Would you rather have everyone who is sailing arrive at the exact same time?

 

We always arrive early, sometimes at 9am if we are getting Vibe passes

Nope- I would not prefer for everyone to arrive at the same time. However, on RCCL and Carnival, I have received an arrival time, rather than a "pick your own"... so I was not familiar with why they allow you to choose a time 2 hours earlier than they say they allow you to actually get on board.

Ignore that. We were on the Sky last year. We got there around 10AM and if you do as well, you'll be among the first there. You'll get through security quickly and be waiting upstairs by 10:30 or so. Ship will board somewhere after 11AM. We were on board at 11:10 or something like that.

 

I always take the opinion that its my first day on the ship. Get there early and enjoy your first day.

cool- thank you!!

Departure Port- Miami

NCL SKy

Can get to the pier as early as 10, but can't board till noon.

Was just trying to figure out why they even let you get there 2 hours early if you can't board till noon.

Why does NCL let you pick a time to arrive at the pier 2 hrs before boarding even begins? What's the purpose? Does that mean you'll be standing around from 10:00 AM to Noon when boarding begins??

Thanks,

I just got off the Freedom... Had chilled strawberry soup and asparagus too! Both were DELISH! Sorry to see these go.

Hanging out on the Lido deck now... Always recommend the MDR over buffets, but we REALLY enjoy the service as well as the food. The steakhouse was amazing. Excellent food and exquisite service! So worth $35 pp. We debated a second night there.

No way!!! Is this pretty much set in stone? Patriots are on at 1:00 and are NOT on that list :(

How do you figure out which night to choose? What if you miss something great in the MDR?

If carnival started giving double cruise rewards for singles who paid double, then people who had a balcony cabin who paid double the inside rate would want double credit also.. There are people that pay triple the cost of an interior cabin for suites, maybe more, should they get extra credit also... I do believe that Carnival should adjust there pricing for solo cruisers and only charge them maybe 150% instead of double, but if they started giving extra credit, that would open up alot of issues with people

I don't understand how this thread even became a venue for people's opinions. The OP asked a simple question about whether or not Carnival DOES give extra credit... the OP did not ask if Carnival should or should not or why or why not. Why does everything have to turn into a flame war. You might as well just come out with, "What?! Are you an idiot?!?" , because that seems to be the meaning of an answer like that.

@BobsFamily...

GREAT advice!!! Thanks so much for everything!!!

Thanks Scubagrrrl

My husband and i both have motorcycle endorsements on our licenses and we both ride... We REALLY enjoy riding and seeing scenery that way.

Looking to see if anyone has personal experience renting/riding in Nassau or Freeport. (Thinking about it more for Freeport though).

Anyone have any recent experience renting scooters in Freeport or Nassau? Heading out in 5 days

Thanks,
