We don’t like how close the tables for two are either. It has the propensity to be awkward. 😂 We like to check out the MDR on embarkation day, to scout for two-tops that are relatively more private, or booths. We take note of the table numbers. After we check in on the app, if we have been given one of these tables, great. If not, then we try to ask the hostess for something a bit more private. It works for us. On elegant night though, we just take what we get to avoid crowding at the entrance. 🛳️ 🍽️ 🎉

Sorry this happened to you. Did you manage to stay for the whole dinner? I’m hoping they were on their last course as you were being seated.

It would happen to me too! 😣

Last night, I noticed the 1st upsell offer we ever received in our entire cruising history. 🎉 We booked a balcony guarantee for a price that fit our budget. The offers (shown below) would take us way outside of our lil vacation budget. So, we will not be taking any. 😏 Today I noticed an email that said we could upgrade for $92 per cabin! 🥳 But when I went to carnival’s website, the only offers that show are what I’ve already seen.😝 Oh well. At least I can join the crowd who has received an upsell offer. 😂

Found this if anyone is interested, muster locations
jemrtt replied to EngIceDave's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I found myself having to ask where our muster station was on Panorama, once we got onboard. Then I learned that when you are on the ship you can find out where your station is using the Hub app. I like that, especially in case of an actual emergency. But this is nice because we can learn this information 14/16 days beforehand. Thank you for the finding this. @EngIceDave -
I totally remember that!! It was a thick envelope, and we got real luggage tags too. 😂 9 days for us. 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

Wow, I actually searched the threads and found an answer to my question, without starting a whole new thread! 😂 I wondered which MDR is used for YTD in the Radiance. Thanks to @cruisin from vegas for asking. And thanks to @sanmarcosman for answering.

How to surprise my husband with a suite
jemrtt replied to cruisinqt's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Do it!! 😊 DH has continued his sweet surprises over the years. All of them special in their own way. Like others, I tried to surprise DH with an upgraded stateroom on a cruise. I usually handle all of the bookings. In Dec. 2007, we booked and OV. Later, I paid to upgrade us to a balcony. I almost made it!!!! He had no idea until we checked in at the port. The woman at the counter said: “Ooh! Enjoy your Balcony!” 😳 🙄 I avoided eye contact with DH until he couldn’t hold his laughter any longer. Then we both started laughing. 🤣 He appreciated my efforts so much that he went along with the “surprise” that was ruined in my eyes. Once he stepped into the stateroom he said in his best Broadway play voice: “Wow! You did this for me?? You love me…you really love me!” Priceless! 🤣🤣🤣 Don’t worry whatever you do, it will awesome and special! Enjoy! -
How to surprise my husband with a suite
jemrtt replied to cruisinqt's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I love the idea of a surprise! Good on you. My DH surprised me with a cruise to Canada back in 2004. He left a message on a VHS tape that I watched that morning. (yup, I said VHS) That started me off on a scavenger hunt around the house, eventually leading me to a half packed suitcase. Inside i found instructions to finish packing, and be on public transportation by a certain time to get to W 57 Street & 11th Ave in Manhattan. During the train ride I had to do a word puzzle that he created to get the combination for a lock. 😳 The boarding pass, and my passport was in the small front compartment of the suitcase which was locked. I was so scared I would miss my train stop, because I was concentrating so hard. 🤣 Once I arrived in front of the Helena building, I opened the compartment to find a my travel documents! Then I heard the horn of a ship! Excellent timing! I was jumping up and down in the street like a lunatic, and I didn’t care who was watching! I trotted up street to the pier and saw DH standing there with the widest smile. 😃 He said “I knew you’d make it”! 🤗 He booked our first and only aft balcony. I was overcome by his thoughtfulness. ☺️ Truly hope your suite surprise goes just the way you planned in your mind and heart! -
Sure would of! So in place of a cruise duck…hide a bottle of champs with a note! Nice! 🦆➡️🍾🥂 Enjoy your treat! @madamerkf

Just got a cyber Monday offer!

Yep, I keep checking our Booking and Order Details page as well as the To Do list in the planner, but nothing yet. Other posters on CC have seen their upsell off there as well. Been cruising since ‘95, and never once got a upsell call/email, etc. If we don’t get an offer, my feelings won’t be hurt. (I think 🙃 🙂 😂) Happy for all those who received an offer that was worth the money!

Just wanted to add a screenshot. FTTF is offered for the Jan 23rd, 4-day cruise out of Long Beach, CA. When I went to see what’s included in this purchase, Carnival added a note stating the following: (Note: VIFP Club Diamond & Platinum members do not need to purchase this package as these and other benefits are included as part of your VIFP Club status.)

🤣🤣🤣 That allowed me to have a healthy dose of laughter today! More than what the doctor ordered! Whoo!!!🤣 Thanks@Moviela

Yes, bringing wine or champagne onboard during embarkation is allowed. One 750-ml bottle per person, in the carryon. If they want to drink it in the MDR, a corkage fee will be incurred. If they prefer to drink the wine in their cabin, the fee is not incurred. They just need to bring a wine opener. They may ask their stateroom attendant for wine glasses to use. Here is a screenshot from Carnival’s website:

Thanks for posting your updates. Now I know where the look for the upsell offer, that is if we are ever offered one. In all our cruises, we never received an upsell offer that I know of - not via email, not a call, and not in my To-Do List. And I am the type that checks our reservations daily, just to be sure it is not a dream that we will be sailing. 🛳️ 🤣 Happy Sailing.

Kudos to you! We do airline sized carryons and a backpack for our 7 day cruises. For us, it’s worth it to be completely unpacked by 3pm on embarkation day. I struggle with the idea for an AK cruise, or an itinerary beyond 9 days. But I think if we plan to do laundry halfway through, we can do it.

Radiance - Looking For Quiet Place to Read
jemrtt replied to jemrtt's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Thank you. I didn’t know that. -
Hello! We booked an inside stateroom on our upcoming cruise. This is our 1st time sailing on the Radiance. Are there any quiet areas on the ship, besides the library, where we can sit, and read during the day? Are there any places on deck 3 with seating? Any other ideas? Thanks.

Glad you didn’t miss out on this cruise.
