Press 4 for the casino at sea option. I had no trouble rebooking for 2021 on my April 12 cancelled cruise.

I called and rebooked a different ship for April of next year and did not have to put a deposit down or anything. Will have just a little FCC left.

Ok thanks was not sure since it stays on the Mississippi river for so long. Thought it might take several hours before it opened

What time does the casino open when leaving New Orleans?

We had the FTTF on the May 7th sailing aboard the Glory. We were not taken to a special room. We waited on deck 5 like everyone else. They started with self assist and it was chaos. They started with deck 1 then deck 2. We had an early flight and was really getting worried. This was our main reason for buying FTTF. Finally they announced groups 1,2,3 could leave we were group 2. So must depend on the ship

Just off this ship on May 14th. You will love this room and if you have the same steward you will want to take him home.

When we got to the airport our flight had been delayed an hour. So no problem. We would have made the 11:30 as security was a breeze. I think FTTF would have been great if you used tenders. We just never got off the ship. They did give us zone 2 to get off but they started with the self assist which seemed weird to me. Enjoy your cruise as it was fun.

First off this was our 13th cruise and 6th with Carnival.

Arrived at port at 9:40 as we had 10:00 check in and also had FTTF. Dropped luggage off and the line for FTTF was right there. Waited 10 minutes and headed to check in. Easy and checked in by 10:00. Asked where we should wait and was told anywhere, no special waiting area for FTTF. Freezing cold in waiting area. Was a little after noon before they started boarding. What a mess. We were the first 20 to check in and maybe 500th to board. They did VIP and Diamond and Platinum then called FTTF, but people were already in line and they just pushed and shoved and boarded. So FTTF not worth it for boarding. Finally on board our room was ready, took 3 hours to receive luggage. Ate at Guy's that was very good. Now just some quick observations.

Breakfast buffet was standard but very good I did not ever have to wait in line.

Lunch options and food also very good. Was long lines at Guy's and Pizza pirate at certain times. Desserts were very good.

Main Dining Room food and service were a Big disappointment. Our servers were great but had too many tables to be able to give the personalized touch we were used to. The main food choices were very limited and food just was not good. Beef was always bad other than the shortribs. Food was always luke warm. Soups and desserts were very good.

Entertainment

Shows were Ok. Same entertainers singing and dancing each night to a different theme. We miss the magicians and jugglers and other specialized entertainers they used to bring on. 2 nights no entertainment. Had a Hasbro game that should have been held just in a lounge. Comedy shows were all Great! Down side they only lasted 30 minutes. They had a great band in the atrium, but I never did find a band in any lounge. Had the piano singer in the piano bar and a singer in the casino.

Bar service.

I know they were around but not once did I get offered a drink on deck. You were better off to go to the bar and order. Same with the show lounge, very few servers for so many people

Cabin steward

Ours was wonderful. Seen and talked to him every day. Service twice per day.

Disembarkation:

Once again figured to use our FTTF to get off early for our early flight. Assigned number 2. They started with self assist starting with deck 1. All these people fighting to get off with tons of luggage. Was about 20 minutes and they called for deck 2. Then said numbers 1,2,3 could also get off. Fought all the luggage to get off as we talked to many people that were driving home. Why do they get off first when we have an 11:30 flight and also paid extra for FTTF. Oh well. Down to find our luggage. Now comes on conveyor like the airport. Here was luggage with numbers 18 20 33 and finally our 2. Why they have luggage for groups not ever called yet I don't know.

Any way the cruise was enjoyed by both of us just lots of changes since our last one. Might be looking at a different line next time and hopefully will be better. I know they cut staff to keep costs down, But service has sure declined.

Any questions please ask I will be happy to give my honest opinion

Now I see it. Thank you so much. 3 more long weeks and we are Glory bound

First poster stated the FTTF was on their boarding pass. I just printed our boarding pass and don't see anything posted.

Thank you for the reply's. Been 7 years since our last cruise, so we booked an aft wrap around balcony for next May

Anyone have menus for the Glory?

Thanks, You are the second person that has told me that is the place to go.

Hi Ken, Thanks for all of your input on this page. Will be arriving on Saturday. Do you have a recommendation for supper close to the Sheraton Riverwalk??

Thanks......Larry

I used Hotwire for 3star in downtown and did get the sheraton Riverwalk. $76

Hey that is great. I was up to $100 on Priceline and no takers. So I checked Hotwire 1 day at work and got room for $76. This would be for May 17th

I Got the 3.5 star downtown on hotwire for $76 and it was the Sheraton.
