i will be on the Legend on Easter. Will they have a Church service?

Thank you for the great review and pictures. I have read your reviews for years and enjoy them every time. We will be on the Legend in March for 15 days to the Panama Canal.

Thank you for the great review and the great pictures. We are leaving in April for 15 day Panama canal cruise on the Legend.

We have been in a Royal Suite 3 times on Royal Caribbean and we have never been escorted to our room or been invited to dinner with the Captain :( We will be in a Royal Suite again in March this time on a 15 day cruise. Maybe we will get lucky this time. Much smaller ship.

How was it? We are planning on going in June and someone posted it was horrible but it gets good reviews on trip advisor.

Has anyone been here in Cozumel lately?

We have booked the FTTF for our May Cruise. Some people on here have mentioned that the FTTF tags are orange. I printed my luggage tags today and they are green. Do they put the FTTF tags on at the port?

Don't forget that it is expensive to get from Houston to Galveston. Cost me an additional $400.00 for the 7 of us.

I have sailed both. Allure by far is the better ship. Dream was more crowded with less to do. Price was higher too. No real comparison.

We chartered a 40ft boat for the day. They will go where we want. They will purchase any drinks we desire but of course we must pay them back. It is all day. Since we have 7 people it works out to be less than $100.00 per person and no crowds and if we get tired of stingray and want more time snorkeling we can or we can go to the starfish sight and the beach for awhile for as long as we want. The hard part will be all 7 agreeing on where and how long we will go.

I didn't pay in advance. I wouldn't do that. My problem is trying to find excursions for a celebration and 7 of us. Nativeway in Grand Cayman was very nice and we changed our date and time. We don't pay until we get there. I can't get the people at Nachicocom in Cozumel to respond, but I only have an $11.00 per person deposit on them. Hilton in Montego Bay changed with no problem. Just frustrating when the other 6 look to me for all their fun days on shore. Its a cruise and we will have a great time.

Just got an e-mail changing our port days. I spent weeks getting all our excursion in order just for them to change them all. This one will cost. I booked a $600.00 excursion in Grand Cayman for all day and now it will still be charged for all day and we will only get 1/2 day. Oh well, I just had to rant.

No! Once you get a balcony you don't go back. I love sitting out there in the morning drinking my coffee and before I get ready for dinner having a coke or a glass of wine. I guess each to his or her own, but I am now an official balcony girl.

With Carnival's loyalty program do you get more credit when you stay in a suite?

We will be in Montego Bay on a Carnival ship. Our family of 7 would like to do the tubing and blue hole excursion. Does anyone know of a good tour company? How far do we have to travel from Montego Bay to this excursion?

This may sound crazy but my family has done the stingrays before and just want to skip it this trip. We want to snorkel and sit on a beautiful beach. Does anyone have any suggestions for a tour company that will do that.

Thanks

June of 2010 my son and daughter-in-law got married with 20 other family members on the Carnival Destiny. Wonderful trip.

With the pro excursion tour was the beach rocky?

13 days Allure of the Sea :)

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your time and effort to post these. Helps make our trip that much better!

Tatay,

Thanks for the info on this plug. I just ordered one for my June cruise. Looks like it will be useful on cruise and at home. Thanks.

Like so many others, this was our first cruise. I remember we saved forever and watched love boat every night. Boy were we ever shocked at our interior room size. We fell in love with this ship and with cruising. I too think it is still my favorite as it was the only one with just my husband and I. I think it held 800 guest. We left from San Juan and had 6 ports. I think I still have pictures and I will post them in a few days. I remember our waiter Toby he was so helpful as we were in our 20's and broke and he helped us every night plan for the next days ports. We played bingo everyday at 3:00 with another couple we met on the ship. My husband was playing basketball on ship and the ball went overboard while docked and he went down and retreived it from the water and climbed up the rope. Crazy man didn't know they would just get another ball. He is a spoiled cruiser now.
