Book the rooms whichever way makes sense for you.  Once on board you can sleep wherever you chose.  You can go to guest services and get an extra room key.  One person in your party will have to carry around 2 cards.  Sail and Sign card and room key card.  No big deal.

@TxTeach79 The real question is what does @HelloItsMeB want to do?  I like the Horizon. 

Carnival serves Pepsi products. They do not serve coke.

I haven't been on a XL class ship yet.  Prefer Vista Havana class or the Miracle.  The Miracle to me is great because it never feels crowded.  Not sure I want to be on a ship with 6,500...

I have stayed in a Havana patio before and I loved deck 5.  Ended up rarely going up to Lido except for a burger.  Deck 5 has Guy's BBQ joint, plus, what they didn't advertise, was that the Ocean Plaza area had a small breakfast buffet.  No one really knew about this until late in the cruise so didn't have to fight crowds at the buffet on Lido. 

 

With the private pool area and all the other bars/amenities on 5, it makes it well worth it.  I will be cruising in a Havana patio room again in September.

They don't set up food in the Ocean Plaza anymore.  Stopped a couple of years ago

Been there. Done that. 

was it embarrassment or the envy of others.  

Good to have friends in high places.

you can bring one 12 pack of soda/juice/water per person on board.  Have to be in cans or boxes.  No plastic.  You can also order water pre-cruise to be delivered to your stateroom.  Or wait till on board and order from room service.  

@sid_9169 how were the pork bites and steak?  The pictures made them look good.

Just another question, if we want to take our grandkids (18 and 16 at time of sailing), can we put them in a cabin by themselves? I realize we may have to put one each,on paper, into a cabin with one of us and then switch when we get onboard, but would rather not. BTY I need to have a wheelchair accessible cabin, and don’t know how close we can get them to us. What do we need from their parents?

Yes you can do that as long as they are not more than 2 or three rooms away from your room. You could also book one adult in each room and then ask for extra keys once on board.

@sid_9169 @MeganGC1983 and all the other tribe cruisers, I want to thank you for my total lack of productivity today and the rest of the week.

I don't think it has anything to do with buying cheers on previous cruises.  All of my offers include drinks on us everywhere and I have never purchased cheers and only drink about 3-5 alcoholic drinks per cruise if I have the offer, zero drinks without the offer.

They do not have to purchase cheers.

Ok, I read this on the internet so it must be true...Bring that bad boy up to 88 mph whilst being chased by Libyans and next thing you know you'll be picking up Amy and I...or you'll be getting a ticket...could go either way.  But whatever you do, don't accept a date from your mom...

The very first date with my wife was to see that movie, September 1985.  Wow I have been married a long time.  Married in 1988.

That's why I'm in the car logged into Cruise Critic. May be here a while. 😁

That sounds like me and my wife.  I pump the gas, go in use the bathroom and then sit in the car waiting.  She actually shops.  Who shops at a gas station?

@MeganGC1983...inquiring minds, a/k/a nosy me, wants to know....is @Roscoe13 just as funny in person?

I have never met @Roscoe13 but I have a feeling he is toning down his humor on this board.  So my feeling is he is funnier in person

@MeganGC1983 I handle all the vacation arrangements.  Mr Megan sounds like my DW.  She is constantly asking me when our next cruise is, I have told here at least 20 times.  And then she always asks is this the one with St. Thomas.  She should know it is because we specifically picked this itinerary because she wanted to go to St. Thomas.

I do this a lot with work emails to my customers.  I type out what I really want to say, then wait an hour, then I usually end up deleting the entire email.

You can join at any age. I joined in my 30’s because I like to save money on gift cards. 😆

I had no idea.  When I turned 50 a few years ago, they started mailing me.  I didn't join but I guess I should.

You look like you are 20 years away from joining AARP.

How long have they had so many “cruise cash” options? I think it’s silly. Why would I give someone cruise cash but only to spend specifically on one thing? 

I have never used cruise cash on Carnival, but I did purchase casino cash on Celebrity because they offered a 10% discount.  I don't remember the limit.

And prank calls were so much fun!

I am not to proud of this, but when I was around 11 we found a pay phone that worked without putting a dime in it.  Needless to say my friends and I made a lot prank phone calls.

PLUS, everyone gets to see Patti in action, AND under the influence of Cheers! 😁

This may be an all time record for number of pictures that Patti takes.
