Thank you all for your replies.

Thank you. I have e-mailed NCL and have not heard anything yet.

Hi:

I was trying to log my mother in law in for upcoming cruise and there was no option for enhanced drivers license. It is a NY license and we are traveling on the Jewel from Seattle to Alaska and Canada.

Does she also need her birth certificate?

Thanks

I ordered mine on June 5th and they were delivered on June 10th. I would definitely look into it. I have always received them within a week.

I have never seen free cards - just the 10% discount. Still a very good deal.

The $100 are available right now. Just bought some!!!

I got married in 2008 and my passport doesn't expire until 2016. Have taken at least one cruise a year under my maiden name. I have not had any problem. I did change my Drivers License and SS Card and will update passport next year.

Fake 2 - 3 day cruises on Carnival Ecstasy that I booked while on the Victory Will use when I find something I like in 2017

MY DH thinks I have a problem!!!

We were in a cove balcony on the Breeze in January. We then went on the Victory a few days later and had an aft facing balcony.

First time for both.

Absolutely loved the cove. Very private, very close to the water. Never heard any noise from above.

Depending on the time of day, we did have some sun on our balcony.

The aft balcony was also wonderful. We were on deck seven so had afts above and below us. Kind of reminded me of laugh in with people poking their heads out at various times. There were plenty of times when we had shade on the balcony.

The views were amazing and the balcony was quite large.

I would definitely book a cove when available (have one booked on the Vista!!!!). If no cove I would go for the aft facing.

I don't think you can go wrong with either ome.

Thank you so much!!

Does anyone know when the Freestyle choice sale ends?

I did a search and read quite a few posts and this was not addressed. I thought I would just ask.

Thank you for the information.

Does anyone know if there is a limit on the number of drinks per day per person?

I just refreshed my screen and now it shows correctly. Weird.

I was just on the Carnival website. The loyalty program benefits state that platinum and diamond will receive 1 liter bottle of water. The free drink coupon is not listed at all for any level. I hope it is a mistake:(

What is the closest liquor store to the Port of Miami?

We are doing a back to back to back and wanted to get wine for the second and third cruises.

Thanks for your help!!

Hi All:

We are taking our second NCL cruise on the Sky. Can anyone tell me about cabin 8078?

Thanks in advance!!

My DH and I are doing a back to back to back. Does anyone know id=f we can use the gym on turnaround days?

My DH and I have been on 11 cruises and numerous land vacations involving the airlines.

We have rolling duffles from LL Bean and have only had minor ripss on one of the bags. The wheels are somewhat recessed and we usually have close to 50 pounds in each.

I feel very lucky after reading some of your experiences!

If the cruise you want is not available - book something else. I booked 2 three day cruises and changed them to the cruises I wanted when they were available. The onboard credit will reflect the length of the cruise you eventually book.

Also the deposit is far less on a 3 day cruise. I don't know how it will affect the friends and family vouchers though.

I am platinum and booked early saver. I changed ships knowing I would be charged $50 per person.

Before you book a certain fare you should read all the restrictions that apply to that fare. It is clearly written IMHO.

I was on the Valor in January. They did not have a future cruise desk then. I don't know if they have one now.

The big advantage to booking a cruise on a cruise is onboard credit that you will receive on your future cruise.

My DH and I had a BX guarantee on the Breakaway June 8th - we ended up with 9848. Balcony was not huge - but we had no trouble having drinks and snacks.

Hi- I have never seen this discussd on these boards.

My DH and I have inflatable stand up paddle boards. We are allowed to bring them on airplanes.

Wanted to know if we can bring them on the ship. They weigh about 25 pounds and will fit in our suitcase. If we can, I am assuming we would need to deflate them when returning to the ship.

If anyone has any information it would be appreciated.

Thanks

We were on the same cruise. We left our hotel (Comfort Inn) at 11:10. Walked the 1/4 mile to the pier. We got in line and were given # 14. We were in our cabin by 11:50. It was my best boarding experience ever!
