Just another opinion. If you are doing it for the luggage option. Last 2 cruises we received our luggage with every one else’s even with 2 platinum tags on each bag

I go with dinner in PS. So Cal traffic very unpredictable. Others have said 2 hrs to LB. that’s a dream if there are traffic problems. I say go to Long Beach. Longer drive sleep a little longer but no stress in the morning. The other way after fighting traffic checking in you first stop will be the bar to settle your nerves.

Just remember it is a short cruise. Lots of partying. It is a great break-in but a 7 day is much different. Don t be afraid to walk into Ensenada and have a great time. Ensenada is safe. Stay out of the party spots. Many nice restaurants European quality

Just use common sense. I have traveled a lot in the Baja and the mainland. If you stay in the tourist areas and you use common sense you will be fine. Remember Mexico wants tourist dollars. They keep it safe in the tourist areas

I hate to start a negative response but my vacation starts when I drop off the bags and get ready to get on board. My complaint is not dropping bags going on but those who choose carrying them off. Departing for me is stressful but having folks carrying their bags in the conga line with all the attached items they purchased. Which slows down the line is my complaint.

I checked with my credit cards, Visa only covers $3000.00 trip cancellation per person, and MasterCard covers accident, but I have to call and find out if that's only for trips that have started. My concern is if we cannot start our trip, due to an unforeseen illness, that I lose would lose my entire cost of the trip. The $800, that I paid for the insurance, covers me for everything, I have had claims 3 times, the last was in July when my SIL had a heart attack in Seattle prior and to us boarding the ship. I recouped my cruise, my Daughter and SIL cruise, and she was covered for her out of pocket, hospital, doctors, ambulance and change of airline tickets. I never travel without a good policy, you just neve know.

i'm sorry sometimes they call the priority area Captains lounge, ect. Just asking for responses from folks who have been in the area/ lounge at the New Orleans port.. looking for how large it is. If it gets crowed with other priority folks, wedding parties, diamond, suite passengers
thanks

Quick question. Is the Priority booking area easy to locate and large enough at the Carnival port in New Orleans.

we will be in Miami in a few days for a cruise. Just wondering if anyone has had problems with pickup, at MIA or port of Miami
-
I read several of the menus posted with the new American Table. My question is can you still get a Caesar Salad when it is not listed on the menu as in the past.
-
Is there a special lounge area for Diamond and Platinum at the Port of Miami
-
Ok sorry if this has already been addressed. How do they enforce sharing????
-
I know hotels have been beaten to death but can a local or past guest suggest either the Holiday or Hampton. We are flying in the afternoon from the west coast for a pre cruise night . Looking for a hotel with nice restaurants in walking distance. I am familiar with Bayside but not other areas of downtown.

Is still vibration after the dry dock

Trying to calm nervous shipmates. Will be on miracle this next week. Reports show it will hit cabo our first stop. Any advise for calming. Anybody been on a cruise with real bad weather????
-
Our cruise partners on the miracle got a letter saying don t come to port until 1pm due to maintenance. We have not received one. Due you think this is a stagger lettet

Just found some member photos of a place called the Captains Lounge. Is this where platinum gold and fttf register and get their sign cards
-
Haven t been in Long Beach in a while. Do they still have a priority waiting area?
-
Just read that the first 48 hrs in the Lido was under Sanitary restrictions. We will be on Zuidy in July. Is this the health procedure?
-
Going to Alaska and have to make daily contact with care providers back home. I know in port shouldn't be a problem however on seas days i will still need to contact. Currently have Verizon, i know can get a one month global upgrade, however is there a ship's cost to tie into their system. If there is how much?

I would like to say your photos were great. as someone who has cruised a lot which means different to many people, I think I am in the 40plus club, your tone seemed to me as negative towards carnival. Maybe your expectations are too high. To me a cruise is how you make it. Trust me I have been on several all inclusive cruises and I can find things wrong with them,. not sure if you had great time, but please pay four times what carnival charges and then write a review with your current mindset of perfection.
