Lol! I literally asked this question on FB like 10 minutes ago :). Per the responses, it sounds like the ships that have wristband technology, haven’t started it back up since the restart. So, no WOW bands as of yet… just the keycard

On the deck plan, it looks like room 1768 has a slightly bigger balcony. Can anyone who has stayed there confirm if it is indeed bigger? Also, if you have any pictures of the room or balcony, I’d love to see them 🙂

This is our first time departing from port Canaveral. I’ve done a bit of searching here, but couldn’t find what I was looking for… We will be flying in, probably around noon, the day before, in Feb 2025. Any recommendations on a port Canaveral hotel with a pool or beach, that has restaurants, and things to do/see nearby? For example, in Fort Lauderdale, we used to like staying at the embassy suites (before it went downhill), because there was lots of food options nearby, and we loved the walk to the lift bridge, and watching the ships depart 🙂. Preferred cost is under $500.

When I go to pick up my morning coffees and snacks, I use a collapsible nylon 4 cup coffee holder that I got on Amazon.

We did it for $99, and loved it!

Oh, I should give an update- they had them when we were onboard in Feb, on the first day 🙂. Now if only I can find the two I’m missing- Majesty and carnival inspiration 🙂

Thx!!!

Thx!

I am organizing my first slot pull for my Feb sailing. I am struggling to find out how to contact the casino host ahead of time, to notify them, and ideally get an end machine reserved and possibly get some trinkets. Can I ask the suite concierge to do this, after I get their welcome email? thanks!!

And, bring a pen with you when making your reservations, to update your list if needed. The app also shows your reservations, but I found it wasn’t alway accurate, so I would refer back to my sheet 🙂

sorrento’s pizza 🙂. (Note, we’re from MN, so our standards might be lower than, say, people from NY or Chicago ;))

On a related note- if we are keeping the same cabin for a B2B, should we notify someone? It’s a suite… should I let the suite concierge (or whatever he/she is called) know?

Oh, good to know! Thx!

I’m organizing my first slot pull, on Navigator, in Feb. I heard I should coordinate with the casino… any idea how I do that?

Thx! We will also have our concierge do this 🙂

We’re doing a B2B in Feb (7 night + 4 night). And the excursion selection for both is VERY limited. Our first leg at least shows all the islands, but the second one has only shown excursions for one of the ports 😞

Bummed that escargot is no longer there every night… however, I’ve really gotten bored with the old menu, and hope they move to this on the Navigator before we go next year. We’ve been doing mostly the UDP these past few years, since we had tired of the MDR offerings…

I am one of those people who get nervous about missing flights, and usually try to get to the airport 3 hours before boarding. Delta changed our flight home, to 11:50. What is the quickest way to get to the airport? Uber? Something else? Note, we will get off the ship as fast as we can (carry off our bags). And, since this is a special trip (25 anniversary:)), we are flying first class. So, I’m assuming, we will have special shorter lines at the airport?

We love quiet beach days with a good view and nice food, and really liked it! I am an early riser, and always try to get the “perfect” spot, so we were some of the first people to get off the ship, to ensure a front row seat 🙂

The short rib was the best we’ve ever eaten!!!

Even though it's included, we always give a little extra, since service has always been awesome 🙂

We try wonderland on every ship that has it. Initially, we'd just let the waiter bring whatever. Now we just request what we want. We order multiples from every section of the menu, except dessert, because we are usually stuffed by then, and want "The World" 🙂

On a related note... what do ya'll tip for drinks? I've been doing $1 per drink forever, but it feels like I should up it?

Oh, glad to hear that! We're doing a B2B in that room, Feb '23
