2 day testing is here.

I see we had the same idea to check the boards lol.

A few years ago we could schlepp our own water on board. When that ended, the reasonably-priced packs of water were introduced. That's how I remember it anyway.

I checked my photos of Jan 2020 Freedom cruise: MDR chairs have no arms. 

I see that Dream is headed to Marseille for a paint job, any speculation or info on any other updates?  The Dream class is my favorite class of ship, however I have not actually sailed Dream (have sailed Magic and Breeze).  At the top of my wish list would be to add Red Frog Pub.

Sailaway Day!  Always exciting.  I hope to sail on Dream - I like the Joe Farcus decor.  Thanks for the photos!

They are about the same , same designer did both ,,The Breeze in the same class is different , It had a different designer , It is very nice ,,, 14 cruises , even on the newer ships , Breeze is the best of Carnival 

Agreed.  Breeze is the best I have experienced so far.  Vista was just a little too big and too busy.

We had an aft balcony deck 9 on Vista, and dark-thirty every morning there was some noise as the crew moved chairs and washed down Lido above us.  We laughed it off, it only lasted a little while.  We knew to expect it.  The advantage of being on 9 (full shade and privacy provided by the overhanging Lido above) much outweighed noise factor.

Cheers on the Vista a couple months ago, I would say all the fruity/sugary drinks were indeed weak.  But I am used to making drinks at home with 2 oz. of 80 proof.  Even when switching to "gin on the rocks" or some such, it was just way lots of ice, not much alcohol, for my taste.  So, the best bang for buck I think is the Parched Pig IPA or equal, 16 oz can at 6.2 percent which equals 2 1/2 oz. of 80 proof alcohol per can!  Two of those in quick succession, I could definitely feel.

As one of the minority of cruisers who don't think coves are all that great, I'd say moving up to deck 8 for cheap is a good move.  The ability to swing open the partition and make a longer shared balcony is a plus also, in your case.

I have never been to Alaska and will be be on the Legend April 29 - May 6. The ports are Jeneau, Skagway, Ketchikan and Glacier Bay.  What are our chances of seeing Bears, whales, eagles, other wild life and the Northern Lights? Thank you

I am on my husbands page. I am hoping there is someone out there who can help me. I just booked a cruise to Alaska this May, with a friend. We are traveling alone. Neither of us have been to Alaska.This cruise is in honor of her husband, who she lost 5 years ago. It was their dream to go after he retired. He passed within 6 months after retiring. So I want this to be special for her. She is on a walker, all the time and uses a wheelchair some times. I have no problems and can push her. She wants to go on the train in Skagway. I have looked at several excursions and can not find anyone who has been on a walker.  I believe that if she was in a wheelchair all the time this excursion is not possible. My question is how hard is the excursion where you ride the train, bus, and do the gold camp tour? She believes she will be able to climb into the bus. Is the step up into the train very high? The excursion is not listed as a wheelchair able one. The excursion we are looking at is listed as the Best of Skagway-Rail Summit, Trail Camp and Salmon Bake. I am willing to even hear of other excursions that you may think she may enjoy. She loves seeing and hearing about the history and sights she is at. I took her on a cab ride in the Bahamas, which she loved. Thank you all for the help.

We sailed with three adults in 1214 (port side equivalent to your 1217), this past April.  The porthole cabin was a good value and plenty big enough for us.  Hope you find the Breeze to your liking - it is (so far) my favorite ship.  I am glad I was able to sail Breeze twice out of Galveston.

I am not the OP, but the salad bar is still open on sea days in Serenity. On Miracle a few weeks ago, the gift was a blue blanket. 

Thanks for the info!

Glad to hear you had a good Vista cruise - my son and his family are sailing on that ship today, and Dear Wife and I are booked for a March Vista cruise.  We have two questions:  Does Vista still have the salad bar at Serenity, and do you know what the current platinum/diamond gift is?

Thanks.

I turned platinum some time ago, and have always had my luggage when I first opened my cabin door.

 

I wheel my one piece of luggage on the ship myself.  It's never been late, or gotten misplaced or lost.

 

I have found other luggage (inc. those with priority tags) outside my cabin though, and notify my cabin steward so it can get re-routed to its owner.

BINGO.  That's how you do it.

I went ahead and explored the offer - in my case it was to a balcony on deck 8 aft (but not an aft wrap or anything real special). So I declined. Stickin' with the Cove.

It won’t change your cabin without you choosing one and completing it. Go ahead and take a look. Although I would prob stay in the Cove Balcony.

Thanks! I would probably go to a suite or some such, but not just to a regular balcony.

I received an email upsell offer, $40 to move from our Cove to a balcony on a higher deck. When I clicked on the link, the page that came up wants me to fill in a form and click "submit". Am I locked into losing my cove if I DID click submit, or can I back out if I don't like the balconies available? I really don't think I'd give up the Cove at this point; I am just curious how this process works.

That ship tied the whole fleet together...

Found this thread and subscribed today. Thank you for taking the time to share! Coz/Belize/Honduras is maybe my favorite itinerary.

Unacceptable. I will not be booking a cruise this way.

burrito:

jalapeno tortilla

shrimp

rice

red onion

green pepper

guacamole

pico

I should have a t-shirt printed with the above and just point to it; I've had the same burrito often enough.

Thanks all for running this info down - the given reasons do make sense.

I checked mine and it doesn't have a spot for adjusted points.

I clicked on "My Cruises", then "Print Cruise History Details". That's when I saw it.
