Sorry folks for being away for the past 24 hours but had some terrible news that we had to deal with. One of my best friends had a stroke while on board and had to be offloaded to hospital on St Kitts. So we have been tied up with helping all that we could. So I am back now and will download more video later this morning. 

Happy to hear things are looking better for your friend. We will continue to send up prayers.

Did they always have room for the stoller in the MDR?  Our little guy will only be 6 months, so worried the high chair will be too big.  Was also thinking about one of those little chairs that hooks on the side of the table, but hard to know if it will fit, depends on the thickness of the table.

The stroller we used slid very close to the table almost like occupying chair space. He would eat and fall asleep. We would just pull down the top, let him sleep as we finished dinner. The staff was so sweet that they sent him home with a dish of chocolate chip cookies every evening. To answer your question, we had room at our table every night for the small stroller. 🥰

PRAYERS GOING UP FOR EVERYONE

We stayed away from Izumi for years because of the misconception that it was all sushi.  It is now one of our favorites and only one in our party of 4 eats sushi.

Does the Izumi on Ovation do Hibachi?

Does this ship have Teppanyaki/Izumi Hibachi. I know the have Izumi Sushi, but we are interested in the Hibachi Dinner because some in the group don't eat sushi. We have the UDP and need to decide what options we have for dinner and make reservations. TIA

There are a few one way sailings for Quantum and Ovation between Seattle and Vancouver at the beginning and end of the Alaska season but that is to satisfy the PVSA.  The typical Alaska season sailings are round trip Seattle.

What is PVSA?

Just now, crzndeb said:

That’s a one way…a RT is when you start in one city and end in the same city, just like flying.

THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!🥰

There are no one way trips from Seattle.  One-way are all out of Vancouver on smaller older ships.  If you want a newer larger ship you need to do the round trip out of Seattle and sacrifice the itinerary to a certain extent. 

Hello there...what is it called when you leave out of Seattle and end in Vancouver? Is this considered one-way or round trip? I am getting confused. TIA for your help☺️

Only Seattle

THANKS!!!

What about the port in Vancouver? Our Alaska cruise ends in Vancouver, and we fly to Seattle to catch flight back home. Curious if they off luggage Valet.

The app should list all the open venues - look at the current sailing.

Thanks Biker19, you always steer me right 😁

Is there any new information as to what is available for lunch on Embarkation besides Windjammer.

Are the candy straws the only option onboard? no paper straws available????

I have read many posts about access to cabin once onboard but recently got seriously confused. My boarding pass says cabin entry tells me no access by anyone until 1:30pm. I received an email Sunday that says UPDATE and Online Check-in Invitation. The email states once onboard I will have access to my cabin. Which one is correct!!!

I was not able to get a drink right away with my boarding pass.  You have to muster first!  

 

Now, I didnt have the CHEERS! package but silver lining is our muster was right near the Red Frog Pub and I got a free drink for being first customer!

Gotcha!!! So basically get on board ...head to muster station...then on to the nearest watering hole 🤩

You use your boarding pass.  Unless you are sailing out of Galveston or New York, works when you board.

Thank you so very much! 

I am curious to know when I can start my "Cheers" package. Do you use your boarding pass to get your first beverage, or do you wait until you get to your cabin and get your Sail n Sign card?

Thank you everyone for all the great and informative responses. ☺️

One, you don't need it.  It's a gimmick from Carnival that lets you put money on you sail n sign account before your cruise.  It's for those that like to plan ahead and know what they're going to spend.  You do lose it if you don't spend it all.  

Only used it once when there was a 20% off sale for a couple of days a few years ago during the pandemic so Carnival could generate some cash flow.

so its alsmost like onboard credit only you pay for...can it be used in gift shops or photo gallery?

Thise Cruise4 Cash is new to me...What is it? and why do I need it?

That must be an Ohio thing. My mom died in her house, no police showed up. My wifes grandfather died in his house, no police showed up. My next door neighbor died in his house, no police showed up. This has happened in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. 

My grandson died in his apartment in Virginia and Police did come.

Yes, you get a free bottle of house wine or 50% off any other bottle of wine the first 2 nights in the steakhouse.

Is this offer for all Carnival Steakhouses or specific ships?...TIA
