Megan, love your reviews. I am not one that likes to plan out my ship activities in advance as I like to wing it. Do you have to make reservations in advance for the shows? Is it possible to make them once on the ship?

Not sure about why they are removing the casino bars. Is it to reduce the people smoking?

Anyone currently on the Miracle that give us updates on what all was done during dry dock? I have heard rumors about adding a Shaq's chicken.

you can also get the fun times at the coffee shop. Go down to the restaurant and hostess will check you in on her tablet.

How do find out how many Elegant nights on a 14 day to Hawaii out of Long Beach, 2-19-23?

We chose sailing on the Vista instead of the Jubilee because of the Havana area on Vista. After reading reviews of the Havana area on the side most of my group did not want to chance it being too crowded or too small. Havana on Vista class ship is the best.

I love Havana. In fact if we have a choice between a ship with Havana or without we will take the Havana cruise. My first Havana Cruise was the Havana Cabana. It was great but we really didn't spend as much time on the Cabana as we thought. So the next cruise we did Havana inside room. It was great. We we just go outside to the Havana area during the day and there was always plenty of loungers or chairs. Bar service was great also.

I have had drinks on us in the casino on my 4 cruises and have not any problem getting service for a drink. I mostly order water. I do tip $1 per drink even for water. After a day or 2 the server will seek me out.

Just remember, if the second person in the cabin wants cheers, they will have to purchase on board. You cannot pre-purchase prior to cruise. Also, no requirement for second person to purchase.

For the slot machine you can download money from your sail and sign account directly to the machine at no charge. At the tables they charge 2 or 3% fee for chips.

I never knew we could order half portions. I will definitely start ordering half portions from now on. This way I don't have to explain why I didn't eat all my dinner.

We stayed in Hanava interior room and didn't hear any noise.

All of my clothes came out fine. I don't think they had a scent.

Your price should be the $2,098 + $1,530 for Cabana. $3,628.00.

You can add cash at the Kiosk. There is usually one by guest services and 2 on the level with the shops. If you add to much cash, you can get the cash off at the Kiosk also.

That is for a standard balcony room, not Havana.

Now that the Miracle is in Dry Dock. Does anyone know if they are doing anything more than maintenance and painting?

I didn't think Carnival did cabin guarantees in Havana area.

I usually wear a long sleeve dress shirt and slacks. I have seen slacks with polo shirts and nice jeans with polo shirts. I usually tell new cruisers that are going with us to dress business casual.

usually the guarantee rate is a regular balcony. Not a Havana cabana.

No you just check birth certificate. but don't worry, you can select the check in time and save it and not enter any other information. You can enter that the next day

you have to go to the cage and ask for free play chips if that is what you want. Otherwise it is loaded on your account as slot play. You can take half in chips and half slot play.

I have been on 18 Carnival cruises and have not witnessed anything close to what others on here are reporting. Count me as the lucky one.

Does anyone know what updates are being done on the upcoming dry dock?

I use the room service a couple times per cruise. Always late at night after leaving the casino. Some times I have food delivered to the casino. To me the late night choices are better now that they charge.
