We booked the Vista for October this year over the Jubilee because of the Havana area. Turns out the Jubilee would have been canceled so I am glad we chose the Vista. I agree with Susan, the interior Havana rooms is better than a balcony room because you are only steps from the Havana area.
I have only been to one concert at ATT, Guns and Roses. The sound quality sucked, lots of echoing, therefore, I won't go again. Was the sound quality better with the stage set up in the center?
Just remember to spin the slot a couple of times before cashing out. I did it twice without playing the slot machine first. They locked my card until they could scold me. Once I told them I wouldn't do it again they unlocked the card.
I have had both the Havana Cabana on the Vista and Havana interior on Panorama. Because of being so close to the Havana area an interior room works great. We are in an interior Havana room on the Vista in October. I highly recommend Havana on Vista class ship.
On my last cruise we took our grandkids. Twice in the theater we ordered 3 Shirley Temples for the kids. The first server took mine and my DW cards and put 2 of the drinks on our cheers and charged us for the additional drink. I was ok with paying for all 3 if I was charged. The second time the server put 2 drinks on cheers and she waited 5 minutes on her own and put the 3rd drink on cheers. This was my experience.
The offer will state if it is for you and a companion. With drinks on us you will still have to both buy cheers if you want cheers. No discounts on Cheers.
My last 2 cruises out of long beach, one a 7 day Panorama and one a Journey cruise, we were off the ship with priority debarkation and to the Long Beach airport by 10 am. We took a taxi which was cheaper than Uber and faster. I don't think you can make a 10:30 flight out of LAX.
I have brought a letter with us both times we traveled with friends of our kids or our grandkids. Carnival has a form on their website you can download. Neither time was I asked to show the letter. But better to have it and not need it. Plus the letter also includes medical power of attorney in case of an emergency.
@TxTeach79 Thanks for taking us along on your cruise. I love your attitude and humor. I will say a prayer for you to make it to November with your sanity still intact. You and your fellow teachers are the real heroes.
I am not a drinker. I had free drinks everywhere from the casino on our 14 day Hawaii cruise in Feb. I only had 5 or 6 drinks the entire cruise. I did get coffee almost every day and lots of bottled water.
