I'm pretty sure you can buy them, they just can't ring them up under your drink package. Did they tell you that you couldn't buy them?

Yes. Had to get a buddy to buy them. They said it had something to do with the limit and how they’d apply

Is the 101 ounce beer tube one drink? Asking for a friend. Fishbowls, pitchers? 

On Sunshine in December we could not even purchase the fishbowls in the Red Frog since we had the drinks on us everywhere. Nor could we purchase the draft tubes.

How do they keep a count of how many someone has at the Diamond/Platinum party?.....or that a loophole?  

On Celebration last month and Mardi Gras in December they had wine and champagne and a drink was on your card for use after the party. 

The only loophole we found was at the Diamond lunch it was open bar

We are cruising to Alaska from Seattle in July. While we've done over 40 cruises we've never cruised from Seattle so not sure what to expect with debark and we're trying to decide on flight times. 

Anyone who has experience with the Seattle port your input would be greatly appreciated. On the average do you think an 11 am flight is too early? (We are Diamond and we are travelling on an Elite offer so we will have early debark and a private car for the airport ride)

TIA

For anyone who has been on Conquest since they added the dedicated pickleball court, was there a reservation/signup system or just play when it was open? We played in the tournaments on a couple of the ships that have the sport court that they also use for pickleball and the only time you could play would be during the tourneys as it was also the basketball court. TIA

I was in an aft corner excel suite on the Mardi Gras. I loved the suite and the huge balcony with a hot tub, but would not have paid extra for the Loft 19 if it had not been included in the price of the Excel suite. But that's just me.  The spa was not very deep in the area.  However, I thought the Serenity area looked really nice.  With that said, we live in Houston and have a pool at home (that came with the house when we bought it) and barely use it so it may just be that we aren't really pool people.  

We are booked in an Excel Aft Corner Suite also. We have stayed in Havana Cabanas the last couple of trips and there were wristbands for Havana access. How is Loft 19 access controlled, is it a wristband? They did a pretty good job of keeping the Havana area limited to just Havana guests on Mardi Gras and Celebration. Thanks for any info.

They are black and gold really low chairs. Sit about 6 inches above the sand

We have done 1 Premier and 1 Ultra since September. They are no longer doing the welcome cocktail party but they are still doing games (Matilda, Dodge the Bull, Casino Drop) for people on the offers. On our Premier we still got the gift in our room and on Ultra we still received multiple gifts including the "big" gifts.

Premier gift was a glass water bottle. On the Ultra we got folding beach chairs and nice straw sun hats

The reservations for venues like the casino is the deal breaker for us. Having to reserve spots and be places at a set time takes away the relaxation and freedom from a schedule too much.

Sometime we use the gift, often times not, but its appreciated.  The small grey cross body bag is useful and we have given away Tervis/metal mugs to lots of people. I would love it if they would give out a nice power bank (not a little one but like a 10000 mah)

I want to send a surprise gift to someone sailing in a few weeks and wanted to get them a massage on the ship. The only option I can find is to book it in advance but I don't want to lock them in to a set time yet as things change.

Is there a way to purchase a spa gift card? (don't want to do a generic CCL gift card to apply to S&S)

Or if I book in advance can they change when they get on board?

Anyone know how to email or reach the spa ahead of time to ask these questions?

Thanks

We're on the Breeze on Nov 17. This will be our first Ultra after a half dozen Premier. I have 1 question, are the scheduled events only for Ultra invitees or invitees and guest or everyone who has 100 pts or more like a regular cruise? I know on Premier they include the Invitees guest in the drawings.

Thanks

If you get an cash at a table game there is a 3% charge. If you get it on the slots no charge. 

Thank you! We’re getting pretty excited.

Please let us know what the prizes and events are like this year. We're booked for Nov 17 on the Ultra on the Breeze.

Do the Aft cabins (not Havana Aft) have a lounge chai on them? I know the Havana Afts have a chair and a lounger but wasn't sure about the regular aft.

Thanks

The dress coed is listed on the Carnival website under FAQS. https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1093/~/what-to-wear---evenings

short version men can and do wear nice golf length shorts and polo shirts to dinner, they also wear khakis and button downs on cruise casual nights. Cruise elegant ranges from khakis and golf shirt to tuxedos.

Relax and enjoy

They change monthly. John Heald usually puts them out on the f book site about the 15th of the month before.

Looking forward to this Ultra cruise. We've done several premier and were on board during an Ultra (not part of the group then). This one worked out perfect for us we were going the week of thanksgiving with 21 people anyway and was able to switch to the Ultra and actually got cheaper rates for everyone than we had. :D

I have 1 if you're interested.

Now that they have secured the rights for the broadcast, they will usually have multiple games on in the sports bar next to the casino

I think it was the old menu - we only ate there once for breakfast but I don't remember seeing avocado toast. My husband had the broken egg sandwich (which is also available in the lido breakfast buffet) and I had the salted caramel pancakes, which were delicious!

Thanks that's actually the new menu. Old menu didn't have the broken egg sandwich or salted caramel pancakes :D

OP do you happen to recall if they have switched to the new breakfast menu?

Thanks

Could you tell me if they have the new or old menu for breakfast in the dining room on port days (new has dosa and avocado toast)?

Thanks

Following...on the Dream in a week and a half with our 10 year old and 4 year old

Hello! We just booked this excursion for our may cruise. It looks to be really new and no reviews yet. Has anyone been there yet or booked an excursion there? We are really curious to hear what people think. Thanks!!
