Well my early platinum check in would have been yesterday, I agree, but I just booked today, and then checked in, but still surprised all the slots before 12 were gone as only platinum could check in yesterday/today as others can check in starting tomorrow. 

We cruise on the 20th and our early platinum check-in was March 4. I was up just before midnight Thursday waiting for the clock to tick over and I was able to begin the process and was able to select 10am. I think perhaps you are a few days late and that is why your time is a few hours later.

I had the same issue and my card has a zero balance and a $15000 limit.. Switched to another card and went through.. my guess is they are having issues with Amex..

Still same issue going on. Couldn't get my AmEx with $10000 CL, zero balance, to work. Had to switch to a different card and it worked right away.

Very few cabins left on our upcoming Carnival Pride cruise. I would say they are getting closer to sailing full again.

I just completed online check-in last night for our upcoming cruise. It was to be available to do on 3/4. Last night at 11:59pm it was not ready. Refreshed at 12:00am and check-in was ready for me to complete. You have to fill out everything and once complete it will assign you a boarding zone. We got A01. To tell what zone you got just pretend you are printing the docs and you can see it in the PDF. We are platinum and was able to complete this process 2 days prior to it being opened up to the masses. Our cruise departs 3/20.

Our 3/20/22 cruise on the Pride has replaced Grand Cayman with Costa Maya.

Two separate main pools on Lido. One is much quieter than the other. Love the Spirit class ships.

My favorite is the Caribbean Iced Tea from Red Frog Pub.

Caribbean Iced Tea from Red Frog Pub. Careful, it's strong.

Were there any vibration issues in that cabin.   I've stayed in Vista suite 4237 on the Pride and it was pretty bad at night trying to sleep.

There will be some vibration during our cruise but we found it to be minimal. It was most noticeable during docking.

We have sailed in 4228. What a fantastic cabin. It is covered by the overhang from deck 5 so nobody can look down on you. Has the separate bedroom and sitting spaces. Also a nice walk-in closet and a huge vanity outside the bathroom. We would book this cabin again in a heartbeat.

We have sailed in 4228 and it was a fantastic cabin. Loved the two rooms along with the separate dressing area. The balcony of course was amazing. There never any noise issues at all.

Our cruise on the Magic in Oct has done nothing but gone up.

Chris the Flying Scotsman is great. Loved his parties in the atrium.

As Jamman said it is usually around 10am when they make last call.

I would definitely do it. That way neither of you has to sleep on the sofa.

It hasn't been available on any of our past cruises, but we'll finally get to use it on Horizon in a couple months. OK, so I know that you tell it how many people are dining, but when you do it through the app, are you assigned to your own table or with others?

You will be at your own table.

Have the bookings linked. When you open the app to do your YTD you will see their names. If not listed you can also search for their names. Simply check the box beside their name indicating they are dining with you. Then just wait for the notification of the table being ready like before.

Our last experience was to meet in the Red Frog Pub at a prearranged time. We were then escorted by a Carnival representative down to the tender as a group.

The person that won on our most recent cruise in October had very little hair on his chest. It was all about winning over the crowd.

We are booked in a Vista Suite on the Pride, I assumed we had priority boarding, as we had it previously when we booked a vista suite.  I noticed on my luggage tags it does not say priority, so I went back and looked at the description of the room, it also does not mention priority boarding as it does in the description for the other suites.  Does anyone know if this has changed and it's not priority, or has anyone recently boarded with priority with a vista suite?  Thanks.  

Your luggage will not say priority unless you are Platinum and up or have purchased FTTF. You will, however, receive priority check in and boarding with being in a suite. You should see priority on your boarding pass.

this stinks....

 

I was so excited to celebrate my retirement with a repositioning cruise out of New York, and for 15 days, and a Journeys cruise as well....

 

Yes I can book another cruise, but it will not be anywhere near the experience I was so looking forward to.

 

I am truly sorry for yall. We all look so forward to our cruises. I don't blame you one bit for being disappointed.

Extended balcony cabins on deck 4, Main deck, will not be obstructed at all by the lifeboats when looking down.

We brought telescopic ones on our last cruise with no problems at all through the airport or on the ship.

Easier to just purchase early bird check in.

We have been in 2470, which is identical to 2473, numerous times. Our friends that sail with us have been in 2473 many many times so I have been inside that room. It has a lot of open floor space. More than twice a normal oceanview cabin. It will have two windows instead of one. There will be some vibration when sailing and it will be more pronounced when pulling in and out of port. It never bothered us. This type cabin is one of our favorites on any Carnival ship.
