If it does not appear in your online check-in docs, then it's digital for your ship (Vista) now.

I don't believe Carnival will deal/speak with you at all if you booked through a TA.

Occupancy is determined by the number of persons the lifeboats can accommodate.

In other words, some cabins might sleep up to 4 people but that is "capacity controlled" and the total number of persons on the ship cannot exceed the lifeboat capacity.

Most of the time we find the Carnival sales to be anything but. Sometimes better to wait until after the sale to book.

So true

It is not noisy in cabin areas on Lido Deck, the hallways are the same as every other deck. And, there are cabins above and below.

I always do Lido deck balconies. Best deck on the ship.

You know its much easier to lob a ridiculous question out to the masses and see what happens.

 

This particular fisherman is getting quite good at it.

You can say that again !

(Plus this is how fake news gets started - look at responses)

I have heard and read that they are building a new water park at HMC, anyone know if it is open or when it plans to be open? is there a cost?

RCCL is building one on Coco Cay, aka Little Stirup Cay. Perhaps this is of what you've heard.

You have your cruise lines & private islands mixed up. RCCL is updating Coco Cay as above poster stated.

Uncle Google could have straightened you out.

I'm thinking of carrying on something larger next time though, so what do you all do with your carry-ons til you're "allowed" to go to the cabin? I don't want to lug everything around.

You lug them around until about 1:30 PM when they open access to cabins.

 

But' date=' our cruise is not until 3 months, and life being what it is, my wife could get pregnant by then (we're not trying, but, well....)

 

So, if we did get Cheers now, and she were to become pregnant before the cruise, would we be able to get our money back? I've looked for the policy on their website, but couldn't find it. Can someone point it out?

Unless Carnival has changed their policy, both occupants of a cabin must buy Cheers, so if you need to cancel her, you will both have to cancel.

I know this doesn't help now, but I would have invoked Carnival's guarantee in a heartbeat - get off at the 1st stop, they refund you and fly you back for free.

Having done 2 1/2 days without my suitcase in Scotland last fall due to Aer Lingus being inept in both losing my bag and their lame , hap hazard process to find it, I won't go thru that again.

Always buy travel insurance, always invoke your guarantees. Insurance will reimburse you even without receipts to prove every piece you bought - you just have to be firm with them.

Do a mock booking to see if you come up with the lower price & the OBC.

Then check your online account to see if you have the low price, the $480 OBC and the $100 OBC (if it shows in the mock booking)

Good info, thank you.

 

To piggy back, what kind of tables does the casino have? DH like Craps.

That's what we always play

If you want to "earn" a chance at a future cruise discount, give the pit boss your card for tracking but play with cash.

I have never had a casino transaction appear on my S&S account - cash all the way.

I thought the Horizon has the new Wifi system that is much faster than the old choices - probably at a higher price :confused:

Yep, Carnival usually uses pier 4

Ugg - why do folks always come here to post this sort of stuff as if they don't know the answer already ?

Just call Carnival - they will get it sorted out and give you the answer you need & deserve.

Do those passengers get free use of water sports equipment to get to their cabins?

+10 Best post in the thread !!

Could we go at 5:45 and then again at 9?

Why not ? There is no limit on the quantity of food you are allowed to consume.

Make a stop at the Lido buffet between 5:45 and 9 :o

Also available for a September, 2019 cruise (17 months out).

I have always bought FTTF previously, but at $90, not sure the benefits are equal to the cost.

Carnival sure is shaking things up with all new timelines for features.

Price reductions are not the only important way to discount a cabin. Price can stay the same but freebies get thrown in like free gratuities or specialty dining... new bookings only. I doubt Carnival would match any of that stuff for existing bookings.

You must be thinking of another cruise line, Carnival never includes the perks you are referring to.

Lido Deck balconies are the best.

Cove balconies are only on Deck 2. No balcony cabins on Deck 1.

Makes sense, I stand corrected.

You will have to choose between getting the lower fare or being able to deal directly with Carnival.

People not letting you get off the elevator or stopping to talk right in the middle of the main walkway is my pet peeve. I hate it! WHY are you standing where everyone is trying to walk????

People being clueless or indifferent is one thing, treating everyone else as if they were dirt is quite a different thing.
