Here is the link i was talking about

Thank you. I thought it was a new promotion they were doing for cheers!

What is the in-room beverage package?

When I filled out my price protection form, there was a spot to select yes or no to "include fares where carnival picks your room". I selected no because I did not want a guarantee although it was lower than the rate I was trying to price match to. If you do the form and select that option, carnival shouldn't even look at guarantee rates to match you as. However, you can try to call back to speak to a different rep. I have heard this sometimes helps. Good luck and I hope you get your credit!

Not sure about the cruise cash, but you can purchase gift cards before your cruise and apply them to your account instead of carrying large amounts of cash there. The debit/cc can be added to be used after the gift cards. I have heard, but never gotten any, carnival gift cards through aarp at a discounted rate.

If they would only "enhance" the package to do a "staggered" liquor package like they've done in the ports with check-ins, I would consider cheers. I don't drink heavily enough to make the package as it is worth it. Set a $20 package with 5 alcoholic drinks a day... or better yet a total of 5 per day times the number of days you are on your cruise.

Example: $20 per day for a 5 day cruise would give you a total of 25 drinks to consume for the cruise... only 3 drinks on a port day? Have 7 on a sea day! Have all 25 drinks your first three days? Pay for the rest of the drinks you want the last two days... Almost too simple to make sense, right?

Take meeeeeee!!!!

In Nassau, we did blue lagoon island dolphin encounter. It was AWESOME and not as expensive as Carnival's version. We lucked up and were the only people in port that day. Only about 20 or so people went to the island. Our group of 6 were the only ones with that dolphin encounter and the trainers let us spend a lot of time with the dolphins. Next time I go back to Nassau, I will go back to Blue Lagoon Island for their beach day excursion.

The look on the faces of your friends/family when they see the cruise ship on THEIR first cruise!! Got to experience that last year in May with 3 first timers.... this May I'm going back with 4 new first timers!!!

Now it's called the Sail Away package and it has a different bag and towels. I hear that if something sells out you're either a) out of luck or b) get a replacement. I wonder since Carnival is calling this package another name if we get this one? We sail in 37 days.

Just got off of the Fascination on Wednesday, the deluxe tote package I had ordered was there waiting for me, just as it was described when I bought it. [emoji4]

It's back as the sail away package and back to $96.... glad I got mine at $76 😊

I can't remember the name of the guy in our role call wanting to share a cabana with someone and I am being too lazy to look... perhaps he is still interested in sharing if that is something you want to do???

I have never seen HMC in such detail!! Tell Patti I said thanks so much! I am only 7 days away from sail away on the Fascination and 10 days from being in that paradise!!!

Even an experienced cruiser likes to find reviews of older ships and when we booked this quick get-away on the Fascination I looked for cruise reviews and had a tough time finding any newer ones on this old girl, so I thought I'd post a quick one for those that are sailing on her soon.

Awesome. I'm following. I have 9 days to go!!!

We ordered the strawberry one for some friends on my first cruise. It was pretty good.

I've boarded today and have great news....Fascination has the new WiFi packages. :D

 

For the 4 day cruise:

Social: $15

Value: $35

Premium: $60

Hope you are enjoying your cruise. Do you mind giving us details about the program when you return? How well it worked, etc?

Yayyy! I celebrated my first ten dollar credit... and later ended up with $25 more. I love anything I get.. it's free money!!

Found your review as I am considering a Triumph cruise in January. None of the pictures on the first page are working though. 😳

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up who is following along with my review. I live in Kirkland, Illinois. Our neighboring town of Fairdale was destroyed by a tornado tonight. 90% of the town is gone. I'm sure many of you may have seen coverage on the news tonight. It hit about 7:00 pm. We are a small, right knit community so this is devastating.

It may be a few days before I am able to post any more photos. Please pray my friends, neighbors, and community [emoji120][emoji120][emoji120][emoji120][emoji120]

Will be praying.

You did not just say that! :eek: (First sentence)

You're Welcome. Be sure to give them enough notice. Contact them like a week or so ahead of time and then you will need to make a follow up post with John Heald to confirm everything

Will do!

The private party for our meet and greet was free. You just have to contact Carnival a week or so prior to the cruise with your date, time, and how many people would be attending. They will do their best to accommodate your request.

Thanks so much!

As I mentioned before in my review we had a huge roll call so we wanted to have a Meet and Greet. One person in our roll call had contacted Carnival about a week before the cruise with a final head count. She asked Carnival for a lounge onboard and she asked for a certain date and time. We asked Carnival for our meet and greet to be on Monday (our first day at sea) for 2:00 pm. They honored our request and we were put in the Liquid Lounge nightclub. Carnival posted it in the Fun Times

Thinking about trying this for my upcoming cruise... how much is the cost of a private party like this? Does carnival charge per person at the door to the lounge or does it have to be prepaid? Thanks in advance!

 

 

I have our Funtimes from this cruise. I could take a picture and post if you haven't gotten a hold of it .

Would love to see these!!
