Plus you get to use the shorter line at Guest Services.  I was happy to have FTTF just for that.

Hi @ninjacat123🙂

Me too! However I did enjoy the dedicated phone line more. Extremely convenient.

Hi @Anyislandwilldo🙂

As other members stated, it's hit or miss on which type of balcony you're going to be assigned.

Personally I'd be more concerned being assigned a cove balcony under the kitchen than an obstructed balcony with a lifeboat, or some other obstruction. Or a balcony cabin under/over an area that creates a lot of noise or thumping.

It's going to come down to your own personal preference & what you can tolerate & not tolerate. 

Whatever you decide, have a terrific sailing!

does anyone know if any Tandoors are still around on any ships?

Hi @stobe1🙂

Unfortunately & sadly, all of the Tandoors are gone.

However, on Splendor (only) there is Masala Tiger.

We are booked on an inside cabin on Carnival Magic (cabin 9312) and it is located beneath the Lido Deck "Beach Pool".  I am worried it might be really noisy

1 hour ago, wgeddings said:

Thanks.  I will get it switched.  

Hi @wgeddings🙂

I notice you are switching cabins. Very wise decision!

Cabins directly under the lido deck pool area are often prone to deck chairs scraping sounds; Deck chairs being washed, stacked & stored away every evening by crew; Deck chairs being set up in the very early morning hours causing scraping & banging sounds.

And that's just the chairs.

There are other things to consider as well, such as; Deck parties; Stomping/thumping; Music; Pool issues & draining; Maintenance doing work, and so on & so on...

As other members suggested, its always best to have cabins above & below you. A cabin sandwich.

I hope everything works out. Have a wonderful sailing!

Yes, Carnival has (areas on the ship) that have water dispensers where you can fill your own water bottle.

I know "low and center" on the ship is best, but I wonder if it would be better if she had a window verses a balcony verses an inside cabin?? 

Hi @snorkler8🙂

Middle of ship; Lower deck; Balcony Cabin (fresh air)

Have a terrific sailing!

On Carnival? No

On Royal? Yes

The huge difference for me is that Royal actually has a Sommelier who pairs a wine with each course and gives a quick lesson on each wine and why they have chosen that wine for that course.

On Carnival, you get to choose a red or a white and that's it.

The course selection, preparation, and presentation are very close to one another on each cruise line.

Hi @klfrodo🙂

Yes, sadly Carnivals Chef Table does not do wine pairing. Only red or white.

However, Carnival does do wine pairing in their Steakhouse.

1/2 glass with each course for $20
