We were at Tabyana in 2016. There was a vendor set up right on the beach. We only needed fins, as we already had masks/snorkels. We haggled the price with him, and paid $20 for 3 sets of fins for the day.

And it might depend on which ship you were on. Again, we were on valor. We were told at several bar locations that we could only get the smaller bottles, not the large ones with cheers

Another thing you might consider, is that you have to wait five minutes between purchasing bottles of water on the cheers package. We would try to get several bottles to take on excursions with us, so we would start early, and hit several different locations and stock up! Sometimes we would also get a few bottles of powerade, but I believe we only were able to get those at the casino bar

We also drink a lot of water. We sailed the Valor in April 2016, and had the Cheers package. I honestly can't remember if the bottles for the teeny tiny ones, or the 16 ounce ones that you get in multi packs at home. Sorry I can't help with that. But I do know that they were definitely not the really large bottles

I just called the Fun Shops and was told my son cannot purchase Cheers because he will not be 21 on the day we sail. This is a relief! I don't think he will really drink very much at all so I didn't want to waste that money. Plus I really don't need him having a few pass to drink for a week!!

My husband and I will be purchasing the Cheers package. Our son will be 20 years old when we sail, but will turn 21 mid-way through the cruise. Does anyone know if he will also have to purchase Cheers? Is the requirement to purchase based on your age the day of sailing?

We sailed Carnival valor April 2016. Originally hadn't planned on going to dinner on formal night, but the last minute decided to do it my husband and teenage son only had nice khaki shorts with a nice polo shirt. We were turned away from the dining room for that night. But all other nights they were able to wear their nice shorts with polo shirts without a problem

We went during spring break 2016. The ship was full of kids, but they let my son advance to the next age group up

Last year my son was 14 1/2 and he was able to get into the older group (15-17 yo). We asked The club director and he was perfectly fine with it. I'm sure that would be fine

Last year I called to see a price for upgrading from an anterior to a balcony, and was quoted a an upgrade price of $1000. About a week or so later I got a phone call from Carnival offering me an upgrade for $250, which I jumped on! I'd like to think that my phone call played a part in snagging that upgrade deal, but one never knows

We went on a seven day cruise last year on spring break. Never had a problem getting seats for the shows. However, could never find a lounge chair by the pool!

We sailed the Valor 2 weeks ago. We were off the ship by 9 am and were outside waiting for our shuttle to MCO. Our flight wasn't until 3:15. We waited at least 30 minutes for our shuttle to pick us up at the port (Cocoa Beach Shuttle). Security at MCO was an hour long! We were in our terminal by 12:30-isg

Hmmmm...we are booked on the Valor for April 2, 2016.......I will keep my eyes and ears open and hope we still get to take her!
