Very “old-school” but ship to shore service is still available via your stateroom telephone. There’s a per-minute charge billed to your on-board account, but for an important work call, maybe this would be a solution.

Yep used it once for a call that was about 10-15 mins, bill was about $100 for the call. Won't be doing that again..

We've just added the 5 day Cabo cruise out of San Diego for Nov 9 to our list, hopefully we are good to go then, if not we'll move it to another time... love the $600 obc we have now!

Yep, we have never had an issue with getting a table for 2 on any of our cruises

Thanks. In the past, old format, I was able to open the pdf at any point, before pd in full, to check for OBC and other details. Of course, the boarding pass wouldn’t be available. Not able to now.

Yes it does appear they have removed that option..

I have the old page pulled up in Chrome and the new page in IE

Once your in the booking you want, you click the Booking & Order Details link. On the next page you then scroll down to the red button, Review online Check-in and in there you can review and pull the .pdf docs

It does appear unless you have the balance paid in full you can not access any documents until that time

The area in red you pull down to access your cruises you have scheduled.. Rather than the old way of selecting from the tab across the top

Here is the new and the old so you can see the difference as soon as you log in

The only time I have been able to switch a cruise and not get a a penalty for it is when they canceled my Feb 2019 cruise due to booking the ship out to a private party. As soon as I found out about it I called and said I didn't want to cancel and I wanted the cruise the week before that was the same but different ship. Took them a bit of time to figure it out but they moved me to that cruise with the original price I paid and no penalty for it.

Table cloth is gone for normal dining, bread basket is still there and they change around the bread it seems during the cruise for what they put in it.

Picture of us at the table from April cruise and we had no issues with the table arrangements or no table cloth.

You can walk the ship and do your own tour, this is included if you stay at the QM. You can also I believe pay for a tour but we have found it much more fun to explore the entire ship ourselves at our own leisure.

If noise could be that big of an issue, I'd suggest booking a cabin between decks that have only cabins above and below you.

With that being said, we have had a cabin with the main lounge below us and didn't hear any noise from it. I'm a pretty light sleeper so....

Nice shorts and T-shirt or polo shirt will be just fine. Been dressing like this for years on the cruises and never had an issue

We are in PHX as well, we normally come in the day before and stay on the Queen Mary overnight and then just walk over to the ship in the morning for checkin. We park in the parking structure for the ship when we arrive so we don't have to do anything else the next morning. We have been doing this for years.

Any Suite guest gets priority embarkation and debarkation, but can't go to the cabins first thing unless you get the FTTF package. Suite and FTTF can pretty much check in as soon as they open up there is no set time for checkin and then you wait in your designation area in the new terminal until boarding. The new process is so much easier that they have setup. Really painless. Enjoy your cruise!

This

Just remember you stay overnight and for some reason the ship can not tender the next day, you will have to find a way to the next stop or home at that point. Not a good idea IMO

We had no problems on our Alaska cruise last year, brought back some Fish and Chips and then took it our room and ate on the balcony as we left port. No problems at all with that.

Either going to be Day 4 or Day 5 on your cruise

Go now as it's about to fall apart. Shame the city hasn't been keeping it up. It's a great piece of history. We have spent a couple of nights in the hotel when Disney still owned it. The ghost tour is very cool as is the walking tour.

Really? Just stayed there and its not falling apart by any means in fact they are redoing much of the ship and inside and out. we stay here several times a year and its only gotten nicer each time.

Was there 2 weeks ago on a cruise, dome not completed and still a few weeks away from what Carnival was saying.

We had an upsell email and I got a balcony cabin upgrade for an extra $10 for our cruise in April. I took it!

Wife and I did this in Cabo a few years ago. Tables sat 8, lots of fun making the salsa, margaritas (watered down) but still good. Here are a few pics

Moore Hotel in Seattle, easy to walk around downtown, prices are pretty good and cheaper than the other hotels. Quiet and clean. Had no problems when we stayed there last year.

We stay on the QM each time we are cruising out of LGB. Just booked 3 more overnights for upcoming cruise's as well
