov and dec 2023 and think that's too much but vs 2024 a good deal and I'm a sucker for deals. Not much change since they came out. Dec 2023 and dec 2024. My friends always want the same week so I track that week only. We book as soon as our TA can. You can see starting inside and balcony prices below. My 8 day oct 2024 only about $20 less but 1 more day. So yes I was surprised when dec came out and took a decided jump. Some of us just want to cruise then.

Further out should be cheaper to me. ..when it first comes out. Not restrained to me. Everyone says book early.

I've read here on cc either just bring the test or a picture of the test. I'll bring both. I'm on radiance to Columbia in march.

Idk if this is a good reason to book air2sea flights .. just read this ....."Currently on Brilliance. Dense fog has us locked out of the Tampa Bay. Lots of people are going to miss their flights. So glad we have travel ins and that we did Air to Sea!"

There will be other places to get the free lemonade, a cafe or sorrentos the pizza place. The specialty coffee is Starbucks... not to be confused with stand alone starbucks which is also on some ships. Allure had both. There is a hot and cold menu of coffees. Yes like starbucks. Most places will have red bull and different waters for grabbing. I had to go to the vitality bar at the spa to get vitamin and power aide drinks. ..though they did have the power aide on carts on ice on port days to push selling it when you were getting off the ship.

Maybe I was burned out on carnival and rcl food but I enjoyed ncl food a lot. Thought it was better. ..though could be just because I needed a change.

Perks matter less on carnival. Laundry is a big perk for carnival or priority boarding, so others will board and debark before you. Other than that no biggie. Less is included but the pay restaurants are less expensive. Drinks you either need to buy the pkg or pay for each drink. No option for them to be included unlike celebrity. More fast food during lunch and it's good and free. I eat guys burgers but not the ones on rcl. Stir fry is free for lunch on carnival though the line is slow as each one is cooked by itself.

This was better. As you mention, everyone got double pts. The one I mentioned diamonds in dec you had to be at least diamond or you didnt get double pts.

Rcl came out with dec 2024 on harmony more than $200 more than what you can book dec 2023 for same weeks before xmas. I took it because friends booked who fly out from calif. Used to be when rates first came out they were lower than closer in. I guess we are adding to the problem by booking but the week before xmas is when they like to be home for xmas. Inside dec 2023 $460 vs dec 2024 $580 pp Balcony dec 2023 $602 vs dec 2024 $723 pp X 2 since I'm solo. It came out higher than what they themselves offer the previous year. Just seems odd to be higher than the year before, same ship, same iternary. MSC is building a new terminal in Galveston and might give them some competition.

Thanks. I guess I missed it. Didnt realize it would be under restaurants. I'm blind.

There was a diamonds in december a long time ago. They got double pts. I wasnt yet diamond so didnt help me.

Is there some place to see the room service menu? I couldnt find it in the app or on a paper in my cabin.

If only going going gone sale wasnt gty and solo cant book I'd agree with you. I see a great price and then put 1 pax and the rate zooms.

It would be such a let down if you went to a place like this and ordered chicken or that oriental lol. Glad to see you guys had some local fish and shrimp. I'll be there oct 2024 .... so long away. Harmony 8 day does nassau and coco cay. I'll have to remember this place to eat.

Probably plus 18% taxes.

Check in at 45 days, I check in about midnight, just me and take the earliest time. The shows fill up, especially around 8 pm. If you dont care about what time you get no hurry. PS I read today shows opened for booking for feb. I saw dec 1 shows opened to book for jan.

If you are still diamond, it's a push to that 340 solo discount. I added 4 legs on grandeur last may to get there early, though everyone says it's not worth booking extra to get there. I wasnt a fan of grandeur, I too am a fan of oasis class. I thought allure was really beautiful. Just did it a couple weeks ago, dec 4 and dec 11. Couldnt apply solo discount I got in sept. Had to pay final before pts posted. .. that's another thing I didnt know. Can only be applied further out to cruises before final payment that dp340. I pushed for it, but it sounds like you have more to go.

Look in your planner, the refreshment pkg cost should be listed. Is it hidden because you both have the drink pkg. It shows my oasis at 24.99 per day. But yours may be different. They will have to cancel the drink pkg and you wait for a refund and pay now for refreshment pkg. It's good for fresh oj, vitamin drinks or different kinds of water, lots of other things. Do you drink specialty coffee.?

I did b2b allure and it was 5 pm for early dining. Too early. I did the WJ a lot plus they didnt give me a permanent seat. Failure at the supervisor level. I asked first week if they could assign me to a table week 2 with other solos or couples. He claimed done. ..I was the 11th attached to a ten top with a family of ten. Never got fixed. Was not impressed with Mdr operation. How can you think being 11th at a family ten top ok? Not my family either. The only bad thing about allure imo.

I did spirit to alaska round trip out of seattle for ease of getting there and home. Everything people above say isnt worth it. I was on spirit and it was a journey cruise which may not be the case now. They had a naturalist onboard and she would tell us what to look for the next day. I'd say my favorite cruise or close. I saw 2 glaciers and whales and lots I enjoyed. For me it was still worth it to just do the 7 day round trip cruise. And on carnival. ..though carnival was close to free last summer and I didnt go when the airfare was about 1k. I like bargains and seeing stuff on a shoe string I guess. I love seeing glaciers. I did some national park on my own where I could walk to some waterfall and see that glacier. Dont think I'd have made it on the carnival excursion that had limited time there. Rained cats and dogs. Still memorable.

I just posted a deal alert a week ago on a rate that showed TX discount out of Galveston. I dont check NY so wouldnt see it.
