One used to be able to buy Carnival Cruise Gift cards at grocery stores and I remember buying them years ago at Kroger/Fred Meyers when they were having a 4x points promotion. The 4x points promotion is on this week, however, there were no Carnival gift cards listed- only Princess- at the store or online. They used to have Carnival and Royal Caribbean. Maybe I've been out of the loop, but anyone else notice ?

Thanks for the explanation- I was interested in the itinerary because I haven’t been to Sitka and I’d hate to have them skip it. I live in Seattle so it’s an easy trip to port.

Let me know if the Sun is okay- I was just about to book a 10-day in May going to Alaska. thanks lyannea

Thanks again, When I was buying Cruise Next coupons way before Covid years, the only restriction that I was aware of is that they could be doubled for any booking 7+day and a balcomy or higher. and I used quite a few before covid.

Thank you !

So I tried to book 2 7-day Balcony cabins and haven't had any problems using 2 cruise-next coupons, until today. Did something change during the Covid years ?- it's my first cruise back. The first cruise 5/10-5/17 , the gal said that she could use two Cruise Next. The second cruise 5/17-5/24, the gal said that the system wouldn't allow her to and that I'd have to use a 50% off coupon, making the cruise $100 more than if I had used 2 Cruise-Next coupons. So I cancelled, till I can understand it more. Anyone have a clue ? Tanks! Lyannea

Know that there may be times that are difficult for you or your dad during the cruise. Unexpectedly, it was taking that first step on the cruise ship that brought me to tears, for example. Talk about it ahead of time and maybe find a signal, such as squeezing your dad’s hand or the like, to acknowledge how much you both miss your Mom during those times.

She was 5'1" tall. Family reports that 20 hours went by before being listed as "missing" If you google her name, more than one article, other than the Daily UK shows up 🙄 though a few articles list her as "plunging" to her death- weird way of reporting.

Can someone point me to any thread on Cruise Critic where clothing in the MDR is discussed and NO ONE asks How does a person's clothing affect the food you're eating ? I need to frame it.

Exactly. I'm trying to extend vacation time by adding another cruise to an existing one. Other than looking at cruise port schedules, like cruise mapper dot com or similar ones, it's time consuming.

The exact thing was said to me by porters- many times

Not to hijack this thread, but I wanted to tell you that you're living the dream of cruising for 134 days ! I'm hoping to plan this for 2024 and this starting to look at the legistics.

I believe that you’re right. if you want to sail to Alaska or the US East coast, where there are stops in Canada , you have to be vaccinated to cruise .m. the expensive ArriveCan will provide a QR code, which will then be linked to your passport.

From what I’ve seen, both vaxed & unvaxed can have severe to almost no symptoms. which may be the reason that the CDC is leaning in the direction it is. People with Comorbidities/pre-existing conditions, whether vaxed or unvaxed, seem to have the more severe symptoms.

You’re right- I won’t be going to Alaska or the East Coast where the ship stops in Canada and I’m okay with that. I’ll be going on RCCL and NCL this winter, as per usual, from LA to Mexico, which I usually do in the winters, which is okay with me too.
