ALWAYS CRUZIN

If you intend to satay a a Hotel you ARE required to purchase. The cost will depend on how many days you intend to stay.

Yup! I buy a bottle of rum on the ship get the unlimited soda package. No need to buy for two. Price ends up low compared to the drink package you need to purchase for all adults in the state room. Run out. Just buy another bottle of alcohol.

We enjoy rum. So to save a lot of $$$$. I buy a bottle of rum on the ship and purchase the bubbles package. Only need to purchase for one. Unlimited soda.

Agree. On one cruise the deli had great fries. Got the burger and then got the fries at the deli. Hopefully our up and coming cruise on the Liberty will have good Guys burgers. Not the paper thin ones on our last Carnival cruise 2 years ago. I hate asking, but you can have them make a burger your way.

Has this ever happened on any other Carnival ship? If it has, would you not think they would install automatic fire control systems in the tail made of fiberglass and easily burned? What caused the fire? Was it poor maintenance? I am sure Carnival will figure it out and prevent any future tail fires.

Liberty

Your welcome. If you are going on a Carnival ship. You will dock at a different location. They will probably do the same at that building.

Another thing. You can remove the Princess app. Reboot your phone and re load the Princess app.

Make sure your phone has the latest update. If not, you may have problems with the app.

What is happening on current cruises now? Anyone on the Liberty recently? Just took a 2 dayer on the Margaritaville and no masks were required at all. Food prepares did wear them.

Next time buy a bottle on board and purchase the soda package. Far better deal.

You are correct. Our 25th was OBC the cost of the cruise. You can choose to do both if you both are on the 25th or more cruises. This one will be our 50th. We will see what happens.

When I booked I asked. Took the cruise. Did not stay. Was not required. If you intend to get off you will need your mask to go into and out of the reception building. My son and daughter said after that they took off the masks and were never required to put them back on until they returned to the same building to board the ship. $12 pp 25 min ride had no A/C in the van. Roasted both ways. Want to do a free nice beach. Go to town, go past the police station, There it is.

Our A/C worked great. However the one in my Sons cabin would not go below 79 degrees. A wall night light was not working as the fridge was not also. He and my daughters room had the same problem when boarding. The toilet overflowed. Never again for any of us. So far over priced for everything. I just booked a 4 day cruise on the Carnival Liberty. The total price was less than the 1-1/2 day cruise. Ocean View with before tax and port charges. The Ocean View where we like it, $205.00 pp adding the port and tax charges came out $10.00 less than the Margaritaville cruise. Which of course includes, soft serve, pizza, Guys burgers and my wife's favorite the Mongolian Wok. Parking is also far less. Off site with shuttle and vets discount. $8.00 a day. Forgot to mention. Not only were the drinks watered down, they were small glasses. Why do I say watered down. I had them add rum to my coke at $10+. Almost could not taste it. He did not measure. Just turned the bottle upside down and poured. I thought is was going to be super strong. Nope. The best deal is to purchase a bottle at $99.00 instead of the 10 drinks for $99.00 and get the soda package for $24.00 unlimited. The bottle is sealed so you know it is the real thing. You can get a lot more than 10 drinks out of the bottle with the unlimited soda. Anyhow, once was enough for us. Never again at those high prices. Too rich for our blood.

Looking to do another Carnival end of June. Did they start priority boarding for Diamond again or still no priority. They said it was because of the covid problem causing this.

I posted my review. No charge for burgers and dogs during lunch. However, in the evening over $17.00 for a cheese burger at the 5 o'Clock bar. The review is long but I think covers a lot.

Well, just got back. 5/22/2022 A lot of good things to say and some not so good. I will start with the good. No masks required on the ship. Your choice. However you were required to wear them at Freeport. The ship itself was really nice. The outside looked really inviting. Lots of new. On outside and the inside. PVC inserts in all the windows so they all look new. In the public areas they had draw down motorized blinds for all the windows. Everywhere was nice and clean. The state room was a hand operated blind. Bright colors everywhere, Caribbean style, Nice! Lots and lots of Caribbean and nautical pictures. Many large monitors on the walls showing water views sea shore with the waves rolling in with sound. Really different and real nice. All seating was very comfortable. The show was super. Do not miss it. They had it each evening. Bingo once each day, one game $20.00 and trivia twice a day. The state room was real nice. We had an Ocean View. Big TV with about 50 channels. More than any other ship we have ever been on. New rug was shedding, it smelled new. Bed was excellent. Get your own ice. No daily planner put in your room. On the TV or go get one. Learned something very important. Going to bed the first evening, during the night we had no lights and the toilet would not flush. Low and behold. When you walk in your room the first switch is the master switch. It must be on for the lights to work and the toilet to flush. Who knew! Bathroom was a nice size. Large sink and fast hot water. Soap up the shower walls and spin around. It is small but useable. The towels were extremely plush and excellent. Some old showed but so what. 90%was really nice. FOOD! We did not do the Dining Room. The buffet food was surprisingly very good and a good selection. Enjoyed the food at every seating. Breakfast had everything you would expect. The crew cleaned off the tables fast. Really nice to see that. As for the crew themselves. Everyone we had contact with were all very nice and helpful. Now for things WE did not like. You might not care about these. ALL extras are way overpriced. With gratuity $17.00 regular cheese burger at the 5 o’Clock bar. I will not pay that for a burger. Pizza, was the same, with peperoni. $14.00 + $2.70 Gratuity so $17.69 BUT, the pizza was excellent. The best we ever had. The drinks were not what I expected. When we were on the BPCL before it switched. The drinks were strong and cost $2.00 less. Now less alcohol, that I ever expected on a JB cruise ship. My wife does not drink, she does not like alcohol. However the Pina Colada she drank. Said it was real weak. Your basic mixed drink will be just over $14.00 $12 + gratuity. So the 10 for $99 is a good deal. Gratuity on top of that also. You save about $2.00 a drink. If you have others with you, you can share the 10. I got the soda package for $24.00 with gratuity, unlimited. Add rum for $9.00. Lousy sound system for those doing trivia and bingo. Lots of feedback. All muffled. Super hard to understand. They need someone who can pronounce words in English clearly. The elevators drove us crazy. Sometimes over 5 min before you got one. One really disappointment for me. BPCL had a complimentary soft serve at the buffet. No longer. No ice cream anywhere. Gelato is $4.00 a scoop plus the gratuity. Ouch. Parking went up $2.00 a day. WHY? Most of the music was so loud it hurt your ears. Even the piano player had his mike so high you could not sit there. Most all got up and left. The music played so loud at customer service you could not hear them. Getting on the ship was fine. Getting off was aggravating. Got off the RCCL Harmony faster. It took over 1-1/2 hours from walking off the ship to getting in our car. Ship was almost fully booked. Not enough customs agents only 3 then later 4 plus they looked up each person’s pass port number. Really slow. All in all we had a super fun cruise. Looks like everyone got double billed. I am sure they will correct that. Last thing, $24.00 fuel charge per person. So my final thought. If you decide to go. Expect it to cost more for the extras than a regular normal cruise line.

Are they still at the same dock at Free Port? You need to take a long walk to get to the straw market if they are. Years ago the ship docked across from the current dock. You got off at the straw market. Would be nice if they had a golf cart type of shuttle.

No, Bahamas. I found out it is required if you stay. Not required for the 2 day cruise itself.

Was surprised to find out you pay for a burger or hot dog. Do they have soft serve still near the buffet? Is the buffet available for both evening meals? last time only the first evening. Are you still able to purchase the steak in the regular dining and not the steak house? Just found out today that we are negative and ready to sail on Friday. They just changed the type of tests they accept. They now accept all three. So you can get yours now at Walgreens rapid test available at most all Walgreens.

Is that $22 per night or day? If it is day that is $66 for the cruise. Was it not $20? That is getting way high a cost. I really have no use for valet parking. It should be offered but not required parking. Is there parking off site with shuttle service?

You can still get tested at the terminal. The cost is $75.00 I prefer to get mine 2-3 days before the cruise just incase it is positive.

New info. Not required unless you intend to stay or do the extended stay at a hotel.

Anyone know if the Bahamas Health Visa that is $40 pp is still required?

Can anyone tell me what is available for complimentary ice-cream and the hours you can get some.
