I upgraded from ocean view on deck 2  to balcony on Lido deck for $20 and was able to keep all OBC.

But don't you have to access them through the Carnival phone number? That doesn't seem to be working currently. 

I email mine and he calls right back.

Happy that finally AA changed their policy and now is allowing those people who booked before March 1st the opportunity to get credit for future trip.

I got through to my PVP to leave a message, but she's only responding to email.  I can't imagine what these PVPs are going thorough right now.  I'm sure they are beyond exhausted.  

My PVP likes me to email him with my questions and then he calls me as soon as he has the information.

Several airlines have announced waiving their change/cancellation fees for the time being -suggest checking your airline...

 

American Airline will not allow a cancelation with giving a credit if you bought your ticket before  March 5th or 6th , I forget. This doesn't make sense to me.  Delta Airlines is doing the exact opposite. They are allowing cancelation with credit only if you bought your ticket before March 5or6. They are both talking about the economy tickets. I bought mine months ago, so if I cancel my cruise I will lose the full amount $350.  so confusing and upsetting.

Not for us. Guests go ashore at 8:15 and back on board at 4:30.

 

We’re not going to bother doing much. Our son has never wanted to do elegant night, so as usual, we didn’t bring his khaki pants. Well now he likes the menu for our first elegant night and wants to go. He has nice enough shirts, but not the pants. Does anyone know if there’s a store nearby in Nassau that might sell khakis? I know it’s a long shot because it’s all souvenirs and T-shirts, things like that. If not, no big deal. He’ll learn to prepare for it next time. 

I did goggle men's shops in Nassau and a few came up that you could check out. But really, even on elegant night , I have seen men in collared shirts  and dress type shorts. Enjoy!

I happened to book yesterday for an April 4 cruise on the Vista.  I haven’t seen a letter yet.  I wonder if you had to have booked earlier.

Yes, you had to book earlier. I forget the exact date.

Have a cruise on the Breeze 3/21. One of the stops is the Dominican Republic who just apparently confirmed its first case. 
 

By this point I think we are gonna cancel for future cruise credit or else we would lose everything but 25%. 😩 

 I thought if you canceled so close to the sailing date you would lose all your money.. 

The Happy Hour on embarkation will either be at the Red Frog or the bar near the Casino. 

Only the people in your cabin could board early, unless son and daughter are under 18. 

Yes, they do have a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving. Also they showed the parade  and football game on the big screen. 

I would print off this  rule from their website in case  they are questioned.

They are served right off the grill. You can ask for medium. No tip necessary. 

I have researched this for you on many websites. There doesn't seem to be any beach massages. They do mention some stand alone spas. Good luck!

Are the sauna rooms free also.

I would ask another friend. Tell her that she would only have to pay you the fees and taxes, since that's the only part you would be getting back. If not, ask your original friend to pay her part!!!

Hey, if no one answers you can just google it. It isn't hard to find. Good luck. 

Yes, there is a closet with hangers.

Yes, they had a variety of tea bags near the hot water. But I would bring any of your favorites. Enjoy! 

You can call your Carnival agent and give number over the phone for payment.

It is correct.  Your Time Dining is between 5:45 and 9:30.

They are all the same.  It's really the location that differs them. Close to music? Close to bathrooms? More quiet?

Yes, Christmas decorations, special holiday program, Christmas carols led by cruise director and snow in the atrium, special Christmas turkey meal, free champagne on Christmas. 

Glad to hear everyone was happy and thanks for the update.

Thanks for the informative review.
