can we walk from our hotel in Long Beach to the port?

Are there sights and things to see along the way?

I know we could take Uber etc

But we will have several hours after we have to be out of hotel. Til we need to be at the port.

Oh that's good to know.

I see you have been on the Imagination 4 or 5 times.

Would you be able to tell me specifically where hubby and I could go to view ocean or port. Have a couple relaxing drinks.

Our day at sea is my 50th bday. I am hoping to get in a lot of chill plus drinking time.

I have emersed myself in pictures trying to see. It seems like one of the bars ( maybe called horizons) has a good many tables by the railing.

Would I be able to find any comfy loungers in any out of the way places.

Am I asking for too much? Lol

The cruise line we are accustomed to has become over priced. And I am terrified at the prospect of being on board and being miserable.

Thank you.

If we don't get a balcony are there places to sit and relax for lots of quiet time.

We have never sailed Carnival, on other ships I have sailed I don't hesitate to get an ocean view as I know I can find a nice place to relax and not spend the extra on the balcony.

Any help would ease my mind.

Thank you.

We are sailing in Dec. and I have been looking as well.

We have Marriot points.

Nothing seems extremely close.

As we were hoping to walk to the ship.

When you look on their website. They have one that is 1.2 miles from port but them when you google map it it says 2.5.

I can't recommend any. Never stayed. But they all look nice.

Sorry I'm having trouble navigating. I can't seem to find west coast. But I will keep looking.

can you walk from your hotel to the car I am cruise terminal in Long Beach

Hi, I have a never cruise on Carnival and I'm looking into a four night cruise with a Oceanview cabin . We normally do oceanview on a different line. My concern is finding outdoor space to chill and hang out in an outdoor space on a CDA will there be several options for my husband and I to choose from? And if so what are they?

Thanks for the pics and replies. So excited now !!!! Yea.

Wonky= only. Lol

Oh is it just railing. Not a wall? I wonky had a balcony on Disney. They don't have railing.

That's a little scary.

Independence of the Sea

Am i going to have a white wall or a clear wall on my Balcony.

Will i be able to see the ocean sitting down on my chair.

I have had both on a different cruise line , but cant figure out which it will be on this ship.

Deck 6 if that matters any

Thanks

We have a Balcony, But i have searched the Website and cant seem to find the answer to this question........

Are the walls White or clear on the balcony?

Am i going to be able to see the water when i am sitting down?

deck 6 if it makes a difference

Thanks

Does this mean no where.

We are new to carnival. Not to cruising. Where would one find nice quiet place(s) to sit watch ocean go by. And have a drink. Preferably open air. Maybe not too sunny. We are going on a 4 night don't want to spend all my time searching out the right place any suggestions would be awesome!

Maybe I am seeing the cost incorrectly. But I see one person said 6.50 a day for soda. But another place I thought I saw 20. But even at 6.50 a day that is near 100 for my soda for the week.

ThAnkyou so much for all your replies. Sorry for the error in my post about sinning. I was using a cell phone and no glasses.

I do realize that Disney cost more normally because they add in those cost. But my point of jumping ship was the cost. So if I am going to have to pay for those things that I like and i do like to iron my clothes and wash my panties. Then I may as well stay with disney. ?!?

I also like to mix drinks in my room and sit and relax on my Balcony. Maybe I am a Disney snob. Maybe I will give RCI a try. But will prob not be the 2 week cruise first go around with them.

I don't gamble either.

I'm a bit saddened. I had planned to jump the Disney Ship and swim to RCI. But after doing little homework so far I see that

1. They do not offer a place to iron of do laundry.

2. They do not allow you to bring bottles of water or soda.

3. You can only bring one bottle of wine per person.

4. And it seems getting anything to drink even a coke might cost be a bit for the 2 week cruise j was sinning on doing.

ANYThiNG. else I CANT do on RCI? Ugh.

Thanks for your help.

We definitley look forward to doing this at sometime in the near futrure

My husband and i have looked at these cruises for several years now.

I actually have so many questions.

We are not New to cruising, BUT new to any other cruise line except Disney for the mst part.

So these are my questions:

1. is the ship itself a good ship and is there Fun things to do with the group while on board?

2. How many stops does the ship make and do you take the bike off at each stop?

3.About how many bikes attend this cruise

4. can you talk to these people before hand, like is there a message board for this cruise other than here

Going over to the cruise site now to check things out.

thanks
