The loss of caloric intake. Oh my, how will I survive.

Exactly my thoughts. I’m kinda glad that these temptations are being removed. I was worried it would be some more catastrophic to my cruising experience like limiting number of appetizers or something. I actually think the celebration cake is a good one. I never have liked the celebration cakes and always end up ordering another dessert and feel guilty about the waste of the food and the effort of those making those cakes. I think most others feel the same. I can see where some of these effect people but in all my cruises, I take advantage of few of them. 
 

i have spent the past two month getting my body cruise ready, and have two more months to go…. My hubby and I already made the commitment to use the fitness center every morning to offset some of the calories but this actually helps us out 🙂

Sorry but I'll disagree...over priced tourist trap. 

That's okay. You are probably right about it being over priced and a tourist trap but we have gone twice and really enjoyed it and it was convenient for us to get to 🙂  Generally we like to go off the beaten path, but sometimes we like to go and see what all the fuss is about. We will go again on this trip 🙂

Does anybody have any idea if the Playa Mazatlan is still doing day passes and if so what the current rate is?

 

I don't know when you are going ( if if you have already gone), but we go in October and were also interested in this option. I sent an email to the hotel and I will post their response. 

This is such a great thread!!!! Thanks for all the greta ideas!

We are doing the same itinerary on the same ship in October. I would also be interested in some local fare! Looking forward to seeing who answers 🙂 

I will say Cabo Wabo in Cabo is wonderful food, drinks and atmosphere!

Remember, no plastic bottles. Cans/cartons only. Last cruise I brought aboard 2 -12 packs of coke without an issue. 

Thank you for that insight! I was planning on cans but good to know in case of a last minute change.

Just now, mz-s said:

"On embarkation day, a small quantity of non-alcoholic beverages (i.e., sparkling water, sodas, energy drinks, juice, and milk), packaged in cans or cartons, may be brought on board and must be in the guest's carry-on luggage. A small quantity is considered a maximum of 12 sealed, unopened cans/cartons of 12-ounces/354-ml each or less, per person."

Thank you! Thats exactly what I was hoping for! We don't drink enough soda to make the beverage package worth it! 

Hey everyone, I have cruised for a while but it's been a couple years because of covid and I've heard there are a lot of changes. Does anyone know if Carnival is still allowing passengers to carry a 12 pack of soda on board? 

I am looking for the best recommendations of what to see in Rome! My 12 year old son will be with my husband and I. I think I absolutely want to see the trevi fountain, the coliseum, and the vatican… but I have no clue where these are geographically, what I need to tour, and what amount of time to expect to spend. Please, any help, and any suggestions are welcomed!

Could you please help me try to figure this out??? I have never been to Italy and we planned this trip 2 others times and had to cancel it but now we are paid in full and leaving in 107 days. The cruise line is sold out of the tour we wanted but since studying latin in High school 20 years ago… I have dreamed of visiting Pompeii and exploring it. Now that I finally get to do it…. I also get to share it with my son. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
