    I'm from Germany and I can tell you in Kiel you will get the central quay at "Ostseekai" LP 27 or 28. Warnemunde will be Pier 7 or 8, also really central in the small place of Warnemunde. In Stockholm you won't pass the archipelago, you will berth at Nynäshamn, it is not directly in Stockholm (about 45 minutes distance with bus).

    Thank you! That's a helpful start! Any must see/do/eat in the German ports?

    @FionaMG  shared this thread with our roll call. A year ago when we booked another San Juan port cruise I decided to do as you are doing and look around for a walking tour. But I didn’t find options that I thought were ideal for us (for example I didn’t need to see both forts set a long distance from one another) and we wanted to mix in some shopping areas and some amazing food finds that I had run across in my research. It seemed to take forever to compile it and lay it out, but I finally pulled together a tour with all we wanted via google maps (I called it the “three amigos take San Juan” 😂). I don’t know that it would fit your needs, but I am happy to share it. Have a great time!

  3. We are platinum on carnival and love it but would like to try something new. I've tried looking but wondering what all is included (dining, entertainment, etc) and maybe most importantly how good is it for little kids, 2 and 5. We would probably be sailing the Seaside Thank you in advance.

  4. Our daughter has a life threatening allergy to nuts and we've found that Carnival has been by far the best cruise line for those suffering from allergies. On RCCL, we actually -TWICE- had our waiter bring my daughter meals with nuts, and when we spotted them he's like.. "oh, sorry". RCCL is best at the buffets as they'll have the ingredients listed, although all buffets are inherently risky. One note-- we did go with friends who had a child with an egg allergy, and it seems almost everything (bread, etc.) on RCCL contains eggs, where he was allowed to have a lot more on Carnival. NCL was a bit better than RCCL (they took orders, etc-- so the sit down was good), but at a dessert buffet when we asked what was nut free, she pointed at a pie and cut us a piece.....then we waited. Sure enough, she put the cake cutter in the same water with all the other cutters-- pie in garbage. When cruising Carnival, we meet with someone every night who takes our order for the next night and they've been flawless wherever we dine (anytime dining) as they have her info and bring what she ordered. They'll even make things that normally have nuts, nut free, for her. Our daughter is the one now who asks that we only cruise Carnival as her comfort level is high. Overall I think they all do a good job and I wouldn't hesitate traveling with an allergy over the concern of contamination, but more based on what is actually available to eat as a result.

     

    Good luck!

    ty, good to hear. We know for sure she's ana to eggs and fish but can have baked eggs above 350 degrees for 20 mins in small doses. Corn is the hardest one to avoid for us.

  5. Here is a website with some of the apps. I didn't care for the one I downloaded. I did end up making myself some cards to give to the waiters.

    Thanks, I should figure out how to make these.

  6. My first dd went at 6, 9, 12 and 18 months, 2nd went at 6 months and will be going again in Feb. Cruising is different with kids for sure but I personally think the best type of vacation with small kids, no cooking, cleaning, driving etc. I actually think they helped me slow down and enjoy the details of the cruise, not like when it was pre kids and I always had a drink in hand and that was the main focus. Although I do miss the serenity deck.

  7. My daughter has gone with us for 4 cruises at 6, 9 ,12 and 18 months. The best excursions were with a beach or pool we did one bus tour in Aruba with her and it was horrible, too long and to much having to sit still. She loved the actual ship though, even at 6 months she was intrigued by the music and all the commotion.

  8. Looking for experiences, we're booked at 6 on the Sunshine for the first night of our cruise with our 3 yo and 6 mo daughters. How much do they let you order? Any perks to reserving the first night like other for fee restaurants on Carnival?
