Awesome!! Thanks for the link. It worked for me!!!

In my opinion, Galveston. You have a lot more options with different sizes of ships and itineraries. We have sailed both Carnival and Royal Caribbean. Love them both. We personally love the LOS. Both cruise lines will have a lot to offer your kids. Our son grew up cruising and loved both cruise lines (whose is now 27).  I would research the ships and see what each has to offer, but they all basically have the same thing. Different classes of ships may have a few different things to do or activities. I promise you will definitely be addicted after the first cruise. Enjoy planning! 😁

Thank you for the review! We are sailing LOS for the second time March 22, 2020! We love the ship!

We have stayed on the 3rd deck in 3549 and LOVED it! It was close to everything with no noise at all. We were by the elevators, stairs (which went straight to the casino and promenade) and the theatre. We would have booked it for our next cruise in March but we wanted to try out the interior promenade cabins this time. 

WOW, those are amazing and beautiful pictures. Gets me very excited for upcoming cruise in 5 days. 

Going in March, so following and looking forward to everyone's comments. Thanks in advance.

Which ship?

How much does this cost? My DH and I are really interested in this. Tried doing a search and couldn't find it and I tried looking on the RCCL website under my cruise planner to make reservations and couldn't find it either. I am sure it is operator error. :p Thank you!

You are going to have a blast....enjoy your week! I see you will stop at Costa Maya instead of Belize. CM is actually one of our favorite stops. It is very undeveloped out side of the pier...we like to take a taxi into town and sit at one of the beaches for the day...great local food and service for the cheap too! Very rustic but fun if you lean into it a little! Many people we know do not like Costa Maya, they want sparkly and new, you will not find this in town.

Thank you, fortunately we have been to this port before. Looking forward to stopping here again. We have had the opportunity to sail on the LOS sister ship FOS several years ago and are really excited. We were planning on getting to the cruise port a little later, but since you said it was quick embarkation, once you get in the terminal, I think we will head out earlier. Ready to start our vacation. :D;p:D:D:D

Thank you so much for your great review and awesome information. Gets us excited for our cruise in 5 days!

Thank you so much for the review. I am so glad you had a wonderful cruise and great experiences. Gets us excited about our cruise on the LOS in 10 days.

It is in the pier/ terminal area. If you enter the port/ shopping area and make a left you will see it. It is right beside a HUGE Finding Nemo statue. GREAT people and great prices too!

Thank you so much!

Awesome review so far. I am really enjoying your blog. We are sailing this same itinerary in a couple of weeks. You said you did a Mayan Healing Couples massage in Costa Maya, where did you book that or did you just do it when you got off of the ship. If so, where was it? Thank you!

Thanks for the review. Looking forward to hearing more. We will be sailing on the Liberty in couple of weeks on the itinerary.

Definitely agree with previous post, while at Cozumel a snorkeling excursion is a must. Cozumel is one of the best diving/snorkeling sites in the world. We actually scuba dove and snorkeled at many caribbean islands over the years and I believe Cozumel is one of the best places to dive or snorkel. There are many reputable companies in Cozumel to snorkel or dive with. The best snorkeling will be from a boat. Congratulations on your upcoming marriage!

Thank you so much NASCARGIRLY! We are going on the same itinerary! This helps us tremendously, plus it just gets us so excited for our cruise.

Congratulations! There are so many ways you can propose. A cruise ship is a perfect place to pop the question. In March my son proposed to his fiance' (his girlfriend for 6 1/2 years). Here is a link to his proposal.

Even though it was public, it was extremely romantic. We were blessed because her parents, several of our family members, and his dad and I where onboard and we were able to be apart of their proposal. She absolutely had no idea. Carnival Breeze and the CD Lee Mason did a fantastic job. My son met with the CD once we were onboard and they quickly planned the whole thing. As you can see it happened on a formal night so lots and lots of pictures were taken. The video were portions of Carnival's, my husband's and my nephew's put together. Good luck and again congratulations.

Same here, everything seems to be working, but I can't check in. Hopefully, all will be working soon.

Absolutely loving this thread! :D Thank goodness my husband and I are not the only lushes on the ship ;p. Making note of these ideas and the different drinks you guys like (yes, we have our priorities :')). We did the cheers package on the last cruise and absolutely loved it. We really like experimenting and trying different drinks and not worrying about the bill. We worked our cheers package about like everyone else...never maxed out, but came darn close.:o Nice to know they have Sangria...this is one of our favorite drinks. One of my favorite places is the Blue Iguana bar on the Lido...love tequila and margaritas (my go to pool drink). We usually get a glass of wine from the atrium bar before going to dinner and then when we sat down at dinner we would order another glass of wine because the bar service is a little slow in the MDR, so by the time we finished the first glass the other glass of wine would be delivered. Since we are only about 21 days from sailing, I guess we need to start conditioning our livers now, but heck we are trying to loose those last few unwanted pounds before we go, just so we can gain them back.

Loving the blog and review! It makes waiting another 222 days a little easier. Thank you!

Awesome review! It helps me make it until we cruise in March!

Awesome video! Looks like you guys had a great time. Looking forward to our trip in March 2018.

Loving your review. Looking forward to the rest. Thank you for taking the time. It makes my wait more bearable.

This is what I copied and pasted from Carnival's website.

The Passport Card

The passport card cannot be used to travel by air outside the United States.

U.S. citizens may present a limited-use, wallet-size passport card. The passport card will only be valid for land and sea travel between the United States and Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean region and Bermuda.

My husband and I used passport cards when we sailed in December, with no problems. We plan on using them again in March. I hope this helps.

Thank you so much for the great review and amazing pictures. Looking forward to sailing her in March.
