Awesome! thanks O2!

Can you bring a portable 12 inch fan for your stateroom? I have a fan that is both battery and/or 12 volt.

Thanks

I heard that on carnival patrons have access to ice machines on their ships. I will be on the miracle and wondering if anyone knows where they are located (not talking lido deck). We like to get our our ice bucket filled but often takes too long. Not that its a biggie and we have no problem getting our own...just like at a hotel. Also, does anyone know running price of doing a load of laundry personally and not by carnival staff.

Thanks

Hi All,

I really want to do a fishing excursion in June (13th-20th) and stopping at Cabo, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta.....any suggestion on the best from a cruise ship?...plus only 2 of us and we do not need private, but do not want want more than 10 as well.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Thanks! We don't get in until 10.30pm so not like we will miss much. Once again, much appreciated!

what service shuttle company is $17 pp from lax to long beach..that sounds like a steal and I am in nor rush.

We did not feel it until about our 3rd cruise one time. Now every time we ask room steward for a egg crate on 1st day, which is actually king size, and it is way more comfortable as well. We would not be disappointed if we did not have this, but no big issue or pushback ever. Everyone is different though.

Yes, actually drinks on us, dessert delivered to room one night and $$$. And I am guessing based on time in casino we got a comped Italian restaurant meal on last nite and some fruit platter 2nd to last nite.

I emailed to: casino@carnival.com

Hi Michael, > > My wife and are cruising out of Galveston on Sunday November 30th, 2014, booking #XXXXX stateroom XXXX. I was going to see what offers my wife and I get from the casino.

Not sure you will know unless on a specific promotion (either website or mailer), if you do not use a casino cruise just email them, give them your booking #, and they will let you know. I was on one last week that was not a casino cruise, but emailed anyways (like 3 months earlier) and they replied with dollar amount for wife and I. Also, make sure you bring printed copy of email as for some reason 1st 2 days they said I was not listed to get anything then on 3rd day I brought down the email copy and they made a few calls and got it. The past 3 or 4 cruises before I did not have to show email, so I am assuming this was an honest slip up.

Thanks....walking should be no problem. Maybe I will become a gringo also!!!

It looks pretty simple by turning left to Belize water taxi pier from the village where we tender too. Then take water taxi to Caye Caulker and back ($22.95 rt pp). Has anyone done this? We would rather be on our own time and not pay the extra money to be on ship excursions. We are there from 8:00-5:00 and any past experience going there or suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for both of your replies. I will check to see what the ports offer. I just did not want to get on ship thinking I would be ok, then not, then just put me in a bad mood because I did not know what to expect and had the bar raised to high.

I really appreciate the heads up and expectations.

Has anyone got just the basic wifi package on the Magic? I see different ones for different ships. I am needing to be on about 30 minutes a day and just wondering if basic is way to slow (we have a cove balcony). Also, If I buy package can I also use for more than 1 device?

Any feedback appreciated.

We cruised during the superbowl a couple years ago on Triumph. They had huge extras like you could bet on squares/each team had specials drinks/they brought finger food out to big screen you could get.....It was actually pretty cool and fun...especially the funny commercials also watching by the pool....

Trust me, I lost a lot more than I won....thats why I need win/loss statement...on same note last year I came ahead on carnival but offset my losses thank goodness to Oklahoma casino win/loss statement..lol

I never get a response from them..lol Any other direct contacts or suggestions? When I call you are on hold well over 10 minutes

I actually won a couple of decent wins this year on ship and have to file on my taxes from carnival casino this year....thing is I know overall I have lost more and needing to know whom I can contact to get a win/loss statement for the year on all cruises via carnival to offset. Does anyone have a email or number I could contact to request this?

Thanks

Think it would be neat to try that for once. I am thinking Bermuda has one and maybe Puerto Vallarto.

Thanks,

Thanks! I paid in full last night so may have to clear first.

I just booked a Triumph cruise for December 2 today. It did not give me a room number and then when I printed luggage tags it has TBD. When will I know my room number so I can print of luggage tags with my room number? Also, I booked on carnival.com

Thanks,

I am assuming free but want to make sure. Can you call another cabin on the ship and leave messages at no charge? I just want to make sure free as we have friends on other end of ship.

You also do not have to wait until last day to cash out your winnings. I usually bring a set amount of $$ for day then each day cash out and put in safe and at least I come home with something. I am afraid if I left it on my card I would eventually spend it..:) Also, last trip forgot to cash out and like 3 weeks later I had a check sent to me for like $23...totally forgot it was still on card.

Thanks! exactly the info I was needing. much appreciated.

If I need to do self debarkation do I need tell anyone beforehand? Also, can I go down to main lobby or dining room to get off early (room on Deck 6 and I assume the elevators will be packed)? just have a close flight to make.
