wow, embarkation sounded fast! What time did you get to port?

Spiked coffee in the morning, Irish or Chocolate Lovers would be my preference. A screwdriver or Bloody Mary at brunch. I kept it simple in the afternoon and evening, Woodford reserve on the rocks, wine with dinner. You can get water, and non-alcoholic coffee and they don’t count against your limit.

They have Woodford??? YEA!! I wonder if on all ships?

Thanks for scanning these in!! I will be on this itinerary next week!!

Not my favorite. The ship was full and a lot of people were complaining about not being able to find a chair. We had the room above the bridge with floor to ceiling window, which was very nice, but did not do well for me. Stomach got a little uneasy. Wish there was a pool in the rear. But just enjoyed being on a cruise. Would not sail her again; on to other ships I have not sailed yet!!

On a 4 day cruise you will pick it up on debarkation morning. Starting around 6:30. Usually in one of the lounges.

Thanks!!

What if I am on a 4 day cruise. one day at sea, next day at Cozumel, and one more day at sea then dock the 4 day in US. If I buy liquor in Cozumel do I receive it the last sea day? If so, what time?

we were in 2264 in January. The very first night during the welcome aboard in the theater we could hear a lot of bass coming off music. I found out later that during the welcome aboard they started a conga line that spilled out into the atrium bar area for a while. After that, all was quite. Loved the cove and being in that particular area.

Whatever. Not worth it.

 

The main point is the answer to the question that this thread asked, is if there's not enough space and there isn't!

Agree on both points!

I also buy the gift cards. Buy them throughout the year a little at a time. Took them to GS on our cruise in January and it paid for our Cheers program. Now that our local Kroger sells them, it will be so easy to purchase. Plus I will get the fuel points!!

Yes, for many months now. I log in and it always brings me back to the login page even though it states I am logged in at the top of the page. I just wait about an hour, play some games, go back to the Carnival page and Manage tab, and I am in. I have seen other posts where people are having problems.

So far I have been on three cruises. The last two I have come home sick. Starting feeling the effects on the last day of the cruise. I sanitize everything in the room and am very careful around the ship and sanitize my hands often. Unfortunately for me, I was diagnosed with a disease many years ago (no, not catching - only messes with me) that lowers my immune system. I know this and take precautions but would never let it stop me from cruising. I will deal with the illness when I get home! I already have my next cruise booked and can't wait! :D

We are also staying at the Intercontinental prior to our cruise. I think that I read somewhere that there is a CVS within a five minute walk. Do you know of a place close by to get soda and water? Thanks!

Like to know that also Kim.

Will will be staying at the Intercontinental in January for our 6 day Western Caribbean cruise on the Breeze. Looking forward to reading your review! Thanks for the Intercontinental elevator information!! If we are on an upper floor we will allow plenty of time for this. Have a wonderful trip!

Yes. It has happened to me several times. I just wait a couple of hours then try again and all is fine.

Not as recent as you want but we were there in January. All was good. Stay away from #4. Bad mildew smell to the point you could not stay in there. Other than that, watch you bill for your food and drink. Make sure you add it up when presented with the paper billing. Ours was off - benefiting them. But I would definitely do it again! We still talk about the great time we had at the beach. You look across the water and the public side is packed. At times, we were the only ones in the water in the Cabana area.

Awesome! I must pay off my cruise this winter. I also took advantage of the gift card promotion. This is great!

Here is the fine print on the cards:

"Carnival Gift Cards can be used on almost anything: towards the purchase of a Carnival cruise, activities/shore excursions, and redeemed onboard toward the Sail & Sign account for gifts, drinks, and fun. Using your gift card is easy but do not share this email, as it is the same as cash."

The cards I purchased indicate "This e-card does not expire." The promotional cards state "This is a promotional gift card and the card expires on 6/13/2015." That is why I applied the promotional cards first to the balance of my booking.

Thanks Cathysue62 for the "fine print"!!

Totally stupid question, I know....

but you can just use these like applying cash @ guest services onboard, yes?

:o

Yes, went to Guest Services while onboard in January and put our gift cards toward our balance.

YES! Jewel Dunns River is a beautiful little resort. Great beach (not huge, but very nice) super pools, and quality food and beverages. If I were to do an AI for the day (and no kids allowed) I would do Jewel Dunns River. Just had a group of 10 return and they absolutely loved it.

How crowed was it when they were there?

I stayed in 2264 and half of the balcony is covered by a lifeboat. I have a video of the cabin in the 2nd link of my Breeze signature below, but I didn't show the lifeboat :rolleyes:

 

I'll attach a picture of the view.

YES!! Booked while on board Sunshine this past January. The booking agent said I would like this room. Thanks for the response!

I had 2268 and our friends had 2272 (they had 3 in their room).

 

Both were perfect!:)

 

Is this picture from 2268 or 2272? We have 2268 and 2264 in January.

Did not realize you can check out an extra towel at the towel hut in addition to what is provided for you in your room. What time does the towel hut open on port days? Or can you check it out one day and bring back another?

Here ya go. Go to Stateroom Descriptions, then Deck 2.

Bought one in January with the water bottles. If you purchase, go to the lido bar and ask for a bucket of ice. They will give you a plastic round bucket filled with ice. The bucket fits nice and snug into the cooler. No leaks - unless you turn it over. I got it to take to the beach.

This is what I received yesterday.

Hi,

Rest assured the securing of allocation process has already started, but 2015 shore excursions (including FttF) have not yet started to get released online. This is a current work in progress, and you should start seeing availability (depending on the port and the particular sailing(s)) for 2015 sailings starting in May onwards.

Please feel free to check back then.

Wishing you a wonderful cruise,

Best Regards,
