Just off the 5 day Connie and asked to upgrade the 123 promo drink pkg at 2 diff bars. Both said had to go to guest services. Luckily the line was short.

Loving the review so far! I tend to agree with your description of the food but I'm O.K. with it-I don't have to cook it or clean up after it. Luckily we are all certified divers so that takes care of our excursions in every port and one reason we like this itinerary. Other than the diving, I've never been that impressed with the Caymans. It reminds me of Naples, Fl. Glad you liked your visit to Tampa/St. Pete. It is a lovely place to live :D

Comparing Naples, Fl to Grand Cayman,,,*** are u smoking?

Been in both V8 & V12 on several fantasy class ships. Great rooms. Have V40 booked for Paradise in Jan. Advised my pcp " no upgrades". One time unbeknowed to me, until we arrived at check in, they "upgraded" us to an OV on deck 4. Not an upgrade to me. Like the V rooms.

Can anyone get some "inside" info when Cheers goes fleetwide. Am sure their are cruisers on here with some pull at CCL. On the Paradise 1/12/13. Thanks Stormy

I love this program and wish it were on the Dream when I go in two weeks...

 

I also opening this thread to get new information hoping for additional ships get this program only to find people complaining and calling people that want the program alcoholics and saying getting their monies worth, etc. Mind your own business, its ok to post opinions, advice and such but to assume that one is an alcoholic or going to "ruin your vacation" because they buy this program just mind your own business it doesn't concern you. Nobody can tell anybody what to do.

 

Cocktails that we drink are $8.95 plus tip, so drinking 5 drinks would cost the same amount of money but the good thing with this program is that I get to pay for it in advance and not have that at the end of the cruise. I rather give Carnival my money upfront and finish the cruise with not that bill to worry about.

Thank you. Stormy

Maybe there should be cruises for drinkers and cruises for those that don't. Sorry to piss anyone off if I have 10 drinks all day.

If all those that don't think it's a good idea for me to have 10 drinks aday. Stay home or take another cruiseline.

For me, having kids wear nicer clothes during formal night is less about the experience of those around them but more as an opportunity to teach our children about what we expect from them. As a parent, we teach our kids by words and actions. I truly believe that it is worth the effort because it will help them later in life. When my kids were young, we didn't take them to nice restaurants because we knew they were not old enough, but now that they are of age, we enjoy taking them and teaching them manners and courtesy to others.

 

We are the only teachers our kids will have throughout their lives and I think we do them a dis-service if we don't take every opportunity to teach.

 

Off to work but there was my two cents.

Should be more parents like you. The world would be a better place.

OP very nice informative post. Need more of this on cc. IMO

Everytime I go to X website, think need a new computer. Had the same problem printing xpress pass. Stormy
