  1. Thank you to the OP! I was able to get the same rate, but added Go Better for a total of $519 per person. We got A2 Cabin #9038 with the larger balcony, drink package and $420 in OBC ($120 from the TA)!

    This makes 2 sailings booked on Infinity. Although, I'm afraid the February 2019 sailing isn't really going to happen. It's one of the sailings that have disappeared, possibly due to charters. Still holding out hope. That one was a good deal, too. Just not this good!

     

    Does this apply to all TAs or is there a special one I need to contact to get the deal?

     

    Thanks.

  2. My husband and I were on this sailing as well. We felt it was one of the best cruises we have ever been on and we have been on quite a few. The ship, our room, the food, the itinerary and the great group of friends we met made for a fantastic experience.

     

     

     

    Prime rib the last night was very good. Too bad I couldn't eat it since I was one of the many who got the cold/flu symptoms. I was with a group of over 240 fb friends and a majority of us are sick now.

     

    Waiter told me he has 32 seats in MDR to care for.

  3. Sailed this ship once before when it was Destiny + loved it. A little disappointed this time. Hate the new style buffet + the check-in for anytime dining a little weird. At least 4 areas of the ship had overhead leaks with buckets underneath + carpets soaked. Not good! Cabin safe didn't work, lights didn't work, + shower drain plugged up. MDR, Guy's, Mongolian Wok, Blue Iguana all good. Didn't care for the Italian at lunch but others said the dinner was great. Can't say enough about Ji Ji's Asian, it was FABULOUS especially the duck. Word of caution, when they tell you it's a little spicy, what they mean is, "if you eat this you will die". Shows all good. Ports of call, very disappointed in Aruba. Water dirty, town wreaked of raw sewage. Loved Bonaire + Grand Turk.

     

    What room / floor were you on? Where were the leaks? Sailing in a couple of months on the Sunshine - can't wait!

  4. We also are scheduled on the Breeze Journey cruise Memorial Day 2016. Very disappointed in the ship change for a couple of reasons. 1) Carnival did not even contact us to let us know about the change. I read it on CruiseCritic. 2) I paid extra for this Journey cruise (Bermuda) and our corner aft balcony room.

     

    When I called Carnival today they told me that all the reservations are locked right now until the switchover of reservations is complete -- in a couple of days. I will be cancelling our trip. I'm sure the other ship is fine but I was really looking forward to sailing on the Breeze.

     

     

    Definitely will take the advice and call carnival. Since we did a specific cabin, corner aft. And a 50 obc..and an oh your on the splendor doesn't cut it....I want my breeze!
  5. Did they have the holiday decorations up? I heard they were decorating the ship on Nov 24. We sailed the week before and really enjoyed it. Service was very good -- just finished my post cruise survey!

     

     

    We were on the Freedom this past week and had a great time but were disappointed in this cruise compared to the other Carnival cruises (2 others) that we were previously on. It seems the economy feel of this line is more apparent than ever before. The ship is dated and the service was not nearly as impressive as before. We were previously on the Liberty and Imagination.

  6. I was also on this sailing with my DH and another couple. We had faster to the fun (FTTF) so we embarked/debarked early - love this new option. Service was good all over but especially good with our room stewardess and the MDR staff. We mentioned the ice bucket on the first day and always had ice after that. Meals were good and really enjoyed the Steakhouse and Chef's table.

     

    Not very many kids on this ship - older crowd. It seemed like alot of people really dressed up for the 2 formal nights on this cruise -- fun to see this again.

     

    We have sailed many times with Carnival and always have fun. The ship is older but all areas are clean. Only complaint was that our room was a little warm.

     

     

     

    I was also on this sailing and the service was very good, the 3 person team in the MDR, the 2 person team taking care of the cabin and all the waiters on the Lido Deck and the lounges.

    I sailed with 3 others and we all thought the decor was typical Carnival and not unpleasant to the eye.

    The exterior of the ship was clean and white the areas that need updating is the Lido Deck pool and bar area but this area takes the most abuse.

     

    The bad - pizza and the poolside DJ's.

  7. I've never cruised the Carribbean in the fall/winter months and having trouble deciding what to pack. Looks like temps will be in the mid 80s so I'm guessing summer clothes and some lightweight fall clothes should work? Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has cruised in the fall months.

     

    Thanks.

  8. We just sailed on the Triumph this week and attended the Chef's Table. This was our menu as well. The Chef comes out to meet you at Dinner the night before to see if there are any special dietary requirements that he needs to know about ahead of time. It's a fantastic meal and the Chef was so interesting to talk with. He was a Chef on the Splendor during the cruise with the fire.

     

    The evening starts in the Galley with a Champage reception and appetizers. There is an additional fun surprise in the galley that I know you will all enjoy.

     

    After the galley tour, you head over to the room where the dinner will be served. For us, it was in the Library -- very nice. We reallly enjoyed dining and talking with our Tablemates. The Chef's Table is 4 wonderful hours of fine dining!
