I was hesitant about Freeport, but on my last cruise we ventured to Bananna Beach through a ship excursion and had a wonderful time.

Do you remember what time the 'welcome show' was last night. I'm getting on board next week as you leave. I'm trying to book the steak house around the first night's show.

For those that have booked Atlantis as a cruise ship excursion, ours through Carnival seems a bit short. I’ve heard that it might be possible to stay later, but we would need to arrange a taxi to bring us back to port. That sounds fine to me, but I’m wondering if anyone can confirm this is possible.

I just got back from a cruise on Splendor and did the $200 ship tour to the glacier. I found out that the ship can sometimes get close to the glacier and sometimes it can't even make the corner to catch a glimpse. It really depends on a lot of factors that are unpredictable from sailing to sailing. If it's anywhere near your budget I would suggest doing the tour. I didn't regret it and saw it as a one in a lifetime experience.

I took the deal for interior cabin on the July 19th sailing for $35.00. My wife couldn't go with me so this will be a solo cruise. Airfare from Alabama was staggering, but the overall cost of the trip was still very reasonable. I even got $200.00 onboard credit, which I didn't see coming.

I booked an interior guarantee this weekend for an upcoming Splendor cruise and I've got a quick question. I noticed that the cabin category was listed as "IS Interior". I've seen 1A, 4A through 4H and so forth, but I can't find my cabin category listed anywhere. It may be because it's an unassigned guarantee, but I'm just curious.

Are there any good shared shuttle services that service the port? I was considering using the carnival transport but wondering if there are any other options.

Thank you hallux. That thread really answered my question. That new smoke stack system sure took up some real estate.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone heard what happened to the mini golf course on the Breakaway. I'm just wondering if they have given up on the concept all together or have other plans for the space.

I've cruised from New Orleans before but this time I'm looking for a hotel option that has a kid friendly restaurant within easy walking distance. We won't get into town until 5pm or so the night before the cruise, so all we are looking for is a nice dinner without much effort. We're just looking for casual dining - no white tablecloths or dressing up.

I sail on Harmony in 30 or so days. I went to print my luggage tags and I noticed that the website says “luggage tags pending”. This is a new one on me. Has anyone experienced this?
