  1. Just got off the Pride and used the app and the messaging and had no problems. The cost is a one time fee of $5/device for the length of the cruise. We like the fun Times feature along with access to the menus and other events.

     

    Do you need to keep data on? If so, did you get any data charges from your phone company?

  2. I used the app last week on the Triumph and found it to be very helpful. Some of the features include an interactive ship's map, updated daily activities list, and "where can I dine now" link. I did not pay $5 to use the chat feature because I read that the app must be open to receive the message.

     

    Thank you for the info!

  3. The most recent policy I know about is one bottle per person, not two. It seems to me that it has been that way as long as I have been taking Carnival cruises (since 2000) so maybe your friend remebered it wrong or is confusing Carnival with someone else.

     

    Sorry I worded it incorrectly. There will be 2 people in my room so I just said 2 per room instead of 1 per adult per room. ;)

    She said her travel agent told her but maybe she misunderstood? Thanks for your response.

  5. There is a messaging function, although we found (in December, 2016, on the Magic) that messages were often not delivered for a long time after they were sent. Perhaps someone with more recent experience can tell us how it went for them.

     

    Thank you

  6. On 10 there will usually be a band or dj. Their area is right below the big screen. You can look down on the activities on 9 and the pool, usually there's a good breeze. For quiet, follow the path to the back of the ship, there are several areas to sit and even shade along the way. Lots of people read there and look over the side of the ship.

     

    Thanks

  7. They do have an omelet station. At Sea Day brunch you can order omelets as well.

     

    Serenity area will also have a bar that is open at certain times, it's high up with a good view. In deck 10, right above the pool area, there is plenty of seating and the servers come up there.

     

    As someone mentioned, the bars are on 9 at the pool, and that view is behind glass.

     

    This sounds nice. Is there any music playing?

  8. Conquest (up until now) did not have a Serenity Deck. She is in dry dock right now and the talk is they will be adding this, but Carnival has been very vague about exactly what all they are doing to her. So until she comes out of dry dock for her first sailing (next Saturday the 14th is her first after dry dock, which I happen to be on), no one can be exactly sure what the situation will be ;)

     

    Well you will have to keep us posted! :D

  9. 1) There are bars on the Lido Deck that you can see off to the Horizon from.

     

    2) Typically two comedy shows a night. Sometimes the same comedian (always different sets), sometimes different comedians work the same night.

     

    3) I don't know, not an egg person.

     

    4) Yes, outdoors on the Lido Deck there are specific smoking locations.

     

    5) Haven't sailed the conquest specifically, so N/A

     

    6) Shows on Carnival have been getting less and less good over the years. They cut out the live band, performer counts have fallen. The overall production of the shows are still good though, still worth checking out at least one or two.

     

    7) Only the pre-sailing price. Never on sale below that.

     

    Thank you Jeremy

  10. I haven't been on Carnival in quite some time. I am hoping you can answer some questions for me?

     

    1) Is there a bar up top with a view?

    2) Comedy Club. Is there more then 1 comedian a night?

    3) Do they have an omelet station in the buffet in the morning?

    4) Smoking areas?

    5) Do you have a favorite spots?

    6) How are the shows?

    7) Do the drink packages ever go on sale?

     

    Thank you so much for your time and answers!
